She blinked her big eyes, gently biting her lower lip, her gaze fixed on Elijah Reed, while Elijah's gaze was fixed on his phone.
However, what made Elijah helpless was that he had finished telling a story, yet Ella Turner was still staring at him, silly grin on her face, showing no sign of sleepiness, while he himself felt his eyelids grow heavy, wanting to sleep.
When he glanced at Ella again, that girl was still looking at him with a silly grin.
Elijah took a deep breath, frowned, and looked at her for a moment, and Ella just looked at him without saying a word.
Their eyes met, and Elijah no longer felt as nervous as before, only finding it somewhat amusing.
So, he shook his head, exhaled deeply to show his helplessness.
Ella noticed the smile at the corner of his mouth and extended her small hand, tightly holding his fingers, coyly saying, "Elijah, I'm still not asleep."
