"You know there is a stone arch at the end where the vines grow so it creates a little alcove . It"s one of my favorite places to go because there is a little table my mother put there . It"s a great spot to go have breakfast or have a book to read on a lazy day . " Henry deftly handed her a warm cookie which she looked surprised that he had brought . "I know you don"t change your mind when you"ve set on something . I also doubt you"re going to sit down anywhere in this lovely garden soon, so munch on one of these to conserve your strength while you prove yourself . "

Ellie bit into the cookie and her eyes rolled back into her head as she made a pleasurable sound . "Wow . This is amazing . I can"t believe this isn"t store bought . I know the food here was good, but this is really nice . You"re very lucky to have whoever is on your staff making these . "
"I"m very lucky in the staff I have, you"re right . " Henry nodded while taking a crisp bite of his own cookie . Ellie realized that he had only shared one with her and that he had kept most of it to himself . He continued, ignoring her perusal . "You know since my uncle did keep our family"s charitable foundation and subsidiaries, I have tried to make the most of what I have . This house for now will remain mine and my family"s instead of someone else"s . "
Ellie felt a bit chilled by his dark tone as she peered up at his profile . "Seeing the way that Chou was talking, I guess I will be enjoying these cookies for a while longer . I"m glad that I got to enjoy the Wong family kitchen while I could . I was thinking about moving in with Nolan soon, but seeing the will is airtight about living arrangements I guess I can"t extricate myself from you for the time being . I hope this won"t be a problem for you . I am as trapped in this situation as you are, but I hope the progress we are making is satisfactory .

"Satisfactory? Where did you pick up such formal speech? Have you been listening to Michael? I know he"s stiff and British . I don"t need that from you . Don"t ever say sorry for anything . You are a guest . " He quickly ate a cookie so fast that he coughed on it . "You have done more for me than any of my close friends . You are special and will always with your family have a place here at Wong manor . We have too many floors that have no use . I"m tired of spending time staring at empty s.p.a.ce . You are actually believe it or not company that I quite enjoy keeping around . Ellie Chen is a welcome addition to any of my days . "
In truth, Ellie was someone who he found more companionable than his closest friends . He looked at the arch of her neck and graceful small features . She was lovely to watch like a swan on a sparkling lake . She was much better than a pretty younger sister who would have been a pain to deal with, if his parents had bothered to have more than one child .
