Ella smacked her mouth, like a resentful, choking child. "You bully me."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have bullied you, I was wrong, forgive me, okay?"
The first time he softly begged her, and comforted her, Ella was both excited and worried. She was very touched, but her face was still restrained, not wanting to let him feel she was weak.
Like a small dog wagging its tail, her eyes filled with tears. "Then I can go, right?"
David was not happy in his heart, but he was still patient. He said to himself. 'Starting now, I have to learn to respect her.
Moreover, her puppy dog eyes were so pitiful that he couldn't resist, he couldn't bear to refuse. David wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his hand, sighed, and spoke softly. "I'll drive you there."
Ella cheered, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck, and forcefully kissing his right cheek.
"Still not enough."
She blushed. "So, what do you want?"
He tilted his head over, offering his left cheek. "This side too."
Ella sulked but still kissed his left cheek.
"It's seven forty-five, I'll take you out in twenty minutes, okay?"
"Yes!" Ella is a little nostalgic. "Time has passed quickly, forty minutes have passed. It's you who make excuses to cause trouble, now you can't talk much."
"Yes, I shouldn't have made a fuss. Forgive me, okay?"
"I feel you like that, I'm not used to it."
"Why?"
"Whatever I say, you don't object, very gentle."
"What happens? Don't you like me being gentle?" David purposely made a cold face, his brows furrowed tightly. "You like me like this?"
"No." Lightly stroke his eyebrows, she said. "I don't like you frowning, I don't like your cold look. I like you to smile more."
David was originally a cold man who never interacted with women. David married Ella only reluctantly, he never thought that his life would have any effect because of her.
But did not know when to start, she entered his heart bit by bit, bit by bit, he was angry, sad, and happy for her.
But she has a lot of cute little actions, obviously meaningless, very innocent, that can make him laugh. No matter how bad his mood is, it will disappear.
With her, he felt a joy he had never felt before. It slowly became a habit, so much so that he didn't want to lose it, he was so scared of losing her.
He doesn't know how to keep her by his side, forever. But there's one thing he understands very well, he can't lose her and is willing to give up everything for that.
"You smile, you look beautiful. From the first time I saw you smile, I felt it. Just your smile before, just stops on your face, not a real smile, I hope to see you happy."
"I am very happy now because you are here." He kissed lightly on her white cheek. "Are you happy?"
"Yes... just couldn't help but worry, wondering how long such joy could last. Even though I know you don't love Maria, I still can't help but envy her every time she appears next to you."
"I know. Although there are times when I make you sad, and uncomfortable, please trust me, I like you. Any hurt, I don't want, no one expects you to be happier than I am."
"Yes! I trust you."
When the two of them hugged, time passed another minute, a second, and seeing that it was already more than eight o'clock, Ella let go of him. "Let's go, or we'll be late."
The two of them got into the car, but David discovered that the car wouldn't start. He tried many times, but still no result.
"What happened?"
"Don't know. I'll call the driver." He took out his phone and discovered that the place couldn't use the phone because there was no signal.
Ella was impatient. "What should I do? I've already made an appointment with Raymon."
"This is a private area, there are no buses or taxis nearby."
"Then I'll walk." Ella decided, opening the car door to get out.
David stepped out too, holding her hand. "The mountain road here is very long, it is difficult to go, and it is easy to get lost. Even if you go down the mountain, it will not be in time. Besides, it looks like it's going to rain, it's going to be dangerous."
"No, I can't let him down." Ella doesn't think of anything, she only has a promise to Raymon in her heart. She doesn't want to be the one to break her promise.
David could not stop it many times and had to follow her.
Not long after, there was a storm, thunder rumbling, raindrops like a whip hitting the two of them. Ella was so hit by the rain that she couldn't open her eyes, and in the thunder, she yelled at him. "You go back first, I go alone." As soon as she finished speaking, she slipped and fell down the mountain.
"Ella." David rushed to hug her, and the two of them rolled several meters before stopping. He's not worried about himself, he's just asking about her. "Are you ok?"
"No, I'm fine..." She tried to stand up, but the slightest movement felt too much pain. "My ankle seems to be dislocated."
"The rain is too heavy, you can't go down the mountain, let's go home."
"But what about Raymon?"
"Listen to me, or we'll both be locked up here."
She knew that she couldn't go down the mountain, much less be involved with him, so she nodded.
David carried her. After experiencing difficulties, they returned to the bamboo house.
Ella's whole body was wet from the rain, trembling, and her lips were white. "I... I... cold..."
David hastily turned on the heater, prepared the hot water, and let her shower first. After she went to the bathroom, he went to another bathroom.
Ella soaked her body in hot water for more than half an hour, her icy body slowly warmed up, and blood started circulating again.
Her clothes were all wet and could not be worn, so she had to wrap a towel to go out. The room had a heater on, it was warm and comfortable. The lamp in the room radiates a yellow light throughout the room, very warm.
David also finished taking a bath, and as soon as he got out, he hugged her and laid her down on the bed. The short towel exposed her white legs. Her face turned red.
David took a cup of hot milk tea, took her hand, and gently covered it, the heat from the milk tea, spread throughout her limbs, warm. "You drink, you will feel more comfortable."
"Yes." She took a small sip. "You don't drink?"
He lifted her little foot and saw that her leg was scraped with a patch of skin, his eyebrows furrowed, and he stood up to take the medical box.
