2022-03-13 13:56:17“What?” When Ellena heard this, her legs almost went soft. She was almost panicked. “I can’t do this! I don’t know how!”
Although she hated this man with all her might, she certainly wasn’t going to let him die in front of her eyes. And she wasn’t stupid enough to die along with him.
Even though she was nothing more than an accident baby who was born through failure of conception, even though Ralph and Madeline took her as a curse on themselves and never liked her, she didn’t give up the hope for living a better life.
And just because this man had a death wish, it didn’t mean that she also wanted it!
Edward’s eyebrows raised, “Or would you prefer to be buried alongside with me?”
Although it was still an indifferent tone, but there was an unquestionable firmness in it.
It seemed that she had no option but to bite the bullet.
With a pale face, Ellena went to g

The way Ellena served him the medicine was quite gentle, so gentle that he was a little moved by that.Then one thing led to another, and he just wanted to touch her, to feel her.After all, she was his wife, wasn’t she? Everything they did was completely natural.The corners of his lips inched up as he leaned deeper and deeper. Groaning his lips brushing against her, he found himself going deeper and deeper into her grasp.However, Ellena didn’t feel in the same way. In her eyes, he was “Nicklaus” Edward’s cousin!Over and over again, he teased her, kissed her, which were far beyond her tolerance.Ellena pushed him away abruptly, and stepped back a few steps, and kept some distance from him, said with a cold face. “Nicklaus, I’m your cousin’s wife! Even if you don’t like me, please show some respect!”After taking the bullet just now, her hatred towards “Douglas”

The next morning, Ellena was woken up by the ringing of her cellphone. She slowly opened her watery eyes and glanced at the phone who was kept vibrating at the side.To keep up her appearance of being a simple girl, she still used the old machine which could only make phone calls and send messages. Buying a smartphone would make her like her other family members and she couldn’t stand to be like them.She took her phone and looked at the caller ID, and immediately came to her senses.She hesitated for a moment before she picked up the phone, “Dad.”Why would he be calling her at this hour?Ralph Smith’s voice was as serious as always, “You went home yesterday? Who sent you back?”Ellena just felt bitterly disappointed. She had just gotten married. Why couldn’t her father ask a more relevant question than who took her home?For most of the part, Ralph rarely called her, let alone asked he

In her whole lifetime, Ellena Smith never sleepwalked. Thanks to her parents who would buy her an incredibly small bed, moving round meant breaking a hand or leg.So sleepwalking was not in her dictionary at all. Then why she was here?She definitely wouldn’t crawl beside him. Furthermore, the bed wouldn’t allow both of them to fit together. So there was only one reason.Face blushing, she turned to look at him, “You carried me, didn’t you?”“How do you think I could carry you?” Edward snorted and turned to look at her with a cold voice, “If memory serves to right, you should remember that I’m currently injured.”That was right… He was injured. Then could it be that… She really crawled to his side?Ellena had never been in bed with a man. He was too close to her. If it was any other man, his cheeks would already have been printed by her palm. But Edward had such a stro

Ellena’s was disgusted by her words. Why this woman was so hostile toward her always?“What are you talking about? It’s nonsense.”“Nonsense? You don’t know what I am trying to say?” Naomi snorted in disdain as she crossed her arms. “Do you dare to admit that you don’t like Daniel?”Ellena lowered her head and kept silent.Naomi wasn’t wrong.She had liked Daniel all these years.Just as she was about to respond, Naomi suddenly exclaimed in shock. “Daniel?”What? Daniel was here?Ellena nervously turned her head back and saw Daniel was indeed standing behind her.Did he hear what they talked just now?She looked at him nervously. However, Daniel walked toward Naomi without looking at her.It made her sure that he had heard their conversation.Naomi was very satisfied with this reaction. “It’s okay, Daniel. Ellen

Ellena froze as soon as she heard the voice. She glanced at the phone screen. It was still an unknown number. But she did not need to think that it was the voice of “Nicklaus.” Ellena frowned. Why was he calling her? Hadn’t he left yet? It’s already noon. “Why haven’t you left yet?” The reply she got was the sound of the call being terminated. Ellena looked at the black screen in disbelief. He hung up on her? She was so frustrated that she held her head and squatted down. Did everyone take the oath to make things difficult for her? Madeline and Ralph gave birth to her but didn’t love her. She was forced to marry into the Arnoult family. Her husband, Edward, hated her so much that he refused to see her. That was also fine to some extent. But now this “Nicklaus” kept pestering her creating more and more unnecessary problems in her life. She really did not want to bother with this shameless man. But, if she were to ignore what “Nicklaus” said, would he tell Edward that she had se

Edward was breathing heavily and his face was full of gloom. He looked even paler than before.Ellena looked at the full of gloom ‘Nicklaus’ and had a glimpse of his bloody hand. Blood was tickling down and soaking the floor. “You… What are you doing?”As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly looked at the wall, examining if something was broken. She was already in this state and if this ‘Nicklaus’ break the wall, how the hell she was gone to pay?She really wanted to shout at him. But at this moment he looked very scary just like a ghost. Looking him like this she didn’t dare to say anything.But she didn’t put anything strange into her dishes. How could it make him run out and cripple himself?And even if he wanted to hurt himself, did he need to do it in front of her house and destroy her property?

Edward’s father? Frederick Arnoult?The rich and noble man who attracted countless women in Herton City when he was young? The same man who grew such a massive business empire?He was actually calling her? For what?A shiver ran down her spine as Ellena was shocked for a several seconds before she found words to communicate. “Hello, Sir…”Even though he was her father-in-law, she could not utter the word ‘Dad.’“If you have time tonight, I want to treat you a dinner.” Frederick’s voice was calm and firm tempered by years of trials. Though it sounded like an order, it wasn’t offensive.Ellena understood one thing between his words. Although Frederick gave her a choice, she had no room for denials. She could only agree in response.“Sure, I have time.”“Great. I’ll send the driver to pick you up, see you tonight.”He hung up af

Hearing his words and looking at his smile, Ellena was stunned to silence. What shocked her was that the person in charge of such a rich and powerful family was actually this much kind.As he raised his hand and motioned her to sit, she couldn’t help but follow his instructions. She silently pinched her hand, suspecting if she was dreaming.After a few seconds, she recovered from her shock and quickly said, “Hello, I’m Ellena smith.”This time, she wasn’t pretending to be dumb, but she was really startled by Frederick Arnoult. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be jump out of her chest in the next moment.“Don’t be shy. Now, you are my daughter-in-law and a member of Arnoult family. So just make yourself at home.”As he spoke, he picked up the kettle next to him and poured her a glass of water. His eyes showing an unfamiliar look, most probably kindness, that she never got before.

Paul had personally investigated the information of Vincent that Edward wanted to know, so he knew everything about Vincent.Paul said with an indifferent expression, "Mr. Reed is really kind. You don't care about your own father's death at all. Instead, you are so enthusiastic about other people's matters.""What do you mean?" Vincent's expression changed as he stared at Paul."Mr. Reed really thought his father died in an accident? Do you know what your father has been doing all this time?" Paul stopped and did not plan to say anything more. He turned to leave.Vincent grabbed Paul's arm and said, "Explain yourself.""This is Mr. Reed's matter. How can I, an outsider, explain clearly?" Paul did not even blink. His expression was calm and composed."I understand. You are deliberately telling you all this to distract me. This way, Ellena might lose the case!" Vincent let go of Paul and sneered. "Go back and tell Edward not to use these dirty tricks. What is the point of bullying a wom

Ellena saw that Vincent really looked like he was going to sleep and asked unhappily, "Are you always like this in other people's homes?"Vincent closed his eyes and said slowly, "How is it?"Ellena asked, "You don't know how to write the word 'polite', right?""When friends talk about being polite, they see each other as strangers." Vincent turned around and changed into a comfortable position. It seemed that he did not intend to get up again."You are really not polite." Ellena muttered. She saw that Vincent was really lying down and could not do anything to him, so she could only turn around and go to the kitchen.Opening the refrigerator, Ellena looked inside. There were dishes inside, but she did not really want Vincent to do as he wished.What if he cheated in the future and ate at her house?Ellena thought for a while and took some vegetables and eggs from inside. She cooked two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles.She came out with two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles. She pl

Vincent was so bored that he wanted to paint his car this flashy pink.When he saw Ellena, he scolded her, "What kind of lousy place do you live in? I just can't find which building you live in."Ellena had never seen a man drive a pink sports car before. She walked around the car and asked, "Your own?""What else?" Vincent patted the car and tilted his head to look at Ellena. "Do you like it? I'll give it to you!"Ellena's mouth twitched. "No need.""If you really like it, I can really give it to you. I have a lot of cars!" Vincent's tone was as relaxed as treating her to a meal. It wasn’t like he wanted to give her a car worth more than a few million.Ellena glared at him. He shrugged. "Alright, get in the car."Ellena followed him into the car and showed him the way to the main entrance.Vincent parked the car and entered the neighborhood with her.Vincent's flashy pink sports car had attracted many people's attention. Those who could afford to drive such a car were not low in valu
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 767: A Sense of Crisis
Ellena paused for a moment and walked towards Edward's car.She looked around and saw that there was no one in the front row. She opened the door of the back seat and sat in it.After getting into the car, she did not look at Edward. She said in a business-like manner, "If you have something to say, quickly say it. I still have something to do."Edward seemed to have changed his posture. She felt the back of the chair shake gently.After that, Edward's deep voice slowly sounded in the carriage. "When you were looking for a lawyer, didn’t you do a basic background research? You think you can win a lawsuit by relying on a lawyer like Vincent? You’re too delusional.""I want to correct you. I am not delusional, but I trust him. I believe Vincent will win this lawsuit." Ellena knew that Edward had probably received a summons from the court."You blindly trust him. You are emotional!" The short words had an inexplicable sense of helplessness.Ellena turned around and looked at Edward. She

Ellena saw Chloe slide over in the wheelchair and quickly brought Elaine over. She supported Chloe's wheelchair and softly said, "You don't need to come out.""If I don't come out, how can I see this scene?" Chloe lowered her voice and looked in Ellena's direction. She glanced at Edward and Jasmine from the corner of her eye.After she finished speaking, she noticed Elaine also came and exclaimed in surprise. "Why is Ellie here too?""Aunt Chloe." Elaine called out obediently and her gaze landed on Chloe's cast on her leg. She asked curiously, "Do you feel pain?"Chloe touched her face and shook her head with a smile. "I don't feel pain."Elaine heard her and carefully touched her plaster cast leg. She then looked up to see Chloe's reaction.Chloe laughed so hard that she could not stop. She held Elaine's hand and lightly knocked on her leg twice and said, "I really don't feel pain. There is something wrapped inside and the things inside cannot be knocked inside."Elaine looked curiou
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 765: I Don't Remember You
Edward took out his phone and looked at it. The word "Jasmine" was displayed on it. He did not want to answer the phone at all, so he casually threw the phone to the side.He originally planned to put out the cigarette, yet now he continued smoking until it was only the butt left, then he pressed it out in the ashtray.After that, Edward reached out and picked up the phone that he had thrown away earlier.Just as he picked up the phone, another call came.It was still Jasmine's call.Edward answered the phone expressionlessly. He did not say a word and waited for Jasmine to speak up first.Jasmine asked reproachfully, "Why didn't you answer my phone?""I was in a meeting." Edward did not even blink his eyes as he lied, without changing his expression.Yet, Jasmine's anger subsided a little and her tone softened too. She said in an aggrieved manner, "Edward, I got injured today in the wedding dress store. . ."Edward turned on the hands-free, walked to his desk holding his phone in han

Vincent walked Ellena to the entrance of the residential area and waved at her from the side of the road. His tone was a little awkward. "Go back and have a good rest."Ellena looked at him in surprise. "You can go back."Vincent shrugged and stood on the side of the road without moving. He seemed to want to wait for her to get on the car before going back.Ellena did not look back. She got into the car and drove away.She saw from the mirror that Vincent had also walked towards the residential area.At this time, her phone rang. There was a new message that reminded her.Ellena slowed down the car and took the time to look. She found that it was the notification of the new email.Yesterday, Kevin said that this morning, he would find Jasmine's schedule for nearly a week and send it to Ellena. It was very likely that Kevin had sent her this email.Ellena did not open it immediately but put her phone back.The phone rang again as soon as she put it back.This time, someone called her.
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 763: Making a Child
Ellena originally did not want to respond to Vincent, but when she raised her head and met with his somewhat disappointed gaze, she still asked, "Why?""When I was born, my mother passed away during the childbirth. And my father had always been very busy. So, when I was young, I was basically the only one eating at home alone. After I went to high school, I went out to live. Since then, I have been eating outside. If my father by chance thought of me during festivals, he would also call me to go back and have a meal with him.”Vincent's tone sounded very calm, but his eyes betrayed him.His eyes were full of regret, disappointment, and unwillingness.Perhaps it was because he was disappointed in his father, Declan Reed. Or maybe it was because he was disappointed in himself.Ellena did not know how to guess, but she caught the main point. "You don't have a good relationship with your father?""He has so many adopted sons. Each one of them is better than me, like that Spencer." Vincent
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 762: It's so Sweet
Kevin had never been threatened like this before. Although he was a little reluctant, he could only swallow his anger.He took a deep breath and said, "I think Miss Smith would prefer to do it herself."Edward only said one sentence, "She doesn't need to get involved with these dirty things.""Do you mean that I just deserve to do these things?”Kevin really felt that Edward was a strange person. He never showed mercy to the people around him and exploited other as much as he wanted. As long as he could achieve his goal, he could be as cruel and merciless as possible.However, he was very attentive to Ellena. He was so considerate that it made people's hair stand on end."You should check it in your memory. Like I said, you can choose not to do it." Edward's tone was still calm.Even Kevin, who had been through a lot, was shocked by Edward's shamelessness.He was so angry that he immedietely hung up the phone and kicked the trash can beside him.Edward was not angry when Kevin hung up
