Chapter 113 113: Is a lie

Stefan's rambling comment nearly made Ella choke on her pancakes. Not only did he laugh at her, but he also spoke to her in a very flattering manner in front of her mother.

She was not sure how he would kiss her, but the way he said it made her stomach turn.

Michelle gave them a quick shove and disappeared into her room, leaving the two alone.

She was relieved to see that someone was genuinely trying to show Ella how important and deserving she was.

Stefan then turned away from Ella and began consuming the pancakes. Michelle called him first thing in the morning and asked if he could come over for breakfast. He therefore took a quick drive to her house, fulfilling her mother's request.

The two quickly finished up their breakfast and even Michelle stepped out of her room to get dressed.

Originally scheduled to depart immediately following breakfast, she chose instead to delay a little as she wanted to spend some more time with her daughter and Stefan.

Michelle was confident that Stefan would not let her down like Max did, so she could trust him with her daughter.

Stefan said to Michelle, "I wish we could spend more time together, Aunty."

She reminded Stefan of his mother, so he immediately warmed up to her, expecting to spend some more time with her.

"Do not worry, I will be by to spend some time with you two, but I have to go for now," Michelle said, taking a look at the time.

Ella made enough money to support the family, but Michelle planned to work and not rely on her daughter for a relevant allowance. That helped her manage her busy schedule, in part because she believed she could work and still be independent.

Stefan grinned as he watched her embrace Ella and then him before heading out.

As soon as they got into the elevator, Stefan stepped closer to Ella, surprising her with his proximity.

"What are you doing? Just go and stand there!" Ella forewarned, gesturing to the spot where he had stood earlier, but this unyielding type would not move.

Rather, he pressed her up against the wall and inched forward, asking, "What if I don't?"
