"Ethan!" Ellea thought.

I don't know what wind brought Ethan back to contact Samara. Tonight the man who had been her guest two days ago asked to meet her, but because she had an appointment with someone, Ellea could not honor his request.

With a disappointed tone, Ethan had to accept Ellea's decision. But Ethan hoped that next time, he could meet the girl again.

After hanging up the phone, Ethan returned to his work chair. Yes, right now he was still in his office. There was no sense of wanting to go back to his house immediately. Last night he and his wife had another fight over a trivial matter. Until the morning when he was about to leave for the office, he and his wife were still both silent.

Tong!

A message notification came into his cell phone. Ethan opened it immediately, and it was from his wife, Amy.

[I'm going for a walk, please don't come home late at night.]

A message flavored with a picture that Amy was already at the airport, made Ethan even more furious. Under these circumstances, Amy was still thinking about a vacation with her friends and putting aside her duties as a mother. She left her child unattended and left it entirely to the babysitter.

"Amy is really too much. She hasn't had enough vacations. Yesterday she just got back from Paris. Now she's about to leave for Japan again. That's crazy!"

Ethan was really angry. Without thinking, he immediately got up and picked up his briefcase and left his room.

Amy, along with five of her friends, was busy taking pictures at the airport while waiting to check in. At 4:30pm the plane was scheduled to depart.

Amy looked so enthusiastic about today's vacation. It's like she has no burden in leaving her toddler at home with only her nanny.

Amy was always like that. She was more concerned with her desires than taking care of her only child. That's what often made her and her husband fight. Ethan felt that Amy could not be a mother figure for her child.

Amy was still carried away by the atmosphere when she was young. Always having fun as she pleases. Without wanting to realize that now her position is different. She has become a wife as well as a mother. What she thinks is still about pleasure for herself. She always argues if she needs refreshing. Taking care of children always makes her tired and stressed.

With high speed, Ethan immediately drove his car to the airport. Hoping to find Amy there. He intended to bring his wife back home.

As soon as he got out of his car in the parking lot, Ethan immediately ran to catch the time. But unfortunately for him, the plane his wife was on was gone.

"Arrrgghhh! Shit!" he cursed to find that the plane Amy was traveling on was gone.

"Amy! You're too much!"

Ethan was seen venting his anger. His face turned red as he breathed so fast that his chest rose and fell.

With shaky steps, Ethan headed back to the parking lot, getting into his car. He took it immediately to the house. He longed to hug his daughter.

"Ethan wants to meet up," Ellea said as she passed through the door of her house. She had just arrived.

There was a sweet smile on Ellea's face. Somehow she felt happy when an Ethan came back looking for her.

While continuing to walk to her room, Ellea was still smiling. And suddenly she felt hit by a blunt object.

"Adduhhhh! Awwww!" she screeched quite loudly, making Carla who was in her room also come out because she was shocked to hear her granddaughter's scream.

Ellea's foot hit a chair, causing her to bleed a little on the tip of her thumb nail.

"Ouch! My foot!" she exclaimed as she squatted down to blow on her sore foot.

Carla approached her granddaughter, "What's wrong, dear?"

"Tripped, Grandma."

Carla squatted down too, looking at her granddaughter's leg. "Oh my goodness. How come? Did you walk with your eyes closed? How could you hit such a big chair."

"I don't know, Grandma. I just bumped it all of a sudden."

Carla helped her granddaughter up and sat her on the chair. The old woman went to the back to get some medicine from the first aid kit.

"Just thinking about Ethan, my leg got crushed. Ouchhh!" Ellea complained, blowing on her big toe which was getting worse and worse.

Carla came with a bowl of water to clean the wound on her granddaughter's leg.

"You have to go to work tonight. I have to stand for a long time. How about something like this? Next time you walk, use your eyes."

After cleaning the wound, Carla immediately put a bandage on her granddaughter's big toe.

"Hehehe, thank you. I was a bit sleepy earlier. So I'm dazed."

"If you're sleepy, go to bed! You're wandering around. Now it's better to go to your room. Keep sleeping! When it's time to go to work, I'll wake you up!" said Carla.

Ellea nodded. "Ready my dear grandmother, hehehe." She looked at her grandmother and suddenly hugged her tightly. "I love you grandma. I love you very much. Please don't leave me, grandma. No matter what, I want to be with you. There is no one else in this world that I have except my grandmother."

I don't know what wind brought Ellea to say those words to her grandmother. It made her feel both touched and moved.

"Grandma will always be by your side, child. No matter what. I promise I won't leave you."

Ellea tightened her hug even more. To her, her grandmother was everything. She couldn't bear to lose the old woman who had taken care of her since childhood. Ellea finally went to her room to rest.

Ethan had arrived at his house. He went straight to his daughter's room. There he found his son sleeping. There was a nanny who looked after him.
