Chapter 95: Invitation
"Take two days to think it over. I hope you won’t turn me down." Eric chuckled softly as he walked to the side and turned on the speaker, letting gentle music flow through the room.
He came over and picked up Ella, carrying her to the large floor-to-ceiling window. Together, they looked out at the ocean, now tinged red by the morning sun.
"Watch the sea with me," Eric said with a smile, gently kissing Ella’s stunned face.
Ella was completely dumbfounded. She couldn’t understand why Eric was in such a rush to marry her. Was there some hidden agenda?
She had to admit, she loved Eric too, but her past wounds made it hard for her to trust men easily.
Eric gently intertwined his fingers with hers. Ella leaned against his shoulder, watching the shimmering sea, the soaring seagulls, listening to the beautiful music, and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks outside the window...
Everything was perfect.
At noon, Eric finally took Ella to leave. Avery and others were waiting on the second floor. After Ella and Eric had gone up to the fourth floor, Avery had inquired with some of the staff.
Eventually, she learned from her informant that it was Eric, not William, who had been with Ella last night!
At the crucial moment, Eric had intervened, staying with Ella in the room all night!
Now, seeing them leave together, Avery was so angry she could hardly breathe.
