Chapter 737: Chapter 755: Pain should be shared by everyone (8)

But when the doctor planned to operate on her, she weakly pushed him away and stumbled out.

Five years later, she was still weak-willed.

She wondered if falling in love with someone would make her so humble, but all she knew was that the blood flowing through her veins contained only deep, unwavering affection.

But the one who once pushed her away was him, preferring to lose her rather than take the initiative.

Ella Adams lowered her eyes and said to the TV screen, "I have no plans to get married yet, but I may get married."

...

After coming out of the Television Station, Ella Adams received a phone call from Clarence Cooper.

They met through a friend, and although they were not a boyfriend and girlfriend, they had a good connection.

So, when Clarence said he wanted her to accompany him to meet a client that night, Ella Adams didn’t refuse and drove to the address he mentioned.

...

"I have no plans to get married yet, but maybe I will..."

Such a sentence could easily evoke speculation.

Could it be that she had a boyfriend? And had already reached the stage of discussing marriage?

As Elijah Smith’s heart was filled with conjectures and repressed feelings, the door of the private booth opened, and Clarence walked in, "Sorry, CEO Smith, for keeping you waiting."

"It’s alright." Elijah Smith stood up and courteously greeted Clarence, just about to shake hands with him when he saw Ella Adams following behind, wearing high heels, and smiling.

Just now he was wondering if Ella Adams had a boyfriend, and the next second he saw her with his business partner. Elijah understood the implications.

In a moment, an indescribable pain spread throughout his body, causing him to stiffen for a long while before regaining his composure and shaking hands politely with Clarence.

"Let me introduce you to..," Clarence stepped aside and pointed to Ella Adams and said, "...Ella Adams."

"Ella, this is Elijah Smith."

Elijah Smith swallowed, didn’t say a word, and just stared at Ella Adams.

Though having a calm expression, Ella Adams felt like she was hallucinating. How could his partner be him? Fate was indeed strange; five years might pass without her seeing him, but now she saw him again so frequently.

After Clarence finished introducing them, Ella Adams closed her eyes, opened them again, and then addressed Elijah Smith, who was standing tall in front of her, "Mr. Smith, nice to meet you."

She called him "Mr. Smith"...with a polite and indifferent tone. Elijah Smith’s hand subconsciously clenched into a fist, and it felt as if his throat was dry with bitterness, it took him a while to nod and say, "Nice to meet you."

Clarence didn’t notice anything wrong between the two, and after they greeted each other, he enthusiastically invited them to sit down. He was particularly gentlemanly, pulling out a chair for Ella Adams, and after she had seated herself, he called for the waiter to order dishes.

As the steaming local cuisine dishes were served, Clarence took up the flavorful white wine and poured a glass for everyone. Elijah Smith, however, took up his glass of pear juice and poured one.

Pear juice was Ella Adams’ favorite freshly squeezed fruit juice. He held the cup and, as usual, naturally pushed it in front of Ella Adams when Clarence also pushed a cup of white wine in front of her.

Ella Adams looked down at the glass of white wine and pear juice before her, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her hand to accept Clarence’s white wine.

Elijah Smith frowned and said, "You can’t drink."

"It’s okay, drinking a little won’t hurt." Clarence continued the conversation, raising his glass and saying, "Come on, let’s drink up."
