After knowing Jayden’s intentions Ellena’s expression turned cold.When those old men spoke to her, Ellena just responded indifferently instead of warmly.The older these people were, the more they cared about others’ attitude to them. A few of them saw Ellena like this and their faces went an ugly green.In the end, they didn’t have a pleasant meal.After the meal, Ellen and Jayden returned to the hotel together.They didn’t say anything on their way back. When they took the elevator in the hotel, Jayden suddenly said, “Ellena, don’t feel that I’m using you. Everything I’m doing is for our family.”Jayden’s words put him on the moral high ground.For their family.“Your sister deserves better.”“Don’t forget that you’re also a Smith.”“I’m doing this for our family.”Everyone had their own reasons for using her.But what about her?Should she just let them to do that and accept her fate?Ellena turned to look at Jayden. Under the blazing light in the elevator, her fair face went even
Ellena was a little embarrassed, but she still felt that it was safer to be careful.She opened the door and got into the car first.Because Cyrus was driving, if she sat in the back, she would feel like Cyrus was the driver. It was not very polite, so Ellena sat in the front passenger seat.The car drove steadily forward. Ellena then took out her phone and called Chloe back.She called but no one answered and hung up automatically.Ellena felt a little uneasy in her heart. Could something have happened to Chloe again?Just as she was thinking about it, Chloe called her.Ellena quickly picked up the phone, "Chloe.""Ellena, where are you? Why was your phone turned off earlier?" Chloe sounded serious.Could it be that something happened to her again?Ellena was a little nervous in her heart. "What happened? I was on the plane.""You didn't see the news, did you?" Chloe suddenly stopped talking as if she did not know what to say."What news?" Ellena had a bad feeling in her heart."Kimb
In the dining room.Ellena sat and ate. Edward just sat opposite her with his arms crossed and stared at her.There was a usual indifferent expression on his face, but his eyes were unusually focused, as if he had not seen her for several years.Ellena felt that Edward's appearance was too strange. She felt very awkward when he looked at her.Hence, she asked Edward, "What's the matter with Kimberly?"She naturally believed in Edward, but she still had to find out what was going on.Why would Kimberly come to Edward's villa and what was going on with the news?Edward did not answer and asked, "Have you seen the news?""Yes, I saw it." Ellena stuffed another spoonful of porridge into her mouth and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.Jessie's cooking was really good.Although she also knew how to cook, her cooking skills were far inferior compared to Jessie’s.Edward carefully observed her expression and found that other than her face full of satisfaction, there was no trace of anger at
Early in the morning, Chloe called the hotel to catch Edward.Edward was by her side. They had not gone out since they came back at noon yesterday.No matter how she looked at it, it was a little strange."What's going on?" Ellena sat up and leaned against the bed. "Edward is right next to me.""What?" Chloe was also very surprised.Edward heard Ellena mention him and looked up at her. He reached out and took his phone. His finger swiped on the screen for a while and finally passed it to Ellena.It was a new headline. The title was eye-catching and full of gimmicks."The successor of the Arnoult Family who had been mysterious for more than a decade was seen to be with several women.”When these keywords hit Ellena's eyes, her mind immediately sobered up.She muttered, "Chloe, Edward is right next to me now. We'll talk about it later if we have something to do."After hanging up the phone, Ellena took Edward's phone and opened the news to read.There were not only photos of dward himse
Ellena already knew that Naomi would not let this matter rest. She did not pick up Naomi's phone for the entire day. Naomi's current anger was probably going to explode. "I have something to do. I will not talk to you for now." Edward heard Naomi's voice and asked her in a low voice, "Where are you?" Ellena did not say much and hung up the phone. Naomi came to find her because of Edward. She did not want Edward to come and be taken advantage of by Naomi. En, even if Naomi looked at Edward a few more times, she still felt that Naomi took advantage of him. Naomi looked at Ellena. Her eyes seemed to be able to spew fire. "Ellena! You've been looking for you all day, you still have the mood to hide here and eat!" It was really interesting. Did she need to hide and eat? "Why should I not in the mood to eat? And I didn't hide. I just don't want to bother with you." Ellena cast a glance at Naomi. Her expression was indifferent and did not take her seriously at all. If it was not in
Old house?Ellena turned to look at Edward and found that his expression had become very gloomy.Ellena realized that anyone and anything related to the Arnoult family could make Edward change his expression.He seemed to dislike the Arnoult family very much.She reached out and held Edward's hand. Almost immediately, Edward held her hand back.After that, Edward said indifferently, "I know."Ellena could tell that Edward did not want to return to Arnoult's Mansion.She did not know much about the Arnoult family, but she knew that the Arnoult family was a big family. She had heard from Nicklaus that the Arnoult family had a large population. There were many cousins in the same generation. Only Nicklaus and Edward had a better relationship.Edward's identity was announced. It was normal for the Arnoult family to send Edward back after such a big incident.The two of them returned to their room. Ellena asked him, "Are we going back tomorrow?"Edward looked up and saw the cautious expres
Along the way, there were maids and bodyguards everywhere they passed. They would stop and greet Ellena and Edward.Even the curves of their bodies were the same. They were neatly arranged in a row. Clearly, they were well-trained.Ellena was secretly shocked. Her expression became somewhat solemn.The Arnoult's Mansion was very big. The two of them passed by the front yard and walked through the hall to the backyard.Alfred liked quiet when he was older, so he moved to live in the quiet backyard.When they arrived at Alfred's door, Edward asked the maid who was guarding the door, "Grandpa is inside?""Yes." The maid looked happy when she saw Edward. She gently pushed the door open and said carefully, "Sir, the young master is back."The door was opened a small crack, just enough for the maid to stand there. Ellena could not see inside. She only heard a slightly aged voice, "Let them in when they come."The maid turned around and nodded slightly at Edward.Edward held Ellena's hand ti
Ellena looked around his room and touched it. She looked very curious. At the corner of the desk, she saw a picture of a woman and a child together. The picture was taken in the summer and the little boy in the picture was very beautiful. He was wearing a school uniform with short sleeves and shorts. He looked at the camera with a grin and a very bright smile. The woman beside him was wearing a white dress. Her smile was gentle and there was a sense of transcendence in her calmness. "That’s my mom." Edward's hoarse voice came from behind. Immediately after, his arms wrapped around her waist. His firm and warm chest pressed against her back. She was completely wrapped in the cold aura unique to Edward. He used his free hand to touch the woman in the photo and slowly explained the source of the photo to her. "That year during Children's Day, she went to my school to participate in the parent-child activity. After it ended, we took this photo." Ellena turned back to look at him
