The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 189

“I need you to help my family get out of these troubling times and get back on its feet.”

“What can I do to help?” Sebastian asked.

“You don’t have to worry about that. You only have to cooperate with me on this,” Ellie said with a smile.

Ellie looked very excited as if she was plotting something.

Sebastian looked at Ellie in confusion. He felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked out of the window but didn’t see anything strange. Nevertheless, he was a little flustered.

Sebastian was very sensitive. Although he didn’t see anything, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

“Don’t worry. As long as we join forces, they will pay the price.” Ellie thought that he was worried about her plan. This was not like the Sebastian she knew. When she passed the girl, she saw Sebastian’s gaze lingering on that person.

“Are you sure?” Although he had never rejected Ellie, Sebastian couldn’t help but reconfirm.

“Of course, I’m sure. How could I lie to you about our relationship? Although the Soladina family is eyeing us covetously, the whole of London is targeting the Soladina family. If he doesn’t fight back, he might fail or even fall. So I think this is the only chance for me to take back my family’s power,” Ellie said seriously.

“Since you put it that way, I can’t stop you.” Sebastian nodded. “Let’s go back for dinner tonight. Raphael is back too. It’s been a long time since you two saw each other.”

“Okay, it’s a deal,” Ellie said with a smile.

Sophia felt a sharp pain in her heart when Ellie walked out of the car with Sebastian on her arm. They were so well-matched and beautiful together. They looked like they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Maybe, Sebastian was sad for several months when Ellie had to go back to England to inherit the family business. She was jealous that such a good man didn’t belong to her.

Anita had said that Sebastian never brought girls home, so Ellie must be special.

But she soon regained her calm. After all, they were not a couple even though everyone told her they were destined to be together.

So, how could there still be so much hesitation between them? Ellie’s appearance also proved this point. Sebastian was not suitable for her. Coincidentally, she was staying for dinner.

Ellie held Sebastian’s arm as they walked into the dining room. As soon as she entered the dining room, she saw Sophia and waved at her.

Sophia smiled at Ellie, but it was a little forced.

“Hello, are you the girl who was in Sebastian’s office today? You are here too.” Ellie smiled and greeted Sophia.

Sebastian was stunned when he saw Sophia. His arm subconsciously shrank.

“Hello, I am Sophia,” Sophia introduced herself in a friendly manner. Ellie was about to introduce herself, but Raphael interrupted her.

“Oh my, Ellie is back. She went to look for your Sebastian as soon as she came back. I’m also working at NRTE. Why didn’t she come to see me?! Don’t you know how hard my life is now? Don’t you care about my life?” Raphael complained exaggeratedly.

“Well, I’m here, am I not? I came to see you specially. How are you, Raphael?” Ellie turned to look at Raphael.

Other than Raphael, everyone else at the table was exceptionally quiet. Raphael knew this was a delicate war, but he could only try his best to make the atmosphere less awkward.

However, there were always a few sudden minutes of silence, making it even more awkward. Finally, hearing Ellie and Raphael reminiscing about the fun they had for hours, Sophia lowered her head and ate her food.

“Do you remember that time when you snuck out to play? I went to look for you, but I couldn’t find you even after searching the entire school. I was terrified at that time. Later, my parents called me and scolded me, saying I didn’t help their good friend Alex take care of his daughter. I was even grounded. Do you think I was misunderstood?”

“You and Sebastian secretly ran to that hillside and said you wanted to watch the sunrise.

Hahaha! No one watches the sunrise in the middle of the night, and it was a cloudy day. Hahahahaha!” Raphael laughed loudly.

Anita could see that Raphael had drunk too much. Sebastian and Sophia, who were beside him, looked increasingly upset. Anita kicked Raphael, trying to stop him, but this guy became very relaxed when he had too much alcohol. The more he talked, the more excited he became.

“You still haven’t told me what happened that night?”
