章節 414: An Unpleasant Conversation

"You silly girl, why are you so nervous?" Eric teased with a mischievous smile. He reached for the remote and played some lighthearted music, helping Ella relax a little.

In truth, Ella wasn't sure why she felt so tense. Perhaps it was the lingering tension, fear, and anxiety from the past few days. Everything she'd been through had left her feeling unlike herself. 

But Eric's fiery kisses gave her no time to dwell on such thoughts. 

After some passionate time together, both were drenched in sweat. They showered, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

Around midday, Lucas called personally, inviting them to lunch at the restaurant downstairs and suggesting they visit his home afterward. 

Ella initially wanted to decline, but Lucas's gentle and slightly pleading tone caught her off guard. Before she could respond, he had already hung up.
