Chapter 172 Is He A Gay?

Chapter 172 Is He A Gay?
ALMA

For the past week, everything has seemed to be moving so fast. Luis has been buried, and Zane decided to take his mother back to the country where he had been living. Since the day I saw Victoria at Sebastian's house, the day she found out about our relationship, I haven't set my eyes on her again.

She didn't even attend Luis's burial.

Lady Flores has decided to sell the Flores Estate. When I tried to convince her not to because that place held almost thirty-five years of her memories, she said all it had ever brought her was sorrow. She mentioned she had never had a single good memory there.

I respected her decision and let her sell it.

Anyway, Uncle William bought it from her, saying it was his grandfather's house and that he would rather rename it William Estate. He bought it under his son's name.

My father is also getting better. He usually goes out with Sebastian. Only heaven knows where. And whenever I ask, they always say, "Men's secret."

I can't believe those two actually get along now. What's even more baffling is that they're keeping secrets from me. No matter how hard I try to seduce Sebastian into telling me, he always distracts me with another lingering touch, making me forget my question.

Damn it.

I can't believe he can still make my body betray me despite us being together again and again.

Suddenly, the door clicked open, making me snap my gaze toward it.

The male nurse and Elijah came out of his room, laughing so hard. They seemed to have become quite close, and they had been in there for almost two hours.

Only heaven knows what they were talking about.

“Nina, darling, let me have some of your snacks,” Elijah said, reaching for the snack Anna had sent over that morning.

I instantly covered it with both hands.

“So stingy,” he complained before sitting beside the male nurse.

Anna had asked Sebastian to let her continue preparing our meals. She said she had gotten used to us already and didn't want to work for anyone else.

Sebastian asked whether I was okay with it.

Of course I was.

I liked her a lot. She is honest and also an excellent cook.

“So, when did you find out?” Elijah asked the male nurse.

The male nurse let out a quiet chuckle and began signing.

Elijah slowly ran his tongue over his lips before smiling.

My skin crawled as my brows twisted in disgust.

What the hell was he doing, acting all seductive toward another man?

“It’s okay. I understand. But it was also my first time,” Elijah said.

The male nurse chuckled and nodded.

My entire body stiffened.

First time?

What exactly were these two men talking about?

First time... as in sleeping with someone?

“But did you feel any pain? Because, damn, I’m still in pain, and it even hurts to sit,” Elijah groaned, stretching his arms across the backrest.

My entire body froze.

Pain?

What on earth were these two talking about?

And Elijah knew sign language too.

It seemed I was the only one who didn't.

Even my father understood a little.

If only I knew sign language, I'd know exactly what these two were discussing.

“Today is the best day of my life. Damn, I've never felt this good before. It was painful, but I know it was worth it,” Elijah added.

The male nurse grinned.

Okay...

Maybe I'm overthinking this...

But doesn't this seem obvious?

Is Elijah gay?

Maybe they stayed in the room that long because they were being intimate.

The thought alone sent a chill through me, and I vibrated.

“What’s wrong, Nina? Why are you acting like that? Are you in any pain?” Elijah asked, immediately getting to his feet as though he wanted to come closer.

“Don't you dare come near me,” I snapped.

His brows knitted together in confusion as he exchanged a puzzled glance with the male nurse.

The male nurse quietly stood up and returned to his room.

“What’s wrong with you, Nina? Why are you being so harsh to me? It always hurts my feelings when you do that,” Elijah said dramatically, placing a hand over his chest.

I shook my head in disappointment.

The male nurse, as clueless as he could sometimes be, was still handsome and always dressed well. You couldn't even tell he couldn't speak unless you tried talking to him.

And Elijah was handsome too.

So why would these two like another man?

Didn't they want children of their own?

Or were they planning to adopt?

Just then, the door opened again.

The male nurse walked out carrying his notebook and a pen.

I watched him write something.

My eyes followed every movement, wondering what he was writing.

Was he about to confess that he liked my cousin?

A chill ran down my spine.

He handed me the notebook.

I hesitated before taking it and read it.

"Are you feeling any pain? I'm good at giving massages too."

My heart dropped.

I immediately tossed the notebook back to him.

Absolutely not.

Even if I were in pain, why would he be the one to massage me?

That sounded incredibly creepy.

Elijah looked at me in confusion before bending down to pick up the notebook.

He read it...

Then burst into laughter.

Turning to the male nurse, “Don't let Sebastian see this. He'll kill you if he finds out you offered to massage his wife. He's kind, but he's dangerous when he's jealous.”

The male nurse awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.

“Come on. Let's go to my house. Aren't you bored staying here? Even though you're getting paid to look after my uncle, it's Saturday, and they probably won't be back until late. Let's try something new at my place. I live alone,” Elijah said cheerfully, wrapping an arm around the male nurse's shoulder.

The male nurse hesitated before turning to him and signing something else.

Elijah sighed.

“Nina is a grown woman. She can stay here alone... can't you?” he asked, blinking repeatedly as though trying to convince me to agree.

What a shameless cousin.

He was still complaining about being in pain, yet he already wanted to continue whatever they had been doing at his house.

What a life of a gay!

If that's what he wanted, it wasn't like I couldn't stay alone in this big house.

Besides, Sebastian and my father would definitely be coming home today even though it's not anytime soon.

“Fine. You can both go,” I said, my voice dripping with obvious disgust.

Instantly, Elijah threw his hands into the air.

“Yes!”

Then he happily left with the male nurse.

Goodness...He's so desperate.
