Kapitel 170: An Act of Self-Sacrifice

Ella felt a wave of frustration wash over her, thinking that men really could be as flirtatious, fickle, and lighthearted as the male lead in the movie.

She shook off Eric's hand and stomped back into the cabin, her footsteps echoing her annoyance.

Eric chuckled to himself. He hadn't expected Ella to get upset over such a small thing. But this was what he considered normal behavior in a relationship. Too much rationality and calmness could sometimes make a person seem like they weren't fully invested. Only when a woman truly cares about a man would she get upset over a simple joke.

This wasn't pettiness—it was a sign that she cared deeply.

Eric followed her back into the cabin, only to be surprised when he saw Ella sitting next to Rachel, both engrossed in their own games.
