Chapter 128: Arrogance
Eric said with a smile as radiant as a blooming flower. "Alright, I’ll pick you up tonight. See you at our new place!"
Only then did Eric leisurely leave.
Ella lay back on the bed, her heart racing wildly. That guy couldn’t even handle being apart from her for just one night?
This must be what people call a crazy, passionate love, right?
Ella lay on the bed, happiness surrounding her, yet her heart still felt uneasy.
Sometimes, amidst her happiness, she would wonder about the future. What would Eric think of her when she grew old, when her figure changed...
Ella recalled the middle-aged women she’d seen on the street and shivered. Better not to think about it. She got up and dawdled for nearly an hour, washing her face, brushing her teeth, and changing clothes. Looking in the mirror at her radiant face and fresh, tender lips, she felt her cheeks heat up.
Even without a good night’s sleep, her skin remained smooth and tender. Perhaps this was the power of love?
Ella left her room, instructing the maid to clean the sheets. When she arrived at the dining room, she found Eric lounging lazily, with Brianna, Hannah, and Robert all waiting quietly for her.
"Ella, why are you up so late? Are you feeling unwell?" Robegirlrt asked with concern. After all, she was the girl Mr. Nelson favored. How could he not pay extra attention?
"No... I’m fine. I just had a nightmare... so I woke up late!" Feeling someone’s intense gaze, Ella stammered.
