Chapter 286
Elvira sighed in exasperation, completely speechless. She had no idea what Cole was thinking, suddenly deciding to take her away and even imprison her.
Based on her knowledge of him, she knew she had many ways to make him compromise. Even though he had changed a lot, she didn’t believe he would remain firm if she threatened him with her life.
“Give me one reason,” Elvira said, looking at him in disbelief.
“What reason?” Cole looked at her with a complicated gaze, struggling to harden his heart and not soften.
“Why are you doing this?” Elvira asked. After all, there was nothing else she could ask.
“Zach is too dangerous. He will always hurt you. I can’t stand watching you suffer because of him,” Cole answered directly, giving his reason for needing to take her away.
“But I’ve brought danger to him too. We’re married, and marriage means we’re one. When I brought danger to him, he didn’t blame me,” Elvira explained.
“The danger he brings to you is far more severe, and it may keep coming. I can’t watch you suffer anymore, Cole said, his heart feeling like it was going to explode. He didn’t want to see her hurt again.
“You… I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?” Elvira knew that nothing she said would make sense to him now. Frustrated, she didn’t want to say anything more. She decided to think of a way to get back once they reached their destination.
If Cole really thought he could imprison her, he clearly didn’t know her very well.
“Wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring it,” Cole immediately ordered his subordinates. The flight was long, and he had brought food himself, fearing that Elvira wouldn’t like the airplane food.
The food was quickly brought to her, and although Elvira was a bit anxious about being taken away by Cole and worried about Zach, she knew she was not in danger and could return, so she wasn’t as desperate.
The key now was that she was on a plane, and there was no way to jump off, so being anxious was useless. She decided to relax and wait until they landed before figuring out how to get back.
Cole arranged the food for her and handed her the fork, saying, These are your favorite foods. Eat more.”
Elvira was still angry at him, so her attitude wasn’t very friendly. She grabbed the fork forcefully. Cole looked at her with a bitter expression, but he didn’t say anything further. He ate his food, feeling a bit troubled inside.
He didn’t want it to be this way. He had originally just wanted to silently stay by her side, content with seeing her every day. He had even considered blessing her and Zach.
But after seeing her suffer repeatedly because of Zach, he couldn’t stay calm anymore. Then, with his subordinates whispering in his ear, he became determined to take her away from Zach.
Even though she was angry, Elvira didn’t want to punish her stomach. She was pregnant and needed the nutrition for herself and the babies. After eating, she put on her eye mask, leaned back in her chair, and went to sleep.
Cole gently covered her with a blanket, silently cleaning up the food.
For the rest of the flight, Elvira ignored him. Cole wasn’t very talkative, and when they were together in the past, it was always Elvira who did the talking. Now that she was silent, he didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphere between them was quiet.
Elvira simply woke up, ate, then slept again. The flight wasn’t uncomfortable for her.
Chapter 280.
Meanwhile, the situation on the other side was much more frane. Zach couldn’t find Elvira, and his anxiety grew to the point that he couldn’t stand. Samson and Spike came to investigate what had happened.
Leonard appeared and said, “There’s no need to search anymore Elvira was taken by Cole. She should be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Zach rushed over and grabbed Leonard’s collar. His eyes were filled with rage. “How do you know? Are you in league with Cole?”
Zach was completely out of his mind with panic and couldn’t think clearly or rationally anymore.
“If I were in league with him, would I be telling you all this?” Leonard said calmly, not at all angry. “I think Elvira doesn’t want to see you panic, so I’m here to let you know on her behalf
Samson quickly stepped forward and pulled Zach away, saying, Zach, I don’t think he’s lying.”
“I’m asking you now. How do you know about this?” Zach could no longer stand not knowing Elvira’s whereabouts, while an outsider knew exactly where she was.
The most important thing was that no matter where Cole had taken Elvira, she wouldn’t be in danger, which did provide him with a slight sense of relief.
“Do you remember the shooting incident? The one where Elvira was injured in the arm? She didn’t tell you the truth. The people who hurt her were your enemies. They couldn’t kill you, so they tried to vent their anger by shooting her,” Leonard explained.
He continued, “From that moment, she hired me as her secret bodyguard, and I’ve been protecting her in the shadows ever since.” Leonard’s tone grew a bit irritated.
He hadn’t wanted to bring up this matter, but Zach had failed to protect Elvira properly, and he thought continuing to hide the truth would only leave him in the dark.
Zach stared at him in shock, stumbling back two steps. “It’s still because of me!”
He had always thought that Nina was behind that incident and had dealt with her accordingly. He never imagined that he was the root cause. He had once again caused Elvira to get hurt, almost leading to her death.
Leonard said, “Elvira didn’t want you to blame yourself, so she didn’t burden you. I guess Cole knows the full story too. He lost confidence in you and decided to take Elvira away.”
Elvira. “He thinks that’s the only way to keep her from being hurt by you.” Leonard revealed all the truths bluntly. He wanted Zach to reflect on what he needed to do to better protect
Zach’s face turned ashen. Seeing his distress, Samson yelled angrily, “Shut up!”
“I’ve said everything I needed to say. I’ve sent you her flight number to your phone,” Leonard said, pulling out his phone, quickly operating it, then turning to leave.
Zach hurriedly pulled out his phone to check the flight details. It was heading to a small country in the Southern Hemisphere, and the flight would take at least forty hours.
“Prepare a private jet immediately. I need to go to this country, ach said, his only thought being to bring Elvira back.
“Zach, calm down. Let’s verify the information. It’s not too late to act once we confirm it. Elvira should be safe with Cole.” Samson tried to advise, hoping Zach wouldn’t act impulsively.
“No matter what, I need to see Elvira first,” Zach said, pushing Samson aside and signaling him to prepare.
Samson wanted to continue persuading him but was pulled away by Spike, who began preparing the private jet.
Spike understood that no one could stop Zach now. Elvira was his vulnerability, no one could touch her,
