A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a large mansion. The entrance is cobblestone. Colorful flowers surround the walls. While David pulled the car into the garage, Ella stood watching the mansion. She had never seen a house as beautiful as David's. To the right is the swimming pool. On the left is a long road, planted with many trees. A feeling of suspense welled up in her heart. After a while, they asked, and she knew how to answer.
David stepped forward and grabbed Ella's hand, startling her. "Hey, friend. How dare you?" She was angry, she said.
"You forget we're acting as husband and wife. It's normal for a husband to hold his wife's hand."
Ella reluctantly rested her hand in David's large palm. Her face seemed stiff.
David raised his voice. "You should be relaxed, natural, comfortable. Your expression will make people suspicious."
Hearing his explanation, Ella took a deep breath, changing her expression. She smiled lovingly at David. Then the two of them entered the courtyard. The view of the villa is amazingly beautiful. There is also a bowling alley, a helipad, and an outdoor cinema. Ella feels like being lost in a magnificent castle.
When David and Ella entered the living room, the people who were chatting in the living room suddenly fell silent, looking in their direction.
"Why are you late today? Who is this girl?" Mrs. Emma - David's mother - pointed at Ella, and asked in a surprised voice.
Before David could speak, a young girl spoke up. "I know. She's definitely his brother's girlfriend." Yes, the girl who just spoke was David's sister - Rika.
As if to prove what Rika said was correct, David admitted. "Right." He brought Ella in front of the oldest man in the family - Mr. Harry. "Grandpa, she's my wife."
Mrs. Emma was so surprised she was about to jump off the sofa. "What? Are you kidding us? You never mentioned having a girlfriend, why bring in a wife?"
"Emma, calm down." Mr. Harry carefully reminded his daughter-in-law, then looked at Ella. "Please introduce yourself."
Ella bowed politely to all the elders. She speaks. "My name is Ella, I am twenty years old."
"Hi Ella, welcome to our family." Mr. Harry looked at the girl for a moment, then nodded.
"Father, why are you accepting this? We don't know anything about her, David doesn't even say." Mr. Roy - David's father - is disgruntled.
Mrs. Emma agrees. "My husband is right, father. We don't know her background. How can she match her nephew Anthony - a noble family, the richest in X city? The media knows. It will affect the honor of our family."
"Why do you distinguish between rich and poor? No matter what Ella's background is, as long as they truly love each other, I will accept it. David is an adult, he has the right to choose his life and love. We can only stand behind them." Mr. Harry said fairly.
"OK." Mrs.'s face Emma softened. She looked at Ella, asking. "What do you do, where do you live, who are in your family?"
"I..." Ella stammered.
David intervened. "Ella works in the same company as me, her mother died early, and she lives with her father."
Mrs. Emma rolled her eyes. "I'm not asking you, I'm asking Ella. Why are you answering for Ella? Let her answer for herself, she's not dumb."
Ella looked at David, and caught his secret wink, she understood that it was necessary to say exactly what he had said earlier.
"I'm an employee at David's company, I work in the marketing department. I live with my father... in an apartment." Ella felt guilty about lying.
"How long have you known each other?" Mrs. Emma asked.
"A year."
"Six months."
David and Ella spoke at the same time.
"A year or six months after all?" Mrs. Emma asked back in annoyance.
"A year." David replied.
Ella laughed, scratching her head. "That's right, a year. I remember wrong."
"Why did you only introduce yourself until now? Why are you secretly getting married? Or... is she pregnant?"
David waved his hand. "No, mom. Because we're both busy, I don't have time to take her home. We have registered our marriage. After everything is fine, we will hold a wedding ceremony. If not, we will have a wedding ceremony. Anything else, I'll take my wife up to the room." David took Ella's hand and led her toward the stairs.
In the living room, people are still talking.
"I was planning to introduce Jenny to David tomorrow, but..." Mrs. Emma regrets. On the outside, she seems to accept Ella but on the inside, she doesn't.
"It's fine for me to see Ella, mom." Rika said. She is happy to have Ella appear. Everyone is old at home, she can't talk to anyone her age, so she's happy to have a new member of the family.
"Shut up. Don't say if you don't know." Mrs. Emma scoffed.
"Why scold Rika? What's her fault? David getting married is fun, we are his relatives, we should support and bless." Mr. Harry said.
"Grandpa is the best." Rika gave a thumbs up to her grandfather.
Villa Anthony is very large, built in the French style. Beige brick wall. Each bedroom has a separate bathroom and balcony. The windows that open are all beautiful views with glorious sunrises and sunsets.
David opened the door to a room. Ella looked around his bedroom, and couldn't help but marvel. It's twice the size of her home in the countryside.
"From now on you will stay with me, in this room. You sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the sofa." David took off his coat.
"I need reassurance that... midnight... you won't... do something..." Ella stammered.
David understood what she meant. "Don't worry. I've never touched a woman in my life except for my mother and sister."
"Are you 'allergic' to women?" Ella chuckled.
"No. I just don't like it. I just share a bed with... my wife. I mean the official wife and you... just the contract wife."
Looking at David's stern face, Ella believed he was telling the truth. A man who does not casually go to bed with anyone does not have sex unless he is married. Ella thought that if any girl became David's wife, she would be very lucky."Tomorrow I'll drive you to the hospital so you can visit your father, then go home to get some clothes. I'll ask Key to deliver your luggage to my house." Wherever David said, Ella nodded. Suddenly remembering something, she asked. "What about you telling me that I'm an employee in your company. You lied like that, what should I do?"David calmly said. "Make the lie true. I need a secretary, please be my secretary.""Really? Will I get a job?""I don't say two words."Ella changed the subject. "Your mother is a bit difficult, she doesn't seem to like me. But Rika is very cute.""Be patient. After a while, she will accept you, as long as you do everything you can." David looked at her with a serious face."I can walk around the house freely, okay?" El
Ella opened the door of Mr. Stephen and gently entered. Still, the sound of her footsteps woke him up."Ella, you're here." Mr. Stephen said, sitting up."Dad, how are you?" Ella walked over and sat on the edge of the bed."I'm fine. I'm sorry to make you worry.""Dad don't say that, taking care of you is my duty."“I am your burden, right?” Mr. Stephen patted Ella's hand, his voice a little sad."No. I am lucky to be your daughter.”Ella's phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at it softly. "I'm out on the phone for a while, I'll be back soon." She said and walked out of the room."Wazzup? We just said goodbye for a few minutes.” Ella said politely. Although she is not the daughter of a noble family, she was raised from a young age to be polite when talking to others."I just wanted to say if you need anything, just tell me, I'm here to help." David said, he just arrived at the company."Thank. But the money you gave me was enough for me to take care of everything.” Ella said
David didn't care about the eyes around him, he took Ella's hand and led him to a quiet, luxury room. Ella was overwhelmed when she saw the menu. The food is very expensive, even more, expensive than the salary she gets for a month.Looking at her expression, David understood what she was worried about. He lowered his voice. "Never mind the price. I'll be the one to pay."Ella chooses the cheapest item on the menu. Wait for the waiter to leave, she said. "This is not a matter of who pays, but a matter of savings. Just a breakfast for a few hundred thousand, I feel a bit wasteful. Next time I will take you to a popular restaurant with reasonable prices. The quality is not inferior to the dishes in the restaurant." "You intrigued me. I'd love to know where that is." David smiled as he spoke."I will lead you to the future." Ella said.The waiters bring the food. They ate and talked.After eating, they went to the company. Today is Ella's first day working at D&A corporation. She could
"Hi, nice to meet you." Ella tries to act like a friendly person. She doesn't have many friends except for Suzy, she lives a closed life so she communicates badly while talking."Ella, how did you meet my brother?" Rika asked, blinking excitedly."We ran into each other in the hospital. After that, we kept in touch until we decided to get married later." This is true, Ella didn't lie.Rika was dumbfounded when she heard what Ella said. The story of Ella and David's meeting was too bland. How did they decide to get married when there was no romance between them?"It's strange. My brother is dry and rigid, what is attractive about him? Handsome or rich?" Rika asked and looked at Ella's reaction."He's very good, knows how to help others." Ella said what she had in mind. Even though the two of them are just contracted husband and wife, she is still grateful to David for saving her father. This is a partnership where both sides benefit. Even though he's in the same room, he doesn't touch
The next morning, Ella woke up to a bright ray of sunlight from the balcony shining into her eyes.She turned her head to look to the left, the pillow was empty. She suddenly remembered that today was Sunday, the staff was off, but David had an important client meeting so he went to work early in the morning.Ella got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Naughty in the water, she brought her hand to her lips. David's kiss was still lingering around her lips.After showering, Ella sat on the bed texting David. 'Today is off, what should I do?'After a while, the phone screen lit up. David sent a reply message. 'Please do what you want.'She replied immediately. “Okay.”She picked up her bag and walked out of the room. She had just left, Sophie opened the door and removed the camera, and went to Mrs. Emma. She opened it and with Mrs. Emma pinched her head to watch.After watching the video, Mrs. Emma and Sophie looked at each other.“They actually slept together. That means they truly l
Ella to the largest luxury shopping center in the city. She walked around the mall. Her eyes blinked when she saw a price list at a clothing stall. Most of the items here cost more than five hundred dollars. She looked regretfully. She's not a fancy dress girl, so she just buys some cheap clothes. She just wears what she can afford and is comfortable with. Style doesn't matter to her. She did not forget to buy apple pie for Mr. Harry.At checkout, Ella had no change. She struggled to find change in her wallet. The people behind her urging her on made her even more confused.Suddenly, a hand landed on the counter at the cashier with a change of bills accompanied by a voice. "I pay for her."Ella turned her head to look. The one who helps her is Raymond.Leaving the counter, Ella said in an appreciative voice. "Thank you. It's too embarrassing to let you help me.""Nothing. We're colleagues after all." Raymond said with a smile on his lips."Yes."A reporter saw them and took a picture
After having dinner with the whole family, David and Ella asked permission to go back to their room.She sat on the sofa watching him do his work at the table. Then she opened the phone and made a schedule. Although she is David's secretary, her work is not much, she has a lot of free time, so she wants to do something to be active, such as learning to cook, learning the piano, practicing yoga or aerobics…David raised his head, his eyebrows raised when he saw Ella seem very focused on the phone. he asked softly. “What are you going to do, Ella?”Ella put the phone down on the table. “I need to do something for tomorrow. I need to exercise, my brain will go numb if I don't do anything every day." She spoke nonchalantly and reached for a document on David's desk.“Um.” David continues to work, he focuses on computers. Ella walked over and sat across from him.“Stop worrying. I will make a good wife who can be your support in the future.” Ella opened the document, going through the page
“Missing lady, you shouldn't do this kind of work. If Mr. Harry, I'll be in trouble." A maid said as she saw Ella stirring eggs in a bowl."It's okay, I can do it." Ella said, while the maid arranged the dishes and decorated the plates with salad.Ella made egg-fried rice for her and David. She garnished the rice with chili, carrots, sausage, and onions. She arranged it beautifully.With the other members, she makes hot dog toast with a recipe she made up herself. She put all the dishes on the table, just as everyone entered the dining room one by one.All the maids bowed in unison to them.As usual, Mr. Harry sat in the middle of the table. A maid who was also his close servant whispered something in his ear. After listening, Mr. Harry nodded, smiling at Ella. “Is it because you cooked breakfast?”“I only cooked a few dishes for me and David, because I don't know your tastes.” Ella politely replied.“Today I want to try the food you made.” Mr. Harry took a piece of hot dog and popped
The next morning, Ella prepared breakfast and went out, and Zelda was washed and cleaned. When Ella went out, Zelda woke up, but then she went back to sleep. David sat leisurely reading the document. Suddenly, Zelda woke up, flipped over, and leaned out of the crib. David turned to look, reached out to pick her up from the crib, he set his baby down on the carpet, and dumped the toys around her. He says. "Just play." then back to work. Zelda is very obedient, quietly sitting and playing. She rolled left and right and flipped all over. Playing for a while, Zelda felt lonely, she crawled to David's feet, grabbed his pants, she raised her big eyes to look at her father who was concentrating on work. David understood, Zelda was trying to call him, and suddenly David got interested, he smiled and looked down. His face showed amusement, he knew Zelda wanted milk. So he put her to bed, went to the kitchen to get a bottle of milk that Ella had prepared, and put it in the cupboard. Seeing
A cool summer, in the warm, peaceful house of the husband and wife David and Ella have just welcomed a new member named Zelda.Back to the past.At the company.David was busy with documents that needed his approval when suddenly his phone rang.He opened the phone, it was his mother calling.“David, Ella suddenly had a stomach ache and fainted, she is in the emergency room. You want to go to the hospital.”David hung up the call, forgot to put on his jacket, put his phone in his pocket, and ran to the hospital.Because his wife is about to give birth, so he is very excited.From the office, he rushes to the elevator, and waits for the elevator for less than fifteen seconds, he feels impatient, occasionally looking at the watch in his right hand.Right now, whatever, he doesn't care. The only thing he thinks about is his wife's safety.Arriving in the parking lot, he got into the driver's seat, not even having time to buckle his seat belt. He's at a very fast pace.At the intersection
"No, it's just that in the morning, he called me, wanting us to go to the airport tomorrow to see him off. Raymon is afraid that he won't have much time to visit us later, so he wants to see us. meet us before we go.” Afraid that David would disagree, she sat up and shook his arm, "Let's go see him off, okay?"David's brow furrowed, he didn't feel happy when Ella mentioned another man when it was just the two of them. Ella knew he was about to get jealous again, so she said. "Anyway, you and Raymond are friends, I've been your wife, he's changed his personality."David sighed, his head resting on Ella's small shoulder. "Okay, let's go together."Receiving David's answer, she immediately changed her attitude, from sad to giggle, and put her arms around his neck and even kissed David on the cheek.He sat quietly enjoying her treatment, although he went to meet his opponent but was coaxed by his beloved wife like this, he also felt worthy.Suddenly her lower abdomen felt uncomfortable, h
"Stop teasing me. Our mother is here. I asked her if she could come with us, okay? And she said yes." Finished talking, he opened the car door and helped her sit inside, then he turned to Mrs. Emma. "Mom, you take care of my wife." Mrs. Emma looked at him and nodded with a smile. After confirming she was in a safe seat, David rounded the driver's seat. Half an hour later, the car stopped at a rather large hospital in the city of X. David gently hugged Ella's waist along with her, and Mrs. Emma stepped inside. Ella followed the nurse's instructions into the room, with David in the back. His eyes were fixed on the screen that was gradually showing a fetus that had formed. The doctor moved the instrument over her abdomen and spoke to Ella. "The baby is developing very well, your family remembers to be careful in these months of pregnancy, especially since you and your husband should not have sex to avoid affecting the baby." Ella's face flushed, she peeked at David but, she caught s
David looked at his wife in surprise, Mr. Roy coughed. "The name of the baby does not have to be chosen from the names on this paper, you can choose whatever you want, I have no idea."David looked at the names on the paper and smiled. Ella's finger pointed to a name on the paper, speaking to David. “Use this name, okay?”David nodded. "So, if it's a boy, it's called Elias, if it's a girl, it's called Zelda."Mr. Roy heard that, somewhat smugly, and his face immediately smiled.Since Ella is pregnant, there is no married life, at night, David has to sleep separately, and he is afraid to touch the baby in Ella's belly. One day, David took her to a maternity checkup, and he asked the doctor directly. “When can we sleep in the same room?”Ella just listened, her face was red, and she lowered her head not daring to look at the doctor, the doctor tried not to laugh, and glanced at the couple. "Now is the time to settle down, can sleep together, but still should be restrained, not too inten
Ella couldn't help but laugh. "Don't brag, I haven't given birth yet, my belly isn't big yet. This is just a sign of pregnancy."David took a few deep breaths, then he regained consciousness, his hand gently rubbing her stomach, speaking in surprise. "Here, have our children?"Ella nodded gently, she took her hand and placed it on his. “Yes, you are going to be a father.”David held her in his arms again, gently, like holding a precious object, he couldn't imagine how happy he was right now, he was so happy that he wondered if he whether they were dreaming or not, they held each other in silence for a long time, then returned to the living room."Before, you didn't need me to drive you to work, but now that you're pregnant, you have to listen to me."Ella shook her head. “If you drive me to the company, you have to get up an hour early, you also have to work overtime in the evening, I don't want you to work so hard, moreover you contact many customers to sign contracts, in the evening
After the coach taught them the simplest methods. Next, the teacher instructs them in simple hand movements, because underwater cannot talk, and can only rely on hand and foot language to communicate, upright hand means stop, two fingers swinging the wave up and down means swimming, and holding the nose to breathe means the pressure is increasing, need to go up, finally, it's simpler to use your hands to do Ok.After the canoe took them out to sea, arrived at the diving site, and stopped, the coach helped Ella to put on a diving suit, put on frog shoes, and an oxygen tank on her back, David has the experience, so he wears his own diving suit.The oxygen tank weighs almost 50kg, Ella has her back to the back, she is sitting on the web, so heavy that she can't stand up, the trainer has to help her lift the oxygen tank, so she can stand up. OK, they go to the stairs, David jumps into the sea, he's in the water holding her.Ella went down the stairs, her body fell into the water, the seaw
David and Ella have been married for a week. They plan to go on a honeymoon.The location during the honeymoon trip is on a small island in the Pacific Ocean called Fiji, on the island, there is a private club that is a mecca for everyone to rest, the number of people here is very large. At least, outside the door are statues of children and statues of knights standing on either side, many Hollywood stars and the most famous figures in the society like to come here to rest.The only means of transportation on the island is a helicopter. David and Ella went out the door of the plane, which had a private car waiting there. They chose a room designed on the water, the brown roof is covered with grass, outside the room is a private beach, below is transparent sea water, above is the vast blue sky, in the room is decorated. Simple decoration, wood, and bamboo as the main theme, fresh air everywhere, and no pollution.Ella has never had a chance to go on a trip to the sea, so this trip got
The next morning, Ella woke up, and she felt her body aching. She couldn't imagine how she felt, it could be said that her spine and waist were sore and cramped. The whole body ached unbearably, someone was still fast asleep.Ella stared at the man next to her, the more she looked at it, the angrier she got, she bit his hand, and suddenly an arm appeared behind her waist, pulling her to his chest.“Don't make a fuss, last night was too tiring, I don't need it now. Next time will continue.” When the words ended, David hugged Ella and kissed her on the lips, continuing to sleep.Ella blushed. She twisted her body to want to be far away from him, the result was a steady hand holding her waist, and a hoarse voice rang out, making Ella, in a rage, also dared not move.“If you are still moving, I will continue now.”Those words made Ella's heart tremble. But in the end, she dared not move.The sun was high, and Ella had a hard time getting out of bed. She and David went down to the living r
