David's back was facing the entrance so he didn't see Ella coming. On the contrary, Maria sits across from him, so she sees Ella coming. When she saw Ella walk inside the bar, Maria stretched her body towards David and kissed him on the lips.
Ella was stunned by the scene in the bar. Ella's eyes filled with tears. Her lips trembled. She couldn't say a word.
Because Maria kissed unexpectedly, David was quite shocked, unable to push her away.
"David, why..." Ella choked.
Although she spoke very quietly, David still heard, he pushed Maria away from him and turned his head. He is shocked when Ella is standing behind him.
"Ella, no..."
Ella turned around and ran out of the bar.
"Ella," David shouted. He wanted to chase Ella but Maria held him tight.
"I have a headache, can you drive me home, please?" Maria hugged David's arm.
"I have to find Ella." Those were the words that came out of David's mouth. Then he walked towards the door.
Maria grabbed his arm. "What about me? Will you abandon me?"
David waved Maria's hand, he looked at her with sharp eyes. He didn't respond and walked out of the bar.
Maria looked at David's back, and couldn't help but smile wickedly. That was her plan.
Chilly wind on the street. Ella's mind went blank. She kept running forward aimlessly as if it was the only way she could forget everything she had seen.
She understands that David doesn't have feelings for Maria, but the scene just now still hurts her heart. Maria is a beautiful, sexy girl, she can seduce David.
'David, I don't know what to do, I'm hurt.' Ella cried as she continued to run. The cold wind brushed past her face mercilessly. The wind was like daggers piercing through her flesh, but she couldn't feel the cold wind, because her heart was numb.
Tears streamed down her cheeks non-stop, Ella tried to hold back the bitterness in her heart. The cold wind blew. In grief, step by step, step by step forward, my heart is also aching.
"Ella."
Ella could hear David's voice from behind her. But she ran faster and faster, she didn't want to see him right now.
"Ella, damn it, where are you, answer me," David shouted. For the first time in his life, he felt lost and in pain. Unable to find Ella, he leaned back against a tree and repeatedly punched the stump until his hand bled.
Right from the beginning of his career, David was filled with enthusiasm and a fighting spirit. But now, he's lost again by a woman. He feels weak and scared, he is afraid that he will lose her forever.
"Ella, no matter where you go, I'll take you home," David whispered to himself. He keeps looking for Ella. He phoned her, but there was no signal.
A day goes by and he doesn't know where Ella is now.
David returned to their home feeling weighed down by his thoughts. If he hadn't gone to Terra Blues... could this be Maria's plan? He punched the table hard. Silence enveloped the whole house.
He took the lighter and lit a cigarette. This is the first time, he smokes.
David slept until the next morning, next to him still empty. Last night, Ella didn't come home. She's at Suzy's house.
"I think everything was arranged by Maria, David is innocent." Suzy came out of the bathroom, she dried her hair while talking to Ella.
Ella, who was sitting on the sofa in a sad mood, sulked.
"But why did he let her kiss, what do you have in mind?" Ella bit her lower lip.
"You are right. But, maybe he was too surprised by Maria's kiss, so there's nothing he can do." Suzy poured a glass of water and set it down on the table, in front of Ella. "You know that he has no feelings for Maria, right?"
"I know, but I still feel the pain." Ella sobbed.
"Why didn't you stop him then?"
"I don't want him to think I'm selfish. Anyway, Maria and he have known each other longer than me." Yesterday, he and she spent Valentine's Day together happily, but today, he made her cry like this.
Love can bring sweet moments to couples but can also make their relationship fall apart in a split second.
"Perhaps you need more time," Suzy said. "You don't go home? You don't intend to see him, listen to him explain."
Ella sat dumbfounded. She knows that David is very worried about her. But, how will she face him? Her pride wouldn't allow it. She couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
Ella opened the phone. There were many missed calls and messages from David.
'Where are you, please tell me.'
'I never betrayed you, it was just a misunderstanding. Maria kissed me out of the blue, so I didn't have time to react before you saw it.'
'I just want you to know I love you, it's true.'
The messages made Ella both happy and bitter. But everything happened suddenly, she wanted to be quiet for a few days. Moreover, she also doesn't know when at the bar, what happened between David and Maria.
A few days later.
Ella has returned to her normal life, carefully hiding the wounds in her heart and showing a strong attitude.
To avoid meeting David, Ella moved her belongings from his study to hers. David wanted to talk to her, at least he wanted to say sorry, but she didn't give him a chance.
David came up with an idea, every day he put a bouquet on Ella's table. Whether she leaves for work early or late, she finds flowers already lying on the table.
She knew who sent the flowers but she still didn't say anything, she wanted him to show up but after a week, he still silently gave her flowers.
In the evenings, Ella stayed at The Lancaster apartment and David stayed at his secret home.
On Saturday morning, a group of people organized an intimate game, the prize for the winning couple was a meal worth $500. The location of the game is in the building opposite the company.
Raymon also wants to participate, but the rules of the game are: the participants must be a couple, a man and a woman, and they are not required to love each other.
