Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 371 371: Why is he so determined to destroy our family?

After dropping Eveline home, Ella drove back to her apartment with her phone pressed against her ear.

Clicking her tongue in frustration, she glanced at the screen and muttered, "Why isn't she answering my calls?"

She had been trying to reach Mischelle, but the phone continued to ring, unanswered.

By the time she reached her house, she had already called five times and the second she entered inside...

"Ha!"

Ella flinched, startled by the sudden sound. But the moment she saw who it was, her tense expression eased.

"Stefan," she breathed in relief, ending the call and slipping the phone back into her pocket before stepping forward to hug him.

"I missed you," she murmured, holding him tightly.

Stefan caressed her hair before pressing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Me too, that's why I decided to surprise you."

Ella stilled for a moment before tilting her head to look up at him. "How's your father? I'm sorry I didn't get to meet him," she said, a hint of regret in her voice.

Stefan smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. He knows you're busy, and trust me, he isn't upset. We can visit him anytime."

Ella smiled, resting against him as she tried to shake off her exhaustion.

"By the way, who were you calling?" he asked.

"My mom. I wanted to talk to her since I didn't get the chance yesterday, but she's not answering. Maybe she's busy," Ella said with a small sigh.

Stefan nodded in understanding as they made their way to the couch.
