Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 The Two of Them

Due to a work transfer, Chloe had to go on a business trip to New York for a month, leaving only Ethan and Ella in the villa. "Please take good care of Aunt Ella for the next month," Chloe patted Ethan on the shoulder before leaving, a hint of teasing in her eyes. "Don't let me down." Ethan felt a little awkward and could only nod.After Chloe left, the atmosphere in the villa became even more subtle. Without the interruption of a third person, the interaction between the two increased. In the evening, Ethan prepared a candlelit dinner — pan-fried steak, roasted vegetables, red wine, and a tiramisu he had specially learned to make."I didn't expect you can make desserts too," Ella looked at the food on the table with a surprised glint in her eyes."When I worked part-time in a supermarket before, I learned a little from the pastry chef," Ethan said, looking somewhat embarrassed.During dinner, they chatted, talking about the weather in Los Angeles, their college days, the nursing major, and their hobbies. Ethan discovered that Ella was not only beautiful but also very talented — she understood art, knew equestrianism, and could speak three languages."Why did you choose the nursing major?" Ella suddenly asked."My father has been ill for years. When I was a kid, I often accompanied him to the hospital. I think nurses are great; they can help a lot of people," Ethan replied. "Moreover, the nursing major has good employment prospects in the United States. I want to stay in Los Angeles and provide a better life for my family."Ella looked at him with gentle eyes and said, "You are very filial and responsible."
