Chapter 23: Don't leave me every night
When she woke up the next morning, Ella looked around. David went to work. She wondered. 'Did I sleep in the bed? How is this possible?' She slept on the sofa every time, but the next morning, she slept on the bed again.
'David carried me to bed? No, he doesn't have to because the camera has been removed from the bedroom.' Ella sighed, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
In the dining room, Ella sat quietly eating a breakfast of bread, eggs, and sausage. She didn't dare raise her head to look at her mother-in-law even though she was the one who gave Rika's blood, but her mother-in-law didn't change her attitude and thoughts towards her, still showing her displeasure.
“Ella, is David already at work?” Mr. Harry asked when he didn't see David having breakfast.
"Yes, Grandpa."
"You should bring him a box of lunch today, he must be busy and don't have time to eat."
"Yes, Grandpa," Ella said.
“Your husband is busy but you are still not helping. Are you worthy to be a wife?" Mrs. Emma said with a scowl.
"I'm sorry." Ella lowered her head and said softly.
"If you can't be David's wife, get a divorce."
Ella bit her lower lip when she heard that statement from her mother-in-law. She also wants to divorce David to return him to his free life, but the three years are not over yet.
“You are the mother-in-law, why do you always want them to divorce? You should support this couple, right?” Mr. Harry looked at his daughter-in-law with an annoyed expression.
Mrs. Emma sat quietly after each nagging her father-in-law.
Ella prepares lunch boxes and brings them to the company. When she saw David busy working through the window, she waited outside, because she didn't want to disturb him.
Ella waited quite a while. She only woke up when she heard the door open and David stepped out. He asked her surprised. "What are you doing here? Why don't you enter the room?"
"I know you haven't had breakfast so I brought you a box of lunch, but when I see you're busy, I don't want to bother you." Ella stood up from her chair, explaining.
David took Ella's hand and led her into the room. "Come in." He closed the door behind him.
Ella put the lunch box on the table and said. “You take a break and eat. Boxed rice cooked by myself.”
David looked at the food decorated on top of the rice, whispering praise. “Looks so pretty.” He scooped a spoonful of rice with a spoon and put it in his mouth. "Very delicious. I know you cook very well.”
“If you like, I make lunch boxes daily and bring them to your office,” Ella said.
"Okay." David nodded, his tone cheerful.
While David was eating, Ella checked the documents for him. In the afternoon, both of them went home.
In the bedroom, Ella did not see David. She heard the water running from the bathroom so she thought he was taking a shower.
Ella turned on the TV, she was sitting on the sofa watching a movie on TV.
Moments later, David came out of the bathroom. He looked towards the bed and then at Ella sitting on the sofa, surprised to ask her. "Why don't you sit in bed and watch TV?"
“Um… I'll sleep here too. It's okay, I'm fine." Ella said in a simple voice.
"Why?"
“Since we are not real husband and wife, sharing a bed is not appropriate and the camera has long since been removed.”
“Who says you can decide that?” David frowned.
“Are you going to do something wrong in the contract?”
“In the contract, you are my wife. Husband and wife must sleep together. Come on." David was already sitting on the bed, waving to her.
"I don't want to," Ella tells herself not to have feelings for David, they will divorce after three years anyway.
"You're my wife, that can't be changed and I've agreed to that too."
David talked nonsense. Ella is angry at his words. She stomped her feet, furiously climbing onto the bed.
As soon as she climbed into bed, David quickly pulled her close to him and kissed her on the lips. His hand was on her waist.
David's kiss made Ella's mind go blank, she forgot all her anger before and accepted the kiss.
“Please agree to sleep next to me every night,” David said, looking deeply into Ella's eyes.
“I…you had Maria?”
“Maria is not my girlfriend, I see her as a little sister.' David lifted her chin.
“But she doesn't see you as a brother. Her friend is her husband.”
“The decision is up to me. Don't talk about this matter, I will agree to whatever you ask, as long as you don't leave me every night." He used his left hand to stroke her hair, while his right hand was still clutching her waist.
They lie down. Ella lay beside David. He held her in his arms, covering both of them with the blanket.
“Go to the amusement park with me this weekend,” David whispered.
"Why? Aren't you busy or have a meeting?" Ella raised her head and asked.
"No. I'm free this weekend, I'll take you out. Since we got married, I haven't taken you anywhere." David looked at her with passionate eyes.
Sunday morning.
“Do you have any plans for today?” Mr. Harry asked David.
"I'm taking my wife to the amusement park today, okay Grandpa?" David replied with a smile.
"Sure. The two of you should enjoy your youth. Be close to your wife and take care of her.” Mr. Harry said.
"Yes, Grandpa," David said and went into his bedroom.
Ella came out of the dressing room. She changed her outfit and put on a little makeup. She wore a knee-length pink lace dress, her hair hanging down her back. Snow white skin, soft red lips. David looked unblinking. He was completely amazed at her pure beauty.
Ella slaps his face a few times. "How do I look?" She asked when she saw that David didn't react. It was obvious that his gaze was locked on her body.
"Beautiful." David couldn't help but lean down and kiss Ella's soft lips.
Startled by his sudden action, Ella wanted to push him away but he cupped her face, kissing her passionately. His irresistible kiss made her sink more and more into a feeling of infatuation.
When David's hand slid down Ella's chest, she stopped him. Do not. I don't want to now."
David lost interest, he withdrew his hand and helped her smooth her hair before leaving the mansion.
In the car, Ella stared out the window. She doesn't want to talk to David. She tries not to love him but his actions always make her lose control. Just now, David kissed her, she almost fell in love with him. She couldn't resist everything from him.
