Watching the intimate display between the two in the hospital room, Eleanor Bishop found herself rooted to the spot. The color drained from her lips, leaving them deathly pale.
She had never seen this gentle side of Archie Sumrs.
If she didn’t know any better, she wouldn’t have thought anything of it...
Only after seeing Mika Sumrs close her eyes did Archie Sumrs stand up. The smile on his lips vanished the mont he turned, replaced by a cold, indifferent expression.
He glanced at Eleanor Bishop standing in the doorway, his handso brows knitting in displeasure. He strode over, grabbed her by the arm without a word, and pulled her out of the room.
They walked for a while. Once she was sure his n could no longer see them, Eleanor Bishop’s face crumpled in distress and she began to struggle. "Archie, let go."
"Eleanor Bishop, what do you think you’re doing here? How many tis have I told you to behave yourself during your pregnancy? Did my words just go in one ear and out the other?"
"I didn’t, Archie. I just ca to see Mika today."
Archie Sumrs sneered, flinging Eleanor Bishop’s hand off him. He questioned her sharply, "See Mika? Let ask you, I never told my parents that Mika was in the hospital. So how did you know?"
"I... I, Archie, I..." Eleanor Bishop looked around guiltily, unsure how to answer.
Seeing her like this, Archie Sumrs gave another derisive laugh. "I can let it slide that you had followed. Now, get out of my sight and go ho."
Her eyes red with hurt, she grabbed tightly onto Archie Sumrs’s arm and explained frantically, "Archie, you haven’t been ho in days. I was worried about you! That’s the only reason I had soone follow you. I swear I didn’t an anything else by it."
"Worried about ? Right. You certainly should be worried. If I found another woman, your position as Mrs. Sumrs wouldn’t be so secure, now would it?"
Eleanor Bishop looked at Archie Sumrs in a panic. "Archie, how could you think that of ...?"
Archie Sumrs once again pried her hands off him without a shred of rcy. "Eleanor Bishop, my tolerance has its limits. But you can relax. As long as you are carrying my child, I, Archie Sumrs, will not abandon you."
’As long as I’m carrying his child, he won’t abandon ... but what about after I give birth? Does he plan to abandon then?’
"Archie, I know I was wrong in the past. I’ll change, I will. But I love you. I really, truly love you. You can’t be this cruel to ."
"Don’t you dare talk to about love, Eleanor Bishop. Anyone in the world has the right to talk about love, but you? You’ve lost that right."
With red, resentful eyes, Eleanor Bishop said, "Archie, you weren’t like this to when we were abroad. Why did you change the second you ca back?"
"You’re asking why I treat you this way? Don’t you know the answer to that?" ’The two things he could never tolerate in his life were deceit and betrayal. And this woman had deceived and betrayed him multiple tis.’
’So why on earth should he treat her as well as he once did? Why on earth should he give her everything she wanted?’
"Archie Sumrs, do you have ulterior motives toward Mika Sumrs? Is she the reason you’re treating like this?" ’Before, she might have understood why, but not anymore. She didn’t understand at all. She felt like she couldn’t read Archie Sumrs anymore.’
"Eleanor Bishop, what the fuck are you talking about? Mika is my own sister! I won’t have you spouting such nonsense." Startled by her sudden accusation, Archie Sumrs imdiately snapped at her.
"Your own sister? You can use that line to fool outsiders, but don’t you dare try to fool with it."
