Ellie looked at Henry"s sheepish grin as she rolled her eyes -- of course, the Wong family dog had a royal pedigree. Surprises were as always with Henry like catch a calm breeze on an island unexpected. They were peaceful and nice, even though unexpected. In truth, this whole experience had been as if she had been stranded on paradise with a beautiful man through some strange game show luck. Hardly anyone visited them as many of the city"s elites had gone to warmer waters as the cold winter would soon be upon them. Nadius was cozied up in Jersey so other than Nolan and a couple of Ellie"s friends, no one really came to the Wong home. Henry had explained that many of his relatives had opted to spend Christmas in China. Ellie didn"t know them so she couldn"t know if the flippancy in which he said this was from genuine closeness with the people he called his relatives. Henry just by himself was more than enough for Ellie, forget about the strange family. She had a soft spot for the days when he would come home from work and help her with physical therapy sessions, practice driving in the simulator he had set up for her in the gym, or simply come into her bedroom and just talk about whatever work related issue was on his mind. His thoughts were always interesting to Ellie so their discussions were always heated and moving.Henry watched Ellie play with Madeline in her lap with a serene look and he wondered if domesticity was really suited to her. Ellie was not really the type of woman would would be satisfied as a housewife. She could easily be drowning in boredom and he would have never known. She was familiar with the city he knew, but for the most part she had spend the last couple months cooped up in his house. He doubted she had even some idea of what the floors below contained. Henry looked at her with a strained expression, "Do you want to go out today? I know that you haven"t been out in a while. I am not sure if you"re in too much pain to move around, but would you like to have some change in routine?"
"That sounds really nice, I think that I would really like that."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Seeing her light up, Henry felt himself puff up as he decided he would have some fun with her tonight. He looked at her with a mock serious expression as he tried to stop himself from laughing. "I actually wanted to take a drive tonight out of the city."
Ellie"s face fell. "It"s going to be a Rolls Royce Ghost. Business people always have the worst taste in cars. It"s going to be a boring Mercedes or the Lexus convertible that caps at ninety miles an hour. I don"t want to go. I have the simulator, I can pretend to have a nice fast car."
Henry licked his lips as he felt the challenge between them begin to rise. He raised an eyebrow. "I have a couple cars might dear and tonight just for you, I"m going to drive my Pagani Huayra. Then when we hit the private track and we go for a little test run, you better hope that belt is on tight when I hit 230. I"m going to have a nice talk to you about how a stock car driver told me I look like I drive a Rolls Royce like my grandfather."
