"How long is the deadline?" Ella asked shivering.
"From now until tomorrow morning but you should have the money as soon as possible."
In such a short time, where did she make thirty thousand dollars? She was recently fired by Mr.'s wife. John, so she couldn't get a salary.
The female doctor looked at Ella's expression, she showed sympathy. "I'm sorry I can't help you. You can borrow money from a friend or a bank."
Ella nodded to the female doctor and walked out of the hospital campus, sitting down on a stone bench, thinking.
Loan?
Ella doesn't have many friends. Most of them are social network friends, she doesn't have a trusted friend who can lend her money.
Wait, Ella suddenly remembered she had a best friend named Suzy. But Suzy's family is not well off. She also has to work hard to earn money. She doesn't have enough money to lend Ella.
As for the bank, they will ask what Ella does. If she says she's quit her job and is unemployed, will the bank give her a loan?
Ella feels tired. She couldn't think of any way to solve the problem at hand. Her father's life is in her hands. What is she supposed to do?
Suddenly, a man's voice rang in Ella's ear. "I can help you."
Ella was startled, turning to look at the man in the hospital uniform from earlier. Since when is he sitting here? She frowned, staring at the man. He is so handsome. The lines on his face were strangely perfect. If he wasn't dressed in a hospital gown, Ella thought he might be an executive or some billionaire among the nobility.
"I'll give you a million dollars to pay for your father's surgery." The man said, not sounding joking.
What? A million dollars? Ella didn't mishear, did she? If she didn't mishear, he was joking.
"Why? I don't know you." Ella scowled. It was clear that she had never met this man in her life. There's no reason for him to give her a million dollars. This is not a small amount.
Could it be... he's crazy?
The man continued. "Yes. We don't know each other, but we need each other." His words were unclear, causing Ella to misunderstand.
Oh my god, what is he saying? Ella shivered in fear. Is he trying to flirt with her? Why does she always meet perverts everywhere she goes?
Ella stood up and was about to leave when a hand grabbed her. She panicked, talking nonstop. "Let go. You lustful. You pervert. You're grouchy. If you don't let go, I'll scream."
What? Metamorphosis? Sam So? The man gasped, in disbelief. Ella's imagination is so rich. He had just grabbed her wrist, he hadn't even done anything yet. Yet she said he was the one who molested her.
Seeing many people looking in their direction, he let go of Ella's hand and spoke immediately for fear of her running away.
"Hey girl, can you calm down and listen to me?"
Ella saw the serious look on the man's face, she calmed down and sat down in her chair, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"You need money and I need a wife. Let's cooperate." The man's voice was calm.
Ella was amazed. It was the first time she heard such words. If he's not a pervert, he's definitely a... mental patient. Oh no, he's crazy.
Ella leaves.
The man's voice echoed behind Ella causing her feet to slow down.
"Think again. Don't you want to save your father?"
Ella turned her head and asked. "How can I believe you?"
Before he could speak, another man approached. This person wore a polite gray suit, his face was a little younger than his.
The man in the gray suit gave him a fancy suit and said. "General manager, your clothes are already dry."
General manager? Ella opened her mouth in surprise. She stared blankly at him. Not a madman, not a pervert, but a general manager.
"Please wait a moment." He said and went to the bathroom.
Ella waited in the chair with the man in the gray suit. she asked. "Is that person really the general manager?"
The man in the gray suit was stunned for a moment before realizing who Ella was referring to. He nodded. "Yes. He is the general manager of D&A company. Today he went to the hospital to visit a friend, unfortunately, a boy spilled food on him. I told him to throw the clothes but he didn't agree. He really liked this suit, so he told me to wash it thoroughly. While I asked the staff to wash it, he only temporarily wore the patient's clothes in the hospital."
Therefore, it is. Ella understood. She wrongly blamed him.
The man came out of the toilet. He's even more handsome in his elegant suit.
Ella shook her head, dispelling the thoughts in her mind. 'How can you look at him with lustful eyes? You're just as greedy as he is.'
Ella felt ashamed of what happened, she lowered her head.
"You don't believe me, do you? You thought I was a psycho just now?" The man seemed to see through Ella's thoughts.
Embarrassed, she dared not raise her head.
"What I say is true. I'm David Anthony. This is my business card." The man hands Ella a business card.
She took it and asked. "Why do you want to help me?"
David said. "Actually, my parents and grandfather urged me to get married, but I'm very busy and just want to focus on my career. My mother said that if I don't have a girlfriend or don't get married, she will decide on her future wife for herself. me and will force me to marry someone I don't love. That's why I asked you to pretend to be my wife. We will sign a marriage contract for three years. After three years, you will be free."
Ella listened silently and then she wondered. "So after three years, your mother asked, what would you answer?"
"I would say that we are not compatible so we should divorce. In those three years, maybe I will find my true love so you don't have to worry about that." David shrugged.
"But why me and not someone else?" Ella tilted her head slightly.
"You're having a hard time with money, aren't you? Just now I heard the doctor say you need money to pay for your father's surgery. If I help you unconditionally, you won't agree. So I came up with this idea." David spoke again, explaining in detail to Ella.
"That's called cheating. How can I work with you to deceive your family?" Ella turned and got ready to leave.
David said hastily. "We work for each other's sake. You need money, I need someone to introduce to my family. Both parties are happy, why is it a lie? This specialty is only the three of us know. Me, you and Key - my assistant."
The man in the gray vest is David's assistant - Key.
The next morning, Ella prepared breakfast and went out, and Zelda was washed and cleaned. When Ella went out, Zelda woke up, but then she went back to sleep. David sat leisurely reading the document. Suddenly, Zelda woke up, flipped over, and leaned out of the crib. David turned to look, reached out to pick her up from the crib, he set his baby down on the carpet, and dumped the toys around her. He says. "Just play." then back to work. Zelda is very obedient, quietly sitting and playing. She rolled left and right and flipped all over. Playing for a while, Zelda felt lonely, she crawled to David's feet, grabbed his pants, she raised her big eyes to look at her father who was concentrating on work. David understood, Zelda was trying to call him, and suddenly David got interested, he smiled and looked down. His face showed amusement, he knew Zelda wanted milk. So he put her to bed, went to the kitchen to get a bottle of milk that Ella had prepared, and put it in the cupboard. Seeing
A cool summer, in the warm, peaceful house of the husband and wife David and Ella have just welcomed a new member named Zelda.Back to the past.At the company.David was busy with documents that needed his approval when suddenly his phone rang.He opened the phone, it was his mother calling.“David, Ella suddenly had a stomach ache and fainted, she is in the emergency room. You want to go to the hospital.”David hung up the call, forgot to put on his jacket, put his phone in his pocket, and ran to the hospital.Because his wife is about to give birth, so he is very excited.From the office, he rushes to the elevator, and waits for the elevator for less than fifteen seconds, he feels impatient, occasionally looking at the watch in his right hand.Right now, whatever, he doesn't care. The only thing he thinks about is his wife's safety.Arriving in the parking lot, he got into the driver's seat, not even having time to buckle his seat belt. He's at a very fast pace.At the intersection
"No, it's just that in the morning, he called me, wanting us to go to the airport tomorrow to see him off. Raymon is afraid that he won't have much time to visit us later, so he wants to see us. meet us before we go.” Afraid that David would disagree, she sat up and shook his arm, "Let's go see him off, okay?"David's brow furrowed, he didn't feel happy when Ella mentioned another man when it was just the two of them. Ella knew he was about to get jealous again, so she said. "Anyway, you and Raymond are friends, I've been your wife, he's changed his personality."David sighed, his head resting on Ella's small shoulder. "Okay, let's go together."Receiving David's answer, she immediately changed her attitude, from sad to giggle, and put her arms around his neck and even kissed David on the cheek.He sat quietly enjoying her treatment, although he went to meet his opponent but was coaxed by his beloved wife like this, he also felt worthy.Suddenly her lower abdomen felt uncomfortable, h
"Stop teasing me. Our mother is here. I asked her if she could come with us, okay? And she said yes." Finished talking, he opened the car door and helped her sit inside, then he turned to Mrs. Emma. "Mom, you take care of my wife." Mrs. Emma looked at him and nodded with a smile. After confirming she was in a safe seat, David rounded the driver's seat. Half an hour later, the car stopped at a rather large hospital in the city of X. David gently hugged Ella's waist along with her, and Mrs. Emma stepped inside. Ella followed the nurse's instructions into the room, with David in the back. His eyes were fixed on the screen that was gradually showing a fetus that had formed. The doctor moved the instrument over her abdomen and spoke to Ella. "The baby is developing very well, your family remembers to be careful in these months of pregnancy, especially since you and your husband should not have sex to avoid affecting the baby." Ella's face flushed, she peeked at David but, she caught s
David looked at his wife in surprise, Mr. Roy coughed. "The name of the baby does not have to be chosen from the names on this paper, you can choose whatever you want, I have no idea."David looked at the names on the paper and smiled. Ella's finger pointed to a name on the paper, speaking to David. “Use this name, okay?”David nodded. "So, if it's a boy, it's called Elias, if it's a girl, it's called Zelda."Mr. Roy heard that, somewhat smugly, and his face immediately smiled.Since Ella is pregnant, there is no married life, at night, David has to sleep separately, and he is afraid to touch the baby in Ella's belly. One day, David took her to a maternity checkup, and he asked the doctor directly. “When can we sleep in the same room?”Ella just listened, her face was red, and she lowered her head not daring to look at the doctor, the doctor tried not to laugh, and glanced at the couple. "Now is the time to settle down, can sleep together, but still should be restrained, not too inten
Ella couldn't help but laugh. "Don't brag, I haven't given birth yet, my belly isn't big yet. This is just a sign of pregnancy."David took a few deep breaths, then he regained consciousness, his hand gently rubbing her stomach, speaking in surprise. "Here, have our children?"Ella nodded gently, she took her hand and placed it on his. “Yes, you are going to be a father.”David held her in his arms again, gently, like holding a precious object, he couldn't imagine how happy he was right now, he was so happy that he wondered if he whether they were dreaming or not, they held each other in silence for a long time, then returned to the living room."Before, you didn't need me to drive you to work, but now that you're pregnant, you have to listen to me."Ella shook her head. “If you drive me to the company, you have to get up an hour early, you also have to work overtime in the evening, I don't want you to work so hard, moreover you contact many customers to sign contracts, in the evening
After the coach taught them the simplest methods. Next, the teacher instructs them in simple hand movements, because underwater cannot talk, and can only rely on hand and foot language to communicate, upright hand means stop, two fingers swinging the wave up and down means swimming, and holding the nose to breathe means the pressure is increasing, need to go up, finally, it's simpler to use your hands to do Ok.After the canoe took them out to sea, arrived at the diving site, and stopped, the coach helped Ella to put on a diving suit, put on frog shoes, and an oxygen tank on her back, David has the experience, so he wears his own diving suit.The oxygen tank weighs almost 50kg, Ella has her back to the back, she is sitting on the web, so heavy that she can't stand up, the trainer has to help her lift the oxygen tank, so she can stand up.

David and Ella have been married for a week. They plan to go on a honeymoon.The location during the honeymoon trip is on a small island in the Pacific Ocean called Fiji, on the island, there is a private club that is a mecca for everyone to rest, the number of people here is very large. At least, outside the door are statues of children and statues of knights standing on either side, many Hollywood stars and the most famous figures in the society like to come here to rest.The only means of transportation on the island is a helicopter. David and Ella went out the door of the plane, which had a private car waiting there. They chose a room designed on the water, the brown roof is covered with grass, outside the room is a private beach, below is transparent sea water, above is the vast blue sky, in the room is decorated. Simple decoration, wood, and bamboo as the main theme, fresh air everywhere, and no pollution.Ella has never had a chance to go on a trip to the sea, so this trip got
The next morning, Ella woke up, and she felt her body aching. She couldn't imagine how she felt, it could be said that her spine and waist were sore and cramped. The whole body ached unbearably, someone was still fast asleep.Ella stared at the man next to her, the more she looked at it, the angrier she got, she bit his hand, and suddenly an arm appeared behind her waist, pulling her to his chest.“Don't make a fuss, last night was too tiring, I don't need it now. Next time will continue.” When the words ended, David hugged Ella and kissed her on the lips, continuing to sleep.Ella blushed. She twisted her body to want to be far away from him, the result was a steady hand holding her waist, and a hoarse voice rang out, making Ella, in a rage, also dared not move.“If you are still moving, I will continue now.”Those words made Ella's heart tremble. But in the end, she dared not move.The sun was high, and Ella had a hard time getting out of bed. She and David went down to the living r
