Chapter 37 A Slap from a Mother

The question was very practical, but John's answer didn't make her satisfied

"I will make my mother accept us," John promised and pleaded. "I will never leave you alone, I won't let anyone hurt you. Believe me. Elly, come back and live with me, please? "

John pressed her slender hand to his face, he rubbed and pleaded. A successful man-made this gesture, she didn't know how to refuse. "Hasn't your mother moved in with you? If I go back, it will make her hate me more. "

"Elly ..."

"John, I don't want you to have a problem..." Her words had to stop because of the bright headlights of a car in front of them.

Alex got off, stood in front of her, gave her a few shopping bags, "Your dresses were left on the car. I was planning to bring this to your hotel, but it seems that you don't want to go back yet. Take it and remember to wear it whenever you are going out with me." While saying that, Alex glanced defiantly at John with his smirk.

She frantically glanced at John, realized that his face had turned an unsightly gray. Obviously, there was nothing between her and Alex, but his dangling words were easily misleading. She hurriedly held the bag, politely said. "Thank you. Goodbye Sir."

Alex wanted to screw with him but looking at Elly's reproachful and pitiful face, he temporarily pardoned John today. The sharp eyes of the eagle roamed around Elly, looking directly at her exposed chest, Alex smiled wickedly. "I forgot to say, you are very beautiful today. It proves my aesthetic is not too bad."

Once again glancing at John, Alex left. The arrogant Lamborghini Veneno sped away quickly leaving an awkward atmosphere behind the two.

John's eyes aroused anger and hatred, especially when he saw the bag in her hand, his voice changed. "He bought clothes for you?"

Elly bit her lip, nodded slightly, she softly explained, "John, it's not what you think. He criticized me for wearing too shabby and he didn't want to be ashamed to take me to a social meeting."

"So, he bought many different sets for you at the same time?" John shouted. The jealousy in his chest made him not control his words.

"What do you want? I'm just an employee, he's my boss. He also made it clear these clothes were deducted from the overtime bonus. You don't make any sense when you're angry" Elly was equally angry. His wrong words were like he did not trust in her dignity. Her heartwarming pitying eyes made John startled. He started to fear, maybe she has not yet realized what was on Alex's mind and that he was attracted to her, which was dangerous.

He cannot let the two have many opportunities to interact anymore.

"Elly, I felt insecure, I'm very scared. Other men bought things for his fiancée, making him uneasy. Can you go home with me? "

"John, you knew I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"Only when you are by my side that I can feel comfortable. Elly, I beg you. "

She surrendered with his pleading voice and sincere eyes. She could not refuse cruelly because John was her only relative.

John finally smiled in relief as she agreed, as if keeping Elly by his side would guarantee that she wouldn't leave him. However, the moment they entered the door, disdaining eyes and annoyed voice of his mother woke them up.

"John, why did you bring that shameless woman home?"

"Mom" John glanced at Elly. He was afraid she would leave. He was not happy to look at his mother. "Don't talk like that. She is not an outsider. She is my fiancée. "

John's mother contemptuously looked at her. "I won't accept her as my own! Such a low person like her doesn't deserve to have a place in this family"

Elly was very embarrassed, she lowered her head, she wondered if she would leave. She did not want herself to be the cause of John's argument with his mother.

"It doesn't matter if you accept Elly or not, She's my bride. You have to accept her sooner or later. I'll take her home to live. Do not stay here if she makes you unhappy. "

This was the first time her son dared to speak harshly to her in front of Elly, she felt very sad. Her gaze at Elly filled with hatred. It was the girl who had fascinated her son. She walked quickly in front of Elly and slapped her with all her strength.

"Your trick is so frightening. You seduced John to let him leave me and his family, right? I know a person like you had many sinister intrigues. How hateful! I don't feel this disgraceful to follow my son for years?"

"Mom!" John frantically hugged Elly turned back loudly to his mother. "Did you have to do that? Elly never initiates me anything. If you continued to misunderstand and beat her again, we will go to a place you can't find and it's not a threat! I can do it. "

John's mother was stunned by her son's words. John did not look at her, he just hugged Elly and went to his room. Closing the door, he lifted Elly's face, realized she still hadn't recovered from her shock after being slapped. He asked mildly. "My love, are you hurt?"

The fingerprint markings red appears very clearly in her white and sensitive skin. She shook her head slightly. John was still not assured, so, go to the bathroom to get a cold towel to give her ice for her face.

"Let me do it myself" Elly gets the towel, she urges John. "You should go down and comfort your mother. Next time you shouldn't talk to her like that. She is definitely very sad and heartbroken."

John likes Elly's honesty, she always thinks about others before herself. He snapped her forehead lovingly, "Elly, you are so cute. Why did not my mother saw this side of yours?"

"Because in her eyes, you are the best, no one else will catch her eye." Elly covered her forehead with tears in her eyes while she looked at him.

She laughed at her sorrowful expression. John gave the cold towel to Elly. He Rubbed her head one more time and then he went downstairs to comfort his mother. Elly didn't know what he had said to his mother, but the atmosphere in the house has changed the next morning.

The moment she sat for breakfast, John's mother just looked at her indifferently without sarcasm.

At the end of the meal, she opened her mouth in a stern voice. "I agreed to let you stay in this house, but you need to follow some of my rules."

John continued. "It's nothing, Elly, just a few small regulations on time and house cleaning. I think this will give you and mom more time to get to know each other."

Elly thought John also knew these rules, so she nodded with confidence. John had to go to the hospital urgently for surgery, he was unable to drive her to work. The moment he left home, it was her mother's fight.

She said coldly. "Clean up the table, I want the dishes and chopsticks clean."

Elly slightly frowned her bossy and commanding attitude but she knew that to receive her satisfaction, these things were small ones to compromised. She quickly cleaned the table and washed the dishes, since it was too early so, she wiped the floor and the kitchen counter. However, John's mother was still not satisfied, forcing her to wash all the dry dishes again.

Elly did it again.

John's mother forced her to repeat the dishes for the third time, she was no longer resigned.

"Miss, the bowl was already clean. If we wash more, it will leave a mark with all the texture on the outside."

"You!" She was angry because she did not think Elly would dare to talk back. "Didn't you agreed to follow my rules? John just got out and you already break your promise? "

"You misunderstood me. It's just I was late for work. I promise, after work, I'll wash the dishes and clean the house until you're finally satisfied." After saying that she quickly grabbed her bag and ran to the door. John's mother cursed behind the door.

Although Elly immediately rushed to come to the company, she was still late. As soon as she arrived, she felt an abnormally pressured atmosphere.

Seeing her face, a series of colleagues all bowed to work in frustration, Elly asked curiously. "Did something serious happened to the company?"

No one bothered to answer her.

Elly was confused when she was shunned, she rolled her eyes to asked for help from Adela, the female colleague who is always friendly with her. Adela secretly said quietly. "You don't ask or say anything. Everyone is being punished because of you."

"Because of me?" Elly asked with her eyes widened.

"The Boss looked for you early in the morning, but you haven't arrived yet. I don't know which box of explosives he ate. He scolded the whole room for always covering for you to come so late?"

"If I am late then deduct my salary, why does he take it out on everyone?" Elly shouted angrily, when she saw everyone simultaneously glared up at her, she then stuck out her tongue and pulled her necks. "Sorry, everyone was unfairly treated wrong because of me."

"If you know your mistake, don't be late next time. Due to you today, everyone's work has doubled." Adela patted her shoulder to comfort her, then returned to her desk.

Elly looked at the oppressive heavy air in the room and then she took a deep breath and headed to Alex's room. She did not want her colleagues to be scolded.

Knocking on the door and waiting, she heard the cold voice of Alex said "Come in."

She opened the door, Alex was leaning back in his chair, he crossed his arms arrogantly as he looked at the door, his eyebrows frowned that showed he seems very frustrated. When he noticed that the one who entered was Elly, his brow twisted even tighter.

"Do you still know how to go to work? Have you seen any staff who despise time like you?" Alex hissed.

Elly bowed her head and spoke sincerely. "Sorry Sir, this is my fault. Just deduct my salary the time that I am late. I promise I won't do it again. Hope you give me a chance to correct my mistake."
