Before Ellena could say anything, Alfred had already said, "You are pregnant now. Your health is more important. Edward doesn't have any maids here, so I asked someone to pick a new batch of maids to take care of you."

Ellena looked over and roughly counted more than ten maids.

She and Edward were the only two who lived in this villa. How could they need so many maids?

If there were too many maids, she would feel uncomfortable.

However, Ellena could not refuse Alfred's good intentions.

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 853. Do It In Secret

    In the conference room, all the important public relations staff were present. Everyone sat upright, their expressions serious, as if they already sensed that this meeting was not an ordinary one. The atmosphere was tense and quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing and the soft hum of the air conditioner filling the space.After Ellenatook her seat at the head of the table, she slowly looked around at everyone present. Her gaze was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure that made people subconsciously straighten their backs.“Do you know why I called an emergency meeting?” she asked.Her voice was steady, without any obvious emotion, but it was precisely this calmness that made the room feel even more solemn.Paulhad always been meticulous in his work. After he informed the public relations department that the meeting was going to be held, he had already vaguely guessed the reason. He had briefly browsed the news related

    Paulglanced at Ellenaand did not say anything else. He picked up the thick stack of documents from the desk, held them firmly in his arms, and turned around to leave. His footsteps were steady, and the door closed quietly behind him.The office returned to silence.Ellenasat alone in front of the desk. Her gaze lingered on the documents for a moment before she slowly reached out and took out Edward’s pen from the drawer. The pen rested in her palm, cool and familiar, as if it carried memories that refused to fade.She had received many pens like this when she was young. Back then, they were nothing more than ordinary writing tools, casually given and easily forgotten. She never imagined that one particular pen would quietly bind her fate to someone else. It became the beginning of everything, the invisible thread that tied her life to Edward’s.She lowered her eyes, staring at the pen, her fingers unconsciously tightening aro

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 851. Too Absurd

    Ellena closed the door softly behind her and returned to her room.The click of the latch echoed faintly in the quiet corridor, sounding much louder than it should have. She paused for a moment, standing still, as if listening for something like footsteps, a voice, or even her own heartbeat. Nothing followed. The villa was silent, calm to the point of oppression.As if remembering something all of a sudden, Ellena walked toward the window. She pushed the curtain aside and looked out.The floor she lived on was high, and night had already fallen. The lights of the city below were scattered like distant stars, blurred and indistinct. Cars moved silently far below, their headlights forming thin, flowing lines. No matter how hard she tried to focus, she could not see anything clearly, nor could she find what she was subconsciously looking for.After a while, Ellena closed the window and let the curtain fall back into place.She returned to her bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling. Sle

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 850: You Were too Ugly When You Were a Kid

    Ellena could feel the subtle changes in Edward’s body.The shift was slight, almost imperceptible, but because she was trapped so close to him, she noticed it instantly. The warmth surrounding her seemed to intensify, carrying a pressure that made her entire body tense unconsciously.A faint shiver ran down her spine. For a brief moment, she froze completely.Her breathing caught in her throat, and her fingers curled tightly against her palms.Edward lowered his head slightly, his breath brushing lightly against the side of her face. His voice came softly, low and restrained, but carrying an unsettling certainty that made her heartbeat grow chaotic.“If you don’t want to do it, don’t move.”The meaning behind his words made Ellena’s face burn instantly.Her eyes widened slightly before anger quickly replaced the brief moment of panic. She gritted her teeth hard.“Edward, don’t for

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 849: Unconcealed Feelings

    Ellena didn’t want to talk to Edward. She really didn’t know what to do with him anymore. Every time she thought she had finally understood him, he would do something that left her completely confused again. It was exhausting trying to guess what was in his mind.The truth was, she knew she wasn’t a match for him in terms of schemes. Edward was always calm, always composed, always three steps ahead of everyone else. He could hide his thoughts so deeply that no one could read him unless he wanted them to. Even after all the years they had spent together, Ellena still could not confidently say she truly understood him.She was not like him.Her emotions had always been easier to see. When she was angry, she became cold. When she was hurt, she became silent. She could never pretend as perfectly as Edward could.And right now, she was angry.Not just angry, but frustrated. Frustrated that he stood there acting so calm, as if nothing h

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 848: Keep You Widowed for Me

    After Ellena said so much, Edward’s expression remained unreadable. His face was calm, almost detached, as if he were a passerby observing something distant and unrelated to him. There was no flicker of anger, no trace of guilt. That coldness, paradoxically, made Ellena’s anger ebb.Instead of losing her temper, she felt her breath steady. Her chest rose and fell calmly as she gathered her composure. A faint, almost mocking smile curled at her lips.“What a pity,” she said softly. “If you really died in that car accident, I could have taken your money to take care of other men. I could be with whoever I wanted.”For the first time that night, a crack appeared on Edward’s otherwise unshaken face. It was subtle, but enough for Ellena to notice. She leaned into her newfound calm, letting her smile deepen slightly.“You left the entire Arnoult Group to me. You must want me to live a happy life,” she

    However, before the maid could go far, she heard Edward's voice. "Wait!"The maid quickly stopped and turned to look at Edward. "Is there anything else, young master?"Edward thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Has she eaten?"The maid was stunned for a moment and realized that Edward was

    Spencer sized Ellena up without batting an eyelid and suggested, "If you really hate him so much, staying by his side might be a good thing.""What do you mean?" Ellena looked at Spencer in confusion."Edward still has feelings for you now. He will not do anything to you. If you move out of his villa,

    The two of them held on to the ends of the blankets.Edward pulled it towards him, and Ellena also pulled it towards her.However, Ellena's strength was still smaller than Edward's strength. In the end, the blanket was still pulled over by Edward.After Edward pulled the blanket over, he closed his eye

    Ellena stared at Edward's smooth movements with her mouth agape. She was completely dumbfounded.Ellena stared at Edward for a moment before reaching out to take the cigarette from his hand. She said in a low voice, "Stop messing around."Edward let her take away the cigarette between his fingers. He
