Her daughter was already married, and her son had also taken a wife. However, both children were filial and were overwhelmed with mixed emotions upon seeing their mother who had been missing for over a decade. They decided to bring her back home.
However, the maid was unwilling to return home. She was determined to help Ella completely bring down Brianna. Only when Brianna was utterly defeated and unable to retaliate would she feel at ease.
Otherwise, if Brianna knew she was still alive, she would definitely try to kill her!
"Are you really confident that you can make Brianna and Robert turn on each other?" Eric looked at Ella’s delicate, peach-blossom-like face, a hint of allure in her gaze, though her eyes remained cold.
The grudge of Brianna killing Ella’s mother could not go unavenged. Ella would never forgive her easily!
"I’m not sure, but you can lend me a hand when the time comes, okay?"
Ella smiled, the coldness in her eyes lessening significantly.
"Alright, but... you have to serve me well tonight, in a nurse outfit, how about that?"
Eric teased, raising his handsome eyebrows. Ella scoffed at him, "Ugh, you’re always thinking about that!"
Eric laughed heartily, feeling genuinely happy and delighted.
Since returning to the country, Eric only laughed when he was with Ella.
In the Nelson family, there was constant scheming and vigilance. He couldn’t stand that disgusting mother and son duo... he couldn’t bring himself to smile there.
Ella roughly explained her plan to Eric, earning much of his admiration.
"This plan is excellent. If we keep exhausting Robert and add Emily into the mix, their relationship will crumble like a mountain. No amount of tenderness can save Robert’s heart."
Eric chuckled, "You’re so skilled, I think I need to learn a few tricks from you!"
Just thinking about that scoundrel Grace made Eric extremely disgusted. He wasn’t acting against her now, just waiting for the best moment.
"Hmph, your methods are far more sophisticated than mine. When Mr. Nelson makes a move, it’s unparalleled!"
"Sweetheart, are you talking about... in bed?"
"Eric, you’re incorrigible!" Ella blushed, put down her utensils, and pouted, "I’m full, and fed up!"
Eric burst out laughing. Ella had eaten almost two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup, yet she pretended to be still hungry?
Back at their new house, Eric personally cooked dinner for her, making Ella feel overjoyed.
Ella and Eric took a walk in the garden outside. With no one else living around, it was incredibly quiet, and only four bodyguards were guarding the villa.
Hand in hand, they strolled along the cobblestone path, surrounded by blooming flowers bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, which cast a warm orange hue around them.
The scenery was so perfect, so warm.
Ella looked at their shadows, her lips curving into a slight smile.
"After you graduate from college, let’s have kids. A few kids running around here would make it so lively," Eric said with a light laugh.
"I’m not having kids that soon... I want to work first..." Ella mumbled.
"You’re already the boss lady, and you still want to work for a few thousand bucks?" Eric sneered.
Ella’s face flushed, "I-I... then I’ll run a business!"
Eric found it amusing, "What business can a woman like you run? Business involves socializing and dealing with all kinds of people in the commercial world. You’ll face all sorts of characters."
"Hmph, I’ll borrow your reputation. Who would dare mess with me? Who would dare not give me face?" Ella said proudly, raising her eyebrows with a smirk.
Eric rubbed his forehead, "My dear wife, you’re so clever. You’ve thought of things even I haven’t!"
"Hahaha... Mr. Nelson is decisive and ruthless, unmatched in his methods. Even if I don’t mention your name, everyone knows I’m Mrs. Nelson. Who would dare touch me?"
Ella grew increasingly proud, feeling her future was incredibly bright.
She thanked the heavens for giving her such a wonderful and perfect man.
If only he could be as gentle and devoted to her for a lifetime!
"Eric, if one day you grow tired of me, would you cheat?" Ella pondered this question, feeling a bit troubled.
Love eventually turns into familial affection.
Could his loyalty truly withstand countless temptations?
Eric, such an exceptional man, didn’t need to chase women; they would likely come to him like moths to a flame.
Could Eric always refuse those women?
Eric smiled and pinched her nose, his eyes full of indulgent affection. "Silly girl, why would I look at other women? Is my taste really that low?"
Ella smiled. His current promises couldn’t guarantee the future. She decided not to dwell on it.
A woman must be independent and strong. Even without a man, she could live a wonderful life!
Eric wouldn’t let Ella go home no matter what. She reluctantly called home, telling Robert she was staying over at Chloe’s.
Robert naturally didn’t mind. He was busy dealing with two women and had no time to worry about his perfect daughter.
Ella stood by the large swimming pool, wearing a very sexy, revealing swimsuit. But it felt a bit chilly near the sea, not to mention they were in the mountains.
"Come down, girl!" The man in the pool swam a lap, showing off his athletic physique, then leaned against the edge, smiling at her.
Ella shook her head, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms. "But... it feels a bit cold!"
"I filled this pool at noon, so it’s not too cold. Come on down!"
Eric gave a wicked smile, his face lit up with a mischievous charm. His hair was slicked back, and crystalline water droplets slowly rolled down his face.
His solid chest was half-submerged in the water, adding to his allure, making him even more irresistibly handsome.
Ella hesitated, dipping one foot into the water. It wasn’t cold!
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her foot and pulled hard. Ella screamed as she fell into the pool!
Before she could hit the water, Eric swiftly caught her, pinning her against the pool edge, kissing her passionately!
Ella gasped for air, her swimsuit now soaking wet, clinging to her body. The thin fabric pressed tightly against Eric, making her tremble with the heat of his body.
Even though Eric didn’t say anything, she knew what was coming next.
Being with him, this man always seemed incredibly hungry for her, even while cooking dinner earlier...
