Chapter 70: Shirking of Responsibility
"If I could, I’d be your servant for life!"
"Flatterer!"
The room was filled with laughter. Outside, Mrs. Lee could hear Ella’s voice and smiled, shaking her head. Her young mistress was truly charming—Ella not only paid her a generous salary of one million but also caught herself a wealthy suitor.
Around noon, Ella was discharged from the hospital under the protection of Eric and his team. Despite the media camping outside the hospital for two days, none managed to get close. Eric’s presence led people to speculate that his new girlfriend might be Ella.
Back home, it was just in time for lunch. Hannah’s heart raced upon seeing the handsome man in the living room, but her joy quickly turned to despair when she saw his gaze fixed on Ella.
"Mr. Nelson, Ella, let’s have lunch and chat," Brianna said cheerfully. Kevin was absent, but her demeanor was as if nothing had happened.
"Let’s eat first," Ella said, putting down her phone and pulling Eric towards the dining room.
Everyone sat down, and Hannah couldn’t help but steal glances at Eric. Unfortunately for her, Eric only had eyes for Ella.
The meal was somewhat strained. Despite Robert’s attempts to lighten the mood, Ella remained aloof, and Eric was stern-faced.
As the meal drew to a close, Eric leaned in and kissed Ella on the cheek. "Take care. Mr. Davis, if I find anything wrong with my girlfriend, you’ll have to provide a good explanation."
Ella smiled slightly, and Robert forced a smile, nodding in agreement.
