Ella had planned to take Jane with her, for she feared Jane may cause trouble.
Anna, however, insisted on leaving Jane with her. Ella finally agreed.
"Don't worry! Jane has been a well-behaved and pleasant little girl." Anna walked out from the living room, heavily pregnant. She looked at Jane with pleasure, who was?nestling on Ella's left shoulder.
Jane was an only three-years-old girl, but was docile, smart, and endearing.
She hoped her baby would be as cute and adorable as Jane.
"Well, Anna, it's so kind of you to help me out." Deep inside, Ella felt sorry for having to let a pregnant woman take care of Jane. She knew it took a lot of energy to look after a kid.
She felt the need to tell Samuel about Jane as soon as possible
"Oh, why are you being so nice to me? Can't you just regard me as your sister-in-law?" Anna mentioned in a sarcastic tone, while she cuddled Jane.
Anna didn't have to worry about Jane anymore. In fact, her servants were there to take care of her. The only parenting she had to do is to play with the little girl.
"Of course, you are my closest family member!" Ella stated, cheerfully. Ella had considered Anna her best friend. She had long been very close with Anna before she and Samuel even got married.
"Good! That's it! No need for you to be so formal."
Anna, who had prepared freshly sliced fruits, escorted them to the sofa and gestured for them to sit down.
"Has Eason been so busy these days?" Ella asked, while giving Jane a piece of mango to eat. Subconsciously, she glanced at the stairs on the second floor after asking the question.
"Yes, with another child, Eason has to earn more to feed this one." Anna replied.
Realising Anna was just joking, Ella started to defend his brother, "Hey, you are really insatiable. Eason is already one of the richest man in the country. Are you still not content?"
What Ella said made Anna chuckle. "Of course, I'm content. I advised Eason to not over-do it and to relax more often. However, his company needed him to spend more time at work."
Ella nodded. Suddenly something crossed her mind. "Anna, has Eason's behaviour changed in any way?"
Eason's reputation as a playboy was well-known, and she knew better than anyone else.
She had hoped
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
sion and killed himself, following the suicide of her aged mother.
Anna came out, curiously staring at Ella and Judith, who seemed to be hugging each other.
'Who is that woman? Ella seemed to know her a lot. But she came to see Eason. How could she be crying on Ella's chest?' Anna was puzzled.
"Ella, why don't you come in?" Glancing at Judith who was crying her heart out, Anna walked over and gestured Ella and Judith to enter the house.
When she saw Anna, Judith wiped her tears and looked at her.
"Anna, we have something to talk about. You go in first, we'll be there in a minute or two." The situation caused Ella to develop a huge headache. 'Gosh, what should I do?' Ella said to herself.
She was a first-hand witness to how the relationship between Judith and Eason was developing.
She was only about eleven years old at that time. Her parents also knew how Judith and Eason loved each other very much. Judith usually went to their house to visit. She was so nice to Ella that she had treated her like a sister.
Judith could tell that Anna was possibly Ella's sister-in-law, and Eason's wife. Judith's face turned pale though she had expected this before she came. She felt pain deep-inside.
A few minutes later, Anna regretted not listening to her to go inside.
Rubbing her pregnant belly, Anna looked at Ella and Judith thoughtfully. "Ella, this is terrible. She does not look good. She shouldn't be out in the freezing cold."
Ella felt at a loss. Should she take Judith in?
