Eli looked Yorris straight in the eye. "I want to help you forget your pain. But, if you still love her while you can't love me with all your heart because there are other people in your heart and mind, I'm ready to give in. Live with the person you love. You know, love can't be forced. I'm not afraid to help you with all the consequences of the hurt. With all that you've been through and the problems that exist, at least I hope you stay firm. Be a real man."
"You're pressing me too fast, Eli. I and her are only going to meet and this is the first time. It's not that I'm an asshole, it's that you're too scared. Don't be so strong and wise until you look like to be a victim. I'm trying. Let me flip your question, you doubt me?"
It was Eli's turn to suddenly turn pale. She couldn't answer Yorris' words. Realizing, Eli knew she was wrong. Talking to Yorris at that time was still not the right time. It's better if Eli relents.
As she thought, Eli looked down deeply. She felt guilty pressuring Yorris because was afraid of being dumped shortly.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be mature. Living with the fact that my family was destroyed by someone else who, unfortunately, became my surrogate parent doesn't make me apathetic. I'll think about you too, at least until I'm completely convinced."
After that, Yorris took a deep breath. Presumably, along with the sigh, the burden is slightly reduced.
"You want good for both of us. I want that too," Yorris concluded. His face had calmed down as usual.
Eli's head lowered. Yorris is more mature and charismatic. Eli will not be able to refute it and then embarrassed for fear of being dumped, she doubts her husband. Come to think of it, Eli can't be called a good wife yet.
Even when Eli looked around, Yorris was a good person.
"Sorry."
"Okay, please don't irritate me. I don't like demanding girls. Try to be my type."
"I understand."
"I'm leaving tomorrow night. Now I want to work."
After that Yorris went to his study. While the man was gone, Eli jacked up and made a move as if she was hitting Yorris in the back. That way Eli's anger can be channeled. Losing ends in anger and then blaming yourself, no!
Eli is not a soft-hearted woman like women in general. Elisabeth's personality is as tough as the life she leads.
"So pretentious, arrogant. He's neither an ambassador nor a spokesperson, but he acts like a lawyer. It sucks."
Eli's lips pursed like a duck. After all the things she'd been through, Eli thought about wanting to eat chocolate. Chocolate always manages to solve any problem, including anger. Eli's mood will improve after drinking hot chocolate.
"Where's the chocolate? I hope there's cocoa powder in this place."
Eli prefers to make his hot chocolate instead of instant powder. When there are none, Eli uses supermarket products.

In the kitchen, Eli meets her mother-in-law. It occurred to Eli that she wanted to talk about some important matters. Armed with writing skills, Eli was a little confident that he would not leak information that had a negative impact.
While acting the rest just have to find a loophole for Eli to take advantage of to enter.
"Good night, Mom."
"Oh dear, good night. What are you doing here?"
"I want to make hot chocolate."
"Why don't you ask the house assistant for help?"
Eli's hands crossed and moved. Indicates that there is no need to overdo it. While smiling uncomfortably, the woman corrected her mother-in-law's misunderstanding.
"It's okay Mom, as long as I can still do it, I will do it myself. My tastes are a bit complicated, it must be difficult to match. Even when I'm at home I'm used to making my hot chocolate. It's not a hassle, I can. will ask the house assistant for help. I guarantee the house assistant will not be unemployed, they will not eat blind salary."
Mrs. Juanita chuckled exasperatedly. Eli's innocent and timid demeanor was amusing. The woman seemed not to have the heart to even kill a mosquito. Her heart is too kind and straight.
"Honey, you are a good woman. I am grateful that you married Yorris. I hope you and Yorris will be together until death does your part. I do not regret accepting you into the Jordan family."
Eli's eyes narrowed. In her mind, Eli muttered to herself. "This old man is too kind. I'm not sure her warm demeanor is just a camouflage. Is it true that Mrs. Juanita wanting to live a luxurious and secure life could make her want to kill? Or perhaps Yorris misunderstood." While looking at Mrs. Juanita, Eli's forehead wrinkled. Several calls were heard, but Eli didn't realize it. Finally, Eli was tapped on the shoulder.
"What's wrong? You're daydreaming."
The brain was sluggish, but in the end, it can be overcome. No problem, it wasn't the worst in Eli's life. Confidence and strength of will are greater than any kind of bad situation including when stuck in a bad situation.
"Mom loves Yorris very much. May I know why Mom would accept me? After all, I have been rude to Mom."
There was a heavy sigh. Presumably, the sigh indicates someone is carrying a burden. Eli's eyebrow rose at the sight in front of her.
Mrs. Juanita looked down deeply.
"Make your hot chocolate first, Eli. After this, if you're not busy Mom wants to talk to you. Do you have time?"
Eli had to write, but it didn't matter. Problem writing can be arranged. After finishing talking, then write the novel chapter. Eli's writing speed is good. Then inspiration comes like flowing water. Eli never ran out of ideas.
"Wait a minute, Mom."
***
"So that's how it is. Can you help Mom convince Yorris?"
One thing is for sure, after learning about the scandalous family stories from both sides, Eli becomes confused and ends up undecided on which side to choose.
The story version is almost the same and has the appropriate meeting point. The problem is, Eli can't decide what to do and what not to do.
Eli is worried!
