Ella and the family left Thailand a few days later…
And a few days later, Ella got a call from Tank.
“Hi Tank.” Ella answered her phone.
“Ella, please don’t kill me.”
“For what?”
“I’m married already.”
“What?”
“My parents wanted my wedding to be a quick, small wedding so we did the ceremony in a church.”
“It’s ok, I guess. You didn’t come to my wedding either.” Ella said.
“Jade says ‘hello’.” Tank said.
“Tell her I said ‘hi’ too. How is she? Is she pregnant, yet?”
“NO!” Tank screamed at her. Ella tried hard not to laugh.
“Well hurry up! I want a child to take care of!”
“Hey what about you?” Tank asked.
Ella didn’t say anything. “Oh, Chun’s calling me, I have to go!!” Ella lied and hung up the phone.
“Ella! Ella--.” Tank closed his phone.
“What’s wrong?” Jade came behind him taking off her work clothes.
“Nothing.” he wrapped his arms around her waist. “I missed you..”
Jade smile. “We just saw each other this morning.”
“Well I missed you then too.” He smiled and led her to the bed as they lost each other in the atmosphere of love.

“What’s wrong?” Chun asked seeing Ella rushed to the bathroom.
“Nothing…I just…”
“Ella!”
“I have to go to the bathroom, ok?!”
But Chun held the door open. “CHUN!!! I HAVE TO PEE!” she said unable to stay still.
“Let me come with you. I have to pee too.”
“Chun..you!! Get out!” Ella screamed and finally got him out.
Ella unwrapped the pregnancy test she hid from him after they came back from Thailand.
She nervously looked down on the stick.
Pregnant.

“Selina! You’re what?” Ella cried.
“Getting married.” Selina said.
“To Jiro?”
“Yes.”
“But--”
“I know what you’re going to say, Ella. But I love him. Even after what he had done, I’m still in love with him.”
“Then go for it!” Ella excitingly said.
“but I thought you hate him?”
“Even if I do--which I don’t, anymore--it’s your life, Sel. You hated Chun too right? It’s ok, don’t forget to get me lots of kids to play with!!” Ella cried hoping she didn’t remind Selina of her first miscarriage child.
“Ok. And Jiro’s uncle, Qian, wanted to apologize to you.”
“His uncle? How did you meet him?”
