Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 103: Coincidence

Chapter 103: Coincidence

Eric’s smile was devilishly charming as he boldly laughed, holding Ella close, "Thanks to your kind words, we might have a cute little baby soon!"

Ella’s face immediately turned red as she shot Eric a resentful glance.

Have a baby? She was only eighteen and definitely didn’t want kids!

She hadn’t experienced a passionate romance, lived a free-spirited life, or avenged her big grudge yet!

How could she get distracted by pregnancy?

Walking out of City Hall, Ella’s gaze was distant. Eric hugged her as they got into the car, pinching her cheek with a smile, "What’s wrong? What are you thinking about so deeply?"

Ella pouted and frowned, saying resentfully, "Eric, I don’t want to have kids so soon... I’m only eighteen, it’s the best time of my youth. Why should I have kids now? I haven’t even avenged my big grudge!"

Eric laughed so hard he could barely breathe, "Silly, having a baby is entirely up to you. If you want to have one right away, then we’ll have one right away. If you want to wait until after you graduate from college, then we’ll wait until then..."

Ella couldn’t help but smile sweetly, "Thank you for respecting my wishes, Eric!"

Eric raised an eyebrow, his mischievous smile even more alluring, "Honey, we’ve already got our marriage license. Shouldn’t you call me ’babe’?"

Ella bit her lip, but the blush on her face deepened, making her delicate face even more enchanting.

"Babe! Thank you!"

Eric’s mood lifted instantly, his eyes filled with joy, "I’m taking you somewhere that will definitely surprise you!"

Ella bit her lip, feeling inexplicably sweet inside, even though he hadn’t introduced her to his family or mentioned anything about a wedding.

But looking at this man’s handsome, determined profile and his smiling face, she couldn’t help but feel a lot happier.

The car drove steadily forward, the roadside scenery continuously retreating. Ella noticed the road signs indicating they were heading toward the beach.

Twenty minutes later, the car entered Crystal Lake Manor.

Ella’s face turned pale instantly!

How could she forget that one of the estates within Crystal Lake Manor was the marital home Robert had bought for her in her previous life?

Crystal Lake Manor was a seaside residential villa developed by Nelson Group, divided into six estates.

Each estate was worth over a billion, and in her past life, Ella remembered Robert had bought one for fifty million, with the property deed in her name.

So at this moment, she suddenly thought about the house from her previous life. Was it really bought by Robert, or...?

Life’s coincidences were strange. Ella silently prayed that the place Eric was taking her to wasn’t the same house from her past life!

"Honey, I’ve heard about these estates here. They sell for two to three billion each. But is there any way someone could buy one for fifty million?"Ella threw out this question.

"Ha... Honey, you’re quite the joker. Getting one for fifty million? It’s possible if the buyer is me. I can get it at that price!"

After all, Nelson Group had over a dozen shareholders. Even if Eric had his eye on a house or an estate, he couldn’t get it for free.

"Oh, is it possible to rent one?" Ella blinked in confusion.

"Actually, yes. One of the houses was rented out, for only twenty million a year."

Ella blinked again. It seemed that in her past life, Robert hadn’t bought the seaside estate but rented it.

He had rented it to deceive her and swindle all her shares, which turned out to be a very profitable investment for him, didn’t it?

The car headed towards the direction Ella knew all too well.

Her hands were trembling slightly. The sea area next to her newlywed villa in her previous life was where she fell to her death!

No matter how hard she tried, could she never escape the cycle of fate?

"What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Eric stopped the car, the trees on both sides blocking the intense summer sunlight. The scattered light fell on the car, highlighting Ella’s pale face.

"Nothing, I’m just nervous... about where you’re taking me!" Ella smiled. In reality, this road was the same one she had traveled day and night during the first year of her marriage to Brandon in her past life.

How could she not know that Eric was taking her to her previous life’s marital home?

"Oh, is that all... We’re already married, so even if I take you to a villa and keep you there for days, there’s no need to worry." Eric thought Ella was genuinely nervous and chuckled lightly before starting the car again.

Ella took a deep breath. How should she refuse to live in that house?

As clever as she was, she could almost guess that Eric was planning to give her the marital home!

A few minutes later, the car drove into the villa Ella knew all too well!

The Seaside Serenity Estate!

Opening the car door, Ella stepped out, her face visibly pale. Even the vibrant flowers in the front yard, blooming as brilliantly as in her past life’s memories, seemed harsh and glaring.

"Come on, let’s go inside and take a look!" Eric chuckled, pulling Ella along as he pushed open the glass doors of the hall.

The interior of the villa was identical to her past life! It had the same European style, with ivory white floors and light yellow wallpaper adorned with classical patterns, each line deeply textured!

A huge crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling of the hall, its intricate crystal roses clear and transparent, lighting up the entire first floor at night.

The walls were adorned with European-style oil paintings, and the villa exuded an air of grand luxury!

But Ella felt only a chilling coldness, her head spinning! Memories of her life with Brandon flashed before her eyes!

Brandon had been a masterful actor, his performance worthy of an Oscar!

Despite being in love with Hannah, he had married her and flawlessly played the role of a loving husband post-marriage!

He had never shown any impatience towards Ella, always gentle and caring, and pretending to love her deeply.

This intense love had made the past Ella more arrogant, willful, and domineering.

The red leather sofa in the living room—Ella remembered countless times sitting on it with Brandon watching TV, which often turned into their passionate encounters...

Brandon had sent all the servants home and had her in his arms on that vivid red sofa, passionately making love to her...

The echoes of her moans, her cries, and their shared gasps seemed to linger in her ears!

Ella felt a wave of icy coldness wash over her! She had been the most foolish and pitiful woman in the world back then!

Yet, at that time, she had no reactions, no suspicions, and had even thought she was the happiest woman on earth!

"Ella, what’s wrong? You look worse and worse. Why are your hands so cold?" Eric noticed that Ella showed no signs of joy.

She stood there, trembling, her expression filled with fear, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world!
