Ellena raised her head in surprise, gazing at “Nicklaus” before glancing back at the phone in her hand. "You bought this?"

“Nice try. Cousin bought it for you.” Edward rolled his eyes and began to eat.

Ellena sneered at his words. "As if I'd accept it if it was from you."

Ellena took the phone out of the small box. A small smile appeared on her lips as she analyzed it carefully.

As Edward was the one who had bought it for her, she accepted it. After all, they were already

  • 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

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 847: A Play That He Directed and Acted on

    Ellena was still brooding over what Edward had done. Her mind churned with countless unspoken words, memories, and betrayals, and it made it impossible for her to speak to him calmly.She stared at him for a long moment, as though searching for answers in the depths of his expression. Then, without a word, she turned away and walked to the other side of the sofa. She sat down slowly, crossing her arms and legs with a deliberate air of self-restraint. Her gaze fixed on him, expressionless, almost unreadable.The bedroom was not small, but in that instant it felt crowded. The space between them seemed to shrink, charged with unspoken tension. They were not just in a room together, they were in a silence heavy with the weight of everything unsaid.For a long moment, neither spoke. They looked at each other, eyes locked in an unbroken exchange of thought, resentment, and something deeper. Ellena waited for him to speak, but Edward only stared back, serious and unbli

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 846: She's Thinking too Much

    Elaine curled her lips slightly, a faint expression of contemplation crossing her small face."Alright," she said softly.She lowered her head and took a deliberate bite of the meat on her plate. The warmth of the kitchen, the sound of her small chewing, and the quiet atmosphere wrapped around them like a fragile cocoon. Then she looked up at Ellena with surprising seriousness."When school starts, I will be very busy, too."Ellena smiled faintly, her tone gentle yet affectionate. "Yes, my little Ella is also a busy person."Elaine’s eyes sparkled with amusement, and she chuckled softly, her joy infectious. Ellena watched her for a moment, the warmth of motherhood settling quietly in her chest. Yet her own appetite was gone. She barely touched her meal, her attention constantly drifting toward the entrance of her home.But no one came. The door remained still, the hallway silent.She kept glancing up, her thoughts restless, but the minutes slipped by unnoticed. By the time she and Ela

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 845: Guest

    Ellena had no idea what Edward was thinking. His expression remained unreadable, shrouded in gloom, as though he were weighing some invisible burden. The shadows in the underground parking lot seemed to cling to his face, making his hesitation even more tangible.She recalled that Stacy was still at home and that Edward’s presence in her life was still shrouded in secrecy. The reason he had not shown himself openly was clear to her now. He did not want anyone to know where he truly was. His return was deliberate, concealed, calculated.The thought hardened her tone. She lifted her eyes to meet his, steady and controlled, though there was an unspoken edge to her voice. "You know where I live," she said quietly but firmly. "You can come up in half an hour. If you don’t come… it’s on your own."There was finality in her words. Without waiting for his answer, she pressed the button to close the elevator. The metallic hum filled the small space as the doors slid

    Ellena felt that Edward's tone was purposely directed at Spencer. She said snappily, "You are the most capable, okay?" However, he had guessed Naomi's thoughts correctly. Naomi indeed wanted to kill them to avenge Cyrus. Edward raised his eyebrows. "Do you think what I

    Ellena ate while looking at Edward. Although Edward did not look at her, he could feel her gaze. He suddenly said, "If you have something to say, say it." "Ellie is staying at your place. Are you used to it?" Ellena put down her chopsticks and asked. Edward did not ans

    Madeline saw the seriousness in Ellena's eyes and said embarrassedly, "It's good that you don't hold any grudges. Where have you been these few years? Are you okay?" Ellena felt that there was nothing to talk about between the two of them but Madeline clearly did not think so and looked li

    Ellena subconsciously nodded her head. Then she remembered that Chloe could not see her current actions and said, "I was the one who called him." "You called him and he went to pick you up? I don't believe that he doesn't feel anything for you." At this moment, Chloe's assistant's v
