Perfect Stranger

Chapter 270 Leave Without Saying Goodbye

Not knowing why, Louisa felt something convincing when she looked at Bruce's eyes.

A few days passed. During this time, Ella didn't call Louisa again, which made her not only confused, but also worried.

Now that Ella was in such a situation, Ella must often call her to tell Louisa about her sadness. But Louisa hadn't received any call from Ella for so many days. Louisa was worried about if something was wrong with Ella.

Louisa took out her phone and dialed Ella's number, but a female voice reached her ear. The number he dialed was power off, please redial later.

The more Louisa thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn't focus on her work any more. She quickly straightened her desk and took a taxi to the home of Ella without asking for leave.

But when Louisa arrived at Ella's home, the door was closed. It seemed that no one was at home. Louisa rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered. She slapped the door, but there was still no sound.

Meanwhile, Louisa thought of Frank in her panic. She doubted if Ella was with Frank. After all, Ella was trying to restore their relationship.

Louisa dialed Frank's number and heard his deep voice. She could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Frank, is Ella with you now?" Louisa pounded on the door again and then she asked anxiously.

Listening to the anxious voice of Louisa, Frank frowned in confusion, wondering what made her so anxious.

"No, she's not here. We haven't contacted each other for several days." Hearing the name of Ella, a trace of sadness flashed through Frank's heart. He sorted out his emotions and said coldly at the other end of the phone.

Some time ago, Ella had called him and asked him to reconcile with her, but recently, she didn't call him again. He thought she had given up, because of that he was still sad.

After hearing Frank's negative answer, Louisa's heart sank. Louisa had a bad feeling, and she doubted that there was something wrong with Ella.

"Frank, I called Ella and found that she was missing. Her door was closed when I came to her house. I thought she was with you, but now it seems that she is missing." After figuring out what was going on, Louisa asked anxiously to Frank on the other end of the line.

Originally, she thought that Frank would be very worried about Ella after hearing her words, but his reaction was unexpectedly. The other end of the phone fell into silence.

Thinking that there might be something wrong with the call, Louisa anxiously asked again, "Frank, can you hear me?"

Hearing that, Frank frowned somewhat angrily. He said coldly.

"Do you think I will believe in the same trick again? No matter what Ella does this time, I won't forgive her!" He said coldly and hung up the phone before Louisa got a chance to explain.

Last time, Ella lied to him by leaving, and this time he wouldn't believe her any more. He had been a little softened by Ella's entanglement, but his heart had become firm again because of the call from Louisa.

Looking at the phone that was hung up irritably, Louisa was very anxious. This time, it seemed that Ella really left.

In the bar, Bruce found Frank who was drinking alone. Bruce shook his head helplessly and walked up to Frank to sit down.

"Drinking lonely?" Bruce said lightly. He snapped his fingers, and the bartender handed him a glass of cocktail.

With a quick glance, Frank saw Bruce. There was a flash of surprise in Frank's eyes, but he quickly lowered his head again and drank.

"Why are you here?" Said Frank in a cold tone, looking into the distance.

Frank heard that Bruce and Louisa who didn't get along well with each other recently. He knew that Bruce was supposed to be busy dealing with his relationship with Louisa at this time. So Frank was surprised.

After gulping down the cocktail in his glass, Bruce looked at Frank and said calmly, "I'm here for you. How's everything going? Is you lonely in your heart after Ella left?"

Bruce's tone of speaking was still calm and he talked about Ella, but it aroused Frank's interest.

Frank frowned and looked at Bruce with some doubts. Then Frank said with uncertainty.

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that Ella has really left? How did you know that?" Bruce sounded perfectly convinced.

Although Frank didn't have a very close relationship with Bruce, Bruce would never lie to him. Now that Bruce said that Ella had left, it was highly likely that Ella had really left. At this moment, Frank was a little flustered.

Frank's expression was clearly shown in Bruce's eyes. With a flash of chuckle in Bruce's eyes, he then continued to speak.

"I know why you wanted to break up with Ella, it was just because she cheated you. Now I ask her to really fulfill her promise and leave. I did you a big favor this time." Bruce said that calmly and snapped his fingers again and the waiter immediately handed him another glass of wine.

His words irritated Frank. Frank glared at him furiously.

Frank thought that it was Ella who lied to him again, but he didn't expect that he had misunderstood her, which made him feel a little relieved, but at the same time, a little guilty.

"This is my own business. I'll take care of it. Why do you have to intervene?" Frank asked coldly, with flames of fury in his eyes.

"Why are you so angry? Don't you want to see Ella now? I'm doing this for your own good." Bruce was satisfied with Frank's response. Bruce's eyes flashed a successful smile.

From Frank's reaction, Bruce could tell that Frank was still thinking about Ella.

Bruce seemed to take it for granted, but his words further angered Frank. At the moment, the anger in Frank's eyes seemed to spurt out.

"Where is Ella?" Frank said while gritting his teeth. He looked at Bruce coldly, as if he wanted to beat Bruce up the next moment.

Frank grabbed Bruce's collar and looked at him with threatening eyes. He couldn't control his emotions anymore. Bruce had a thoughtful mind ever since he was a child. Frank didn't understand Bruce at all. This time, Bruce suddenly got involved in this matter. Frank really didn't know what Bruce wanted to do.

Frank had assumed that Ella was missing with him on purpose. Although he had been upset, he hadn't been anxious for her disappearance. But when he heard from Bruce that Ella's disappearance was related to Bruce, Frank couldn't help but feel anxious.

Bruce pushed away Frank's hand, slowly straightened his wrinkled collar and said, "no matter where she goes, as long as you want, I'll never let her show up in front of you. What's wrong with you? As a brother, I think I'm really a good brother." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Pretending not to understand what Frank meant, Bruce spoke again. However, Bruce was more and more satisfied with Frank's reaction.

After saying that, Bruce left directly with a smile. He knew that Frank must be anxious to know the whereabouts of Ella, but it was not the time to tell Frank now. Bruce wanted him to see his heart clearly, and let him know how important Ella was in his heart.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Bruce, Frank had an impulse to rush out of the room. He was eager to know where Ella was now, and he was worried that she would never come back.

The next day, as usual, Bruce went to work in the company. The moment he sat down in his office, the door was opened, and in came Frank. Bruce had expected his coming, because last night, he saw that Frank was nervous about Ella.

"Bruce, tell me, where on earth has Ella been?" Without saying anything, Frank directly walked up to Bruce and asked anxiously.

Frank stayed up all night last night and was worried about Ella, so he came to the company early this morning in the hope of getting her whereabouts, because she suddenly disappeared from his world and he was really not used to it. Frank began to miss those days when he with her.

Bruce raised his head and looked at Frank with sort of smile flashing in his eyes. Then Bruce said, "in fact, I don't know where Ella is going, but she must have gone to America. If you don't trust her, you can go to find her."

After saying this calmly, Bruce once again lowered his head and began to work. Frank also turned around and rushed out quickly. It could be seen from Frank's fast speed that how worried he was.

Just after the door was closed, Louisa came in. She had heard all the conversation between the two brothers just now. She was very confused that Bruce would know where Ella was.

"Did Ella really go to America? How did you know that? " Seeing that Bruce didn't even raise his head, Louisa looked at him hesitantly and asked lightly. Her eyes were full of doubts.

Hearing that, Bruce just looked up at her and gave her a faint smile. He didn't answer her question. There were many things he didn't need to explain, because she would soon know.

"Didn't you always want to help them get back together? I believe the day will come soon." His eyes were full of gentleness when Bruce looked at Louisa.

The reason why Bruce would get involved in this matter was that Louisa. Now that Louisa had been focusing all her attention on Ella and Frank, she hadn't thought of the emotional problems between her and Bruce. Bruce wanted Louisa to calm down and consider the relationship between the two of them.

In the face of Bruce's words, Louisa was more confused. She did not understand why he said that all of a sudden, but she trusted his words somehow.

Knowing that Bruce wouldn't say much, Louisa didn't plan to ask and walked out of the office directly. He didn't raise his head until the door was closed with a faint smile in his eyes. He could clearly feel that Louisa no longer deliberately distanced him. After this matter, he must try to win her heart back.
