"I'm really sorry, my mind lagged behind and I didn't realize my feelings for you in time. I'm sorry for embarrassing you last time." After Elijah Reed kissed Ella Turner, it was like an emotional barrier had been lifted, and his words flowed out smoothly, without any embarrassment.
"Pfft..." Ella couldn't help but laugh out loud at Elijah's confession, her heart blooming with joy. She raised her hands, tightly wrapping them around his neck, resting her small face against his chest.
Looking at the girl's tenderness, Elijah held her tightly and leaned in to whisper softly, "Ella, please don't leave. I'll take care of you."
"Uh-huh!" Ella nodded vigorously, thinking that her intuition was indeed correct; Elijah did like her.
Maya Spencer listened to Elijah's confession and made a peculiar "tsk tsk tsk" sound, exclaiming, "This kid, when he becomes thick-skinned, is quite likable!"
