Episode 141

Albin’s question hung heavily between them, a silent plea for truth in Elijah’s next words.

Elijah fixed his penetrating stare on Albin, his eyes drilling into him as though attempting to unravel his very thoughts.
That intense gaze somehow evoked the question Elizabeth had asked over the phone earlier.
Under the weight of Elijah’s gaze, Albin’s skin broke out in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, Elijah diverted his eyes, his expression etched with contempt. “With all that spare time, perhaps it’s time to consider getting a job,” he suggested, his voice resonating with a deep, dismissive tone as he walked away.

He continued, “We’re tied together in marriage, and that is the undeniable reality: Does love carry any real significance? I provide her with the best in life. Surely, that’s more substantial than fleeting feelings?”
Elijah’s willingness to prolong the conversation prompted Albin to quicken his pace and catch up.
Analyzing the situation, Albin countered, “In terms of material wealth, you’ve ensured Sandra has had the best possible life. Over the years, her every wish has been fulfilled without fail. Yet, this extravagance mirrors the affection one might show a sister.

On the other hand, your interactions with Elizabeth are charged with emotion. Your fiery temper exposes the bond between you. Maybe you don’t love her, but she stirs something in you—she stands apart from other women in your life.”
