Chapter 120: He is such a good princess
Esther’s smile stiffened, "I know of all your sacrifices and I thought this was your only chance to get together with Max. So, although there were risks involved, I still sent him there. I never expected things to turn out like this. Sis... From what you are saying, did Mr. King hurt you?"
Ella paused and then shook her head.
The light in Esther’s eyes dimmed, ’’Don’t worry, sis. With me around, nothing will happen to you. In the days to come, I will surely make it up to you!" She turned to the side, ’’Mommy is calling me for dinner. Bye, sis!"
When the call was disconnected, the confusion on Ella’s face gradually dispersed and it was replaced by stark coldness.
Such a deliberate show of family affection... In her previous life, she would have been touched that her sister was still thinking of her while being envious of the familial love that seemed to be out of her reach.
Esther knew where to cut so that it would hurt deeply. She just did not know that Ella was no longer as gullible to not see through her intent.
The chill of the night seemed to sink into her bones, making her shiver a little.
Not wanting to linger in the garden any further, Ella checked on Riri again. Seeing that he was sleeping in peace, she retreated to her room.
She had her plans set for the night. First, she would take a long and warm bath, do her skincare and then go to bed.
As she stepped into the bathtub, the warmth of the water relaxed her nerves. Ella squeezed a lot of body wash in her palm before she lathered it across her body.
Water gushed. Stream billowed. Somewhere behind the fogged up glass, a legend performed.
