Chapter 94 94: I can be the person

"You were meant to leave the meeting and head home. What drew you back to the office?" Ella asked, utterly taken aback by his words.

Given what transpired yesterday, how can I allow you to return home alone?" Stefan shrugged and put his hand in his pocket. "Plus, I was going to take you somewhere before I dropped you off at home."

Stefan was meant to accompany his father, but he excused himself, saying he had some work to do, took his car keys, and called another car for himself.

Throughout the meeting, he was plagued by a persistent fear for Ella's safety. As the meeting came to an end and it was time to head out, he altered his plans and headed straight to the office.

Ella was helped into the car by Stefan, who then proceeded to the driver's seat on the opposite side.

They soon started driving, with Stefan keeping their destination a closely-guarded secret.

"Here is the ice cream for the lady." Stefan's voice seized Ella's attention from the sea and she smiled, taking the cone from his hand.

"I have not been here before." Ella uttered these words, "This place is so beautiful, Stefan," as she delighted in her meal at the beachside stalls, finishing it off with ice cream for dessert.

Stefan grinned and took a scoop of his ice cream, saying, "Then I must make sure to take you to every beautiful places in the city that you are missed seeing."

It was the most at ease Ella had ever felt. Ever since she was aware of it, her life had been filled with work and studies. She was never given any personal time.

She did not remember Max taking her anywhere to spend quality time with her, even after they started dating.

After graduating, he was unemployed for nearly a year before accepting a job that paid him inadequately.

Ella realized now that she had been carrying the majority of the load since she was so enamored with a man who understood his responsibilities.

While he just went around and fucked other women, Ella was the only one who considered their future, from supporting him to purchasing a house for them.

Ella experienced what it is like to be betrayed by someone you thought you would be with forever—it breaks you.
