Henry turned to the other woman who was standing in the room as he clutched Ellie close to his chest. "You have seen it yourself now Aunt Dorota, she is such an elegant lady, with a humble character, and her kind nature is something I will never find again. And you know, she has the strength to match my mother -- she used to be a well-known race car driver you know." The hug around Ellie started to grow uncomfortable as she squirmed a little. She wanted to move away, but knew that would detract from all the work that had been put in upto this moment so she swiveled her head. Like a b.u.t.terfly landing she put her head on his shoulder and looked at Dorota. "I"m so lucky to have you, my love."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Dorota stared in open alarm at their pairing. Neither was sure what she had expected to find, but they would sure that this pure horror was their doing. This kind of steady friendship was probably unheard of hin her own marriage. Ellie, bless her, seemed to be a perfectly fine person who was incredibly deserving of her nephew and was surely rough around the edges. However, she would do well in any social setting to match even the most refined monarch. Her tone was still incredulous, "And you two have been dating and together for a while?"
"Of course, with our high profiles it wasn"t possible for it to be in the open without it affecting us negatively. I"ve known him for ages you know time is irrelevant when you"re in love. I can"t pin the exact date." Ellie said playfully. "But you know he"s always surrounded by beautiful women and men with more ambition than I. I was just so scared to be the woman in the center of all that. I didn"t want to be the sporty wife. I wanted to be his everything you know." Her smile to Dorota looked like it could be nothing more than true humility. "I do wish that you will grow to like me as our happy family continues to grow."
"Your family is going to grow? How convenient. This seems all too good to be true if you ask me." Dorota"s eyes flitted down to the pair of clasp hands in front of Ellie"s stomach. "There was nothing to warn us. You didn"t make an announcement in the country club periodical. No priest from China. There was no grand reception so we could all at least know that you were an item and off the market. I wish you had the decency to at least invite Wallace so he could test the girl before you added her to the family register. He is the head of our clan now that your father is gone. You need to ask him permission before you do such things."
Henry seemed crestfallen but nodded. "Please tell your husband that my intention was not to go against tradition or dishonor him in any way. I just couldn"t bring myself to put her in any more stress for a large society function. You see, Ellie was incredibly ill until recently. If she hadn"t gone to that dark place, I don"t think her beautiful manner would have even been up to the task of marriage in such haste."
