Suddenly, Ella pushed him away as she remembered something. "Enough, we have to go to work today."
David regrets the incomplete kiss but wants to force her, and he can't continue taking time off work. There's still a lot of work to be done at the company. He reminds himself that he will arrange a reasonable time to work and be with Ella at the same time.
After changing clothes, he drove her to the company. They clasped hands, entering the lobby under the jealous eyes of the staff.
Maria saw David, she hurried over to him. See Ella as invisible, she told David. "I want to talk to you."
Ella got the point, she said. "I'm going to make coffee." And she walked over to the coffee shop.
Waiting for Ella to leave the hall, Maria asked David with a serious expression. "Why didn't you go to work yesterday?"
"That's my business. Do I need to report to you my plans and my life?" David had a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"No, but at least you have to answer my phone."
"Maria, I don't think we should interfere in each other's lives. I have my life and so do you. If you're kind, we'll still be friends like before." David turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned his head and continued. "I forgot to tell you, there is no other love between the two of us besides friendship or family love. Please understand me and behave properly." He continued toward his general manager's office.
'I don't give up so easily.' Maria gritted her teeth.
After work, David and Ella also went to the parking lot. He said as he walked. "We also go out to eat. Do you want French or Japanese food?"
Thinking for a moment, Ella's eyes lit up. "It's been a long time since I didn't go to Panda Night Street to eat breakfast if you don't make it dirty..."
"In the past, I used to be in such complicated places." After David said that, he got in the car and drove to Panda Street.
Night falls, neon lights twinkling, on the crowded streets, extremely bustling. Ella is like a flexible little cat, wriggling around in the crowd, looking for delicious food. "The frog soup over there is very famous, in my opinion, hurry up."
Her hand was suddenly caught by him, and he slipped her hand into his large one, making her cheeks feel hot.
"Don't get lost."
"Yes!" She followed him, the two of them looked very happy, there was no distinction of identity, and there was no need to worry too much.
Going from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, only took three hours, Ella sat under the tree, patting her full stomach, and shaking her head. "I can't eat anymore, I'm full."
"The duck meat hasn't finished yet." When she asked for food earlier, he thought she could eat more.
She is not responsible. "I don't eat, you eat."
David was also so full that he felt a little nauseous, put the duck meat on the plate, and rested with her.
The light stretched, making the silhouettes of the two of them overlap in the same place, leaning against each other tightly. They are very lonely, but they have each other and protect each other.
Suddenly, Ella was pulled straight into his chest by him, hugging him tightly. David kissed the top of her head, declaring that he wanted to let the world know.
"Ella, you are mine."
At that moment, David's phone rang, he didn't care, but Ella spoke. "Why didn't you pick up the call?"
He opened his phone to see who the caller was. Ella saw the name, Maria.
"Maybe she has something important to do?" Ella continued.
David thought for a moment, then took the call. "Wazzup?"
"Have you had dinner yet? I can invite you..."
Maria had not finished her sentence when he interrupted. "I ate. If it's okay, I'll hang up."
David hung up the call, but within a minute the phone rang again.
"I miss you." Maria's voice was very serious, serious, absolutely not joking.
In that short sentence, there was a strong emotion that made David feel heavy. His whole body was motionless, for a moment not knowing how to respond. He knows she has always loved him, but he cannot return her feelings.
Maria called back several times, but still no answer. She finally gave up, laughing at herself.
'Maria, my self-esteem is so great, why know that they live together, and even call him? Given that, he will pity, agree, choose me?'
The result made me even sadder.
How did he leave Ella to love her?
Perhaps love makes people's IQs drop. Before she was so confident, that she thought she would forever be the queen, one day David would fall for her, but now she's just a failure.
Once people fall in love, any stupid thing can be done.
Let yourself become so miserable, in the end, nothing will be gained, on the contrary, you will also lose your heart.
She's not committed to letting things go.
On the way back to the secret house, David reached out an arm, took it, and gave her a light kiss, making her face red. He told Mr. Harry that in recent days, he and Ella have been alone to cultivate feelings. Mr. Harry agrees but Mrs. Emma disagrees, but she can't advise David to stay at Anthony's mansion. Because David is very adamant. She thinks it will be difficult to separate her son and Ella.
Stopping the car, the two of them were walking into the house holding hands when David's phone rang, it was Jin's phone - Maria's housekeeper. Feeling that something was wrong, he gently let go of Ella's hand.
On the other end of the line, Jin said nervously. "David, Maria fell from the stairs. Can you come here? She kept calling your name in her trance."
David was a bit surprised, he couldn't be cold without asking, after all, he and Maria grew up in childhood. "How is she now?"
"The doctor is dressing her up, I don't know the specific situation."
"I'll be right there." David turned to leave because it was so urgent that he forgot there was a girl beside him. Ella quickly pulled his hand back. "What happened?"
"Maria fell from upstairs."
"You want to go."
"I'll call you back later."
Ella saw him off to the car, her eyes followed the direction of the car and disappeared, feeling a bit lost. But she doesn't allow her to be so selfish. Maria fell, he, of course, had to take care of her, hope she is okay.
