Ella clapped her hands together with a bright smile."Alright, everyone, let's get started!"The kitchen instantly came alive.Each maid and kitchen assistant hurried to their assigned stations while the chefs waited attentively for instructions."You'll dice the chicken," Ella said, handing a chopping board to one of the assistants."Yes, Madam."The head chef stepped forward curiously."Madam, what are we preparing today?"The others secretly leaned in, equally eager to know.Ella smiled mysteriously."Chicken curry with white rice."The head chef's eyes lit up.Without wasting another second, he hurriedly pulled out his small notebook.He had heard of chicken curry from an old friend who had immigrated to Canada, but he had never learned how to prepare an authentic version.Today was the perfect opportunity.Soon, everyone immersed themselves in their tasks.The rhythmic sounds of knives chopping vegetables and spoons clinking against bowls echoed throughout the spacious kitchen.F

The maids standing on guard caught her attention.They had all exhausted themselves in the kitchen earlier."Go and get your food before it gets cold," she said softly, addressing the maids. She had been wondering why they hadn't left the dining room."We'll do that after we're done serving you, Madam," Maria replied with a respectful bow."Standing there while we eat isn't comfortable," Ella said with a slight frown. Besides, they could serve themselves and return if anything was needed.Maria glanced at Zeke, silently waiting for his permission before dismissing the others.With a gentle wave of his hand, Zeke gave his consent, and Maria immediately ushered the maids out of the dining area.Their faces lit up with grateful smiles. Ella had seen right through them.She suddenly paused. Looking around the dining room, she frowned slightly. "Where's Alex?" Maria answered respectfully. "Assistant Alex is in the other sitting room, Madam. He's still handling some work." Ella frown

Zeke let out a quiet sigh of relief as the last of their guests left the mansion.The once lively living room fell into a comfortable silence.He settled onto the sofa, his eyes immediately searching for Ella.A gentle smile appeared on his lips.Stretching out his arms toward her, he said softly, "Come here."Ella blinked in confusion.Before she could ask what he meant, Zeke gently took her hand and pulled her onto his lap."W-What are you doing?" she asked, her cheeks flushing crimson.A warm smile spread across his handsome face."What?" he asked, feigning innocence. "Didn't you miss me?"His expression was so aggrieved that Ella couldn't help laughing."You look so cute when you're sulking," she murmured shyly.Unable to resist, she leaned forward and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.Zeke raised an eyebrow."That's all?"He pointed to his lips with a smile."I meant here."Ella's heartbeat quickened.She hesitated for a few moments before nervously leaning closer.With eyes tigh

Ella unfastened her seat belt and reached for the door handle.Just as she was about to step out of the car, a familiar voice stopped her."No goodbye kiss?"Zeke looked at her with an expectant smile.Earlier, she had begged him to drop her off at the intersection instead of the school gate, worried about attracting unnecessary attention.He had refused without hesitation."I'll take you to the entrance."There was no room for negotiation.Now, seeing the teasing look in his eyes, Ella's cheeks instantly turned pink.She quickly glanced outside to make sure no one was looking before leaning over and giving him a shy peck on the lips."There..."Before Zeke could say another word, she hurriedly pushed the door open and practically ran toward the campus.Watching her flee in embarrassment, Zeke chuckled softly.His eyes remained fixed on her until she safely disappeared through the school gates.Only then did he instruct the driver to leave....The moment Ella stepped onto campus, she

At the Eleanor residence, the atmosphere was heavy with silence.The entire family sat in the living room, their eyes fixed on the television as the presenter officially announced Ella as the champion.No one spoke.Each of them was lost in their own thoughts.Andrew's face darkened.Disappointment and regret clouded his eyes.He had always believed Bella was the more valuable daughter.But now...The daughter he had cast aside was becoming the center of the nation's attention.If he had known Ella possessed such extraordinary talent and could attract this much public admiration, he would never have driven her out of the Eleanor family.She wasn't a burden.She was an asset.An irreplaceable one.Unfortunately...It was too late for regrets.Beside him, Kathy's face remained cold.Her eyes burned with resentment as Ella's smiling face filled the television screen.Instead of feeling proud, hatred continued to grow inside her heart.Ever since Bella tearfully claimed that Ella had humi
