CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: HIS HEART

Elaine forced herself to take his sight away from Tan. Although she didn’t want to, but her eyes voluntarily landed at Janine, who remained seated in her chair. She took the water goblet on the table and slowly drank it.

Elaine flinched when she felt Marco clutch on her shoulder. She raised her eyes at him. He looked down. He clenched his jaw when he saw she was about to cry.

She swallowed the imaginary lump in her throat. Before the tears begin to fall, Marco hurriedly geared her towards the exit.

One last time, she turned to look at Tan. He was also looking at them. The emotion that’s evident in his eyes was unreadable to her, for her own eyes have been blurred with tears.

She bit her lip hard, her chin is quivering because she’s reigning her emotion. She wants to cry but is being held back by Marco’s tight hold.
