~ At Titania\'s House ~

Zu Wan woke up in the morning with a confused look on his face. He dreamed about someone. It was the guy he met in the hospital who called him father-in-law.

"Who is that guy? Why did I suddenly dream about him?" Zu Wan murmured to himself while massaging his temples.

He saw in his dream that Tristan kept calling him father-in-law. Then he saw him talking to a black cat. It felt so weird as if his dream happened for real.

He also saw a moment where the black cat was keeping an eye on Tristan. He was on high guard towards him. Zu Wan even witnessed in his dream that a cat scratching Tristan\'s hands, and biting his legs as if he was protecting someone against him.

"That dream is so weird," Zu Wan mumbled to himself.

He sat up and leaned his back on the sofa. Zu Wan slept on the long sofa in the living room. Titania\'s house was just small, having two bedrooms, a kitchen which also served as the dining area, and living room.

Zu Wan was still thinking about Tristan and his strange dream when Titania came out of her room.

Titania met Zu Wan\'s gaze. Her face suddenly blushed in embarrassment when she recalled the intimate moment that happened between them. Zu Wan satisfied her and pleased her.

She was ashamed for offering herself to him only to get rejected by him.

"Good morning," Titania shyly greeted him before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them.

She had no plan of reporting to the company today. What if those men were still trying to kill her? Her life was still in danger. She didn\'t know who ordered those men to kill her.

But Titania had a hunch that CEO Miller had the motive to eliminate her.

\'Did he find out that I overheard his conversation with his underling?\'

Titania was so engrossed with thinking about those possibilities that she ended up burning her hands with hot water. She was supposed to make coffee for her and Zu Wan.

"Ouch!"

Zu Wan immediately walked over to check her hand. He followed her to the kitchen when Titania passed by the living room.

"Careful. Are you alright?" Zu Wan held her hand. There was a concerned look in his eyes as he rubbed her hand.

Titania\'s heart skipped a beat because of their closeness.

"Yes, I\'m fine." She approached the sink to wash her hand in the running water.

"I guess you are still frightened of what happened to you. Don\'t worry I will protect you."

Titania felt a sense of security in Zu Wan\'s presence. All this time she was fighting alone, putting her brave front with no one to rely on. But now, here she was, hearing someone telling her that he would protect her.

"Thank you, Zu Wan. I know you don\'t have obligation to protect us but I really appreciate it."

Zu Wan looked at Titania intently. \'How could I let anyone hurt the woman who has the same face as my Eva? I\'m doing this partly because of her.\'

The two were still staring at each other when Ella suddenly appeared, hugging Zu Wan\'s legs.

"Papa! Good morning! How\'s your sleep?" Ella asked him cheerfully. She was so happy to see Zu Wan together with her Mom as early this morning. They looked like a real husband and wife.

Meanwhile, Zu Wan was taken aback when he heard Ella calling him papa. He remembered Zhen-Zhen once again when she was calling her Fa-Fa.

"How about me? Where\'s my good morning hug?" Titania softly mumbled, opening her arms to Ella.

Ella\'s lips curled up into a glowing smile before she pounced on her mother\'s arms, hugging her.

"Good morning, Mom! Did you sleep well?"

Titania squeezed Ella in her arms before planting a soft kiss on her cheek. "Good morning, my baby! Your mom had a good night\'s sleep."

Titania was telling the truth. Even after what happened the other night, Titania had a peaceful sleep because of Zu Wan. Knowing that he was there with them, she felt safe.

"Alright, let\'s cook some breakfast first."

Zu Wan and Ella helped Titania in cooking their breakfast. Titania noticed that Zu Wan was not familiar with cooking food. He just watched the mother and daughter, observing their every movement across the kitchen.

Titania couldn\'t help but smile inwardly seeing the innocent look in Zu Wan\'s eyes. She taught him how to cook rice, egg, and fried fish. They also prepared corn soup.

They looked like a family of three as they ate together with happy expressions on their faces. Ella and Zu Wan were the ones who washed the dishes while Titania took a bath.

She would find another job today. She couldn\'t go back to the Miller\'s company and to the restaurant. The restaurant\'s owner tried to force her into sex. There\'s no way she would still show her face there.

She still had an unpaid salary but she would just forget about it. She didn\'t want to see the man\'s face again. As to the Miller\'s company, she would send her resignation today to her boss.

Now, she was also worried about Ella\'s safety. But since Zu Wan was there, Titania believed that he could protect them.

She just finished taking a bath when some unexpected visitors arrived at their doorsteps.

Zu Wan was the one who opened the door to check the people outside. He was cautious, thinking that the people who tried to kill Titania would show up at their front door.

But since it was already morning, no one would try to attack them in a broad daylight.

Upon opening the door, the chubby child whom he met the other day was standing outside together with her mom and two bulky bodyguards. They were Ella\'s relatives on her father\'s side.

"Is Ella there?" Ella\'s Aunt said with an arrogant tone.

"Who are you?" Zu Wan asked, although he already knew that they were Ella\'s relatives.

The woman who gave off a \'Madame\' vibe raised her eyebrow, eyeing Zu Wan from head to toe. This was the first time she saw this man.

"Are you Titania\'s boyfriend?" The woman asked Zu Wan again with a mocking look in her eyes.

She was looking down on Zu Wan since he was just wearing ordinary clothes. He was just a pretty face. A man without power and wealth could not match them. That\'s what she was thinking.

She assumed Titania was the one feeding this useless guy because Zu Wan was now living with them. If he was rich then he should have brought Titania and Ella to his place. But instead, he was the one who was staying in Titania\'s small house.

"Mom, that\'s the scary guy I told you before."

The woman\'s eyebrows were drawn together when she heard that.

"So you are the one who made my daughter cry! How dare you call my daughter Ugly and Chubby?!!" The woman was enraged.

Her loud voice was heard by Ella and Titania who were inside the house. The mother and daughter duo came out of their room to check the people outside.

They heard a familiar voice. The woman outside was none other than Ella\'s aunt, the sister of Titania\'s late husband.

"Sister-in-law, what\'s happening here?" Titania asked her worriedly. She could see that her sister-in-law was fuming in rage.

The woman glared at Titania and Ella who was hiding behind her mother. She was afraid of her Aunt. Her Aunt mistreated her several times, spanking her and punishing her without valid reason.

Ella already developed a phobia because of her Aunt\'s aggressive behavior towards her. She loved seeing Ella suffer and cry in fear.

Zu Wan knew Ella\'s story so he hated to see these people in front of their house.

"Your daughter and your useless man insulted my daughter! I can\'t let it slide. How dare they make my daughter cry? Are you this ungrateful, Titania? Can\'t you discipline your daughter and teach her some good manners?" Ella\'s Aunt burst out. She exploded like a raging volcano.

"Don\'t blame me for doing this! Hurting my daughter\'s feelings is some kind of abuse!!!"

"Sister-in-law, please calm down. Let\'s talk this out peacefully. Maybe there is just a misunderstanding." Titania tried to calm her sister-in-law down.

"No! I can\'t accept this insult! I will sue them for harassing and abusing my child!" Ella\'s Aunt threatened them.

Titania didn\'t know what to do. As much as possible she didn\'t want to anger her in-laws or argue with them. But she couldn\'t let them hurt Ella. She was just a child.

Zu Wan could no longer stay quiet. With his closed fist, he punched the door and spoke up. Everyone was shocked by his action.

"You are the one who abused Ella several times. Your daughter is the one who is bullying Ella, making her cry every day!"

Titania was dumbfounded when she heard that. She had no idea about this.

\'Are they bullying my daughter? Are they hurting my daughter? Since when?\'
