Chapter 493 - You Are So Cute
Dive into Chapter 493 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother": The waiter saw this and immediately pursed his lips tightly, saying no more.At this moment,... Find out more!
The waiter saw this and immediately pursed his lips tightly, saying no more.At this moment, Ella Turner carefully stood up and gently said, "Iāll do it myself, thank you."
Then, she placed the packed food aside and gently set her dinner on the table, afraid of disturbing Elijah Reedās sleep.
After putting the food down, she leaned closer to the waiter and whispered, "Could you get me a lid to cover it?"
She was worried the food would get cold by the time Elijah woke up.
The waiter looked at Ellaās sneaky manner and made an OK gesture to her, then went to get a lid.
Once everything was ready, Ella continued to prop her right hand on the table, resting her chin, watching Elijah.
Elijah slept for 40 minutes, only waking up at half-past eight because his leg was numb; otherwise, he mightāve slept until morning.
He opened his eyes, looking at the covered plate and Ella grinning foolishly at him, and was startled, quickly frowning and asked, "Why didnāt you wake me?"
"You looked so tired, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer," Ella grinned and said.
"What time is it? Letās go back to the hospital!" Elijah rubbed his eyes, thinking heād slept too long.
However, despite saying they should return to the hospital, he didnāt move a bit because his leg was too numb and uncomfortable.
Seeing Elijah anxious to return to the hospital, Ella immediately said, "Itās only half-past eight, no rush, no rush. You havenāt eaten all day, quickly, have some food."
As Ella spoke, she uncovered the lid on the plate, pushed the plate into the center of the table, and handed Elijah a bowl.
She then picked a piece of rib and chewed it, finding it still warm, so she quickly placed it into Elijahās bowl, saying, "The waiter said the lid keeps things warm, I didnāt believe it! Turns out it really does, itās not cold at all, hurry up and eat."
Elijah watched Ellaās enthusiasm and was amused yet touched, grabbing his chopsticks, intending to finish quickly and return to the hospital.
Yet, his hand suddenly went numb too, and the food he picked up slipped back into the bowl with a "whoosh."
He tried several more times and still failed.
Ella sat beside, frowning, and asked, "Elijah, whatās wrong?"
"My handās numb, my legās a bit numb too," Elijah was quite helpless.
Seeing this, Ella quickly put down her chopsticks, moved her chair closer to Elijah, and unceremoniously grabbed his big hand, helping him to rub and massage it with her small hand.
Instantly, Elijah felt awkward, hastily pulled back his hand, laughing and said, "Itāll be fine in a moment."
Seeing Elijah being polite, Ellaās face immediately fell, unhappily asking, "Do you really dislike me, hate me?"
"I donāt," Elijah denied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ella immediately grabbed his hand again, massaging it for him.
Elijah was afraid of rejecting Ella further and making her overthink, so he didnāt refuse this time and let her help him.
As the girlās gentle hand kneaded his skin, Elijahās heart started beating faster inexplicably, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
In his life, Elijah had never dated a girl; he was always the top student during his studies, even in university, he buried his head in books, later working with Liam Spencer, throwing himself wholly into work without thinking of dating.
He preferred work over romance.
But Ella was an exception, in his off-duty time, she was the first person he cared about.
Perhaps because he felt guilty for biting her face once, or perhaps he sympathized with her sudden loss of a brother, in any case, he really cared for her.
Nowadays, even during work, he would inexplicably think of her.
At this moment, watching her sweetly massage him, Elijah felt shy, afraid to look her in the eye.
A moment later, Ella patted his arm joyfully and asked, "Feeling better now?"
"Yes, all good," Elijah withdrew his hand, quickly grabbed his chopsticks to hide his embarrassment.
Just as he was about to eat, Ella suddenly crouched down from her chair, patting his left leg, and asked, "Is this leg?"
Instantly, Elijah panicked and hurriedly grabbed Ellaās arm, lifting her from the ground, saying somewhat nervously, "Itās fine, letās eat."
Ella watched the manās flustered manner, her lips secretly curled into a smile, raising her knee of the right leg, she suddenly nudged his lower left leg, Elijah reflexively dodged due to the numbness in his foot, and the movement was quite large.
"Haha..." Ella laughed, then crouched down again to help him rub his leg.
Elijah felt embarrassed, while pulling her up, he explained, "Ella, donāt do this, itās not good if someone sees."
In public, Elijah still cared about his image, afraid of people pointing fingers, saying he was bullying a girl.
Ella however, nonchalantly said, "Youāve taken care of me a lot, I never got the chance to repay you, today letās call it even."
"Itās not necessary," Elijah continued pulling her, but Ella was steadfastly staying down, not getting up, sometimes kneading his leg, sometimes pounding it, not at all thinking he was bullying her.
Finally, after a whole minute, Elijah helplessly pulled her up and said, "Itās really fine now, not numb anymore."
Ella kicked him again, then seeing no reaction, she was willing to believe him and sat back down.
At the dining table, she kept turning her head, watching Elijah, with a sweet smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
Tonight, her gaze never left Elijah, she felt the more she looked at him, the more handsome he appeared, especially in his bashfulness, it made her unable to look away, thinking he was cute.
Elijah saw Ella staring intently at him and felt embarrassed, his large hand rubbing his handsome face, he asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Ella heard Elijahās question, giggled, raised her right hand, and touched his forehead and left side of his face, saying, "Thereās nothing dirty, just some sleep marks, let me smooth them out for you."
Suddenly, Elijahās face turned red, he momentarily forgot to breathe, his eyes widened, staring at Ella, he was shocked by the girlās boldness.
When he snapped back to reality, he immediately grabbed Ellaās wrist, removing her hand from his face, sternly reprimanding, "Ella, be mindful of appearances."
"Haha..." Ella watched the manās embarrassed red face, couldnāt help but laugh again.
She said, "You bit my face once in front of everyone, why werenāt you mindful then?"
After Ella spoke, she placed her hand back on his face, continuing to tease him.
Elijah was thoroughly collapsing now, his face was entirely flushed, even his ears were red, still, he felt the girlās touch on his face very comfortable, gentle, and warm.
"Elijah, you are really cute, even more of a blusher than my brother," Ella saw Elijahās red-faced appearance and felt warmed by it.
