Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 310 310: Eveline is not Uncle Jonathan's daughter

Stefan took the inebriated Ella back to a hotel room that he had urgently rented. They were intended to fly back home the same day, but due to unexpected circumstances, he had to postpone their departure till the next day.

Stefan closed the door with his leg and came inside the room, assisting Ella to sit on the bed. She was swaying because she had consumed so much alcohol, but what disturbed him the most was that she had stopped crying and said nothing.

She never sobbed while drowning in her pain.

Stefan thought it strange because it was simple to relax when she cursed or vented her feelings, but the silence and numbness on her end were ripping his heart out. He wondered how deeply the truth had cut through her—that she didn't feel enough pain to scream.

While he continued to look at her, he realized how odd life was and that seeing it develop in such a heartbreaking manner was not something he wanted for Ella. She was once a pure spirit, but now she resembled the broken doll that felt nothing but numbness.

Sigh...

Stefan cautiously kneeled before her, carefully removing her shoes and setting them aside. He then collected her legs and positioned them to lie flat on the bed.

Stefan was so careful that he worried that even the slightest forceful touch would break her.

"Go to sleep," he murmured near her ear, carefully helping her lie down.

Stefan really wanted this night to finish so he could see his old Ella again tomorrow. Though it was a wishful fantasy, he still longed to see her talk and behave as she had before.

Ella continued to stare blankly at the ceiling, while Stefan caressed her hair like a mother coaxing her child into sleep.

It took him some time, but she eventually dozed off, and he quickly tucked her under the comforter before leaving the room.

Stefan stepped into the living room and pulled out his phone, which displayed Michelle's missed calls.

He had been deliberately delaying picking them up since he was completely concerned about Ella, whom he never wanted to see again. Attending Michelle's call was something he would like to do later.
