Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 367

When she switched off the light, he noticed a tear trickling down her cheek. Even though he was satisfied physically, he felt suffocated inside. Her silence made him feel even worse.

The room was pitch dark, with only a faint light coming in from the street lamp downstairs. He stared at her back, his eyebrows furrowing more and more. His body instinctively craved to be closer to her, not maintain this distance.

Elijah moved closer, stretching out his arm to pull her into his arms. When she felt his warmth, she pushed him away with all her might.

"Let go of me!" she murmured softly.

"No!" His arms held her tight, his chin resting on her smooth shoulder, inhaling her scent, "I'm not leaving tonight."

She felt tied up, unable to move.

He was not gentle, but not as rough as last time either. Since when did he consider her opinion about staying or leaving? What good was her opinion to him anyway?

He didn't need to talk at all. He just did whatever he damn well pleased!

The next day.

Violette, as usual, woke up at seven in the morning. When she got up, the man in the bed simply opened his eyes, glanced at her, then rolled over and continued to sleep. She quickly got dressed and left the room.

Both kids were awake. Ian was brushing his sister's hair with a comb.

Violette thought about the cries of her children from the previous night and her heart ached.

She quickly composed herself and entered their room.

"Good job, my little ones! You guys got up without mommy having to wake you!" She approached them and pulled them both into a hug.

"Mommy! Did that jerk Elijah leave? Did he hurt you?" Rita's small hand gripped her arm, her eyes scanning her face.
