After sometime, Ella wiped away tears from her face and walked away from Samuel, "I'm doing well now, and I plan to make a better life for myself. So I want you to go and never come to see me again." Free from Samuel's skepticism, or anyone else's really, she could finally live a happy life.
'She said she doesn't want to be bothered,' Samuel gasped. Once again in this moment, Samuel felt that heart-striking pain.
"Samuel, please, just leave me alone. It would be better for us to not see each other anymore." Ella was truly tired of the feeling of being mistrusted.
Samuel looked around and spotted a bench not far away from where they were. He took Ella by the arm and headed towards it.
He sat on it and then let Ella sit on his laps. Then he put her head on his shoulder, "Ella, we are meant to be together. That's something you can't deny." Feeling guilty, he fondled her long black hair. It was extremely slick and soft, making Samuel wonder what shampoo she used.
Ella cried even more when she heard Samuel's words, and she kept punching him on the chest and shoulders.
"No, you are insane. Samuel, I hate you. I don't want to be with you anymore." She felt lucky that she left with Daisy and gave birth to baby Jane.
She loved baby Jane more than anything else in this world, including her own life.
Cupping Ella's cheeks, Samuel kissed her lips, "I'm sorry, Ella." From then on, Samuel vowed to never mistrust Ella.
"I'll never forgive you!" She broke loose from his arms and stood up.
But Samuel pulled her back after she took a step away.
"Ella, you are the one who have been pursuiting me, remember? Now, let me be the one to pursuit you, okay?"
"Don't mention it! I was such a fool back then." Samuel's expensive suit was stained with Ella's tears.
He smiled bitterly and coaxed Ella, "You were no fool. You made me the luckiest guy in the world."
"Well, that's true." With Samuel's apology, compromise and sweet words, the atmosphere between them became lighter, but Ella still sobbed like a little girl.
From a distance, they seemed to be a passionate couple who were whispering.
"Indeed, I am the luckiest guy. Ella, will you forgive me this time?" Samuel put his head against hers. His heart overwhelmed with love.
'Should I forgive him?' Ella was at a loss. "It depends on how you treat me going forward, I guess!" She could only give this equivocal answer because she was afraid that Samuel might disappoint her again.
"I will be a good man for and to you." At the moment he said the words, he kissed her earlobe.
Stimulated, Ella jumped up, "Samuel, be careful, I might leave you because of that!" The woman glared at the man in front her.
"Come here."
"No. We need to set some ground rules!" Ella wheeled around and walked away, but soon she heard Samuel's footsteps. She quickened her steps, not wanting to walk with him.
Yet the footsteps quickened as well and both started trotting.
Samuel took two strides and hugged the woman from behind.
"Okay then, let's set rules." He would do whatever she asked.
Upon hearing that, Ella turned around and faced him, "First, don't touch me without my approval."
"But, I don't want to be a monk." He explained, pouting his lips and feigning sadness.
"Well, there's noting left to discuss."
"Wow, wait for a second. You said I'm a lechery man. If I don't act like one, then how can I be with you?" Samuel was afraid that she would actually make it a rule, so he wanted to talk her out of it in a glib way.
