Chapter 254 254: Fears from the past
[Back to Ella's place]
"You didn't tell me what happened you there?" Stefan questioned putting the food in the refrigerator while Ella continued to sip from her water glass.
The glass came to a halt on her lips as she stared at Stefan, who had completed his duty and stepped towards the counter, leaning his hand over the surface to look directly into her eyes.
Ella discreetly gazed at him and put the glass down. She then wiped the residue from her lips and gulped.
"I told you, I just happened to lose my way," she answered, disregarding his gaze.
Stefan cocked his brow, plainly noticing the deception written on her face. He would agree with her, but was the store large enough for her to get lost, and why was she afraid when she spotted him?
"Okay I believe you lost your way, but what about the fear I saw in your eyes when you saw me" was his query.
Ella bit her lips. She was just too terrified to speak up, despite having the confidence to do so last night.
Jack's comments tortured her, bringing back memories she was supposed to have buried deep within her heart. Why was fate so unfair to her that she had to beg for happiness?
Stefan sighed as he noticed her continued skepticism. He straightened himself and walked around the counter to stand in front of her. He reached out his hand and gripped her face, forcing her to look at him.
Ella was doing her best not to show her anxieties on her face, but with Stefan's deep eyes piercing into her soul, she couldn't keep pretending for long.
