Ethan shook his head vigorously in disbelief. His reaction at this time was a new experience for Jade, making her feel bad for him. She also felt sorry for Ula's bitter decision. Ultimately, why did Ula and Ethan end up in such a situation?"What you're saying can't be true," Ethan vehemently denied."As I said, Ula was completely serious about her choice when she came to find me." Jade affirmed Ula's decision and determination. "Although I don't know the details of what happened between the two of you, it seems like there is no reconciliation, right? Ula showed a strong dislike when she mentioned you. What happened between you two?" Jane made an observation accompanied by growing curiosity."Now, where is Ula? Is she entertaining guests there? I want to talk to her," Ethan asked insistently, trying to regain his composure. Once again, Jane felt irritated at being ignored."She's gone," Jade responded indifferently in the face of Ethan's impatience."Gone where? Is Ula avoiding me, or
Under the dim lights, Ethan could not hide his feelings of sorrow and pity for Ula. Why did Ula end up in this state? Wasn't it simply her fate? Not quite. Ethan felt it was his fault, and he blamed himself for contributing to Ula's suffering. If Ethan had not acted foolishly, out of control, and with insane jealousy, Ula would not hate him so much that she would rather self-destruct than humble herself to beg for his help. Or, if Ethan had not come to the hotel to look for Ula, she would have received Uri's dedicated help. Although Ethan did not like the idea of Ula being grateful to and being with Uri, it would have been better if it were so. Everything would not have been as bad as it is now. After all, everything started with a misunderstanding, but Ethan could not help but feel guilty and aware of the responsibility he had toward Ula. Not only because of what he had done to her, but also because he loved her. Truly, love is a damnable emotion that makes Ethan, the arrogant and d
"Ula, you should know that Ethan risked his life to rescue you from the human traffickers. He was even stabbed by a villain in the process and came close to losing his life," Donna revealed, exaggerating a bit to make Ula believe. "Is that true? How could that happen? Why would Ethan do such a thing?" Ula was in shock and couldn't express her words properly. "What I'm saying is entirely true. If you doubt it, you can investigate it yourself," Donna calmly affirmed. "Ula, you should remember that you can survive and stay safe after these horrific events because of Ethan, both this time and the previous time. You owe Ethan a lot. Whether you want to deny it or make excuses to avoid it, the truth remains the truth." A silence fell, and Ula couldn't respond to Donna's statements. She had no grounds to doubt her grandmother's words. From what she had witnessed firsthand, Ula herself was convinced and believed in what Ethan had done for her. Moreover, upon careful consideration, it was e
"Ethan Thomas," Ula whispered, unable to restrain her emotions as she gently touched his hair. Ula tried her best not to wake him. "I apologize for treating you coldly and harshly. But you know, it's all because I'm haunted by the terrible things you did to me. I hate you; I even loathe you. But now, I..." Pausing for a moment to catch her breath, Ula could continue. "I didn't expect you to save me. I don't understand why you did it, but I sincerely thank you so much. Please recover quickly. I will pray for you." Ethan heard Ula's voice in a dreamlike state, desiring to open his eyes to see her by his side. However, consciousness woke up in time, reminding him of a very legitimate concern. Finally, Ethan decided to deliberately pretend to still be asleep to avoid the awkwardness of an unprepared meeting for both of them. Ethan was confident that Ula probably felt similarly to him, which is why she chose to silently visit him. Taking advantage of the moment while he was asleep, she co
"What are you saying?" Ula asked, staring intently at Ethan with a mixture of surprise and skepticism."I love you," Ethan dismisses any awkwardness, reaffirming, "I hate and loathe the actions I've committed that caused you pain. But I truly love you. That day, seeing you with Uri, hearing you praise and exalt him, and comparing Ula to me, it was heartbreaking, beyond what I could bear. I allowed my own jealousy to mislead, incite, and provoke. I'm sorry, Ula. I deeply regret what I did to you. I love you, and please believe me.""Since when? How can you love me?" Ula remained bewildered, showing no trust in Ethan's explanations unless he could convince her to believe them."From the moment the curtain was lifted, revealing your face, my heart hasn't stopped fluttering," Ethan confessed, leaving Ula astonished and speechless. "However, due to the haunting presence of hatred and pressure, I engaged in actions and words contrary to love. You may not believe me, but what I say is entire
"Hello, Ula, so glad to see you again," Lisa responded warmly with a fond smile. "Same here," Ula said, her voice choked with emotion. Lisa then turned to Ethan, speaking with a formal tone, "Hello, Mr. Ethan. I'm also delighted to see you again." Ethan nodded to Lisa instead of speaking. "What's going on? Can anyone tell me? I'm about to go crazy with curiosity. It's unbearable." Ula asked, perplexed. She looked from Lisa to Ethan, expecting an explanation. "From today onwards, I'll be working here," Lisa announced cheerfully. "I look forward to your help, Ula." "Really?" Ula exclaimed, taken aback by the news. "I asked Lisa to come back as the housekeeper," Ethan explained to help Ula understand. "She will take care of the entire house, including cooking for us." "Why didn't you tell me anything about this?" Ula asked, with a hint of reproach. "I wanted to surprise you," Ethan maintained, his gaze warm. "It certainly took me by surprise," Ula admitted. "Moreover, last tim
While Ula was examining some dresses, she suddenly heard hateful words aimed at her: "Look who we have here? Isn't it Ula Cox, the neglected wife who used to serve and wash my feet? Long time no see, are you still well?" Ula turned around, raising an eyebrow as she discovered that the person speaking was Ami. Faced with Ami's bitter and malicious words, instead of getting provoked or escalating the situation, Ula controlled her emotions and calmly responded. "Ah, hello, Ami. I didn't expect to run into you here. As you can see, I'm doing well. And how about you? How have you been lately?" Ula did not avoid or pretend not to know Ami. Ula's behavior met all the necessary standards to be called polite. "My condition is undoubtedly better than yours," Ami arrogantly replied, intentionally provoking a war of words as she brought up the past: "Are you still being mistreated by your husband, enduring all kinds of abuse, or have you two divorced already? If you've divorced, I sincerely c
Ami couldn't tolerate being teased and humiliated by Ula in front of many people, so she responded with malice, making Ula stop in her tracks."No matter what you say, the fact remains that your husband mistreated you, brought me home, and ordered you to serve me." Ami defiantly challenged Ula with arrogance. "And clearly, you obediently followed the command like a loyal dog."Remembering past incidents made Ula want to explode, but she remained calm to handle the situation instead of acting foolishly as Ami desired."Let me tell you, dear Ami: Men being fickle and unfaithful is understandable," Ula turned back, sharing her personal perspective frankly. "About what you are referring to, At first, Ethan took you home out of pity, along with fulfilling his own agenda. However, later on, you made Ethan lose interest, and once you no longer held any exploitable value, Ethan heartlessly discarded you like worthless, invaluable rubbish, with no more significance than that.""So what?" Ami r
