Chapter 291: Under Control

Eric carefully blow-dried Ella's hair, taking a small section at a time between his fingers before moving on to the next. His meticulous care made her smile, and the cloud of gloom that had hung over her all day finally lifted, revealing a sense of peace and happiness.

"Honey, you're so good to me!" Ella said sweetly. "I feel like I really hit the jackpot marrying you! Most women who marry into rich families have to sign contracts or something, like they're being tested to make sure they're not just after the money. But you've never doubted me, not even once."

Eric chuckled softly. "You're already wealthy yourself. Why would you care about my money?"

Ella's heart warmed even more, her eyes filled with affection as the gentle breeze from the hair dryer brushed her ears, causing them to flush a light red.
