"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
The person who intervened is Conal Amber, the son of the director of this shopping center. He is also Ami's current boyfriend. It turns out that the reason Ami is defiant, arrogant, disregards others, and stubbornly refuses to leave despite facing pressure from all sides is because she relies on her powerful backing. Truth be told, Ami had been contemplating calling Conal to have him come and help her confront and teach Ula a memorable lesson. However, as a coincidental twist of fate, before Ami could take action, Conal happened to appear.Seeing her ally arrive, Ami brimmed with confidence and put on a bright smile, immediately transitioning from her arrogant state of bullying others to a helpless, teary-eyed victim role. She slyly said:"Conal, you've come at the perfect time. Please restore justice for me.""What's going on, Ami?" Conal calmly inquired."She bullied me," Ami pointed at Ula.Conal looked at the girl Ami was pointing to. Despite not wearing heavy makeup, Ula looked v
"She is your girlfriend. Surely, this is a joke. Is your eyesight bad enough that you would pay attention to someone as wicked as her?" Ami, unwilling to accept the truth, envious, and bitter, used scornful and harsh words to speak about Ula, something unforgivable."Watch your tongue." Ethan threatened angrily. "Who are you to insult Ula? You're just a despicable woman. What right do you have to talk to me? It's better for you to shut your mouth before you end up biting your own tongue someday."Ami was frightened by Ethan's fierce attitude. Unexpectedly, Ula was now being protected by him. What had happened between the two of them? Ami was curious to find out."What did I say wrong? Just now, she insulted, humiliated, and falsely accused me. She even hit me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around you. They will testify for me."Ami still didn't stop, wanting to ruin Ula's reputation and integrity. She spoke while hiding behind Conal, afraid that Ethan would deal with
"Sorry for interrupting your conversation. I just want to inform you that your items have been packed." The cashier cautiously approached Ula, confirming that the situation had returned to normal."Oh, thank you," Ula replied cheerfully. "How much did it cost in total?""The amount you need to pay is... May I ask if you prefer to pay with a card or cash?" The cashier continued to inquire, and Ula immediately turned to Ethan with a small smile, as if seeking his opinion, as he was responsible for the payment."Card payment," Ethan answered, handing his card to the cashier."Alright, please wait a moment." The cashier took Ethan's card and began the transaction.After a while, the cashier returned to Ula and Ethan."Here are your items. Thank you for shopping at our store," the employee appeared, handing Ethan back his card. Ethan tucked the card into his pocket and, like a gentleman, picked up a few bags in place of Ula."Ula, do you need anything else?" Ethan asked with concern."No,"
