Rebirth 1973 - Chapter 56 Ella

Henry finds it amusing when he saw the look of horror painted on Ella’s face. He slowly approached her which make her stepping backward too. After some point, Ella can’t go backward anymore as the wall blocking her way.

Henry grinning when he saw that as he feels like a tiger watched over his prey trapped. But he still put his guard as he doesn’t know yet who she is. Sure enough, when he just over 1 m from Ella, he attacked by her hand.

Her attack is not weak, but it’s not a match for him. So he quickly grabs her hand and fixing it into the wall.

Ella groaning in pain and inadvertently say, “Ahhhhh, het doet pijn.”

Even though she said it in a low voice, Henry clearly hears her speaking another language as he is very close to her right now. It was a language that familiar to him even though he rarely uses it, the Dutch language.

Henry quickly thinks an idea, so he says, “doet het pijn ? (Does it hurt ?)”

Ella answered subconsciously, “Natuurlijk doet het pijn, denk je dat het dat niet is ? (Of course it hurt, do you think it’s not ?)”

But quickly she feels something is wrong. So she looking at Henry who is smiling right now and realize she has been tricked.

“Ik had niet verwacht dat je een Nederlander bent, mevrouw Ella. Ik vraag me af wat een Nederlander hier doet door zich voor te doen als een eenvoudige ober, vooral omdat je een nobel bent.

(I didn’t expect you are a Dutch people, Ms. Ella. I wonder what a Dutch people doing here by posing as a humble waiter, especially since you are noble.)” Henry grin more widely as he saw Ella face right now.

Ella is shocked to the core right now as her biggest secret just inadvertently revealed by herself. She didn’t expect Henry would know the Dutch language and even can infer her true status just based on their short chat.

She is shaking intensely as she remembers what happened to her father 10 years ago because of his status as a Dutch Noble is known by people. She has been hiding her identity since that incident by posing as an orphan child between an American soldier and an indigenous woman.

Luckily she is adopted by an old man which protecting her from many people inquiries. She only stays with that old man for 1 year before she was sent to a mixed school by him. She never knows that old man name as he never told her.

As she remembering all of that sad moment, her tears just dropping like a waterfall. She cries loudly when she remembers her father face when he left her in the old man house. That was the last moment she met with her father, she doesn’t know if her father still lives or not since then.

Henry confused why would Ella cries loudly. He just grabs her hand with only little strength, why would she cry so loud? Nevertheless, he quickly releases her hand and brought her into his hug.

“Hey, don’t cry. I’m sorry alright, does it really hurt that much ?” Henry lift up her hand and gently stroke it.

Instead of calming her as he expected, she crying more loudly than before. Henry did not know what to do anymore as his experience with woman emotion is very lacking. As he sees her crying not gonna subsided anytime soon, he quickly thinks an idea.

He lifts her chin up and kisses her gently. He already practiced kissing with Susan for over 5 months, so you can say he is an experienced driver. It seems Ella not yet realize what happened as Henry enter his tongue inside her mouth.

But Ella quickly realizes what happened, so she pushes Henry and slapped him hard. She already stopped crying the moment Henry kisses her and now she is blushing as she still can feel his tongue in her mouth and his manly scent from his sweat all over her.

“Ouch, that quite hard slap.” Henry rubs his cheek. If he looks into a mirror right now, he can see a red palm print on his face.

“Hehehe, look at you right now. It’s a pity if a girl as beautiful as you ruined her face by crying.” Even though his face is still a little stinging, Henry stepped forward and caressed Ella face who is very red right now.

“You bastard, that was my first kiss.” Ella brushes aside Henry hand who caressed her face. Actually. she is feeling very shy right now as that was indeed her first kiss. So she quickly breaks out from Henry and tries to run.

Henry quickly catch her wrist again and say, “Where do you think you are going, Ms. Ella? I have so many things to discuss with you, so you can’t go now.”

“Let go of me!” Ella then pulling Henry’s hand and tries to bite it.

Henry reacts quicky by pulling her back with his strength.

“I said you can’t go now, you can go after we finish our talk.” Then Henry pulling her into a chair and let her sit on it.

“Don’t go anywhere or I promise you don’t want to know the consequence.” Henry warns her as he quickly takes his pant and wears it.

Ella just obediently sits there as she knows she can’t escape if Henry doesn’t’ allow it. After just 1 minute, Henry already wears his pant and shirt and sit the opposite of Ella.

The room immediately silent as none of the two starts talking. Ella stares at Henry angrily while Henry just smiling while looking back at her.

After 2 minutes of staring, Ella take a deep breath and exhale it and say, “What do you want from me, Mr. Henry? Now you already know my identity, could you please don’t tell anyone about this ?”

“Well, it depends on you, Ms. Ella. I don’t think Ella is your real name either, tell me your real name first. I promise I will not tell about it to anyone as it didn’t benefit me either.” Henry said while rubbing his cheek who still a little bit stinging.

“Are you sure ?” Ella didn’t trust the man who just takes her first kiss earlier just like that. What if he reveals her identity to the hotel management?

“That depends on you, Ms. Ella. And please don’t tell me a lie again, I will know it if you lie.” Henry says.
