Million dollar bride

Chapter 24: He will never love you



Inside the play area, Ella immediately ran to the stuffed animal area. She put the coin in the tiny hole next to it. The coin mourned, and she began to pick it up. Picked up dozens of times and still can't. Sweat beaded on her forehead. Ella reached into her pocket, pulled out one last coin, and clasped her hands in prayer before putting it in.
Ella was about to pick it up when David spoke. "Let me."
Ella stood beside her, wide-eyed. David picked it up deftly, then waved the plush rabbit back and forth in front of her eyes. She opened her mouth, in disbelief. He only picked it up once and succeeded. She was a little embarrassed.
David shoved the stuffed rabbit into Ella's hand and then pulled her hand to buy a game ticket. Ella always chooses thrilling games such as roller coasters, and visiting haunted houses… While playing with the ferris wheel, the ferris wheel gradually lifts Ella, she feels like she is about to touch the sky. She looked through the window, admiring the blue sky. Clouds as white as snow. The wind blows cool. Relaxed soul. This feeling is great.
They walked around and saw an ice cream shop, Ella pulled David's hand in. Ice cream is Ella's favorite.
Ella ate ice cream while playing with her teddy bear. David ordered a cup of coffee. Although this bunny was not due to Ella's effort, she did not want to thank David. Talent has to be served to everyone, it's not too much for her to use only a little of his talent to gain her advantage. And David didn't seem to ask for anything either.
“Sit still!”
David suddenly spoke, making Ella jump. Thinking that the ice cream shop was surrounded by terrorists or robbers, she sat motionless. Then David used his hand to wipe the smear of cream on the corner of her lips. His hand was so warm.
"Done." David laughed.
Ella blushed and lowered her head to eat ice cream. From then until she left the bar, she did not dare to look up.
In the afternoon, they left. David drove to a place without telling Ella. When the car stopped in front of a strange house. Grass and flowers covered the roof. Although the house is quite small, it brings a feeling of comfort and irresistible sweetness.
David got out of the car and opened the door for Ella. She looked at the house, curious. "Where is this?
“Our secret place.” David raised his hand to signal Ella to hold his hand.
Ella held his hand without hesitation. They entered the house. The interior is specially designed with flexible curves that match the angle of the house. There is a couch in the living room and a flat-screen television is hung on the wall. The furniture looks new and the decor is neat and clean.
The house has a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Cozy and comfortable. Like the little house in her hometown.
“This is my secret house, I bought it two years ago. Whenever I'm tired, I usually come here to relax. But I can't live here forever because I'm the heir to Anthony's family so I have to stay in Anthony's mansion later. Only when I have free time do I come here?” David handed Ella a bunch of keys, instructing. “This place will belong to you, come here to relax anytime you want.”
Leaving her in the living room, looking at the layout of the house, David went into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and pulled out some chips and two cans of soft drinks. He took them to the living room and gave them to Ella.
David took the remote control, turned on the television and they watched a TV series together.
“Does she know this place?” Ella broke the silence and asked.
“I told you this place is my secret, even my mother doesn't know. Don't mention her again." David said in an annoyed voice.
Hearing him say that, she sat a little further away from him. She reached for the soft pillow and hugged it to her lap. She leaned to the other side.
David saw Ella's strange behavior, and he asked her in surprise. “Why are you avoiding me?”
Ella just glanced at him and then focused on the television, answering. "Not available. It's fine if I sit like this."
David didn't say another word, he focused on watching the movie. After two hours, he turned to see her fast asleep. He carried her into the room. Looking at her lips, he wanted to kiss them. But just as he touched his lips to hers, his phone rang in his pocket.
Maria called. He pondered whether to answer the phone or not. He came out of the bedroom and decided to answer Maria's call.
"Wazzup?" He asked in a cold voice.
“I want to go shopping, can you come with me?”
"Can't you just go by yourself?" he asked while sitting down on the couch in the living room.
"It's been a while since I went shopping with you, just this once," Maria begged.
"I'm busy right now, I can't go," David spoke in a simple voice without any emotion on all sides.
Unable to force David to go shopping with her, Maria angrily turns off her phone.
Aeon Mall shopping mall.
"Miss Rika, isn't that Maria?" Rika's butler said when she saw a girl in a yellow mini skirt with curly hair choosing an outfit at one of Aeon Mall's popular stores.
Rika looked in the direction her butler spoke. Her face darkened when she saw a girl with flashy makeup.
Suddenly she had an idea. She walked into the store where Maria was choosing her clothes and sat not far from her. Rika stared at Maria's serious face.
Sensing someone was looking at her, Maria turned her head and looked at Rika with a smirk.
Maria curled her lips and approached Rika who was sitting on the sofa. “Hello, future husband. Long time no see. Do you also go shopping?”
“Who is your future brother-in-law? I tell you, I already have a sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is Ella.” Rika arrogantly replied.
Maria went crazy as she tried to control herself with a smile on her face. “Your mother never accepted Ella as her daughter-in-law. They'll get a divorce soon and I'll take Ella's place."
A few people watched them confront.
“They love each other very much and they are not going to divorce. My brother will make my mother accept Ella as her daughter-in-law.” Rika said in a calm voice.
Maria kept her smiling face and replied to Rika. “I will make David love me. You know, we get along well. He was only temporarily blinded by Ella. The person he loves is me.” She said without shame.
"When? Did my brother say he loves you? I remember he only saw you as his friend.” Rika tilted her head and asked.
“If so, then bet. If I make David love me then you must kneel at my feet.” Maria said confidently.
Rika pursed her lips. "No need to bet because I know for sure that I will be the winner because my brother will never love you."
Maria squeezed her hand. She bit her lip angrily.
