Love That Never Loses the Chemistry

Peter ran down the hill and drove straight back to the hospital.

What a stupid man he was. He actually believed that someone would dare to commit a crime in a place like a hospital.

However, Eleanor was indeed good at acting.

Her eyes were full of respect for Peter and me in the first place.

When things went well between her and Peter, she started to show up in front of me.

After she was pregnant, Eleanor began to provoke me.

On Valentine's Day, I just received Peter's gift. Eleanor already posted something on Moments: I like your gifts. You're so sweet, like these milky candies.

The accompanying picture showed some milk candies on an exquisite tray and a diamond necklace with a cherry blossom pendant.

I looked at my gifts, which included a box of chocolates and a gardenia necklace, and felt only irony.

"Zoey." Peter came over and put the necklace on me. "I designed this pendant for you. Gardenia..."

"It represents a lifetime of love." I interrupted him and smiled. "Mr. Samuel is really loyal and fair. I wonder which is more difficult, designing the cherry blossom or gardenia?"

Peter's expression changed. "Zoey, I already told you that I got drunk that day. How long are you gonna keep raking up the past?"

Peter didn't understand that it wasn't me who was making trouble. Instead, it was his little lover.

I held my chin and counted down to three in my mind as I watched Peter being anxious.

Peter's phone rang on time.

I shook my glass. "Why don't you answer it? The weather is good today, and there's no thunder. Ms. Shane shouldn't be scared. Judging from her menstrual period last month, she shouldn't have menstrual pain, either. So let me guess. Does she feel lonely on Valentine's Day?"

"You must be careful when she's feeling lonely. She may become depressed over time. Ms. Shane is young and has to take care of you and work for you. That must be tough for her. So, you should take care of her emotions."

I took a sip of red wine, still smiling. "Don't bother coming back next time, just accompany her. She's still a girl. If you don't coax her, she'll be mad."

Peter's face turned immediately. Seeing me stand up, he grabbed my hand in panic. "I won't answer her call. I won't contact her again. Zoey, believe me. I just did it with her once after drinking. You are the only one in my heart. You are the one I love..."

Eleanor stood in front of the door, her face pale.

When Peter turned around and saw her, she ran away crying.

I saw the panic in Peter's eyes and sneered, "You're not gonna chase her?"

"No." Peter squeezed my hand hard.

It hurt so much.

——

When Peter rushed to the hospital, Eleanor was hiding in a corner of the terrace.

She was trembling with fear, and when she saw Peter, she ran over and hugged him tightly.

"Peter, you are finally here! I thought..."

"Where are they?" Peter lowered his eyes and looked at Eleanor.

To be precise, he was looking at her belly.

Eleanor burst into tears. "I don't know. They were chasing me, and I ran away. Luckily, it was dark, and I know the hospital. So, they didn't find me. I was so scared. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you again..."

"Okay. No need to be afraid. Let's go back."

Peter patted her back and tried to help her go back, but Eleanor's legs went weak, and she fell into his arms.

"Peter, my... my legs went numb..."

Peter picked her up.

One could easily see the satisfaction in Eleanor's eyes.

She had the same look on that night of Valentine's Day.
