His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Borrowing Money from Jefferson 

Jefferson chuckled. 

He rubbed Elianna's face with his large hand, saying, "Ask Albert to take you shopping for clothes." 

At this moment, he had shed his harsh demeanor and was exuding warmth like a caring lover. 

Seeing him in a good mood, Elianna thought it might be a good time to bring up the topic of borrowing money. 

As he withdrew his hand, Elianna grabbed onto his wrist. 

Jefferson's wrist bone was big, and her small hand couldn't quite hold it. 

Jefferson took a glance at her with his eyes squinting. "What's it? Did you realize your mistakes?" 

Elianna mumbled something in response and then latched onto his arm, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes. 

"You sent Albert to accompany me shopping. What about you?" 

Seeing this little woman put on her familiar pleasing expression again, Jefferson immediately sensed that she wanted something from him. 

He sat down on the couch with legs crossed, and said, "I have something else to do." 

"Oh." 

Elianna sat beside him, her mind racing on how to bring up the subject. 

As she was pondering her little scheme, Jefferson pinched her nose and gave it a shake. 

"What are you thinking about?" 

"Huh?" 

Elianna feigned innocence. "Well, nothing." 

Jefferson chuckled. "You are not good at lying at all." 

Elianna felt a bit embarrassed. Since they had come this far in the conversation, she thought it would be better to bring it up now. 

She asked in a cautious tone, "Jefferson, how's your business going lately?" 

It was a redundant question. 

Jefferson controlled almost all the underground businesses in Oakpool, and even the Larsen family had to be cautious around him. 

Asking how his business was doing was like asking if the sun was shining. 

Jefferson was toying with her hair with his fingers as he heard her question. He paused for a moment, gave her a sly smile, and said, "Are you in need of money?" 

Jefferson had said it out straightforwardly, leaving all of Elianna's subtle hints stuck in her throat. 

Elianna sat up straight and her expression became more reserved. "If I borrow money from you, would you lend it to me?" 

"No, I wouldn't." 

The three words inflicted a great deal of hurt on Elianna. 

She couldn't expect him to help after all.
