Concealed Love

Chapter- 57 " Your ancestor "

Next day early morning, Ella woke up early and joined the morning breakfast with everyone, Iri asked her, " Why ate you up so early? Do you have somewhere to go? "

" No, I just thought it'll be good to wake up and join you guys once in a while. "Anyway, where are you guys going for today? "

Iri kept her eyes on the food and said, " I don't have any plans, I'll stay home. I took the day off. "

Jace steal a glance at Iri than quickly look back again, " I don't have a plan either. "

Al smiled and said, " I might go in for work. But if my lady doesn't want me to I can stay. "

Ella glared at him hopelessly then back to the two, whatever they had promised yesterday that they wouldn't fight anymore and get together to talk it out, now it didn't seem like it'll be happening anytime soon.

Ella sighed and said, " Shall we go out? I heard there's a good flower park in the city, we should all go and hang out for once. "

Al and Iri look at Ella in surprise, ' Did she just suggested that we should go out? Ella? That Ella?'

Al grinned, " Sure, I would love to go, let's all go together, Jace you should also take a break for today and accompany us. "

Jace said, " Okay, I can go. " And Iri also agreed, " Ummn, I'll go too. "

Ella smiled, " Okay than let's go get ready after this, I'll tell Sira to prepare us some lunch. "

The two awkward people went up after dinner and Al asked Ella, " By the way who told you about the place? You talk to someone other than me? "

Ella glared at him, " What do you mean by that, of course I talk to others,... But I found out about the place through, goodle map, I knew that something like this would happen so I searched for a place where they can hang out together. "

Al chuckles, " Oh, my Ella is so kind, I am so lucky. Even though I feel bad for them I am glad I can spend time with you. "

Ella sighed, " Go her ready and help Sira take out what we need for later today the car, I'll help make it and get ready soon, we don't wanna make them wait for us. "

Al gladly agreed and went away, Ella went to help Sira pack some bagels, fruits and other dishes.

Sira smiled and seeing Ella excitedly she asked, " Are you guys going out miss? "

"Yes we decided to go out once in a while, they always work so they don't get to have a break on the same day often and since today is a break for all of them I decided to take them all out on a healthy walk. " Ella proudly said.

Sira laughed and said, " My lady is the best, it's great that young master found someone to obey, he never go out for fun if he's not visiting someone haa, I was worried but now I guess I can stop worrying. "

Ella also laughed, " Of course, I'll make sure to train him all over again so he would stop stressing you out. "

The two laughed and Ella asked, " Sira if you don't have work, shall we all go? It'll be fun. "

Sira politely refused saying, " Next time, I don't wanna bother young couples and I know that young miss Iri and Master Jace are not on good terms these days so it'll be better if they can have some private talk. "

Ella gratefully looked at her for thinking that much for them, " Thank you for worrying about us, I'll make sure to bring them closer. "

They both looked at each other, coming to a peaceful understanding and agreement.

Ella went up and dressed herself as well, she put on a one piece light blue floral dress with the sleeves reaching her elbows and length reaching the knees, she put on a turquoise color straw hat and baby pink colour flats.

She went out and meet Iri on the hallway, wearing a middle length skirt, with a loose blouse shirt, a short heel sandals and a pink picnic hat.

They both smiled at each other and went down, the guys were waiting outside standing by their own cars, Jace wearing a white shirt, blue middle pant and white vans. Al wearing a light blue T-shirt and black middle pants with white converse.

" I'll go with Al, Iri can go with Jace. " Ella suggested and not wanting to bother the couple Iri agreed.

Ella asked Al, " Have you got the things? "

Al nodded, " Yes, they're in the back of the car. " Ella went to see whether everything was included and after confirming it, they hit the road.

It was a place filled with variety of roses with variety colours and short grasses making a green carpet for the place.

There were not many people and it wasn't a weekend so they got to enjoy a good spot. They sat down below a big tree that grew on a higher ground and which was a bit further from all the flowers.

The guys helped carry the things and the girls laid down a baby pink cloth to sit on. They kept the things there and enjoyed the view from there.

Ella suddenly said, " Oh we have forgotten the water flask, you boys go take it. "

Al asked him questioningly, ' shouldn't we give them time? ' and she whispered, " Just go I have something to tell her. "

Al sadly nodded and went away with Jace, Iri also didn't say anything more.

After they left Ella asked, " So what are your plans after this? Do you know what to say to him? "

Iri answered looking like a bullied cat, "I don't know how to start. "

Ella tapped her on the shoulder and said with a smile, " Don't worry, I'll make sure to give you some time later. "

They laid the things on the basket out on the carpet, and places them in the middle one by one.

Soon, they heard some giggles so they look up, unfortunately to see that Al and Jace was coming back but with some girls tagging behind them.

The two guys were not talking but the girls were asking them questions non stop, Al met Ella's eyes glaring at him like throwing daggers and he gave her an apologetic and guilty face.

Before the new comers came up to them Ella came down, Iri was just sitting there turning the other way, the girls were clinging to Jace as they didn't dare touch Al.

Ella went up and asked the two boys, " Did you bring them here on purpose? " She was angered, knowing that Iri was feeling more hurt than before and had probably given up on even trying, she could not bear seeing her like that anymore.

Al quickly denied, " No, they just tagged along. "

One of the girls eyed Ella up and down, the girl was a bit taller than Ella and was wearing a dress that clearly showed all her cleavage, " Who are you? "

Ella looked at her with cold eyes and said, " Your ancestor now go away, these man are taken. "

The other girl spoke, " But they don't seem like they want to admit. "

Al glared at her, looking down with cold eyes and with a harsh tone he commanded, " I told you not to bother us. "

The girl shrink back, as Al had clearly rejected from before ao now they were targetting Jace, she hid behind her.

Ella got more angry and she said, " Al go back first. And Jace what the hell are you doing, make the choice yourself, if you can't I'll make it for you and won't make her approach you agin, you know she won't defy me. "

Al instead of going back stood with Ella holding her waist. And Jace slowly muttered quietly out, " I don't wanna hurt them. "

Al who got a good ear hold back a laugh but Ella couldn't hear it so she asked again, " What? "

Jace raised his voice a bit, " I don't know how to handle them. "

Ella looked at him in disbelieve, then understanding his character she sighed, " All of you leave. "

The girls looked at her cockily and said, " Aren't you being too much, you take your guy and go away. "

Ella remained calm and composed," He's been troubled by you all, he's just a shy man so just leave me, he already have someone he likes anyway. "

The girls were a bit affected but they got back their composure and the tall women from before said again, " Well if the girl can't love him than I will love him for her. " She looked at Jace flirtatiously with a smile.

Ella snapped, she said in a low threatening tone looking at them with dead eyes, " Girl if you really want a man that much I can introduce you to some strong man who will be more than happy to mate and breed with you. "

Al and Jace both looked at her in shock, it was rare to hear her talk so hatefully to someone, let alone talk to a stranger.

The girls were offended and scowled at her, Ella was ready to snap the throat of anyone who fight her. Al hold her back and growled at the others, " You girls leave before I make you. "

The girls got scared but acting arrogantly to hide their timidity they walked away shrugging at them.

Ella sigh and said, " Jace, you don't have to hold yourself back to those women...." She turned to look at him to see Jace who was standing frozen looking at their spot, he said, " Where is Iri? "

Iri was no longer at the place where they were sitting previously. Everything was laid out as they had left it but she was not there.

Jace ran to the place and turning around he searched for traces of her but he saw nothing that resembled her. He turned to the two with horrified face, " Where? Where is she? "

Ella said, " She was just here before I went down, let's search for her. "

Al said, " Maybe she went down for something, I.. " Before he could finish his sentence he was tugged slightly on his shirt by Ella without the notice of Jace.

Jace ran away saying, " I'll go search for her. "

The place was filled with rows of roses that reached their heights and oncw they got on the centre it was like a maze. Jace ran around sweating and panting as he looked for Iri. The fear that she might have been targeted, that she might be taken away by his enemies overwhelmed him that he could not think much positivity of anything.

Back in their place, Ella was sitting peacefully with Al giving him fruits to eat. Al looked at her confusedly, " What's going on? Why did you stop me? "

Ella didn't give him much mind as she went on cutting the mangoes, slicing then in pieces, " It's fine, she texted me saying she met a lost child and will go return him to his parents. "

Al looked at her more confused, " Then why didn't you tell Jace? Shall I ask him to come back? "

Ella glared at him, " Don't you dare, he deserves to panic and worry about her to realise his mistake, here sit with me and eat this. "

Al sat down thinking in his head, ' I'm sorry Jace, I can't risk my own life to safe yours. '

Ella added, " And I haven't questioned you for not turning them down when they first approached you. "

Al prepared himself and thought again, ' I guess that's what I get for betraying someone. '
