Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 67: Never Leaving Again

Ella’s tears flowed freely as she allowed him to ravage her with his desperate kisses. Her soul trembled under his fervent touch, rekindling the flames of a connection long dormant.

It had been so long... so long since they were together. She missed him terribly.

Yet, because of the heartbreak in her past life, she couldn’t let herself love a man deeply again. When Eric stopped seeking her out, she resolved to let go.

Only heaven knew how much she had missed him during those days!

His kisses ignited a fire within her, and her body began to respond, but his rough intensity pressed painfully on her wounded arm.

"Ahh..." Ella gasped in pain, and Eric immediately released her, his eyes filled with concern.

Seeing her pale face blush and noticing the bandages on her arm, Eric gently took her hand. "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Of course it hurts, you idiot," Ella sobbed. All her pain and despair had erupted during her outburst. Her physical wounds ached, but her heart ached more.

"I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have left you," Eric said, his eyes full of regret. He gently pulled Ella into his embrace.

"I won’t leave you again, Ella. I admit I was wrong about Charles... I won’t play games anymore. But you can’t be flirting with other men!"

Eric’s breath was hot against her face, and Ella remained silent.

"Ella, did you hear me?"

He pulled her back, looking into her tear-filled eyes.

Ella smiled faintly. "I heard you, Mr. Nelson. Are you really... planning to stay with me?"

"Yes."

"No matter what I do in the future, no matter how I treat you, you won’t leave?"

"Unless it’s a real betrayal, I won’t leave you," Eric sighed softly. His heart belonged to this young woman.

He caressed her face gently. "I’ll help you get back at those who wronged you."

"In most cases, I don’t need your help," Ella shook her head wearily. Living again, she wanted to personally make those scoundrels suffer.

Seeing Ella’s cold and distant demeanor, Eric’s heart ached. He held her hand tightly. "Are you still mad at me?"

Ella shook her head lightly. "How could I dare be mad at you?"

Eric gazed deeply into her eyes as she lowered them and slowly closed them.

Unable to resist, he leaned in again, gently capturing her lips, murmuring softly between kisses, "I’m sorry... I was wrong before. Ella, please don’t be angry anymore, okay?"

Ella’s heart trembled. She just wanted to see if her cold treatment would make Eric throw another tantrum.

"Ella, I love you!" His warm breath tickled her earlobe, making her shiver. His hand slipped inside her clothes.

Ella jumped, quickly grabbing his hand with her uninjured right hand. "Eric, can you not act like a lecher every time you see me?"

Eric reluctantly withdrew his hand. With Ella injured, it was hardly the time for foreplay. "Ella, don’t you know? I’ve had no other women all these years. How can I not be sexually hungry?"

"No way, Mr. Nelson. You have so many rumored girlfriends, and... you never slept with any of them?" Ella teased, a playful smile easing the tension.

Eric’s heart lightened at her jest. If she could joke with him, it meant she had forgiven him.

"They all used me for publicity," Eric scoffed disdainfully.

Ella looked at him incredulously. "Publicity? If you get nothing out of it, why let them use you?"

"Do you think I’m the kind of beast who just sleeps with any woman?" Eric was annoyed. He prided himself on being one of the rare men who didn’t engage in casual relationships, yet Ella still doubted him.

"Alright, I believe you," Ella said, her expression skeptical.

"If I had slept with those women, you wouldn’t have been able to attract me now," Eric teased with a smile.

"Eric, when did I ever try to seduce you?"

"Okay, maybe it was me who seduced you! From now on, I won’t let anyone harm you," Eric declared, a fierce determination in his eyes.

When he saw that video, he had wanted to eliminate everyone in the Davis family except Ella.

"If there’s a time when I need your help, I’ll let you know. But I don’t want a repeat of last time," Ella said softly, looking seriously at Eric.

"Alright, I’ll discuss everything with you before I act," Eric promised, gently brushing her bangs aside. "Are you hungry? Let’s eat together."

"Yes, let’s eat here," Ella agreed. She missed this man, and since he sought forgiveness, she decided to be straightforward. Being coy wasn’t her style.

Dinner was quickly delivered from the Nelson Group’s hotel, filled with Ella’s favorite dishes.

As they started eating, Chloe and Charles arrived, bringing dinner for Ella.

Seeing Eric in the room, Charles’s face darkened.

Eric stood up, looking calmly at Charles. "Mr. Carter, Ella and I have reconciled. If you’re unhappy about your engagement, I can relieve you of that burden."

Charles cast a cold glance at Eric, while Ella awkwardly cleared her throat.

Chloe looked back and forth between them. "Um, what are you guys talking about? I don’t understand."

"Chloe, let’s eat together!" Ella quickly changed the subject.

"Thanks for the offer, Mr. Nelson, but I’ll handle it myself. I just hope Mr. Nelson won’t hurt Ella again. She’s a good girl," Charles said, looking at Ella with a layer of melancholy in his eyes.

She was with Eric again. She must really like him. He realized he had no chance.

"You don’t need to remind me. Anyone who hurts her will pay double," Eric said, his face darkening.

"Ella, are you feeling better? I thought you hadn’t eaten dinner, so I brought something with my brother," Chloe said, placing the food container aside and then noticing the exquisite dishes on the cart. She gasped in surprise.

"So many dishes, all from the Nelson Group’s signature menu?"

"Yes, let’s eat together!" Ella smiled.

"No, thanks. Ella, you should move to my house. Your vicious stepmother and violent brother won’t leave you alone so easily," Chloe said, looking worriedly at Ella. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ella shook her head. "For now, I’ll stay at home. After what happened, they won’t dare act against me so easily."
