Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 185
Chapter 185: But now no talking, only loving Chapter 185: But now no talking, only loving Ella locked herself in her room.
She wanted to be alone without being interrupted, so when Stefan dropped her off at home, she stepped out of the car and walked inside the building without giving him another glance.
She knew it was impolite, but all she wanted to do was get away from him before she burst into tears in his presence.
Ella had no idea she was silently crying as she recalled the most wonderful moments of her life with Stefan.
She never imagined Stefan would be able to make her forget Max and help her break free from her insecure bubble, but now she wonders if she was truly outside of that box.
No, she wasn’t; otherwise, Priscilla’s words wouldn’t have ripped her heart so easily.
As she proceeded to bury herself in her bitter words, her phone rang, and she shifted her focus away from her pain to see who had called.
Her eyes froze when she saw her mother’s name, and she brushed away her tears before picking it up.
“Hello?” Ella spoke in a shaky voice.
She tried not to cry, but tears started to pool in her eyes.
“Ella, is everything alright?” Michelle’s voice brought her to tears, and she cried her heart out in front of her.
“Mom, why is life so unjust to me?
Was I not born to love?
Why is my life on a thread of being left out anytime I consider giving it a chance?” Ella was unable to control her pain and voiced it in front of her mother.
Mischelle kept quiet, tears flowing down her cheeks as she listened to her daughter wail her heart out.
She understood what Ella was going through and was ready to listen to her as always.
Her daughter always appeared to be strong, but only she knew that wasn’t the reality and that she was actually frail and sensitive at heart.
“Mom, I like him, but I know he will find someone more gorgeous than me and leave me.
I’ll be left alone; why, Mom, can’t I be happy for once?” Ella continues to spill out everything she has bottled up for years, finally being vulnerable.
“Am I not lovable, Mom. Aren’t I worth fighting for?
Why does everyone want to leave me?” she pondered.
First her father abandoned her, then Max, and now the prospect of Stefan becoming tired of her and abandoning her was tearing her heart apart.
“If you think, Stefan will leave you then let me clear it Ella, he won’t because if he had to he wouldn’t have told me about your deal of faking your relationship before me” Ella immediately became silent, her mind frozen by her words.
“I know you asked him to be your fake boyfriend because you didn’t want to hurt me,” she explained, leaving her dumbfounded.
Mischelle was aware of their agreement through Stefan, who did not appear to conceal such a significant fact from her when he sincerely intended to pursue her daughter.
Stefan genuinely liked Ella, but knowing she wasn’t ready to open her heart after a failed romantic relationships, he ought to get advice from her mother to ensure he wasn’t lying to her when wooing her daughter.
“He told you about the agreement?” Ella asked.
“Yes, and do you know what he said?” she inquired.
“He stated that he loves you and wants to remove all of the negative memories that have caused you to look down on yourself.
He claimed he wants to offer you everything and make you happy by genuinely courting you” Ella sobbed and covered her mouth as Mischelle continued to speak.

She knew what her mother said was correct because she felt it in every moment she spent with Stefan.
“I know life has been unfair to you Ella, but don’t let it destroy your bond with Stefan, because no matter what, he will never let you go.
Don’t let your past ruin your future, El ” she stated, letting out a muffled sob.
Ella had always believed she was unlovable due of her history, so when she discovered a moment of bliss, she clung to it without realizing how much it would pain her.
Because of her blind love and faith in Max, she noticed only his positive qualities and ignored his negative ones.
But what he did in the end.
He cheated on her.
Stefan, on the other hand, had always been expressive about his sentiments and was most likely extremely upfront about how much he loved her.
Even after they decide to fake their relationship in front of her mother, he decides to tell her the truth because he genuinely wants to court her without keeping any secrets.
If this wasn’t the kind of love she desired, then was it?
He was altering himself for her, being honest with not only himself but also with everyone around him, and most likely attempting to understand her despite her ignorance.
“Mom…’ Ella murmured but was unable to speak further.
“I think you should go and talk things out Ella instead of overthinking yourself and hurting the person who is ready to accept you the way you are” Ella nodded back, despite the fact that her mother would not be able to see it.
After speaking with Michelle, she realised how mistaken she had been to believe Stefan would leave her at some time.
Even if he did have second thoughts, she would not stop him since, like him, she loves him and is willing to work hard to make this relationship work.
She hung up the phone and got on her heels, ready to leave the house.
But as soon as she opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise, and her feet halted staring at the person before her.
“Stefan,” she said in surprise.
Stefan, who had never left after dropping her, deliberated whether to follow her or not.
But he understood it would be a hassle to upset her if he followed her for no reason.
So he drove to her favorite children’s shop and bought some fried chicken and beer before returning to her flat.
“I-I brought you your favorite fried chicken,” he mumbled, glancing at her puzzled gaze.
Stefan knew he needed to give Ella some space, but he couldn’t since she was silently hurting herself.
Furthermore, he wanted to ensure her safety by keeping an eye on her.
Ella’s gaze softened as she focused on the bag in his hands.
Her lips trembled and tears welled up in her eyes, moved by his thoughtful gesture.
Stefan, who had been poised to remain calm, panicked as he saw the tears in her eyes and dashed into the house, closing the door behind him.
“El, I simply wanted to make sure you didn’t skip dinner.
But if you don’t want to eat them, that’s alright.
I’ll get something else for you, or maybe nothing,” he mumbled, unable to understand his thoughts at the sight of her weeping face.
“No…” she replied, shaking her head.
Stefan suspected she didn’t want to see him, which was why she was denying, so he swiftly placed the bag on the table and moved back.
His hands were fidgeting uncomfortably.
“Okay, I understand.
If you don’t want to see me, I will go.
But, please, don’t skip dinner,” he begged, looking everywhere but at her.
Ella continued to deny his remarks, but he was so preoccupied with disguising his pain that he swiftly turned to go.
Stefan had barely reached for the knob when he felt a movement from behind him, followed by a pair of slender arms hugging him.
“I will not skip my dinner.
But please don’t leave, you idiot!” She yelled, shocking him on his track.
Stefan blinked before gently turning to face her.
“I’ll eat everything, but don’t leave,” she pleaded, sniffing and raising her head to gaze at him.
“O-Okay” he said.
Ella wiped the tears from her face and took his hand.
She wanted to confront him about his discussion with her mother, but more importantly, she wanted to ensure that he would not abandon her.
After everything she’d learnt, all she wanted was to keep this man to herself and out of her sight.
She wanted to pour her heart out and kiss him continuously till she forgot about her history.
Stefan remained silent, his heart thumping violently within his chest.
Ella’s silence had always bothered him, but he also understood that he couldn’t simply push her.
“El, I understand you are upset over something, but please do not injure yourself silently.
I won’t ask you anything.
You can take your time.
Just be sure you don’t-” His remarks were cut short when Ella threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
“You talk a lot, Stefan,” she murmured, brushing their lips.
She then gazed into his eyes and stated, “But now, no talking, only loving” Stefan gulped at the sound of her deep and alluring voice, but soon his senses heightened with the meaning behind those words and his arms around her tightened.
