Seeing that she didn't want to talk, David didn't want to pressure her either. He put the phone down on the table and went to the bathroom.
His phone rings and Ella walks over to pick it up to see who called him in the early morning. On the phone screen was a photo, with Maria's name attached. For a moment, that photo made her face pale and her lips white.
Her whole body was cold as ice, shivering. She hopes that she is blind, so as not to see that picture.
David comes out of the bathroom and sees Ella with her back to him, she's holding his phone, and it's still ringing.
"What happened?"
Her whole body turned to stone.
David is suspicious, he takes the phone from Ella's hand, the picture showing Maria's call is the picture of the two of them in bed, and he is shocked when he sees it. David immediately hung up the call, he nervously grabbed Ella's hand. "Listen to my explanation... Maria and I are not related at all... I... last night, I was drunk... I didn't know she took these pictures..."
Ella was so shocked that the corners of her eyes were red, and she glared at him angrily, which frightened him. "Ella, trust me... I don't know..."
Ella raised her hand and slapped his right cheek. "Why are you deceiving me? You said you and Maria were just friends but you slept with her?
"I don't know, it was taken by her...... I was drunk at the time...."
She took a deep breath, when people are desperate to a certain extent, even anger has no strength left. Ella closed her eyes, her hoarse throat making a choking sound. "You want me to believe you, but, you let me down. You get jealous when I'm with Raymon. Do you think I'm not jealous when you and Maria are together?"
He clenched his hand. "Ella, sorry... I know I was wrong, listen to me..."
"I do not want to hear. You go." She yelled, pushing him outside.
David banged on the door loudly, but Ella didn't open it either. He lazily walked down the stairs. He hadn't returned yet, but stood still, looking up at Ella's apartment. After a while, he left, just because he didn't want to force her. Now he doesn't know how to explain to Ella about those photos. Everything has happened.
Maria's Mansion. She put the phone down on the table, giving a sly smile. She made sure everything went smoothly. Given her understanding of Ella, it was certain that Ella wouldn't want to listen to David when he wasn't at the beach rendezvous. She, of course, would have to let him shower first.
At this point, Maria calls David, the recipient of the call will be Ella because David is in the bathroom. When she picks up the phone, she'll see the photo.
Maria laughs happily as her plan goes so well.
Silly, gentle Ella has fallen into Maria's trap.
'On what basis do you take my man.' Maria whispered in her heart. 'In the end, it's you who fail, hurt, and despair.'
David didn't go to the office but went straight to Maria's house. She was sitting on the sofa, in a very excited mood. He entered the house and threw the phone in front of her. "Why are you taking these pictures?"
"I was just joking. I thought the picture was good, so I used it as wallpaper. What's up?" Maria, acting like an innocent girl, asked.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" David restrained his anger.
"What do you mean? I don't understand."
"You did it on purpose so that Ella would misunderstand me and you who slept together."
Maria pretended to be alarmed. "What? Ella see that photo? But why did she take your phone?"
David got angry, sat down in his chair, and clenched his fists.
"Sorry, I do not know. I'll give Ella a call and explain it to her." Maria pretends to make a phone call but is stopped by David.
"Now, she is very angry, there is no point in explaining, wait a few more days."
"David, I hope you understand that I am not a scheming girl. I didn't know my actions would affect your relationship with Ella. I'm sorry." Maria's eyes were very sincere, innocently defeating the doubt in David's heart.
Ella was sitting on a park bench, her eyes red, indicating that she had just cried.
One foot approached her and sat down beside her on the stone bench. Raymon handed her a beer. "If you're not in a good mood, drink this."
"You have no other way to comfort?" Ella looked up.
"Have."
"What way?"
"Into the hotel. Go to bed." He said nonchalantly. "When I see a woman crying, I will throw her on the bed, and she will be in a good mood again. Do you want to try?"
"Forget about this." Ella pouted.
"My skills in bed are very good, I guarantee you will be satisfied. After trying with me, you will find out that David is too weak..." Raymon gave a sly smile.
"Thank. You find another woman, I have no need."
Raymon shrugged. "This is the first time I have seen you so angry. What did he do to make you angry?"
"It's none of your business anyway. You can't help me out." She smiled bitterly.
Raymon did not answer. Even though she didn't say, man, he knew it was Maria's plan.
"If you two are not happy, then divorce, I will take you on a trip to relax your soul," Raymon suggested.
"Things are not as simple as you think."
"Because you are still attached, not determined to divorce."
Ramon said exactly what Ella had in mind. She couldn't help but feel pain. "Don't talk about him. Thank you for comforting me. Yesterday, I also implicated you, causing you to be beaten. I see you as a good person."
"I'm not as good as you think, I'm selfish, evil, I have intentions..."
Raymon's phone suddenly rang. He saw the caller was Maria, so he got up from his chair and took a few steps to answer the call.
"You're by Ella's side, comforting her, aren't you? You should thank me because I gave the two of you a chance to be together."
"The group of men at the beach was called by you?" That's why Maria texted him telling him to go to the beach.
Raymon gritted his teeth. "You promised me you wouldn't hurt Ella?"
"She was not injured. I just scared her, so you could be the hero to save her. Take this chance, make her fall in love with you, I have my arrangements too." Maria hung up the call.
"Shit." Raymon cursed under his breath.
