Chapitre 177: Tough to Handle

"Ella, it's your uncle! It's been so many years, and you've grown so beautiful. If it weren't for your cousin bringing me here, I might not have recognized you!" Frank said with a warm smile.

Ella glanced at Leah with a calm expression and gave a slight nod. "So, you're Carter Miss's family. A pleasure to meet you."

Eric, with his signature devilish smile, wrapped an arm around Ella's slender waist, causing Leah's heart to race. She couldn't help but think how perfect it would be if she were the one standing by his side instead.

Leah smiled confidently, her eyes full of determination. Someday, she was sure, she would be the woman beside him.

"Yes, Ella, this is my dad and mom, and this is my brother. We've been waiting here just for you!" Leah said quickly, trying to keep the mood light.
