A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Unlike most newlyweds, Luis and Elva had rarely seen each other in the past month, almost as if they were avoiding each other on purpose… If that was the case, why had they even got married? Elva had something to say to Luis, so she stayed up in her room.

Around eleven oclock that night, Luis finally returned, looking exhausted.

As soon as he opened the door, he was dazzled by the bright light, but then asked gently, Why are you still up? Its late.

Elva was watching a romance movie, which was quite popular years back.

At the sound of Luis voice, she turned towards the door.

It had been days since she and Luis last saw each other.

He was buried in his work, and she was busy with hers… Though they shared the same bed, they seldom saw each other.

Upon seeing him, she sat up and casually inquired, Have you eaten yet? Luis took off his coat and draped it over the sofas back.

Settling beside her, he said, I thought youd be asleep by now.

Elva blinked and asked further, Why are you home so late? After that, they kept silent for a long time. Luis embraced her and said, Theres been a lot of things going on at work lately, but once things settle down, we should spend more time together.

How about a nice vacation? Where would you like to visit? Elva noticed Luis looked really tired.

She understood Luis still loved her, but Holleys death had taken a toll on him, especially since it happened right before his eyes.

People naturally shielded themselves from pain.

She figured that every time Luis looked at her, he was reminded of the tragic moment Holley ended her life.

He carried a burden of guilt and blamed himself for the incident.

It had been quite some time, yet Luis couldnt move past it.

Meanwhile, she didnt want to press him too hard.

After thinking it over, Elva mentioned, Ive just landed a role in a film.noveldrama

Ill head abroad for the filming and itll keep me busy for the next six months.

In the soft lighting, he appeared somewhat troubled.

He fell silent for a bit, and then stood up and started unbuttoning his shirt, seemingly preparing for a shower.

Casually, he inquired, You hadnt mentioned this before.

Was it a sudden decision? Why didnt we talk about it before you made the decision, Elva? Hearing that, Elva retorted, I wanted to talk when I was offered the job, but you were always back late, spending your nights in the study.

By morning, you were already off to work when I woke up.

I hardly ever saw you around the house, let alone had a chance to discuss anything with you.

Finally, she expressed her pent-up feelings, saying, Youre grieving over Holleys death.

But have you ever thought about me? No matter how upset you are, life has to go on and you must let go of the past and look ahead.

Luis, although I am not exactly the clingy type, I still hope to have a life like other couples… Normal couples. Clearly, you cant provide that.

So, Ive decided to focus on my career.

Whats wrong with that? If you can stay away and dedicate yourself to work, why shouldnt I do the same? I didnt realize you had such a way with words, huh? There was no emotion in his tone when Luis spoke.

Yet, Elva could tell he was upset.

Quickly, Luis composed himself.

He looked at her and said, Its not that I dont support your passions… Elva interrupted him in a low voice, But when you married me, you werent expecting me to have such high aspirations, were you? You imagined a beautiful wife always there to greet you at home… Yet, Luis, all those times I was at home waiting, you just kept avoiding me! Hearing that, Luis understood what she meant.

She was determined to go, with or without his blessing! Despite their troubled past, he still cared for Elva and felt remorseful.

After a moments reflection, he said, If youre set on this, I wont hold you back.

Its only a few months… Ill come see you as soon as I wrap up my work here.
