While waiting for Raymon to plot to sleep with Ella, Maria executes the next plan. She didn't want Ella to live in peace even for a minute.
After her conversation with Raymon, Maria texted Ella. "I'd like to meet you, stay at the women's locker room."
Ella read the message and went to the girls' changing room. When she got there, she saw Maria leaning against one of the drawers.
Maria spoke first. "At the party that day, David didn't tell me you were coming too. I apologize for making you feel awkward." Her eyes were filled with a sincere apology.
Ella didn't want to bring up the matter so she shook her head.
"Because of me, your relationship with David has deteriorated, I feel guilty. I have made a reservation at the bamboo house in X town, you two should go there and enjoy the happy moments."
"Why?" Ella looked suspiciously at the beautiful girl in front of her.
"I want to help you. Please, accept it, or else I'll feel bad."
"But..."
"OK. Make a quick decision, next Saturday night."
"Saturday? I have another appointment."
Next Saturday is Raymon's birthday.
"Are friends important or David important? He's been quite busy lately, so go with him, let him clear his mind."
"But my appointment next Saturday is so important, I can't help but go."
"What time do you have an appointment?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"So, you go meet David and then go to the rendezvous, okay?"
Maria advised her once more, Ella thought for a moment and then agreed.
"Now text David and say he's going to hang out in town X next Saturday. I think he'll be happy." Maria asked her.
Ella took her phone from her pocket and texted David. In less than thirty seconds, he replied. "Okay, I'll go."
Maria smiled wickedly, her eyes full of tricks.
Saturday, David drove Ella to the bamboo house in town X.
As soon as he entered the house, David hugged Ella in his arms, hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to bring her into his body. She was a little confused, her mind dizzy. "What happened?"
"I want you." He let out a hoarse, trembling voice.
Ella for a moment her whole body was soft, her whole body was like a melted chocolate bar, her limbs were weak and weak, only a feeling of paralysis little by little. She stayed silent, hugging him tightly.
The two of them held each other for so long, that he couldn't bear to let her go until Ella gasped. "I... I'm having a hard time breathing."
But when David let go of her, she was so nostalgic, longing for his embrace and his breath, she blushed and mumbled. "It's fine if you hug me gently, you can hug........."
David smiles, he loves her, loves her very much. He stroked her hair. "We have a whole night left, no need to rush."
Wait. Raymon's Birthday! She promised to be with him on his birthday, she couldn't break her promise.
Ella said quickly, "I have an important appointment in the evening, and I have to go at eight o'clock."
David's brow furrowed slightly for a moment. "How was the date, more important than me?"
The atmosphere at that moment dropped.
Ella is not good at lying so she has to tell the truth, she stammered. "Today, it's Raymon's birthday..."
As expected, David's face turned even colder. Like the weather outside, it's pitch black. "So you want to leave me and go find him?"
"Not to give up, I promised him to celebrate his birthday with him."
"What do you want? Enlist both sides? You think I'll agree to let you meet me and then go find him?"
"Today is his birthday, I agreed."
"I disagree."
"But, I can't miss an appointment."
"So you chose him, is he more important than me?"
"This is not a matter of choice."
"I don't care what the problem is, you can't go anyway."
Seeing that David was determined not to let her go, Ella was impatient. With his temperament, how could he let her go?
So she changed tack, she grabbed his arm and shook it back and forth.
"Birthday only comes once a year, I already agreed with him, can't break a promise." She begged.
David didn't answer, his face was cold.
"You are a generous person, let me go, okay? We still have a lot of time together."
David jerked his arm away from hers. "I am not a generous person. You are my woman, I do not allow you to meet another man."
Ella got angry, stamping one foot. "You are absurd."
David was also angry. "Am I unreasonable? Ella, now the one who wants to throw me away to meet another man is you."
"Today is his birthday." Ella tries to convince him.
"I don't care about his birthday, I don't want you to go."
"You also went to see Maria once, I never blamed you."
"Because Maria fell down the stairs, moreover she is my childhood friend."
"Raymon is also my friend."
"You've only known Raymon for a few months and you call him friends." David couldn't help being rude. "He's a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Ella is angry. Talking to him means self-harm. She stopped talking to him and walked towards the door. She just opened the door, he closed it. He shouted. "What do you want to do?"
"I want to go out."
"No."
"On what basis do you not let me go?" Ella punched his chest with her hand.
David reached out, grabbing her wrist with such precision that she couldn't move.
"Silent."
"Why are you shouting at me? What right do you have to order me? David, I am not your product, much less your sex slave. I also have my free life." Ella's eyes started to turn red.
Her words were like a needle in David's heart, heartbreaking and embarrassing. He forgot his anger, he let go of her hand and held her in his arms. He used very little force, just enough that she couldn't get out. "Sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have treated you like that."
Mrs. Emma is right, he is a selfish man, always demanding of her, and he cannot fight, at least fight to protect his love.
Ella always tolerated him, but he could not tolerate her. He is always jealous of little things, he wants to completely hold her in his arms, leaving her only in his eyes, so much so that he doesn't care about her feelings.
"Don't cry, okay? I will be heartbroken."
