As Ella's bag and phone were all lost, Samuel took her to buy a new bag and phone at the mall after dinner.
Ella also selected two wallets similar in design and pattern for them. Her purse was white and his wallet was black.
Samuel paid for all the items. So that was a gift for both of them.
Ella stared at Samuel to find out if he didn't like her selection. His expression was not impatient but relaxed.
Ella was relieved that he liked it.
She was delighted with his reaction.
Then they went back to the villa after shopping.
With central heating always on, the room was warm even in winter. Ella went looking for Samuel after she took a shower.
After checking the calendar, she realised that she was at the beginning of her ovulation period.
Didn't Samuel want to have a daughter? She could make this happen.
Ella decided to do that. She put down the phone and applied the moisturiser that was on the dressing table.
She even sprayed her favorite perfume, a faint rosy smell, sent by Lola from Bulgaria.
It was extremely expensive and she liked it. Although she didn't like using it, for her dear Samuel, she would do anything that made him smile. And he did like the smell of the perfume. Ella smirked and walked towards the study room.
Ella opened the door and looked inside carefully.
Samuel was on the phone when Ella came in. He knew it was her.
Ella opened and closed the door quietly. She wanted to surprise him, and so put her hands over his eyes.
Ella didn't know Samuel was smiling. He held her hand and pulled her into his arms.
He kissed her hair and took in her scent, smelling that rose-scented perfume that he liked.
"Yeah, I know. I'll contact you tomorrow." Samuel didn't want her to overhear what he was talking about, so he hung up.
Ella put her arms around his waist.
"Samuel!" She said gently in a shy voice.
Samuel let her sit on his legs.
He smelled and played with her hair. "You smell good." Ella was usually fragrant, but tonight, she smelled divine.
She kissed his lips softly.
Samuel sat still and thought, what a beautiful and attractive woman she was.
From the look in her eyes, Samuel knew where the night was heading. He hugged Ella tightly, and savoured the moment, trying to fight away the thoughts of what had happened to her. She deserved his carefulness.
Samuel held her in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.
Both Samuel and Ella were affectionate and passionate that night.
Ella woke up at lunch time the next day, in a pleasant mood.
She had one goal, to ask Sum what he was doing in the hotel.
His answer was a deciding factor as to whether they would continue being friends.
