Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 542 Be An Obedient Daughter (Part Two)

Ella closed her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God! It's good that you are alone."

Eddy knitted his brows, looking at the girl in confusion.

Ella shook her head and sat on the bed beside Eddy. "Daddy has changed a lot ever since he came back. He doesn't let me come to your house or see you. I had to wait for him to fall asleep before sneaking out. I'll be leaving soon."

Eddy nodded in understanding.

Although he was happy that the little girl had come to see him, he couldn't understand what was going on.

Ella took a candy wrapped in colorful paper from her pocket and waved at him. "Eddy, look. I have bought you a candy. Isn't it beautiful? I love heart-shaped ones."

The boy nodded, wondering what this was all about.

"This is one of my favorite candies. It is yummy and tastes very sweet." She smiled and placed the candy on his hand. "You can have this after you take your medicine so that it doesn't taste bitter."

Ella stole a glance at the door before leaning closer and whispering into his ear, "Daddy might wake up any time. He will scold me if I'm not there, so I will have to leave now."

Eddy lowered his head, feeling disappointed.

He didn't expect her to leave so soon.

"Don't worry. If my father doesn't find out that I have come to see you, I will manage to come and see you again when he is asleep. The hospital is far from here. The driver charged a lot of money to drop

me here." She pouted. "I spent all my pocket money that I have tried hard to save up. I don't know how long it might take to save it again. It breaks my heart to think about it."

Colin was admitted to a different hospital. Eddy didn't think that she would come in a taxi on her own. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Ella wasn't even five years old yet, and she looked like a delicate doll.

Eddy broke into a cold sweat as he wondered what might happen to her if she met dangerous guys.

"Ella, you should listen to your father. You shouldn't have come here without his knowledge. What if you met bad guys on your way? Everyone would end up worrying about you," Eddy reprimanded her.

"I just wanted to see you. Why are you mad at me?" Ella whined, looking at the ground.

The boy sighed and explained in a calm voice, "Ella, I am really happy that you have come to see me. I was worried that you had forgotten me. But I want you to promise that you will listen to your father from now on. You can come and see me only if he allows you."

"What if Daddy doesn't allow me to see you?" she asked, frowning.

"In that case, I will come to see you when I get better," Eddy replied.

Ella's heart sank. She wanted to cry and throw a tantrum, but the intensity of Eddy's gaze stopped her from making a fuss.

She couldn't understand why her father didn't allow her to see Eddy, and why the boy was stopping her from visiting him as well.

"Eddy, did I do something wrong? You all hate me and don't want me around anymore." Tears welled up in her eyes.

Eddy rolled his eyes and rubbed his forehead in frustration. "You silly girl, what are you thinking about? You should be an obedient daughter. Only then will you be able to come to my house in the future, spend time with my family, and call my mother as Mommy."

Ella's eyes sprang open. But she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Eddy saw the confusion on her face. "Ella, who do you think is the smarter one? You or me?" he asked, knowing that she would stop sneaking around only if he explained the situation to her.

"Of course, you are the smarter one!" she replied immediately.

"Right. Since I am the smarter one, you have to listen to me!" Eddy said firmly.

Ella bit her lip and looked at the boy, feeling defeated.

"All right, all right. I won't come here without my father's knowledge. Don't worry." She nodded and walked out of the ward.

Eddy sighed helplessly and called the bodyguards to escort her back home.

After all, it wasn't safe for her to go back all alone.

Eddy looked at the heart-shaped candy in his hand and smiled. He wanted to rip off the packet and eat it right away, but he slipped it into his pocket.

This was the only candy he had, so he had to cherish it more.

Another day had passed, and Anne was still on the train. She looked at the phone and realized that they still had one more hour to reach the destination.

Anne's body had turned numb after sitting on the train for two whole days. She sighed, wondering why she had chosen S City.

The place was far from home. It meant that she would go through the same ordeal when she went back to her family one day.

Anne regretted her choice. It was too late to change her decision.

She turned to look at Brandon. The boy had been acting weird for the past few hours.

Brandon had been playing with the phone happily. But he put it inside his pocket now and continued to stare out of the window with a murderous look on his face.

The boy was looking like a beast waiting for his prey.

"What's wrong with you?" This was the first time Anne had initiated a conversation.

He turned around and looked at her up and down before looking away.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips before she burst out laughing.

Brandon continued to remain silent, so Anne chose to ignore him. She had asked him a question only to get disappointed.

Meanwhile, Kevin was still in the study. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number. The phone rang before a lazy voice answered, "Mr. Kevin, you have called me thrice in two hours. I know you are rich and don't care about the phone bill. But you have to think about me as well. I need to sleep!"
