Chapter 1031 - 1034: Save Me… Save Me…

Melody Thorne toyed with the order in her palm. Weston Hawthorne had clearly calculated everything before he died, ensuring she would accept it all.

"I’ll think about it."

Thorne Family Studio.

Everyone had already gone home. For the past two days, Han Shan hadn’t come to bother her, and even Elias Hale hasn’t shown up since that day!

Selina Sloan finished the last painting she was working on, which was an order from a client and needed to be delivered by seven in the evening.

She drove to the location and rang the doorbell.

"Miss, please walk right in; the door isn’t locked!" a cute, round little robot outside indicated.

Selina thought the person inside might be a fan of mechanical objects. She pushed the door open, and what caught her eye was the thick layer of rose petals covering the floor, leading all the way to the Elysian-style staircase...

Luxurious and visually stunning.

"Miss, my master is upstairs; please proceed upstairs!" The sound from the robot echoed from both sides of the rose-petal path.

Selina Sloan felt a little confused, her heart inexplicably fluttering, as if this scene was prepared especially for her.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but what she held in her arms made her continue upstairs.

Selina Sloan stepped up the stairs, reaching the second floor.

A label on a room’s door read "Please push the door open!"

Selina Sloan hesitated for a few seconds, then pushed the door open. Inside, the dim, alluring lighting and the flickering red candles on the long, rectangular table filled the air with the scent of Fraelance wine. On the wall, a painting deeply pierced her eyes!

An overwhelming flood of memories surged the moment she opened the door.

"Elias Hale, you said we would always be together; if I ever got lost, you’d find me..."

"Elias Hale, we haven’t even married yet, and you’re already taking wedding photos? How could you do this?"

"Elias Hale, can you even cook? Why doesn’t it look like the picture..."

"Elias Hale, save me... save me..."

"Han Shan, I hate you!"

The woman in the photo on the wall was smiling beautifully, her skin like a matchless alabaster jade, her face bearing perfect Elysian features...

She wore a wedding dress, designed and personally dressed on her by Elias Hale, while the man embracing her wore a white suit, exuding nobility and restraint, his eyes full of deep affection!

Elias Hale came from behind her, unable to restrain himself any longer, unable to watch without acting.

"Happy birthday," he said, his tall and slender figure standing behind her, his broad chest against her shoulder. The familiar feeling rushed over her, overwhelming Selina Sloan’s senses.

It eroded her already fragile heart, layer by layer.

Birthday? She had already forgotten about her own birthday, never remembering it!

"Thank you," Selina Sloan tried to calm herself, placing the painting on the table in front of her, distancing herself from Elias Hale. "Thank you for remembering my birthday. I’ve delivered the painting, and I should leave now."

Elias Hale couldn’t allow her to leave, his long fingers closing and locking the door, he sat opposite her, taking a glass of red wine with his slender fingers, "Since you’re here, stay for a while."

Selina Sloan glanced at the locked door, struggled to calm herself, and sat down opposite him. "Mr. Hale, I have many things to do. If you wanted to help me celebrate my birthday, I’ve already thanked you. When will you let me go? You promised not to entangle with me anymore."
