Semua Bab Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart: Bab 11 - Bab 20

In her whole lifetime, Ellena Smith never sleepwalked. Thanks to her parents who would buy her an incredibly small bed, moving round meant breaking a hand or leg.So sleepwalking was not in her dictionary at all. Then why she was here?She definitely wouldn’t crawl beside him. Furthermore, the bed wouldn’t allow both of them to fit together. So there was only one reason.Face blushing, she turned to look at him, “You carried me, didn’t you?”“How do you think I could carry you?” Edward snorted and turned to look at her with a cold voice, “If memory serves to right, you should remember that I’m currently injured.”That was right… He was injured. Then could it be that… She really crawled to his side?Ellena had never been in bed with a man. He was too close to her. If it was any other man, his cheeks would already have been printed by her palm. But Edward had such a stro

Ellena froze as soon as she heard the voice. She glanced at the phone screen. It was still an unknown number. But she did not need to think that it was the voice of “Nicklaus.” Ellena frowned. Why was he calling her? Hadn’t he left yet? It’s already noon. “Why haven’t you left yet?” The reply she got was the sound of the call being terminated. Ellena looked at the black screen in disbelief. He hung up on her? She was so frustrated that she held her head and squatted down. Did everyone take the oath to make things difficult for her? Madeline and Ralph gave birth to her but didn’t love her. She was forced to marry into the Arnoult family. Her husband, Edward, hated her so much that he refused to see her. That was also fine to some extent. But now this “Nicklaus” kept pestering her creating more and more unnecessary problems in her life. She really did not want to bother with this shameless man. But, if she were to ignore what “Nicklaus” said, would he tell Edward that she had se

Edward’s father? Frederick Arnoult?The rich and noble man who attracted countless women in Herton City when he was young? The same man who grew such a massive business empire?He was actually calling her? For what?A shiver ran down her spine as Ellena was shocked for a several seconds before she found words to communicate. “Hello, Sir…”Even though he was her father-in-law, she could not utter the word ‘Dad.’“If you have time tonight, I want to treat you a dinner.” Frederick’s voice was calm and firm tempered by years of trials. Though it sounded like an order, it wasn’t offensive.Ellena understood one thing between his words. Although Frederick gave her a choice, she had no room for denials.  She could only agree in response.“Sure, I have time.”“Great. I’ll send the driver to pick you up, see you tonight.”He hung up af

Ellena was surprised. It took her a long time to resister what was happening. She looked at the bodyguard for some minutes, wondering if she was dreaming.So did Edward finally want to see her?A part of her was happy because she was finally going to see her husband. But the part of her felt an indescribable uneasiness.It was rumored that Edward was extremely fickle and cold. If she met him, could she be able to control him? Or could she be able to live a normal life with him?Lots of questions were wondering in her head, as she knocked on the door of the study.She stepped into the study and before she could observe the situation inside, she heard a voice of a man.“Paul, who is it?”The voice was very hoarse just like a desert which had gone years without water. It was quite terrifying.As the voice fade, a suited man standing beside the table stared at her and said, “Master, it’s Madame, your wife.&r

Ellena found that Paul was not looking at her. Perhaps, he hadn’t seen her standing close to ‘Nicklaus’. That was good, she was safe for at least now. She needed to think of a way to get rid of this man. So she slipped into the kitchen silently. Seeing she entered into the kitchen, Edward sat down on the sofa. He had a small smile of victory on his face. It was obvious that he didn’t have any mood to talk with his assistant. So Paul left. Even if he had worked for the man for many years, he had no idea what his boss was thinking. So it was better to leave it as it was. … In the kitchen, Ellena opened the fridge and found fresh vegetables and meat. Not thinking too much, she grabbed some meat and vegetables. But what the heck she was gonna to make for him?   Just as she was about to chop the vegetables, something flashed in her mind. Didn’t Nicklaus make breakfast the first day she arrived here? But there were not any maids
