Chapter 1214: Chapter 1211: Going to China
She stirred slightly in his embrace, discovering she was wrapped in a blanket, her body almost left unguarded.
"Early in the morning, where are you taking me?" Last night they almost went the whole way, she was angry, planning to "ignore" him as punishment, even considered making him sleep on the sofa again, last night was an exception.
"To China," he replied, "If you’re sleepy, continue sleeping. There will be food on the plane, I’ll wake you up."
"..." Her big boss was being so nice!
While in Eastern Europe, although Eliana pampered her, it wasn’t the same kind of love. Her uncle and master cared for her too, but it was different from this.
Still, even if he suddenly became so nice, it wouldn’t change her decision to make him sleep on the sofa!
Last night, when they got to bed, he kept holding her, talking about discomfort...
...
On the plane, Eva Nightingale fell back asleep comfortably.
It wasn’t until half-past nine that she lifted her face and found Lucas Knight still holding her: "Honey, aren’t you tired? Let go of me quickly!"
Holding her like that for so long, she couldn’t help but feel tired just by thinking about it, but he seemed to enjoy the feeling of holding her.
...
White Estate.
Edward White’s plane had just landed.
A few days ago, he went to Sovereign Empire, appeared at Renai Hospital, stayed in the empire for a few days, and returned today.
The plane had just landed, and a row of bodyguards surrounded him: "Eldest Young Master, you’re back! Madam and Mister are waiting for you at the estate."
"Hmm. Got it." Edward replied briefly and then got into the luxury car, as the driver started up the car and drove into the estate.
"Eldest Young Master! The banquet is held tonight, Madam and Mister keep asking about Miss’s whereabouts, didn’t you bring her back?!"
A year ago, the scandal of Ella being a fake heiress caused a big stir. Jefferson and Juliette had arguments over it back then. Despite hiding it for over twenty years, the truth couldn’t be covered forever. Jefferson discovered that Ella wasn’t his biological daughter, confirmed this with a paternity test which infuriated him even more. He argued with Juliette every day or gave her the silent treatment.
Juliette had no choice back then, in order to keep her position as the official Madam, she arranged for Ella to be brought back. Now, who knows where Ella was actually found?
Jefferson kept pressing Juliette about the whereabouts of their real daughter, but since the child was born prematurely back then, it turned out... she didn’t survive. Juliette kept it to herself without telling him, prompting cold wars between the two and even involving Edward White.
By this time, Edward’s car had already arrived at the estate.
The car stopped.
The assistant opened the car door and said, "Eldest Young Master! Madam and Mister are in the living room. The banquet stage is set up at the racetrack in the backyard. Madam arranged for everything a month in advance, and the preparations for the banquet are very thorough."
"The Imperial President has already arrived at the airport, I’ve sent someone to pick him up."
"Hmm." Edward was fairly satisfied.
Since he had nothing special planned for the evening, he decided to play cards.
"Wait," Edward said, "I’ll go personally to pick him up." After all, Lucas Knight was a long-time friend, so Edward naturally wanted to greet him personally.
But the assistant stopped him: "Eldest Young Master! Let me pick up the President. You should meet Madam and Mister first, they seem to have something to tell you."
They were urging Edward just the day before.
Sadly, he was always elusive.
Both White parents thought they might have raised a fake son.
Having raised a daughter for over twenty years, only to find she wasn’t their biological child was a huge blow to Jefferson White.
