Chapter 851: Chapter 869: Extra - Suddenly Miss You (13)

Elijah Smith’s gaze froze on the TV screen.

As Ella Adams elegantly sat down, the host holding the microphone eagerly began, "It’s such a rare occasion to have Miss Adams as a guest today."

Ella Adams gave a light smile and said, "Hello."

What followed was a ten something minutes long business interview, detailing her journey as a businesswoman. Elijah Smith didn’t care about the content; he just fixed his gaze on Ella Adams on the screen, comparing her silently to the Ella Adams who once cuddled up to him, asking for his attention.

She was much more beautiful now and made his heart race even faster. However, her eyes had lost some of their purity and cleanliness and gained a sense of detachment and indifference.

When she spoke, it was still her habit to smile first, but those smiles didn’t reach her eyes anymore, leaving people with the impression that she was no longer smiling wholeheartedly.

Her responses were always brief, usually limited to under fifteen words, with the host doing most of the talking. In the end, in what seemed like an attempt to lighten the atmosphere, the host asked Ella Adams some personal questions: "Miss Adams, there aren’t many women as beautiful and talented as you. I’m sure you have many admirers. Have you ever met someone you’d consider marrying?"

Ella Adams still maintained a light smile on her face, but her heart ached severely.

Marriage... the idea was the strongest in her heart back when she first met Elijah Smith five years ago.

If someone had asked her that question back then, she would have answered without hesitation: I want to marry Elijah Smith.

But now, the man she wanted to marry the most had become a stranger to her, completely disconnected from her life.

Only at this point did she realize that deep down, she still held on to a glimmer of hope... the hope that she and Elijah Smith could still get married.

Was this a lack of spine?

Maybe it was... Since their resolute breakup at the Starhaven University entrance café five years ago, when she had hoped he would try to hold onto their relationship, until she lay on the operating table, preparing to remove the little yellow bean inside her body, she had harbored resentment in her heart.

But, as the doctor was about to perform the surgery, she pushed him away without any spine and stumbled out of the hospital.

Five years later, she still lacked spine.

However, the person who had pushed her away back then was him, and he would rather lose her than take the initiative again.

Ella Adams lowered her eyes and told the TV screen, "I don’t have any plans for marriage at the moment, but perhaps I will get married."

...

After leaving the television station, Ella Adams received a phone call from Clarence Cooper.

They were introduced through a mutual friend and they weren’t exactly boyfriend and girlfriend, but they still kept in touch.

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

...

I don’t have any plans for marriage at the moment, but perhaps I will get married...

This statement easily sparked people’s imagination.

Did she have a boyfriend? And had they reached the point of discussing marriage?

As Elijah Smith’s heart was being weighed down by these conjectures, the door to the private booth was pushed open, and Clarence entered, "CEO Smith, I’m sorry to keep you waiting."
