Chapter 518: She Is a Playgirl
Nico smiled. "I will do anything for my baby." The happiness and joy of love can be easily seen on his face.
But Ellie wasn't happy. Instead, she felt a little weird about it.
As she wondered, her cell phone rang. She took a look and answered happily, "Hello, Kayden!"
Nico changed his expression slightly. He stilled smiled, but with caution. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"How did you know that I was in the hospital? ... From the newspaper? That's not true. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me. ... Yes. Thanks to Nico, or I'll be badly hurt. ... Now? He's fine, too. His arm is injured and he is changing dressings now. I'm with him. ... When are you going to come back, Kayden? You didn't tell me when you left."
As the doctor changed dressings, he whispered, "Did it feel good to save a beauty like a hero, Superstar? I'm jealous of you. Your girlfriend is so young and so lively. I want to fall in love too."
Nico smiled but didn't say anything.
"Your girlfriend is a beauty with a pretty face and a good shape. She's also young and has a bright future. Maybe she'll be a superstar. You have to keep an eye on her in case someone else takes her from you. The young men now are shrewd."
...
'Have a try if they dare.' Nico was indifferent about this.
Ellie pouted and said, "It was really close this time. I thought I was going to die."
"You won't die so easily, little girl. A scourge lives long." Kayden chuckled on the other end of the phone.
In the past Ellie would have retorted, but this time she nodded and said, "I think so too. When are you going to come back, Kayden? You promised me a gift."
What? Kayden was stunned but he quickly remembered. Ellie wanted a man. Nico was with her but she was not satisfied.
"Isn't Nico with you? He hasn't been your husband yet and you want another man? You are too playful."
"A lady can never be satisfied with one man. My dream is to be a bride every day and change grooms every night. You know me, Kayden."
Fortunately, the doctors and Nico were not proficient in Chinese, or they would have been shocked. But Vincent understood. She suppressed the inclination to laugh and thought that Ellie was really a playgirl.
"I see. I will when my work is done. I'm busy. Behave yourself and don't get into trouble." Vincent hung up.
"Okay, Kayden." Ellie kissed over the phone and hung up.
"Who was that, baby? You chatted for a long time." Nico had recognized Kayden's voice but pretended not to know.
"It was Kayden, a friend who's good to me," Ellie replied without thinking. The doctor was changing dressings for Nico and Ellie asked, "Does your arm still hurt?"
"Of course not. I'm so happy that you care about me so much. How could it still hurt?"
Ellie trembled. Nico had been aloof and proud before but now he became clingy and disgusting.
It was really disgusting. He lost the charm of being aloof and proud.
Ellie felt tangled. Sure Nico was handsome. She wanted to conquer Nico, who was high-hearted and lofty. But now he was cute and lovely.
"Nico, I'll go back. Take good care of yourself and I'll visit you later."
"No need, baby. You didn't rest well these days. Go back and get your beauty sleep. I'll pick you up tomorrow evening to watch the Water City performance."
"But what about your arm?" Ellie asked.
Nico looked at the chief doctor as if he was saying "Help me!" The doctor coughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't touch the wound and eat randomly."
"Thank you, doctor." Nico smiled. His smile was so charming that everyone was attracted and indulged.
Ellie was indulged in the smile too. 'Nico was really handsome. Men like him are among the top ones. I can forget about his being disgusting. With such a handsome man beside me, I'll look great.'
"Go back and have a good rest, baby! I'll call you later." Nico said gently.
Ellie nodded and left happily.
"Please leave me alone, Vincent. I want to rest now." Nico said.
Vincent nodded, "Take a good rest. I'll inform you if there is work or necessary press conference." After saying that, she went out.
After Ellie and Vincent had left, the chief doctor worked on his game face and asked Nico, "Are you okay? Can you hold on?"
Nico's face was deathly pale. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, but it really hurts."
"Of course it hurts! The wound is so extensive. If I were you, I would have fainted from the pain!"
"I wanted to faint. But Ellie was here. It was embarrassing to faint in front of her."
"Why do you like Ellie? Tell me the truth. I know who you are." The chief doctor snorted.
They had grown up together since childhood and knew each other very well. But Vincent didn't know that they were good friends, because Nico worried that Vincent would interfere in his friend-making. So it was better not to say.
Nico sighed and said calmly, "Reece, I've lost this time."
"What's going on?" Reece, the chief doctor, asked in surprise.
Nico told him the story that Kayden had threatened him in brief.
Hearing this, Reece became serious. "You provoke the ZH Clan. It's big."
"I know. His request is very easy, but I'm afraid that he is using me and won't give me the photos." Nico voiced his concern.
"You don't need to worry about that. Although ZH Clan is a gang, it is said to keep promises. This is one of the reasons why they become powerful. "Another reason was that the leader of ZH Clan was ruthless."
"Kayden asked me to pursue Ellie, but the purpose was to make her hate me. Now I force myself to talk to her in a disgusting voice every day." Nico was indifferent and dismissive.
"I find Kayden very smart. It surprised me that a gangster could come up with such a perfect idea." Reece was a little interested in Kayden.
"I can only take one step at a time now."
"What if I can help you pursue Ellie, Nico?" Reece suddenly suggested.
"You?" Nico was shocked, "Aren't you going to marry your Brazilian girlfriend?"
"We broke up. She has another lover." Reece shrugged, not caring much.
"All right. But you can't ruin my plan. They still have my photos." Nico didn't want to see Ellie every day, so it would be a great relief for him if Reece could help.
Reece looked at Nico and smiled brightly. "Don't worry. I'm just curious, so I want to get involved. I won't disturb your sweet love."
Nico rolled his eyes at him, completely unaware of himself as a superstar. "Don't joke with me. I can't wait to break up with Ellie so that I can come after the guitarist and ask him when he took the photos. He brought so much trouble to me."
Reece shrugged his shoulders and reminded him, "Superstar, pay attention. There is a lot of paparazzi here. You don't want to make the headlines again, do you?"
"Who cares? The photos of Rick and me have been widely spread online. Nothing can be worse." Nico rubbed his hair irritably. It was hard to believe that his pleasure-seeking past would be a stumbling block to his current career.
Reece wasn't so worried. "The young people now are diverse. Maybe they can accept your past and find it a new trend. It isn't as bad as you think."
...
Nico wasn't that optimistic, but he felt better after hearing these words.
"You can sleep for a while. You still have to date with Ellie tomorrow evening." Reece packed up, checked the equipment, and left.
Nico was depressed. He wanted to sleep, but he was still thinking of the call Kayden made. Although Kayden called Ellie, he felt stressed, as if the call was to remind him to speed up to complete the plan.
Nico thought for a while, took out the phone, and called Ellie. After saying a few sweet words, he appointed the meeting time and place for tomorrow evening. Then he felt relieved, yawned, and slowly fell asleep.
...
It was the next day.
"Where are we going next, baby?" Nico was out of breath, with many bags in his hands.
"I don't know. I am tired and I don't want to walk anymore" Ellie said. She was exhausted after shopping for a whole day. She just wanted to find a place to rub her numb feet.
At first, she didn't want to go shopping. But she had seldom been abroad and now she was in Italy, a shopping paradise, where there were a lot of luxury brands. If she didn't buy anything, she would regret it.
When traveling abroad, one needed to go sightseeing and shopping as much as possible. Then it would be worth the trip. Of course, a gentleman was also needed to take the bags and pay. Although Ellie could afford these too, she took it for granted that there was no reason for a lady to pay if she came out with a gentleman.
"Nico, you are more familiar with this place than me. Is there a place where we don't need to walk and the scenery is beautiful?"
Even though Nico was exhausted, he said gently. "What about going to Water City by boat, baby? We can enjoy the architectural scenery on the boat since we are going to watch the show there tonight."
Hearing that there was no need to walk, Ellie agreed immediately. They got on a boat, placed everything on the bow, sat on the small chairs, and drifted slowly on the river.
The boat floated very slowly, so Ellie could enjoy the buildings and scenery on both river banks carefully.
‘This place seems familiar? Have I ever been here?’
