Chapter 61 Matchmaking

Jenna looked Leo up and down.He seemed polite and decent, with a stable job, though he was a bit older. However, since Ella already had two children, finding someone slightly older wasn’t an issue. After all, the elders often said that older men were better at taking care of their families.Jenna's bold appraisal didn’t go unnoticed, though Leo didn’t seem bothered by it. It was just Jenna being herself—she was known for her tendency to value appearances, so taking a few extra glances at a handsome man was nothing unusual.Ella’s leg injury hadn’t fully healed, and standing for too long was difficult. She had to rely on Jenna to help her greet Leo. Luckily, Jenna had been practically living at Ella’s house these past few days and was already familiar with the layout of the kitchen and living room.Leo didn’t stay for long.Firstly, he wanted to avoid running into Mr. and Mrs. Kane. Although he didn’t think there was anything wrong with being there, he knew Ella didn’t want her par

Chapter 62 The ideal man

At this, Ella immediately shot a glance at the shoe cabinet by the door. Sure enough, a pair of sleek black stilettos was sitting there in all their inappropriate glory.She huffed. “See? I told you to stop wearing those!” Turning to Leo, she continued, “Leo, why don’t you take her home later? I’d feel much better knowing she’s not wobbling around in those ridiculous shoes.”Jenna's jaw dropped. “Wait, what?”Ella ignored her protest entirely, now addressing Leo with a sweet smile. “She doesn’t have any work obligations for the next few days, so it doesn’t matter what time she goes home. Just make sure she gets there safely.”Jenna blinked. Excuse me? Did I just get sold off like a secondhand piece of furniture?Her suspicions only grew stronger when she found herself walking side by side with Leo a few minutes later, heading down the stairs to his car.As they reached his sleek black sedan, Leo opened the passenger door for her. “Where do you live?” he asked, his tone calm yet firm.

Chapter 63 Is he trying to protect Amy?

"I know your answer now, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll help you in front of Ella," said Jenna.Leo smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I don’t care about these things that much. As long as I can be with her, I feel satisfied, no matter what my identity is."Jenna couldn’t help but be amazed. Is there really such a perfect man in the world? She didn’t believe it before meeting Leo, but now she was starting to believe it."It’s getting late, Miss Jenna. I won’t accompany you into the community. After all, you’re a celebrity. If someone takes a picture of us, it might cause trouble for you," said Leo as he got out of the car and opened the door for her.Unexpectedly, Jenna had already pushed the door open from the inside half a second earlier. He didn’t have time to dodge, and the door hit his leg.Leo sucked in a breath, his face twisting for a moment before quickly recovering with a smile.But Jenna noticed it and anxiously apologized, "Dr. Leo, are you okay? Did I hit you? Does it hur

Chapter 64 The Almighty President Lucas

“I don’t carry the burden of an idol. I didn’t go begging for likes in the fan group, did I?” Jenna shot back with confidence, her tone dripping with nonchalance.Ella rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. “Well, I can’t argue with that,” she muttered, opening her Instagram to like her post anyway. Anything to stop her from calling her out again.As she scrolled to the next post, her eyes snagged on something unexpected: Amy’s latest update. The caption read, "Wrapping up another episode. Hard work always pays off!" A picture of her beaming with the crew accompanied it.Jenna asked. “What are you gawking at?”“Nothing,” Ella lied, though her face betrayed her. He scrolled deeper into Amy’s feed, unable to resist snooping.Amy was quite the frequent poster, her feed filled with shots of herself working, glamorous selfies, and career pep talks. Yet, as she browsed, a frown tugged at her lips. Something didn’t add up. Amy had been stuck in recording sessions past midnight for days now

Chapter 65 Money grubber!

Ella's heart warmed at her father’s gentle tone as he smiled at her, his concern evident. “Take care of yourself, Ella. And don’t keep Mr. Montgomery waiting.”“Thanks, Dad.” She nodded before pushing open the door to the hospital room.The moment she stepped in, Ella was greeted by the sight of Lucas Montgomery reclining on the hospital bed, leisurely peeling an orange. It was like he didn’t have a care in the world. His sharp, piercing eyes locked on her, and he smirked.“What can I do for you, Mr. Montgomery?” she asked, her tone businesslike.Lucas’s smirk widened. “Since your leg injury is better now, shouldn’t you be returning to work?”Ella raised an eyebrow. “Actually, I was about to inform you. I’ll be back at Apex Corp tomorrow.”His chuckle was rich and infuriating. “Lila, I think you misunderstood something. You’re not just any employee. You’re my personal secretary. Your job is to follow my arrangements, and your boss is still in the hospital. Where do you think you’re go

Chapter 66 A KIND-HEARTED doctor

Ella glanced at Lucas and said, "If Mr. Montgomery is willing to reward me, I won’t object."Lucas replied, "Oh, I’m not willing."Ella knew he would say that, so she took the laptop directly to him without even looking at him.Lucas had fallen behind on work due to his injury and Zane’s absence at Apex Corp over the past few days. As soon as he opened the laptop, he became busy and didn’t stop until a sudden ringtone interrupted him. Ella instinctively took out her phone from her pocket but found the screen black. She then remembered she had set her phone to vibrate long ago. This ringtone could only belong to Lucas.Looking up, Lucas had indeed taken out his phone, but instead of answering it immediately, he frowned and stared at the screen, apparently hesitating.Ella thought he didn’t want her to hear the call, so she stood up and said, "Mr. Montgomery, you go ahead, I’ll go—"Before she could finish her sentence, her arm suddenly tightened as Lucas pulled her back to her seat

Chapter 67 Why don't you imitate Ella

Despite the endless buzz of gossip at Fairfield Hospital, one thing remained sacred: Dr. Leo, the stoic and brilliant head of the Cardiac Surgery Department, was untouchable. No one dared to say a bad word about him. Sure, the nurses whispered about his dazzling smile and his genius hands, but the juiciest bit? Apparently, Dr. Leo was still holding a candle for his ex-wife.Dan, had overheard it all. The story went like this: Leo had once been married—or almost married. There had been a beautiful wedding abroad, but the paperwork? Never filed back home. Ever since, Dr. Leo had stayed single, supposedly waiting for this mystery woman to come back. Romantic, sure. But Dan couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of woman could make this man—calm, confident, and devastatingly handsome—hold on for so long?“Dr. Leo.”The clear, melodic voice jolted Dan out of his thoughts. He turned just in time to see a stunning woman approach Dr. Leo. She looked familiar, though Dan couldn’t quite plac

Chapter 68

Ella was still wide awake, scrolling through her phone absentmindedly when Leo called her. She checked the time and immediately felt it was late. She was about to decline when Leo’s calm but serious voice came through, “I just received some information about Luke from a friend.”The moment Ella heard that name, she bolted upright in bed. “Where are you, Leo? I’ll come find you right away.”After hanging up, Leo leaned back in his chair at the cozy coffee shop, nodding at the barista. “Another cup of coconut latte, half sugar. Oh, and please pack this lady’s order to-go.”“Sure, sir, one moment.” The barista headed off while Leo gazed out the window. The streets of Fairfield gleamed under the city lights, alive with the hum of nightlife. Yet, even in its vibrance, autumn's chill seeped in, rustling the golden-brown leaves on the pavement.Fifteen minutes later, Ella rushed into the coffee shop, her disheveled appearance proof of how quickly she left home. Wrapped in a coat thrown o

Chapter 69 I would only bully one person

Ella didn’t sleep a wink that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the haunting memories from six years ago came flooding back, vivid and unrelenting. By morning, she dragged herself out of bed, dark circles under her eyes betraying her sleepless night.As she stumbled into the kitchen, her little chatterbox, Kaia, was already bouncing around like an energizer bunny. The moment Kaia saw her, she stopped mid-bite of her toast and tilted her head. "Mommy, did you stay up late working again?"Ella gave her best “I’m totally fine” smile, though she felt far from it. “No, sweetie. Mommy just had a little trouble sleeping.”Kaia, ever the tiny detective, narrowed her eyes. "Insomnia? Is it because of Uncle Lucas again?"Before Ella could respond, her son Kai, with his all-knowing look, chimed in. "Mommy, is Uncle Lucas giving you insomnia?"Kaia gasped dramatically, her big brown eyes widening. "Huh?! Did that bad Uncle Lucas bully you again? I knew he’s a big meanie!"Ella sighed, rubb

Chapter 70 The Lopez Family again?!!

Ella appeared lost in thought. “Really? Who could have bought him?”“As far as I know, it’s likely the Lopez family.”“The Lopez family?” Ella deliberately asked, “Which Lopez family? I’ve never had any feud with anyone surnamed Lopez.” At this point, Ella suddenly raised her head, pretending to be shocked. “Mr. Montgomery, you’re not talking about Amy Lopez…”“This matter should have nothing to do with her.”Ella’s heart skipped a beat. Lucas was so anxious to clear Amy’s name before she even mentioned who it was. Was he trying to protect Amy after all?If so, why did he pretend to be indifferent or even disgusted with Amy in front of her before?Lucas had no idea what Ella was thinking and continued, “If it was her doing, she shouldn’t be so calm knowing that I was injured.”Lucas had been hiding his injury from everyone, even the company, saying that he was on a business trip. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid trouble, and on the other hand, he wanted to test Amy’s attitude.Fr
