CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 794

“I just want him to be safe. He’s already suffered too much because of me. I don’t want him to go through any more pain. If he has to hate me, then so be it.”

What she didn’t realize was that the words she spoke today would set Elliot on a path of no return.

Suzy knew that Diana was struggling with his departure as well.

She had long noticed the feelings Diana had for Elliot, even if no one else did.

So, after asking Allen to take Dylan back to his room, she stayed behind to be with Diana.

Dylan caught on that she had something to say to his sister and didn’t question it.

Without a word, he let Allen wheel him away, leaving the two women alone.

Once they were gone, Suzy gently pulled Diana down onto the couch beside her and instinctively reached for her wrist, checking her pulse.

It was steady, normal.

But…

She looked at Diana’s pale, dejected face and spoke softly. “I know you’re worried about Elliot. Don’t be. I’ll make sure someone watches over him from the shadows.”

Diana pressed her lips together, hesitation flickering in her eyes. “Sis… will he really be safe without you?”

“He should be.”

Suzy wasn’t entirely sure herself.

“I’ve already made it clear to the world that I’ve severed ties with him. If those after me believe it, they might shift their focus away from him…”

Diana’s fingers curled into her lap.

“That’s only if they believe it. If they don’t…”

She exhaled shakily. “Elliot is… sensitive. He’s always been that way. The things you said tonight must have hurt him deeply. I’m scared he’ll do something reckless.”

Suzy was scared too.

"No way, Suzy! It’s not like that! I just don’t feel right leaving him alone out there. He’s your apprentice, so of course, you’re worried about him.

“If something happened to him, you’d be devastated. I just want to check on him for you!"

Suzy chuckled. "Silly girl, if you love him, just say it. There’s no need to hide it from me."

Hearing that, Diana sighed and finally admitted, "Fine, I do like him! I don’t even know how it happened.

“From the very start, he’s never been nice to me, yet I just couldn’t help falling for him."

Suzy nodded. "He’s a good guy—just way too stubborn about certain things. Maybe after this, he’ll finally change."

She always hoped Diana and Elliot would end up together, especially after the unexpected turn of events between them. But…

Suzy cautioned her, "He’s still upset. He might lash out and hurt you without meaning to. Maybe give it a little time."

But Diana shook her head. "I’m not afraid. He’s probably drowning in his own thoughts right now, overanalyzing everything. If I’m there, maybe I can pull him out of it."
