Love Contract novel Chapter 351

Although he was attempting to comfort himself with those thoughts, Victor was still feeling uneasy.

Perhaps he had been too impulsive this morning. He’d said some harsh things to Ena. Normally when he spoke like that to her, she was quick to forgive it.

But it was already so late in the night, and Ena still hadn't come back to the hospital to see him.

The unease grew inside him, so Victor turned over and took his phone off the bedside table. He swiped it open to find nothing. There were no good night messages from Ena like she normally sent every night.

Victor laughed at himself, the sound dark and mocking. 'When she was by your side, you drove her away. And now that she may have really left, you are missing her. Are all men like you?' he asked himself in his heart.

The moon's cool light shone through the window, flooding the room with silver light. Ena was curled up on the bed with her legs crossed as she stared at her phone.

"Please take care of yourself and rest. Good night."

She'd edited the message time and time again, but couldn't bring herself to send it.

His words kept repeating in her mind. "You're crazy! You're asking to have sex with me? Who do you think you are to ask that of me? The woman who will join me in bed will be an experienced wild one, not some naive little girl. I have no interest in teaching a virgin!"

With Victor's words still echoing in her ears, Ena couldn't help but burst into tears as she threw her phone away from her.

Victor had been in the hospital for three days with a constant stream of visitors. All except for Ena.

Each time the door opened, Victor looked out of habit, expecting to see Ena but it was never her. He grew more solemn as time passed, especially when he couldn't understand why he was feeling this way.

He wanted her to come and not to come at the same time.

"Ena," called Karson as he entered the Entertainment Department of the AJ Group. He strolled towards Ena with one hand in his pocket and asked, "Have you thought anymore about going to the outdoor reality show of ZM TV? What's your decision?"

"I've been considering it. It seems like a good opportunity for me," Ena said. "What about you? Have you made up your mind?"

"Of course I have. Now that the outdoor program is so popular, I believe it's in my best interest." Karson's smile was dark as he said, "I need the popularity boost anyway."

Ena smiled. "You're the backbone of this company. Whenever there's a good play script, you're the first actor to be considered. If you aren't popular, what about us?"

With a hint of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, Karson said, "But how can I compete with Victor? He's like the sun at high noon. The moment he reappears, the audience will forget about me."

"Yes, he is..." she whispered. No one could ever compare with him.

Ena looked down at her hands when she stopped talking. It had been three days since she'd seen Victor.

Without her to harass him, he must be incredibly happy, shouldn't he? She'd seen pictures of Elliana coming and going from the hospital each day. The thought of the two of them together made her chest ache.

"What's the matter with you?" Karson asked at the look on Ena's face.

"Oh! Nothing, nothing." Ena hurriedly waved her hand to brush away his concern.

With a smile playing at the corner of his lips, Karson gently placed his hand on Ena's shoulder and pulled her into a hug. "Are you sure? You don't look well. Have you been tired recently?"

Frowning, Ena pulled out of his arms and stepped back. "It's possible. But I have something else I have to do now."

"Alright. I'll see you around then."

Ena scurried away, never looking back to notice the feral and cruel smirk on Karson's face.

"Victor's injury has healed up nicely, and he's back to shooting 'My Boyfriend Is Superman'."

"Elliana visited him at the hospital every day. The only explanation for that is that she's trying to garner his favor. She must like him."

"That large-scale outdoor reality show, 'Adventures for the Young', is about to start shooting. Karson and Ena from the AJ Group have confirmed they'll be joining it."

"Victor and Ena are all over the headlines still despite them being separated and having no interaction with each other currently." Selah and Mary were chatting with one another in the cafe about recent events.

"I heard that Ena hasn't contacted Victor in a long while. She's being stubborn," Mary said with a shake of her head. 'Tm not sure if this spells good news or bad news forthem."

"They're grown-ups. They have to figure it out for themselves," Selah said.

"True," Mary said with a nod. "Last time I saw Ena, she was smiling, but I could see the worry in her eyes. I asked her about what Victor had said to her in the hospital, but she wouldn't tell me a single thing. Never mind. How have you been doing?"

"Me?" Selah pursed her lips in thought and then the corners of her lips curled up into a small smile. "My work has been suspended for now. That reality show that Ena will be participating in sent me an invite as well, but Barry said it was too dangerous and wouldn't allow me to go."

"Awww..." Mary cooed. She giggled as she covered her mouth. "That's so sweet!"

"Oh shush..." Selah said with a blush.

In F City.

Ena led her agent to the hotel that had been arranged by the TV station, so that they could get ready to shoot the next day. The moment she walked through the doors, she noticed Karson waiting in the foyer.

"Ena, you're here!" Karson confidently strolled over to her with a smile as if they were close friends.

"I am, yes." Ena wouldn't look him in the eyes but asked, "Why are you here so early?¹'

"I had a project here yesterday, so I arrived the day before that."
