Chapter 59 Fury
Eleanor rolled her eyes and casually grabbed the stool by the bedside, holding it in her hand. She sneered, “Chris, if you want to relive the feeling of being hit by a stool, I can certainly oblige.
“That way, you can remember exactly what I said when we broke up.”
Chris took a few steps back, eyeing Eleanor warily. “Don’t do anything rash,” he warned. Eleanor’s lips curled into a smile as she stepped forward, still holding the stool. “Why are you dodging? Setting aside everything else, I’m Tyler’s wife now. You’re still pining for me? Is that appropriate?
“If I don’t make my stance clear, my husband might get suspicious. That would be bad.”
“You’re insane,” Chris muttered, grabbing Serena’s hand and rushing out of the room.
Tyler stepped forward and took the stool from Eleanor’s hand. “If you get injured, I’d have to take care of you. Not worth it,” he remarked dryly.
When Linda heard Eleanor’s lines, she felt a pang in her heart, and her eyes turned red. Eleanor, you were really upset back then, weren’t you?” she asked softly.
Tyler, my daughter has been hurt once. She can’t handle any more drama,” Linda continued, her voice tinged with concern.
“Mrs. Donovan, I understand,” Tyler replied, his tone gentle. “I’ll take good care of her.
“Mrs. Donovan, men are unreliable, except for me,” Angust interjected, leaning in. “If Eleanor ever gets a divorce, I’ll marry her.”
“You ran away from your own engagement. What gives you the right to say that?” Tyler retorted coldly.
Angust blinked innocently. “Ran away? Who said I ran away?”
Tyler scoffed. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room grew tense and awkward.
Linda cleared her throat. “I’d like to rest now. Eleanor can stay with me. Both of your can discuss whatever you need outside.”
Tyler moved to Eleanor’s side and wrapped his arm around her waist “Mrs. Donovan, there’s nothing for us to talk about. Eleanor and I will stay with you. You should leave now,” he said firmly.
Angust bristled. “Why should I listen to you? Tyler, how about we make a bet?”
“I don’t gamble,” Tyler replied flat

Angust huffed in frustration. “Eleanor, you.
Eleanor looked at Tyler, whose face was still pale with anger, and gently squeezed his hand. “Angust, I like you too because you’re my friend.”

Angust’s shoulders drooped in disappointment. “Eleanor, you were just acting on
impulse. You don’t really like Tyler. You should stay away from the Langford family,” he insisted quietly.
Linda coughed again, drawing their attention.
“We’ve been making a fuss for long enough. Let’s let Mom rest,” Eleanor said, guiding Tyler toward the door.
On the way to the garage, Tyler was clearly upset, his face set in a cold, unyielding. expression. He didn’t say a word.
Eleanor glanced at him, thinking, ‘When I first proposed marrying Tyler, he did ask if I was sure. I was determined to go through with it.
“Now, even though things haven’t gone as I planned, it’s easy to see why there might be misunderstandings. That script, even I’m starting to wonder if it’s really my story!
“Tyler, there’s nothing between Chris and me anymore,” Eleanor said softly. “Don’t get the wrong idea.
“I’m not getting the wrong idea,” Tyler replied, his voice still cold.
“Then smile for me. Otherwise, I’ll think you’re angry,” Eleanor insisted.
“I’m just not a naturally cheerful person,” Tyler said flatly.
Eleanor sighed, realizing that Tyler was indeed upset.
She pursed her lips, then reached up and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. “There. I’m sorry. Are you satisfied now? That was my first kiss, you know.”
Tyler froze in his tracks, stunned. Slowly, he came back to his senses, his lips twitching into a smile as the tension on his face melted away! “First time?” he asked, his voice softening.
“Yeah, when I was with Chris, nothing happened,” Eleanor said.
“Not enough,” Tyler replied.
“Not enough of what?” Eleanor asked, puzzled.
Soon, Eleanor realized what Tyler meant.
With one hand around her waist and the other gently holding the back of her head, Tyler said, “Remember. This is the proper way to apologize.”
Eleanor watched helplessly as Tyler’s lips met hers. Caught off guard, their mouths intertwined. Just as she felt like she was about to suffocate, Tyler released her, his fingers lightly caressing her lips.
‘So this is what kissing feels like. It seems I don’t really hate this kind of close contact, but she thought, then said, “Tyler, you should shave. It was a bit prickly just now.”
“Is that sp?” Tyler replied. “You’re ruining the mood by saying that right now.”
“I’m just being honest. If it’s always like this in the future” Eleanor stopped herself,

realizing her words might not be appropriate.
Eleanor looked up, meeting Tyler’s teasing gaze. “I’m not wrong, am I? I did marry you, didn’t I? You never said we’d just be pure roommates for life.”
“Yes,” Tyler responded, walking forward.
“Wait for me,” Eleanor called, catching up. “Tyler, are you not angry anymore?
“Sort of,” Tyler said. “From now on, don’t hang out with Angust. I don’t like him.“”
Eleanor stopped in her tracks. “We’re just ordinary friends.”
Tyler sneered. “But he likes you.”
“He’s just a kid, confused between liking and loving,” Eleanor explained. “Tyler, why do you have such a strong aversion to Angust? You’re not this wary of Chris.”
“Although we haven’t had the wedding yet, we are already legally married,” Tyler said. ” Chris can’t cause any trouble. I’m not sure about Angust.”
It was true. Chris’s antics had already pushed Eleanor away, but Angust was a
different story.
“You’re misunderstanding him,” Eleanor said. “He understands. I just see him as a
friend.”
Jyler shook his head. “He doesn’t see you as just a friend. Eleanor, don’t meet him
privately anymore.”
“Tyler, Eleanor said, a hint of anger in her voice. “Are you restricting my freedom? Can’t there be pure friendship between a man and a woman?”
Tyler gazed at Eleanor. “No.”
Eleanor sighed, exasperated, and rolled her eyes.
Suddenly, she realized something. “Tyler, are you jealous?”
“Yes.” Tyler nodded.
Eleanor sighed again, at a loss for words.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was Vera. “Eleanor, get online. You’re famous now.”
Eleanor clicked on the link Vera sent, which led to the video of her and Serena
performing the breakup scene.
