President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 19

"Yeah, men are dicks. Most women are destined to encounter with several love rats…" Alice got a pillow and lied down on the sofa.

Ella looked up, "You have told me that you divorced with David, then why did he come to you?"

Alice turned to her, answered helplessly, "He came to tell me that next month on his grandfather's 80th birthday, I had to pretend with him, because grandpa is a very traditional sort of person that he won't allow us to divorce."

"His grandpa was that wide in control?" Ella was a little surprised.

"We haven't mentioned our divorce to our parents, not to mention the grandpa." Alice answered with a bitter smile.

Ella felt down in heart. It was the same for her. The divorce was still a secret to their parents.

But at least Alice managed to divorce and was free now.

whereas Ella hadn't moved to that stage. Benjamin's threatening for the five million yuan bothered her deeply."Ella, where did you sleep last night?"

Ella brought her attention back at the sudden question. She replied vaguely, "Oh, yesterday I came across with a college classmate. We had a pleasant chat late to the night, so I stayed at her house. "

Alice suddenly sat up and squinted at her. "You know how to lie now! You thought I would believe it? You didn't go home to get your luggage last night? Did you have a relapse with Benjamin?"

Ella said helplessly, "Sure enough I can never hide anything from you. I did spend the night at someone else's house last night, but it wasn't Benjamin. I didn't get my luggage back and I don't want to explain specifically. I'll buy new ones anyway instead of returning there for my luggage. I took out all the important things like my passport and ID card. There's nothing else mattering for me."

Noticing the deep sorrow in Ella's eyes, Alice surely understood that Ella had experienced something unpleasant with Benjamin, so she stopped her enquiring.

"You told me that you felt sick last night and indeed you still look pale. I'm alright now so you can just go to rest."

Ella stood up, "Shall I help you to go upstairs?"

"Alright, you help me there"

After supporting Alice to the upstairs, Ella returned to the bathroom downstairs for a shower.

Before going to bed, she took some cold medicine again and turned off the lights.

She finally fell asleep after scanning through the messages and finding no more harassing text from the hateful man.

A good night's sleep.

The next day after getting up early, Ella felt t much better. It was good to be young for the ability to recover form illness.

She ran upstairs to see Alice, wondering if she needed help.

"No, just go to work. I've asked a female secretary from my dad's company to take care of me" Alice said.

Ella nodded in relief. When she was just about to go, she returned again to ask, "How is your mother? Did she hurt badly?"

"It's OK, she sprained her waist and needed a month's rest, and this afternoon she will be discharged from the hospital and return home."

"Good… I'm really leaving?" Ella was still a little worried about her.

Alice raised her hands to worship her, "I beg you my dear sister. Just go. I am not disabled!"

"Well, then I'll leave you alone, really. I'll come back tonight and bring you something yummy!"

After leaving the community, Ella walked five minutes to the subway station. Just as she took the subway, Benjamin's call reached her.

"Ella Williams, have dinner with me tonight. My mother is here." Benjamin was driving with Bluetooth on.

Ella replied indifferently, "So what? It's enough that you accompany her. I won't go anyway."
