Even Ruby glanced at Ella with an incomprehensible gaze. She had never expected Ella to stand up for her against Esther.
In fact, there were a few things she had never brought up in front of Ella. Back in time, if not for Esther, then the misunderstandings between them would have never taken place.
Ruby knew it for a fact that Ella's feelings for Esther would never be shaken by some of her accusations.
But looking at Ella today, Ruby was shocked even though her face did not betray much of an emotion.
Esther glanced at Ella who was standing there unflinching. Slowly, she turned to Ruby, "S-Sorry… I am sorry…"
Ruby looked at the girl nonchalantly.
"You were quite loud while insulting her just now. Try again."
Ella's smiling voice ran on Esther's heart like a piece of burning iron, corroding her flesh. After a moment, she opened her mouth, "I am sorry."
"That's enough…" Ruby grabbed Ella's hand just when the girl moved again.
