Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 1044

"Are you asking me out?" Dora asked excitedly. She couldn't believe that the situation was real. Subconsciously, she asked, "Are you really Eli?"

She recalled that Eli told her to stay away from him after she saved him from the thugs. He didn't even thank her. He would only ask her out when pigs started flying.

Eli couldn't understand how her mind worked. He only cared about his matter. "Are you going to wait for me or not?"

"Sure! I'll have my uncle buy you a cup of tea." Dora nodded excitedly.

When the two were about to part ways to go to their respective classrooms, Dora suddenly thought of something. She called out to Eli, "Why don't we exchange numbers so that we can contact each other?"

Now, many kids had phones, but Eli didn't have one.

After asking that, Dora remembered that Eli wasn't well-off. It was possible that he didn't have a phone. So, she said, "Forget it. Let's meet at the field after class in the afternoon."

Eli said, "Alright."

Dora hummed a tune and entered the classroom. Kiara saw that Dora was in a good mood. Dora looked completely different from yesterday when she had been despondent. Kiara approached Dora and asked, "Did Eli talk to you?"

Dora was astonished. "Did you see? Help me keep it a secret." Then, she made a gesture to ask Kiara to shush.

Kiara was shocked. "So, it's true."

Kiara had only taken a guess. Kiara had heard that Dora no longer had a crush on Eli and seen how she was down the entire day. Kiara didn't expect Dora to be different today. Kiara had just made a guess, yet it turned out to be true.

Dora pretended to be mysterious and nodded. Then, the two quickly sat in their seats and began talking in hushed tones.

…

Dora had finally endured until classes ended. Once the last class was over, she carried her backpack and rushed out of the class. She went to the field to meet up with Eli.

Eli was more on time than Dora had expected. Perhaps it was because he wanted to meet Gideon. But she didn't know why he wanted to meet Gideon.

Eli and Dora had great teamwork. They immediately separated and ran away. Joseph was caught off guard. Not only did he fail to hit Eli, but he also fell onto the ground.

"Fuck! Go after them! If I can't kill them today, I'll spell my name backward!" Joseph roared.

As it wasn't too long after classes ended, there weren't many people at the food street. The few gangsters ran after the two kids along the street.

Eli and Dora had great stamina. They ran quickly, but since they were outnumbered and Garret had brought over a few other men from the food street, they were surrounded.

When Eli was about to pull Dora to the side, he heard Garret roar, "Eli, did you forget that your mother is with us?"

Garret held his phone and played the video of his men meeting Amelia at noon. It just so happened that Amelia's scream sounded from the phone. Eli heard the familiar voice and stopped running. The moment he turned around, he was hit by a stick.

While running, Dora realized that Eli had disappeared. She turned around and saw that someone had knocked him out with a baseball bat.

"Eli!"
