Ella was so shocked that she immediately drew her elder brother closer to her, and said, "Eason, this is our own business. You can go back now!"
Eason glanced at his sister and then released Samuel from his grasp, not even changing the expression on his face. He warned Samuel, "I've taken you as my brother, but if you ever misbehave with Ella, then we'll have a problem with that!"
Eason uttered all these hurtful words just because they all knew that Samuel still loved his first girlfriend.
But he wondered how had Samuel stayed and slept with his sister. Rationally, they shouldn't have done such a thing. Samuel wasn't the sort of man that didn't have his sense of propriety. Eason thought it over carefully, but he still had no idea.
After Eason left, only Samuel and Ella remained in the apartment. Ella was a little restless when she was left alone with him.
"Samuel, please sit down!" said Ella. She then tensely fiddled with her fingers and didn't even dare to look at him in the eyes.
Samuel looked at the woman who was a little timid, denying his own speculation that Ella had taken the initiative to go to his hotel room that night.
He must've been the one who had come up with the idea!
"That evening, I was drunk, and I did something that hurt you, and I am sorry. But, Ella, at that time you already knew that I already loved someone else. You won't be happy if you'll marry me," said Samuel. He smoothed his short hair and then, still restless as he was, sat on the sofa in the living room.
With her eyes getting red and almost filling with tears, Ella, who now was excited by what he said, walked up to Samuel and held his large palm into hers. "No, Samuel. I'm willing..." she said. She was, indeed, more than willing to marry him.
When he heard her calling out his name in such an intimate manner of speaking, Samuel became even more upset.
He looked at the women in front of him, and he found that she wasn't so pure anymore, but more feminine. She wasn't the girl he used to know but, perhaps maybe she had changed into a real woman after that night she had spent with him...
Unexpectedly, Samuel nodded, and said, "I will go visit uncle Bo in the following two days."
Ella managed to hold back her tears and nodded eagerly, tightly holding on to Samuel's large palm with her hand.
Samuel stood up from the sofa, and said, "You should go to bed early. I will try to get everything ready as soon as possible."
When their hands were separated from each other, Ella suddenly felt empty. But, she was still very happy.
"Samuel, you drank alcohol tonight, so how about staying here for the night?" asked Ella. She was worried and looked at Samuel's face which was slightly flushed. Samuel turned his face towards her and glanced at her, who was in her pajamas, with a deep look in his eyes.
Ella now began to realize what she had just said, and she immediately began to explain herself. "I mean, there are two bedrooms here, and you can sleep in one of them..." Her face got very red, as if she had applied a blusher to it.
Samuel shook his head, and replied, "I will call a taxi to go home. As for the car, l'll ask my driver to come here and drive it away tomorrow."
After she saw Samuel leave, Ella felt relieved, and her eyes were filled with tears of joy. She was finally going to marry the man she loved!
The night grew late, and after Harry carried Lola with satisfaction to the big bed in the bedroom, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she heard the bathroom's door being closed, Lola, whose eyes were earlier closed, suddenly opened them again. She sat up in the bed, took out a clean set of pajamas and then dressed herself in them.
"Don't think that I will forgive you so easily! If I don't teach you a lesson this time, you will hook up with other women again. Humph!" thought Lola.
She then opened the bedroom's door, snuck into Nicole's bedroom and locked the door from the inside. She decided to sleep in Nicole's bedroom tonight and leave him tomorrow, not letting him even see his children!
