She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 949: Settling for Someone You Don’t Love

Elias Hawthorne was only lost in thought for a few seconds before he urgently regained control of Raina North, whispering angrily, "Raina, are you crazy?"

Raina leaned in again, catching up to give Elias a kiss, discontentedly saying, "You’re the one who’s crazy. At this critical juncture, you still manage to push me away. How am I supposed to praise you for that? Bravo, or a true man?"

Elias smiled helplessly, "Raina, don’t speak nonsense." He paused for a moment, "I’m just afraid of hurting you."

"Hiss..." Suddenly, Raina clutched her chest. Her pale face was twisted with pain as her slender body trembled uncontrollably.

Elias’s expression changed drastically, speaking hastily, "Raina, what’s wrong? Is it the Insect Venom acting up again? Let go, and I’ll take you to find Venerable Elder Rivers right away!"

Seeing Elias’s hurried appearance, Raina immediately held onto him, "No need to find Venerable Elder Rivers, it’s useless."

Elias furrowed his brows, "Raina, don’t be stubborn."

"Stubborn? I’m not being stubborn." Raina hugged him again, nestling her whole self into Elias’s embrace, "My heart aches because you pushed me away. So, do you understand? Don’t push me away again."

Hearing this, Elias felt utterly helpless. If he could, how could he ever bear to push Raina away?

This little goddess was his lifeline.

But, there’s no choice, right now his touch is like a knife stabbing into her body.

"Raina, be good."

"I won’t." Raina lifted her eyes, her gaze charming, hooking him like a hook, her breath fragrant as orchids: "What can you do about me?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In an instant, Elias’s eyes darkened, his Adam’s apple rolled uncomfortably, revealing his torment, wishing he could swallow Raina whole.

Yet, he could only restrain himself, forcing the rampant desires within to surge wildly.

Crash——

At this moment, the sound of porcelain shattering rang out.

The broken cup pierced his palm, bright red blood flowed out, bringing sharp pain, yet Corvus Hades felt nothing. He looked at Raina and Elias with a blank expression, and said coldly, "You two should stop."

Raina, startled by the noise, turned to look, seemingly a bit surprised: "Emperor Hades? Why are you still here? Is The Celestial Alliance’s tea that good? Should I get you another cup of fresh tea?"

Corvus rose to his feet in anger, his voice thundering, "Orion Rivers, have you really decided to throw away your life?"

"How could I? I’ve fought to this position, how could I not want to live? I really want to live well."

Corvus gritted his teeth, "Since you want to live well, why do you provoke me?"

"Provoke you? No, Emperor Hades, you truly misunderstand. I’m merely unable to control my genuine feelings." Raina said, "If I have to settle for someone I don’t love for the rest of my life, then I’d rather gamble with my life!"

Corvus slammed the table in anger, pointing at Raina, his teeth clenched, "You’re something! Orion Rivers, you really are something!"

With that, he swept his sleeves and left hurriedly.

Watching Corvus leave in anger, Raina couldn’t help but sigh quietly, her expression somewhat desolate.

Elias looked at Raina, saying, "What you said just now hurt him."

"I know, but long pain is worse than short pain. I’m not his happiness; his attention should shift away from me."

What’s more, Corvus’s feelings for her were less of an unshakeable love and more of a habitual possessiveness.

Although her experiences and Corvus’s were different, they shared a certain similarity; both lost parents who cherished them.

The difference is, his parents died due to vengeance, whereas her parents disappeared the day her true identity was revealed.

It’s hard to say who suffered more, but these experiences made her often exhibit a similar aura to Corvus.

But love is not like that.

Love is beautiful, it shouldn’t be about two people huddled together for warmth, but about making two people better.
