Chapter 220: The Vigilant Man
Ella tried a piece of the steamed chicken and immediately found it to be incredibly delicious—far better than anything she’d ever had at school. As soon as she bit into it, a subtle sweetness spread through her mouth, leaving her savoring the taste.
"The flavor is excellent," Ella said with a soft smile, offering her praise.
Eric finally felt a bit more at ease. Seeing Ella’s earlier sadness, he knew she had been thinking about Isabella.
For those who have lost their parents, the love from them is something they will yearn for their entire lives—a permanent regret that even the greatest wealth and glory cannot replace.
"Yes, Mr. Nelson hired a fantastic chef. That’s why the treehouses have been fully booked for months. We’ve never had an empty one! Not only do we have repeat customers, but new guests as well. Reservations are already booked through the winter!" The person in charge beamed with pride and admiration as he glanced at Eric.
Every project Eric handled was a success.
Just like the new ice palace project, which was scheduled to open next year. Word had already spread among celebrities, many of whom had expressed their desire to visit. With such interest, the project was bound to succeed. Eric had that kind of magic—though his methods could be ruthless, people still admired him.
Not to mention, he had the looks to match his talent.
Ella smiled at Eric. "Mr. Nelson, was this project your idea?"
Eric raised an eyebrow casually. "Does it matter whose idea it was? You’re enjoying it, aren’t you?"
Secretly, Ella was in awe. Her husband was truly remarkable—every project he took on turned into a major success. All the hardship he had endured in his youth had clearly paid off.
