Ella was so frustrated that she was in no mood to do anything. Then she decided that she couldn't be the only miserable one in the room, and so she turned to Eason and said, "Brother, how could you still hang around like this when Anna is about to be snatched away by others?"
"By whom?" Eason paused for a second and stared back at Ella.
Ella was actually bluffing. To prevent her brother saw through her, Ella looked down at the magazine in her hands and replied as casually as she could, "There was a CEO of some company. He was chasing after Anna as I recalled. He asked her out for dates for a few times, having dinner or something. But it's not your business since you don't care about Anna anyway."
Ella was really anxious for her brother. Either he liked Anna or he didn't. What's the dawdling all about?
Eason, however, was obviously not pleased with what he just heard. How dare Anna go out with other men behind his back? "Well. I see." Reclining on the couch, Eason mumbled and went back to play with his nephew.
"Seriously, Eason. I don't understand how can you be even more troublesome than I am. Go for her if you really like her. Otherwise don't blame her for having blind dates with other men."
Blind date? Very well. That's another one on top of her other crimes.
"Who told you I like her?" Eason was the one who had always been chased by women. He was too proud to admit that he had fallen in love with someone.
Besides, Anna had never said that she liked him. So why should he be the one to express his love first?
"Well, maybe she really likes you. You know what? She even told others that you were her finance last time in the mall. Such a shame. It's all her own wishful thinking!"
Eason sprang up immediately from the couch and leaned closer to Ella with Jerry still in his arms. And he asked eagerly, "Did she really say that? Who did she tell?"
Ella was absorbed in the collections designed by Eason. The clothes were absolutely stunning!
She looked at Eason. He looked cheerful and eager to know. But she said, "Didn't you just say you don't like her? Then why do you care?" He was such a liar.
Eason didn't ask further, but he had secretly come up with a plan.
He turned to Jerry and muttered, "Now Jerry, how about I find you an auntie? How's that, huh?" Eason remembered those days when his mother was alive. She actually devoted herself to urging him to find a wife and get married. And he also remembered how annoying he felt she was. And now she was not there anymore and there was no one who would ever push him again like his mother did. Somehow Eason felt something had gone forever from his life with his mother, and he was quite not used to the situation all of a sudden.
He knew how much his mother was fond of Anna when she was alive. So Eason smoothly took it as an excuse to persuade himself into what he was about to do. In order to complete his mother's last wish, Eason had decided that he would find a way to work things out between him and Anna!
In the days that followed, Eason was busy designing various styles of clothes for his nephew.
And Ella was indulging herself in her brother's collections as well.
Eason's company in France was quite large, but not as large as his personal studio. There were at least hundreds of sample garments designed by Eason himself.
Ella could try on whatever she liked in the studio. And it helped her to recover from what happened earlier.
She chose a midnight blue dress while Eason was taking care of her son. There were many tassels and hallow-carved elements on the dress. Putting on a black hat, Ella suddenly felt like a supermodel who was about to rock the ramp.
Feeling good about the whole package, Ella took a few selfies and then took Jerry over from Eason to take another one with both of them.
Eason was actually kind of camera-shy. Unless for the promotion of his work, he seldom took any photos, let alone such silly selfies.
Anyway, the photo Ella posted on Weibo later turned out to be quite lovely.
Ella was making a face while holding Jerry in her arms. And the little one was showing the camera his shiny little white teeth. Standing beside them, Eason was caressing Jerry's head and smiling. He was also indicating that it was Ella who forced him into this.
Eason then downloaded the photo and edited it with Photoshop. He cut Ella away from the picture and added some words saying, "Jerry, now where's mother?"
Immediately, a fan commented with the original picture posted by Ella and said, "Ella is here!".
