Chapter 114

Although Ella understood why Gerald wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend, she was feeling guilty for lying to his mother. What if they find out later that she had been lying? Won't they be disappointed in her?

Ella looked at the badly injured man on the bed and his pleading look. She smiled as their eyes met.

"I knew she was your girlfriend! A girl couldn't do such a thing when you're dying," Mrs. Stealthson replied, 

As Gerald's mother was talking, Mr. Stealthson smiled faintly. He wondered why his son was so much against marriage. Others might not have seen them but he observed every single interaction between his son and the girl.

Looking at the girl's surprised look, he knew there was nothing between them. But he wouldn't disclose their lies. That's because he already noticed that the girl was likely in love with his son.

Maybe she might make him fall in love with her, right? That would be great news.
