Million Dollar Bride

Chapter 38: Birthday 2

Ch. 38 / 164 Sep 17, 2024

So, after having breakfast, they went to the supermarket together to buy some ingredients to cook for the party. Back home, he asks her to stay in her room or go for a walk somewhere, and he will decorate the living room with balloons and roses.

While waiting for him to finish the party, Ella sat listening to music in her room and fell asleep without knowing it. She only woke up when he planted a kiss on her right cheek.

"Everything is done. You change and come out, I'll wait." David said and walked out of the room.

Ella changed into a pink lace dress, her hair hanging down her back. In her like a princess. When she stepped out of the living room, she was surprised to see everything shimmering and blurry. The room light was off. The candles are lit. On the table, besides the food, there was a bottle of wine and two glasses. A medium-sized cake is placed in the center of the table. There are a few candles on the cake. The radio is next to it, playing a melodious song.

David asks her to blow out the candles and doesn't forget to make a wish. She blew out the candles and clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and prayed.

He looked at her with a face filled with love, he wished that all her wishes would come true.

After she finished making her wish, David asked her to cut the cake. She uses a knife to cut the birthday cake. "Didn't you ask me what I wish for?"

"Of course, you wish... our love... to be together forever, right?" David smirked.

"It is said that if other people know your wish, it will not come true."

"I do not think so. As long as we are together, wishes will come true." David stroked her hair and wished her happy birthday again.

Meanwhile, at the D&A company of Anthony Group.

Maria was angry when she learned that David did not come to the company. She tried to call him on the phone but couldn't. She guessed he was with Ella but she didn't know where they were. That secret house no one knows.

'If it weren't for Ella, he'd be mine. She must think she's a princess?' Maria squeezed her hand.

Key pushed the door in. He has a habit of organizing everything in his boss's office.

Maria from her study went to David's office and asked Key. "Why doesn't David go to work?"

"I do not know." Key turned around and said. Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell.

"You're his assistant, why don't you know?" She spoke to Key in a loud voice.

"He just called to say he wasn't coming to the office and canceled all appointments for today. But he did not specify the reason why he quit. I'm an assistant, not a nanny. Nor does he have a duty to report daily where he is going, what he is doing."

Maria knew that there was no point in asking this man. She understands David well, things related to privacy, he never reveals to anyone, even if it is Key - who always follows him 24/24.

The weather is wonderful today with cool breezes and fragrances from the flower garden outside the window.

Ella wore a dark blue blazer paired with casual jeans. Her medium-length hair was left loose.

David lay on his bed, watching his woman. He enjoys his current life. He thinks that when the time is right, he will tell his mother the whole thing and hope Mrs. Emma can ignore it. If she won't let it go, he and Ella will live here. Right now, he dreams of children again, now he has her, and in the future, he has her and their children. He feels he is the happiest person in the world.

David stepped out of bed, wrapping his arms around Ella from behind.

She was a little startled, hearing his warm breath evenly in her ear, she turned her face back to kiss his right cheek, smiling brightly.

Her smile was sincere and warm like a spring breeze, her gentle gesture just now immediately attracted him. He nodded, resting his chin on her shoulder, softly. "I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

"Me too." Ella basked in happiness. Suddenly, she said. "You called Key to ask about the company's situation?"

"No need to call. I trust him. He is a good assistant who is serious about his work." He inhaled the soothing lavender scent of her hair, burying his head in her neck, and scattering small kisses.

"You have to leave work because of my birthday, I feel guilty," Ella spoke slowly.

"It is worth it. Don't talk about work, I just want to kiss you." David bent down to find her lips when Ella felt her stomach hurt a little. She put her hand on her stomach and curled up. Her forehead started to sweat as she tried to hold back the pain.

"Ella, what's wrong?" David asked worriedly seeing her strange behavior.

"I'm hurt." She sobbed.

"Where do you hurt?" David panicked when he saw Ella's pale face.

She was speechless because of the pain.

"I'll take you to the hospital." He was about to pick her up when she stopped him immediately.

"No. Going to the hospital also took almost an hour, I..." Ella found it difficult to speak. She asks him to bring her a hot water bottle.

He understood the problem, immediately went to the dining room, poured hot water into a jug, and brought it to her bedroom.

Ella placed the hot water bottle on her lower abdomen and rolled it over. After a while, she felt better.

Ignoring David, who was standing beside her because she didn't know what to do next, she climbed onto the bed and lay down. After a while, she fell asleep. The hot water bottle was still on her stomach.

David went to the dining room and got a new water heater. He went back to their room, placing the jar on Ella's stomach.

He sat on the edge of the bed, doing it for two hours.

Whenever her period came, Ella often had abdominal pain. This is the most effective way to relieve pain that her mother has ever taught.

David also saw Mrs. Emma do this every time Rika had a stomach ache.

At midnight, he just climbed into bed and hugged Ella to sleep.

The next morning, Ella woke up to find beside her a handsome face. His embrace was so tight it took her breath away. She stirred slightly, eventually waking David again. He caressed her face and smiled at her.

"Last night you had a stomach ache that scared the hell out of me."

"I still get this often but applying hot water to my stomach will be fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Stupid. Why do you sorry me? I am very happy to take care of you." David bit her lip lightly.

"I understand but you hug me so tight that I suffocate."

"Then let me give you CPR." As soon as he said that, he lowered his head and kissed Ella passionately. He kissed passionately, wrapping his tongue around her, teasing hers, Ella as docile as a kitten hugging his neck, responding to his kiss.
