Chapter 24; Just make sure you don't use up all your energy "Why are you smiling huh? You are supposed to be my daughter." Dahlia scolded Cécilia. "I am not smiling,mother. " Cécilia rolled back her head in laughter. She enjoyed Elsie's assertiveness. *** Since she was already soaked, Elsie took a bath and got new underwear from Auntie Rina, who had sent a servant to buy them. She also changed into a red dress with a drawstring waistline. It was the only dress she had that could still fit. Not quite fit, because her breasts had grown two times bigger after she gave birth, and her hips had widened as well. The dress, which used to be knee-length, was now thigh-length. She donned simple makeup with a little powder and diamond ear spike earrings. As she examined herself in the mirror, Elsie felt uncomfortable in the dress. She pulled on the waistline and complained, "This dress used to be big for me, and now it's too tight. I can barely breathe." "Wow, Ma'am El
Chapter 26: How much do you hate Elsie Ross? "Bye, uncle," Eldon waved to his instructor as he entered the car. Meanwhile, in an apartment in City B, Trixson was losing some steam by doing some jumping jacks, wearing a black and white crop top and black yoga pants. Then, her phone began to ring. She quickly wiped the sweat off her face with a cloth and rushed to pick it up. Upon glancing at the contact name flashing on the screen, her face turned sour. She looked up directly at a wall on the left, where a huge photo of Elsie and her was hung. They were hugging each other and smiling. The photo was taken after the premiere of Trixson's first acting role. She couldn't help but grit her teeth. "Elsie, I will never forgive you for this! You bitch!" In truth, Trixson had made a plan to meet Elsie at the PlumBar, but she had no intention of going herself. Instead, she arranged for Henry Rowan to go in her stead. Her plan was to take a photo of them in an intimate pos
Chapter 27: Daddy tell Mommy you love her! In a bustling ice cream parlor in City D, the employees were in a state of panic due to the arrival of a new customer. It was none other than the renowned Aiden Scott, and they knew that providing him with flawless service could potentially elevate their small restaurant to new heights. Meanwhile, Aiden sat uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze wandering aimlessly around the middle-class establishment. His actions betrayed his aristocratic background, as it was evident that he was unaccustomed to such a simple lifestyle. Noticing his unease, Elsie nudged him and suggested, "If you don't like it here, we can leave." In response, he asked expressionlessly, "Do you like it here?" Elsie became confused. Why was he asking her the same question she had just asked him? Nevertheless, she replied calmly, "I like it here. Auntie Dahlia used to bring me here after my piano classes." Excitement and happy memories gleamed in her
Chapter 28: Such a drama Queen A waitress hurried over, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry, ma'am, for the delay in service. We were waiting for you to place your order." The waitress couldn't help but gaze at Aiden, who exuded an air of aloofness that made him even more attractive. His cold eyes were fixed on his phone. Elsie noticed this but wasn't alarmed, as she perceived it as mere admiration. In contrast, Trixson would go out of her way to seduce Aiden, causing Elsie some concern. "No problem. You're here now, so please take our order," Elsie calmly replied, redirecting the waitress's attention. "Of course, of course!" The waitress nodded repeatedly, somewhat nervous and embarrassed by her earlier staring. She wondered if her initial reaction would result in a low rating for the restaurant or even jeopardize her job. Anticipating a scolding from Elsie, the waitress was surprised when it never came. Turning to her son, Elsie asked in a gentle voice,
Chapter 29: Not When It Tastes Like You "Huh?" she asked with a full mouth. Aiden's Adam's apple bobbed as he wiped the corner of her lips, which were smudged with ice cream. He asked, "Won't you feed me anymore?" Elsie swallowed, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She inquired, licking her lower lip, which only enticed him, "Didn't you hate ice cream?" He smiled, bringing her closer by supporting her head with his hand. "Not when it tastes like you." Before she could grasp what he meant, he abruptly slammed his lips onto hers, taking her by storm. Her pupils dilated at his actions. Elsie was taken aback by his actions and was frozen to her seat. She let him take the lead and did not reciprocate. Seeing that she held back her obvious desire, he bit her lower lip before letting her go. Didn't she want to kiss him? Or was she done with the pretense? It meant he was right, only Henry Rowan was in her heart. How could he be so foolish! Thinking thi
Chapter 30; Why is he asking for me now? The woman who had attacked Elsie earlier chatted happily with her friends. They enjoyed her company and her interest in the famous poet Poe. Suddenly, she was pulled by a strong, fierce hand, dragging her away from the crowd she was entertaining. She couldn't help but hurl insults at him. "You mannerless peasant dog! How dare you attack me in such a manner? You dare lay a finger on me, huh? Do you know who I am?" The lady was so furious that her breathing became erratic. She glared angrily at the bulky fellow for the stunt he had pulled. She also noticed that her expensive dress had been torn at the collar, revealing her black bra. She felt very embarrassed, and her face turned red. Placing a hand on the tear, she yelled at the beastly-looking fellow, "Look at my expensive dress! How dare you touch it? Do you know how much I paid for this dress? It's more than your two months' salary!" The women she had heartily chatted
Chapter 31; Don't expect Aiden to forgive so easily? "What did she say?" Aiden's cold voice pierced through the silence. He watched the slender finger walk from her seat to the elevator which led to the terrace instead of where he was. Joseph wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief, swallowed hard, and stuttered, "Mr. President, she asked for you to come meet her downstairs." "Hmm." He drew in his cheeks slightly and emitted cold air. Elsie had always been stubborn. Aiden Scott remained silent for a while. He took a long sip of the whiskey in his glass. "You can go now." "Okay, Mr. President." Joseph bowed respectfully before leaving. It was better to leave Aiden alone at this time, or else he would end up being killed by Aiden's anger. "Madam is so stubborn, always poking at the President's anger." He sighed heavily, walking away. On the terrace, Elsie watched the city lights with a heavy heart. Why was she even on the terrace? "It's beautiful h
Chapter 32: You invited me remember? #### In a Light Hotel, A woman walked gracefully on ten-inch heels on the beautiful marble floor. She was dressed in a black sheath dress, a giant hat, and black shades. People could barely see the person under this disguise. She stepped into the elevator and pressed the top floor number. The elevator was empty, but she still kept her disguise on. Her knuckles, which were clutching her black Dior purse, grew white. Her entire body trembled the moment her phone vibrated in her purse. Reluctantly, she brought the phone to her ear, biting down on her lower lip. "Hello?" "Where are you?" an impatient voice scolded on the other side of the mobile. Rubbing her neck, Trickson replied in a shaky voice, "I am almost there, Director Lee." "Get here fast. It seems you are not serious about playing the role of Phine Asong. The movie is bound to be famous; it will take you to greater heights." The man's voice became arrogant
