Ella was startled. She thought of her discomfort and blushed instantly. "Get out, get out, what are you doing in here?"
"Didn't you just call me? Have you already forgotten?" Leaning against the bathroom door, Samuel looked at her longingly and responded in his natural voice.
She didn't say anything. After an awkward two minutes of silence, Ella finally spoke," I need you to buy me something, will you?"
Samuel didn't say anything but looked at her doubtfully.
Ella spoke softly," Tampons?"
They made eye contact, an awkward moment settling between them.
Ella witnessed Samuel's good looks becoming momentarily darker.
"Er..."
'Would he deliberately take the opportunity not to buy them and tease her?' she wondered, 'Is he unwilling to run errands for her?'
"Beg me to help you." Samuel looked at Ella triumphantly. Ella's facial expression changed and became darker.
Ella's beautiful eyes looked at Samuel in anger. If given the chance, she would burn him alive.
Grinding her teeth, she said," Don't dream of taking advantage of me!"
Samuel did not say anything. He closed the bathroom door and pretended to leave. Ella was stunned by his action.
The bedroom was quiet for a few minutes. Ella shouted," Well, you win then. I beg you to help me, please!"
Standing behind the bathroom door, Samuel smiled," Okay. I'll be back!"
Ella was speechless. Samuel walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
'That damn bastard!' she thought. "Bastard!" she voiced out her thoughts.
In the mean time, Ella waited until she almost fell asleep where she sat. Then she heard someone outside the door.
The bathroom door opened and a black tote bag was handed to her.
She opened the bag. It contained several packets of tampons. They were her favorite tampon brands. She looked at Samuel as he closed the door, in surprise. 'Was it a coincidence? How did he know the brands she used?' she wondered.
There were also two pairs of underwear placed underneath the tampons. Ella was so touched by his kindness that her eyes became wet.
If this had happened four years ago, she would have rushed into his arms and told him she loved him.
But now times had changed and everything had changed.
She was not the same person anymore. So was Samuel. Such was life.
By the time Ella came out of the bathroom, Samuel was already in bed, looking at his phone.
When Samuel saw her coming out, he switched off his phone.
He picked up a glass of hot water and handed it to her," You should drink it while it's hot."
It was a glass of brown sugar water. 'Why did he do this for me?' she wondered as she took the glass. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Samuel got into bed and switched on his phone. He started reading the latest legal news.
Ella drunk the brown sugar water in silence. She was looking at Samuel and forgot to put the glass back down.
Samuel put down his phone and pointed to the empty space on the bed for Ella to sit down.
Ella looked confused at first. Then she regained her senses and put the empty glass on the table next to the bed. She got into the bed and lay down quietly next to Samuel. After sometime, she moved closer and fell into his arms.
For a while, she struggled to free herself but Samuel held her tightly. He didn't let her go no matter how
much she struggled.
"Samuel, I don't want you to hold me."
Ella knew Samuel's charm very well. She convinced herself to keep her distance.
Still holding her, Samuel turned back to switch off the bedside lamp on his side. The bedroom fell in total darkness.
He kissed Ella's red lips, tasting the sweetness of her mouth.
Of course Ella resisted, but Samuel did not let her go. Instead, he pressed Ella beneath him.
He held her hands on the sides of her head.
After a long time, the whole bedroom was filled with their passionate moans. Samuel fell off her, and his hoarse voice rang in her ears," Goodnight."
Ella closed her eyes and steadied her breathing. Then Samuel sat up beside her.
She was about to ask him what he was about to do when Samuel went to the bathroom. She realized that she didn't have to ask.
She had lived with Samuel before and knew why he was going into the bathroom.
As she expected, Samuel was taking a shower.
... Ella was so sleepy. She turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
At the Vision Bay Hotel, Today is Melody's 84th birthday. Her grandson, Samuel, had booked the biggest room in advance.
At noon, many of the relatives and friends were invited.
Melody, dressed in a dark blue classic dress and she was surrounded by people in the private lounge. The room was full of cheers and laughter.
Viola, in a light purple dress, was next to Melody. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were touted by everyone present.
"You and my aunt have a very good relationship, Viola. I've never seen you argue in all these years." Vincent's cousin held the smiling Viola's hand in admiration.
In fact, she was right. Melody and Viola had a very good relationship. They had lived in harmony except for their conflicts about Samuel.
Though Viola was temperamental, Melody was more powerful. She put Viola in her place.
Usually, when Viola met Melody, she did not dare talk back to her. So there was no big contradiction between them.
At that moment, Melody was laughing cheerfully," My daughter-in-law is capable and free. Over the years, she has been like my own daughter."
"Mom, I should say that you have always been tolerant towards me and never too particular about small things. This is the real reason we live in harmony." Viola's words were half-truth but nonetheless, sincere and polite.
Viola thought that Melody was okay except that she loved Ella too much.
It was a silent understanding that neither of them would mention Samuel's marriage. It was the only thing that the two women did not agree on.
It wasn't long before the conversation turned to Samuel," Melody, where's your grandson and great- grandson? Why haven't we seen them for so long? When will they show up?" The questions were from Melody's former colleague. They were on good terms.
Melody laughed even more at the mention of grandchildren and great-grandchildren," Samuel took Jerry out early today. I reckon they'll be here soon."
The former colleague asked the old lady cautiously," Will your Samuel bring his fiancee here today?" As a public figure, Samuel was engaged again, and many people knew that.
Melody was upset at the thought that Samuel would bring Catherine to the occasion but she did not show it. "Samuel is a grown up and we are getting old. I won't interfere in his own affairs, but my Jerry's mother will also be here today." Melody smiled when she said that.
"Is Jerry's mother, Ella? Is she the hot model?" A young girl standing by suddenly cut in rudely.
Melody smiled and looked over. She remembered the girl was her cousin's granddaughter," Yeah, she's a star. It's her job. In private, she is still my grandson's wife!"
This made Viola's smile untenable.
When Ella left, Emma, the uninspiring girl, had said that she didn't like Samuel anymore.
Viola was particularly angry when she thought about it.
"Grandson's wife? Grandma, aren't they divorced?" Drake heard Melody speaking as soon as he entered the room.
Emma, who was holding his arm, greeted Viola with an awkward nod.
