Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 720: fdwbvdbveifv

When Ella received the call from the maid, she was just returning home from school, walking into the Carter Family building with Chloe by her side.

After hanging up, Ella’s face was lit with a smile, clearly in a good mood. Brianna must have been suffering—what a satisfying thought!

"Why are you smiling so happily?" Chloe teased with a grin. "Did Mr. Nelson call you for a secret rendezvous?"

"Ugh, you and your nonsense! It wasn’t him!" Ella laughed, explaining that Eric had been extremely busy lately, gathering "classified news" about James and the other shareholders.

Of course, if there wasn’t any dirt to dig up, Eric and his team were more than capable of creating some negative press!

As a result, Eric hadn’t been able to take Ella to their new house in the past few days.

The two entered the Carter Family’s lobby, only to hear Mrs. Carter’s laughter coming from the living room. "Nora, it’s great that you came back early, especially since you’re already a few months along. You can always go on your honeymoon later!"

Ella’s smile froze—she hadn’t expected Charles and his new wife, Nora, to return so soon.

She had moved here partly to quash any rumors about her living with a man, and also because Charles wasn’t home, so she thought she’d stay for a while until Eric found her a new place.

After all, as a high school student, if she were to live at the Eternal Sea Estate, it would raise all kinds of eyebrows, with people likely assuming she was being kept by some wealthy man.

People are quick to gossip, and while Ella wanted to maintain a good image, she also wanted to marry Eric officially after going to college.

Although the Nelson family didn’t treat Eric well, Ella didn’t want him to be talked about behind his back, with people saying that his young wife was already involved with another man...

But now that Charles was back, showing up here might seem awkward.

Chloe, on the other hand, was thrilled. She rushed over, exclaiming, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back! What did you bring me? Why did you come back so soon?"

Charles glanced at Ella and nodded with a smile. "Your sister-in-law was feeling a bit tired, so we decided to cancel the rest of the trip. We’ll visit the other places after the baby is born."

Nora blushed slightly and pulled a box from a shopping bag. "Chloe, here’s a gift!"

Chloe was overjoyed, while Charles turned to Ella. "Ella, I heard you moved out of the Davis household and are staying with Chloe. Welcome to the family!"

Ella walked over, her face beaming. "Thank you, Charles. I’ll be counting on you and Sister-in-law to take care of me from now on!"

Nora hesitated for a moment when she saw Ella, a strange glint flickering in her eyes.

She actually knew that Charles had feelings for Ella. She had overheard a conversation between Charles and Chloe once, where Chloe had told Charles to let go of Ella, saying that she was happy now.

But she hadn’t expected that this girl would suddenly appear before her.

"Sister-in-law, hello, I’m Ella. I’m sorry to intrude. I’ll move out as soon as I find a place!" Ella quickly reassured, worried that Nora might misunderstand.

Nora smiled warmly and took Ella’s hand. "No need to worry. Stay as long as you like. You and Chloe are like sisters, and Mom and Dad adore you. Even Grandpa can’t stop singing your praises!"

Ella smiled sheepishly, knowing that Old Mr. Carter’s constant praise was mostly because she had lent him that painting. However, she was genuinely touched by how kind the Carter family had been to her, which is why she had decided to move in with them.

"Exactly, Ella, there’s no need to be so formal. I’ve considered you like a daughter since you were little!" Mrs. Carter said with a warm smile. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Both Mr. Carter and Old Mr. Carter quickly joined in, urging Ella to stay. Ella agreed outwardly, but she had already made up her mind to move out.

She didn’t know much about what kind of woman Nora was, especially since she hadn’t interacted with her much in her previous life. All she remembered was that Nora had married a wealthy young man, but that man was notorious for being unfaithful, and Nora had endured it silently.

No matter what kind of person Nora was, Ella knew she shouldn’t stay here and potentially affect the relationship between Charles and Nora.

The family gathered together for dinner, and Ella was swept up in the warm, harmonious atmosphere, feeling genuinely happy.

After dinner, she and Chloe returned to their room to watch a TV show on the computer, and then Ella made a call to Eric, urging him to find her a new place to live.

"Why the rush? Aren’t you comfortable where you are?" Eric teased with a playful laugh. "Or are you thinking it would be more convenient for our secret meetings if you had your own place, where we could be alone with no restrictions?"

"Eric, what nonsense are you talking about? Charles is back, and I don’t want to be here and interfere with them!" Ella pouted.

"I think Charles has completely moved on from you, or else he wouldn’t have married Nora. Don’t underestimate him; he’s a very responsible man," Eric remarked, surprisingly speaking highly of Charles.

Ella felt a bit frustrated. "So, you don’t want me to move out?"

"I do want us to have more chances to be alone together. For now, we can always go back to our house if we need privacy. But I’m not comfortable with you living alone out there. It worries me," Eric said seriously.

Ella paused, surprised that Eric was concerned about her safety, which was why he wanted her to stay with Chloe.

"You need to understand, whether or not I make our relationship public, anyone investigating us will eventually realize you’re important to me.
