Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Turmoil in the Family

After Ethan confessed his feelings to Ella, their relationship quietly began to change. Though they hadn't officially defined their relationship, there was an added touch of sweetness and shyness in the way they looked at each other and interacted. However, this beautiful affection soon faced a new challenge.Ethan's younger sister, Leah Cole, suddenly arrived in Los Angeles. Back in their small town, Leah had heard that her brother had landed a high-paying job in Los Angeles and was even living in a villa in Beverly Hills. She felt both happy for him and filled with curiosity. Without notifying Ethan in advance, she bought a ticket and made her way to Los Angeles.When Ethan saw his sister suddenly appearing at the villa gate, he was both surprised and delighted. "Leah, what are you doing here?"Leah smiled and threw herself into her brother's arms. "Bro, I missed you, so I came to see you. Wow, this place you live in is so beautiful—Is this really where you work?"Ethan nodded with a smile and led his sister into the villa. When Ella saw Ethan bringing in a young girl, she couldn't help but feel a little confused."Ella, this is my sister Leah. Leah, this is my employer, Ms. White," Ethan introduced them.Leah politely greeted Ella. "Hello, Ms. White. Wow, you're so beautiful—like a movie star."Ella smiled in response. "Hello, Leah. Welcome to stay."However, as they spent more time together, Leah gradually sensed an unusual tension between her brother and Ella. She pulled Ethan aside privately. "Bro, is there something going on between you and Ms. White? Why do I get such a weird vibe from you two?"Ethan felt a little awkward and didn't know how to answer. Under his sister's persistent questioning, he had no choice but to admit his feelings for Ella.Leah's eyes widened. "Bro, have you lost your mind? She's so much older than you, and she's your employer too. You two will never have a good outcome."Ethan frowned. "Leah, I'm serious. I love Ella, and she has feelings for me too. Age and status aren't issues."Leah said anxiously, "Bro, you're being too naive. What will the family think when they find out? Besides, she's so rich—can she really treat you sincerely?"Ethan grew a little angry. "Leah, you don't know Ella. She's a wonderful person. I hope you can support me."Leah looked into her brother's determined eyes and knew she couldn't talk him out of it. But she still thought this whole thing was unreliable. She decided to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Ella, hoping to make her give up the idea of being with her brother.
