Marriage contract: Fake love

Chapter 18: Returning

Both Hades and Ellie were smiling broadly, they basked in the warm rays of the sun as they relaxed in the outdoor space of the expansive garden.

Under the shadow of the old tree, on the green grass full of freshness, Ellie lay with her head on Hades' feet. The grass was lush and verdant. Ellie's dress is a pastel pink with thousands of tiny lily-of-the-valley flowers embroidered on it. The overall sweetness is just right, giving Ellie a cuteness that sets her apart. She blinked her stunning eyes as she stared directly up at the tree that was above her, transfixed on the minuscule rays of sunlight that were falling on her fair skin from the areas of the foliage that were stripped bare.

The light enhances the already stunning beauty of Ellie's bright and crystal-clear eyes, making them look even more stunning than the surface of the spring lake. Her smile was so endearing, that it made her lips curl up. Her hair was flowing freely in the grass, and it was falling over Hades' thighs as well. Her hair was soft and shiny.

This breathtaking scene is very reminiscent of a heartwarming love story. A calm environment for the male and female protagonists. They were side by side, appreciating the tranquility that had been created by the absence of the other characters in the scene.

Hades maintained his silence while reading a book with his head bowed. His hand was resting on Ellie's head as he slowly ran his fingers through her hair.

Ellie lifted her shoulders slightly, turned around, and hugged Hades. Her sparkling eyes darted across the page of the book that Hades was reading as his chin gently rested on Hades' shoulder. She appears to be smiling.

"Hades, you are stunning to look at while you are reading a book. Seeing you in such a state makes me want to give your lips a few more kisses than I already have, and I can't help it."

When Hades finished reading, he set the book down on the grass, turned around, grabbed Ellie by the chin, and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Ellie felt a tugging sensation on her tongue as the rough tongue of Hades became entangled with her own. Two tongues became entwined, forming a romantic dance with sweetness overflowing in a state of contentment that is hard to describe using words alone.

When falling into Scarlet's eyes, however, this once tender scene turned into an uninteresting sight to behold. Halfway through the mansion, Scarlet finally decided to return. Originally, she was going to find Hades to discuss a few things related to the AKSSE project, but before she could discuss anything, she had to witness an intimate scene between the two of them.

She gave a slight hack that served as an introduction to her presence.

Hades let go of Ellie and turned around to look in the direction of their escape.

Hades stood up very calmly and pulled Ellie up to her feet as Scarlet's appearance did not appear to surprise him in the least.

Because Hades was the one who wanted Scarlet to return home so that she could assist him in getting the AKSSE project, he was not surprised by this development at all.

Ellie clung to Hades' hand and kept her gaze fixed on Scarlet's face. When she saw Scarlet there, it made her so angry that she bit her lip. She also imagined that she would have more joyful experiences with Hades, but it appears that her perceptions are merely the product of her imagination.

Hades: “Ellie, go back to your room. Scarlet and I have something to discuss."

Ellie refused to go, shaking her head and saying to Hades, "I don't want to leave... I long to be in your company."

"No, what Scarlet and I need to talk about is very important," Hades said. "Since this is a problem with the work that the company does, there is no need for you to be concerned."

Ellie: "No, I will remain faithfully by your side in obedience. It is imperative that you do not mess up and that you do not make yourself uncomfortable. I'd rather not go at this time."

Hades gave a self-conscious glance to Ellie before turning his attention back to Scarlet and asking, "Scarlet, can Ellie come with us? I don't think she'll go out of her way to make things difficult for you."

Scarlet gave a resolute jerk of her head in refusal and said: "It is impossible, and the sight of her has made me feel both angry and disgusted. It would be best if your mistress did not become aware of such significant matters."

Ellie clenched her teeth and pleaded feebly: "I promise that I won't overextend myself in any way. I'd give anything to be with Hades right now."

She pleaded humbly to Scarlet as she turned her large eyes toward her and said, "I beg you... please accept this request of mine."

Hades became more sympathetic, and he looked first at Ellie, then at Scarlet again. He simply desired to take Ellie along with him, but he dared not provoke Scarlet in any way. It was because he took the initiative to invite her; however, if it were to anger Scarlet or cause her to feel uncomfortable, the two of them would not be able to work together at all.

He took Ellie's hand and gave it a quick peck before continuing: "Be nice, Ellie. Please return to your room so that Scarlet and I can have a conversation. Don't be concerned; I'll be going back inside very soon and will find you there as soon as I can."

Ellie turned her gaze to Scarlet while holding back tears.

Scarlet motioned with her hand before abruptly turning and walking inside. The mere sight of Ellie's frailty was enough to convince Hades to relent, but in Scarlet's eyes, the paste was nothing more than a waste of time.

Reading room.

Scarlet showed initiative by being the first person to enter this room. She made her way around the room while keeping a close eye on everything that was going on there. The architecture of this room, which was built in the European style of the 16th century and gives off an air that is very noble and royal, is her favorite room in the villa. In addition, the books that can be found in this location have been handed down through many generations of the Hades family. More than enough evidence to conclude that this is a family that places a high value on education and intellectual pursuits.

She carefully handled some old books before picking up one of them to read.

Because of the enormous windows, sunlight was able to enter the room. The sunlight reflected off of the white dress that Scarlet was wearing, which resulted in the dress appearing to be surrounded by a layer of magical light. Her bright red hair was tied up in a simple bun, a few soft curls falling across her face.

Scarlet had her back against the wall while she was flipping through the pages of the book with her slender fingers. Her expression revealed an unusual sense of contentment.

Hades stepped inside, and for a brief moment, he was stunned by Scarlet's intellectual image. The gentle and gentle beauty that naturally appeared on someone who was always cold like Scarlet was special.

Scarlet raised her head, and both of them looked at each other before continuing. As Hades attempted to make sense of the situation, he averted his gaze and pretended to speak about something else.

“Makes you wait a long time. Ellie wanted me to take her back to her room so I just had to let you wait a bit.”

Scarlet folded the book neatly before placing it on the bookshelf in a deliberate and measured manner. She joked.

“Of course, I understand Ellie is the golden girl in your heart. But you should remember that being too lenient will make her forget who she is and start doing crazy things that are hard to say."
