Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 62: Why Did You Scold Me?
Edward's eyes still didn't move away from her face, not allowing any subtle change of expression to go unnoticed. He stared at her like a man solving his first puzzle, determined and serious. Ellena was also staring at him this whole time. If outsiders were to see them now, they would've felt the tension rising on the rooftops. They were like a pair of kids, just waiting for the other to budge. In the end, she's the first one who turned away. They were just one person? No matter how much Ellena thought about it, she couldn't help but feel that the idea was ridiculous! Seeing the constantly changing expression on her face, Edward couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in himself. Perhaps it really wasn't the right time to say it now. It must be too sudden. He retracted his gaze and slowly drank the mouthful of water. "If I said no, would you believe me?" Hearing the incredulity in his voice, her shoulders sagged in relief. "Of course not! Do you really think I'm that easy to
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 63: Think Twice Before Talking about My Husband
Ellena had already walked out of the villa gates, still flushing from the incident. However, just as she was heading over to the bus station, she heard the car engine whistle right behind her.Pursing her lips, she finally turned around to see that the black Bentley had stopped right beside her. Its tinted windows gleamed against the bright sunlight, and she squinted her eyes.Soon, the window lowered, revealing Nicklaus's handsome but annoying face. She could feel her annoyance rising in an instant, and her hands fidgeted from the suddenness. What the hell was he doing here?Edward narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. "Get in the car. I'll take you to work.""There's no need," Ellena rejected him directly, not wanting to be stared at again.If “Nicklaus” dropped her off, she'd be susceptible to office gossip once again. After lying low during the weekend, she wasn't planning to push herself back into the spotlight! She shook her head.However, “Nicklaus” didn't look that bother
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 64: You Should Set a Good Example for Others
Edward was supposed to leave the premises after Ellena had said her answer. After all, it would've been out of character if he had stayed there and inserted himself into their conversation. However, as soon as he recalled what Naomi had done to her the last time, he decided to return. As long as they still weren't on company premises, then there might be a chance that she'd try something. What he didn't expect was to witness a good show. In his entire life, other than his mother, this was the first time he had been protected by a woman. Somehow, he couldn't help but reminisce the times his mother had pushed him behind her back, towering over anyone who'd go against him. An inexplicable warmth surged through his veins, and he couldn't help but soften at the sight. He couldn't help but feel a bit strange. Unknowingly, the corners of his lips twitched up into a smile. This feeling was wonderful. Ellena had been wearing thick leather shoes that were about three to four centimeters h
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 65: She Felt Wronged
There were a lot of women in the marketing department. And as they say, if women were to gather together, if they don't talk about themselves, they'd naturally talk about other people. That small theory had been proven right today. What had happened in the morning spread throughout the entire company in just a mere few hours. By the time they were having their lunch break, Ellena was already the center of attention. She'd feel eyes following her direction everywhere she went. Her face was still swollen from the slap, but she continued to keep her head high. Halfway to the washroom, she could hear a bunch of her female colleagues discussing their opinions as to what really happened. "What's going on? I heard that only one woman applied for a leave today. There wasn't any man!" One of them whispered. "Isn't it obvious?" One of them arched up an eyebrow. "Naomi and Dawson must've worked together to set Ellena up! Why else would there be this mysterious male colleague that suddenly di
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 66: I Won't Hit a Woman, So Do It Yourself
However, “Nicklaus” was almost 1.9 meters tall. Even if Ellena wanted to, she wasn't able to block his face even if she stood on her tiptoes. She didn't know why but every time Naomi gazed up at him, she felt uneasy.Naomi glanced at Ellena with contempt, but it quickly faded as a small smile threaded across her lips. Stepping forward, she stared up at him. "Mr. Arnoult," she said softly, her voice dripping with faux innocence and sweetness. "It seems that we meet again."Edward glanced at her before looking at Ellena, who had suddenly blocked his path. Seeing as she wouldn't even gaze up at him, he could understand why she'd do such a thing.He remembered once she said, "Your Sister-in-Law is like your mother” when she contradicted him. And seeing her protect him like this...His eyebrows furrowed over, observing her stiff back and hardened features. Did she really view him as her son and nothing more?As soon as the thought had occurred to him, his expression became even colder. He d
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 67: Let Me See
No matter how blue and swollen Naomi's face became, Edward still didn't ask them to stop. Instead, he simply leaned against his seat and observed the show happening before him. At this point, it was almost impossible to see what she looked like.Ellena, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see it. She gently kicked his leg under the table and whispered. "Nicklaus!"Although she had wanted to pay Naomi back for everything she had done, this wasn't it!Edward turned around. Upon seeing her wide eyes, he knew she wanted him to stop. He sighed and knocked on the table and said lazily. "All right. I've never seen such a cruel man such as yourself, Mr. Smith. You're actually willing to beat your beautiful daughter up like this. But as they say, the apple doesn't really fall that far from the tree."His voice didn't sound like he was the culprit at all. Instead, he sounded sad and wistful as if he was just an innocent bystander. With a shake of his head, he pushed back his plate and gazed at
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 68: Do You Want to Sell Me Again?
Ellena walked out of the entrance and went straight to the bus station. The last thing she needed was to bear the brunt of her father's anger; she had enough of that for the last twenty-so years of her life. There were many people waiting for the bus. Just as she had finally relaxed, a familiar black car stopped by the side of the road. The window slowly lowered, and Ralph glanced at her. "Get in the car." Although she hesitated, she got in anyway. It was just three of them in the car, with the driver sitting upfront. Ellena didn't say a word even after she had gotten in. The driver drove around for a while before stopping by a more isolated roadside. After a few minutes of silence, Ralph said faintly. "Ellena, I know you skipping work was just a misunderstanding on my part. But your sister has already suffered so much today, and this matter should be taken care of. Don't take it to heart." "You think that's enough?" Ellena sneered. Ralph frowned. "Your sister has already suff
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 69: It's My Fault
During dinner, Ellena could feel that there was something off with the atmosphere. And after looking at “Nicklaus's” face, she could tell that she wasn't making this up. Most of the time, his expression usually held an aura of coldness and indifference. He didn't have to speak to make his presence known to the people around him, especially her. However, this time, his eyebrows were more furrowed over, and his eyes glinted dangerously. He was like a predator who had just lost his prey. He clenched his fingers around his fork so tightly that a part of her was afraid that it would break. Picking up a piece of fish, she placed it in his bowl. "Try this. I sprinkled in a little bit of pepper today, so I'm not sure if you'd like it." She said gently, trying her best to erase the tension in the atmosphere. But instead of eating it, “Nicklaus” picked it up with his chopsticks and threw it across the table. Ellena frowned. Had she done something to piss him off? Her lips pursed together
