"I feel uncomfortable when she keeps coming into contact with Raymon," David said, leaning his head against the chair.
"Do you know what love is after all? Love is not about taking, but sacrificing and understanding, understanding, and sharing. Ella is not an item you own. She also has her own life. If you love her, you have to trust her. If you trust her, you must not be jealous. It was you who made her hate you. As for Raymon, I think Ella doesn't love him. They are friends, they have the right to talk to each other as long as they don't go over the line. Be calm and think, don't let jealousy kill your love." Rika advised her brother, and then she left the room.
David sat silently on the sofa. He thought for a long time. Rika is right. He realized his mistake.
David returns to the secret house. He opened the door and entered the bedroom. He stopped walking when he saw Ella fast asleep with wet hair. Her clothes were also wet. Maybe she just finished taking a shower. He looked at the food on the table still intact.
Seeing her sleeping soundly like a small cat, his gaze became gentle. He walked up to her and stroked her hair. After a while, he walked over to the closet, opened it, and found a nightgown and a towel.
Because both of them lived here occasionally, Ella had already bought clothes and nightgowns to put in the closet.
He carried them to the bed. He gently patted her hair dry. He also helps her change her wet clothes into a nightgown. Perhaps because she was so tired, she slept very deeply and didn't move when he changed clothes.
Seeing her wet hair and soft body, David felt that his whole body was quite hot. He had to work very hard to control his lust. He reminded himself not to hurt her again. If she didn't want to, he wouldn't do it.
It was already five o'clock when Ella woke up. She looked around the room and saw a tall figure standing by the window. His back was turned towards hers, so she couldn't see his facial expression.
Ella looked at her dress. It was her nightgown. 'I didn't wear this dress when I slept. Did he replace it for me?' She thought and raised an eyebrow at David.
Seemingly sensing Ella was up, he turned around to face her. He smiled. "Are you awake? Now, change your clothes, and let's go back to Villa Anthony. Grandpa wants us to go home for dinner." After saying those words, he quickly walked out of the room.
Ella was surprised. She didn't understand what was going on. Why did he change? No, this is the real him. Cold but gentle, completely unlike the David who had usurped her.
Anger and jealousy caused him to lose all reason. Ella was panicking with his actions these past few days. But now, she feels relieved.
Ella went to the closet, took out a set of clothes, and entered the bathroom. Moments later, she stepped out into the living room, looking around. David is waiting for her inside the car. She opened the car door, sat in the seat next to her, and fastened her seat belt.
David started the car. All the way home, they didn't say anything. Occasionally, Ella peeked at the man beside her, his expression serious and cold. He is still focused on driving.
The gate of Villa Anthony appeared. David ran straight into the parking lot. When the car stopped, Ella got off and waited for him.
The servants lined up in two long lines, bowing to them in unison.
Dinner is about to begin. The members sat at the table and the servants served them food.
Mr. Harry said. "David, Ella, when are you two planning on having a baby?"
Ella was shocked, her chopstick hand stopped in midair.
David said a few words to her. "Recently, work has been too much, and both of us are busy. There's no need to rush it, Grandpa."
"I heard from Maria that you and Raymon seem very close." Mrs. Emma mocked Ella.
"No... we are just colleagues in the company," Ella said in a firm tone.
"Oh, is that so!" Mrs. Emma smirked.
"OK." Mr. Harry looked at David and Ella's expressions. "What's wrong with you two? Quarrel?"
David glanced at Rika who was still eating her rice and said. "No, we're fine."
After they finished eating, the couple went to the bedroom. They remained silent until David spoke up. "I am sorry that my actions have caused you pain. Because of jealousy, I did things I shouldn't have done. I thought a lot, and with Rika's words, I finally realized I was wrong. Love is not something to possess. If you want a divorce... I'm willing to accept it."
Ella was shocked to hear his words. "Have you thought it through?"
David nodded. "If that makes you happy, I agree. You don't have to pay me back for that either. Do what you want to do." He went into his office.
That evening, David stayed in his office all night. Ella sleeps alone in bed. She couldn't sleep. She doesn't want to divorce him. At that time, because he was angry because he acted like an animal, she said that she wanted a divorce.
Now that he's suddenly agreed to her divorce proposal, Ella doesn't know what to say. Both of them are in a dilemma. All talk at the moment is meaningless. She thinks that if she waits a few more days for everything to fade into oblivion, she will find a way to talk to him.
Near two o'clock in the morning, David entered the bedroom. Ella was fast asleep. He walked over to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and lay down beside her.
The next day, David and Ella went to the office as usual. They don't talk about divorce.
'Perhaps she is thinking.' David was driving while thinking.
'How should I talk to him? Ella looked out the car window, thinking to herself.
As soon as he entered the office, David focused on the documents brought by Key. Many documents needed his approval, so he didn't think about other things but just focused on working. Near the end of the year, a lot of work.
Raymon noticed something different between David and Ella. He went to Ella's office and asked. "Did David do anything to you? Yesterday, he took you away while he was very angry, I was really worried."
Ella looked up at him. "No. Everything is fine."
"I feel like the relationship between you and David is not good."
"Thank you for taking care of me. I think we should limit talking, I don't want people to misunderstand. Anyway, I have a husband." Ella said with a serious face.
Raymon saw her so serious, that he stopped talking, and opened the door to go out.
