Luke doesn't hate her, does he? Ella realized she might be a little slow on the uptake. Reflecting on his behavior over the past few days, she concluded… staying here might not be a good idea. If Luke started acting like Henry, things could get complicated.
Luke wasn't inherently bad, just cold and distant toward her, likely as a form of self-protection.
But in just a few days apart from Eric, she found herself missing him every moment.
Even if he was busy, seeing him at night would be enough to help her sleep better.
So, Ella made a sudden decision—to return to Country S the next day.
When she shared her plan with Lucas, he didn't object. He knew her heart was with Eric, so he immediately arranged two tickets and planned to accompany her back to Country S.
As they discussed, Luke happened to pass through the living room.
