Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

She would do anything to dig up the truth.

After a long pause, Elgin said, “I can trust you”

Letitia blinked, totally gobsmacked. Did she hear that right? Did Elgin say he had trust in her?

“Are you for real?” Letitia asked cautiously, “You believe I didn’t harm her?”

‘I don’t want to dig into this anymore.”

Whether it was a deliberate tumble or an accident, it was lethal for both pregnant women.

Letitia was even more flabbergasted, “You won’t blame it on me anymore? Just like that?”

“As long as you play ball, we can turn the page,” Elgin said, “Bottom line, Shela’s baby is gone, and yours is still here. She’s the victim; you owe her an apology to get her forgiveness.”

“Me apologize to Shela?”

“Yes.”

“Just because she had a miscarriage? And I didn’t?”

“Yes.

Letitia laughed, “Elgin… so that’s your angle” It wasn’t just about apologizing but keeping it up until Shela forgave her. Why should she need Shela’s forgiveness?

“Yes. Letitia, I’ve already cut you a lot of slack.”

“No way,” she refused, “I don’t owe Shela anything!”

Elgin’s expression turned icy in an instant, “Letitia, learn to read the room!”

“I’ve always been stubborn, and you know it.”

If she wanted to play it smooth, she wouldn’t be in this mess right now.

Some things, it’s not that she won’t do them; she just doesn’t want to.

Elgin lifted his knee onto the bed, and with a flick, he tilted her chin up, “Letitia, you killed my child, and I’m just asking for an apology, nothing more and you still won’t give it?”

What on earth does she want! He’s been lowering his standards over and over for her!

Letitia replied, “I didn’t do anything wrong, so I won’t apologize.”

Elgin was nursing a burgeoning headache. This woman could always get on his nerves so easily!

“Letitia!” His roar almost echoed through the whole of Ivory Towers.

Still, Letitia insisted, “I’m not wrong.” The one at fault was Shela! And now she’s supposed to apologize? Not happening!

“Elgin, what I hate most is being framed, Letitia stared into his intense eyes, “especially being forced to carry the blame!”

Her dad was framed and jailed. Back then, she was too young to understand, completely clueless and powerless. Maybe if Dad had just held on, not bowed down, fought back, things could’ve turned out a bit better.

Now, the road to uncovering the truth behind Marcel Ramirez’s death… it’s so long! And she was so exhausting.

“I told you, Shela miscarried, it’s only right and proper for you to apologize, what’s the big deal?” Elgin pressed, his voice rising, “Will it kill you?”

“You can’t see the wounds inside!

Elgin’s gaze drifted down, landing awkwardly in front of her. Letitia raised her hand to block it.

“An apology could save you some hardship,” Elgin said, “Don’t make me back you into a corner every time before you come around.”

Elgin, you know how many comers you’ve backed me into…”

Latida brushed off his hand and smiled. There will come a day.”

Mer words were cryptic, and Elgin didn’t understand it, he frowned.
