Jared held her hand and walked to the scenic deck under the dim moonlight. At this hour, nobody was here, with the only hint of civilization being a light that was being emitted from a faraway lighthouse.
Ellen hugged her arms due to the cold wind. Noticing this immediately, Jared quickly took his gray suit jacket off and put it on her.
His warmth instantly enveloped Ellen along with a refreshing scent, making her blush before she looked up. Under the moonlight, her black hair, fair skin, bright eyes, petite nose, and luscious lips made her seem alluring yet a tad innocent.
Meanwhile, Jared, under the moonlight, saw that the woman was so beautiful his heart started to beat faster. It was as if other than her, no other thoughts could enter his mind.
Ellen was admiring the faraway scenery, not knowing that she was the man’s scenery instead.
Finally noticing the gaze on her, Ellen turned around with the wind still blowing on her face; it accentuated her innocent face. And within her bright, pure eyes, there seemed to be inexplicable traces of amorous feelings..
Meeting his gaze, Ellen became embarrassed, realizing with hindsight the romantic atmosphere between them. Gulping, she did not know what to say.
“Let’s chat! Ellen said. “What do you want to talk about?” The man was interested. After giving it some thought, Ellen asked, “When’s your birthday?”
“November 1,” he answered. Chuckling, Ellen replied, “That’s easy to remember. It’s three ones.” “That’s right.” Smiling, Jared asked, “So, that means you’ve committed it to memory?”
“It’ll be a bit over two months until your birthday,” stated Ellen. “Do you want to celebrate it with me?” Shocked, Ellen replied, “You should spend the day with your family.”
‘I can only celebrate my birthday this year by myself since my family isn’t around. So, it’ll be the same if I celebrate it with my friends.” Jared hinted.
With an elated expression, Ellen nodded. “Sure!” She really wanted to celebrate his birthday together. Suddenly, a strand of hair got stuck around her ear. She took a breath. It hurt her when she turned around, making her want to untangle it, yet Jared was already reaching out to her.
His warm fingers touched her soft ears, tickling her and causing her to dodge them. Her face was beet red right now. Out of the blue, Jared held her face before his face closed in.
Ellen fell into panic for a few seconds, but this panic quickly turned into expectation. Although she knew what Jared was going to do, who could resist such a man?
“Close your eyes,” Jared said with a hoarse voice. Doing as he asked, Ellen closed her eyes before the man’s warm lips made contact with hers. It was just a light kiss, as Jared did not go overboard with it.
Half opening her eyes, Ellen was greeted by the man’s tall nose and his thick eyelashes. Jared is very attractive at this distance. Just like that, she looked at him, yet Jared opened his eyes, seeing that she was looking at him. Obviously, her mind is in another place.
I didn’t think that she would be opening her eyes while we were kissing. This troubled the man, so he stopped being gentle and intensified the kiss just as he always wanted to.
“Mmph… Ellen felt his ‘punishment, closing her eyes immediately and focusing on what was happening right at that moment. She could only. feel the passion coming from the man, besides her body turning into jelly in his arms.
Kissing under the moon, there was a special kind of romantic spectacle to it with the man placing a hand on the back of Ellen’s head while the other was holding her waist.
Although her head barely reached Jared’s chin, at that moment, the man lowered himself for her. Not far away, the bodyguards showed up, having finally caught up to them. But they did not dare to take even one more step forward. Otherwise, they knew that their careers would end right there and then.
They also finally understood why Jared shook them off. Our young master is all grown up now!
They sighed. In the end, the bodyguards retreated even further to the point where they drove their vehicles a few miles out, fearing that they might disturb Jared.
Ellen was in a daze from all the kissing as she lay in the man’s arms, her heart beating wildly. Feelings of fear, love, nervousness, and excitement were all coursing through her because everything she had been through in her life up to that point was all shouldered by her alone. Even if she were to get wronged and hurt, she would still be alone.
This made her hug the man in a fit of panic. Jared, who felt her tightening embrace, kissed her hair. “Did I scare you?”
“No…” Ellen replied quietly. It was then Jared noticed that her dress was rather short. With how big the waves were getting, he put his hand around her waist before saying, “I think we should head back now.”
Ellen nodded, and Jared led her back to the car. As they headed back to the city, Jared’s bodyguards resumed following them. When they reached Ellen’s house, it was already past midnight. Jared said deeply, “Rest up well.”
Nodding, Ellen walked into her residential district. When she turned around, she found that Jared still had not left yet, making her feel warm inside.
Since it was the weekend tomorrow, it meant that she could sleep in. Tonight is one of the best nights of my life.
Even though it was already midnight, in Olivia’s home, Selena was having a hard time falling asleep, as her mind was filled with the incident that night. It was where Jared kissed Ellen and announced that she was his girlfriend.
Although Selena had never liked any man to this point, Jared was the point that always drove her crazy.
She really couldn’t figure out how Ellen was better than her. In her eyes, Ellen would always remain a bottom feeder, a person forsaken by the heavens.
Selena also heard Jared say that if not for her parents, he would’ve already taken measures against her. What do my parents have to do with the Presgraves? Frustrated, Selena was sleepless, so she went downstairs to get some water
Coincidentally, Olivia was also having some water in the living room, and she got shocked by her daughter’s sudden appearance.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Olivia asked. Sitting on the sofa with unkempt hair, Selena. looked at her mother and suddenly questioned, “Mom, are we related to the Presgraves?”
“How in the world could we have that honor?” Olivia sighed.
“Then tell me. Why is it that Dad managed to arrange a job for me at the Presgrave Group with just a phone call? Where does our money come from? You and Dad don’t have proper jobs, but our household is never short on cash. What is happening?” Selena bombarded Olivia with questions.
Olivia did not expect her daughter to be curious about all this suddenly. She took a seat on the sofa. “What is up with you?”
“I’m going crazy because of that woman, Ellen. She was Young Master Jared’s companion tonight, and she caused me to be humiliated by others at the event. Even Young Master Jared detests me now. He even said that if not for you and Dad, he would’ve taken action against me,” Selena whined Stunned, Olivia exclaimed, “Say what? Ellen got on your nerves again?”
“She took advantage of the fact that Young Master Jared was helping her and didn’t even bat an eye at me throughout the event. In the end, she even asked him to chase me out!”
“That hateful wench.” Olivia stood on her daughter’s side. “Mom, tell me now! Where do we get our money from?” Selena asked.
Pondering about it, Olivia thought that her daughter was grown up now, so she could not really continue to hide this from her. Besides, if I tell her, she might learn to be more sensible.
“You really want to know?” “Of course!” Selena nodded fervently. “Alright. This is a secret. Besides me and your father, nobody else knows about it. Now, I will tell you about it. But! You must keep it a secret!”
“I will.” “Back then, we were very poor. Do you still remember Ellen’s brother, Kev?” “Of course, I do! We even fought because he wanted to take my toy away! Didn’t he die because of an illness?” Selena was peeved.
“When the doctor advised us to discontinue treatment, there was a boy in desperate need of a heart in the ER. As we were about to leave the hospital, we were suddenly summoned to discuss organ donation. Finally, we donated Kev’s heart to the boy, and his family later donated 100 million to us,” Olivia stated.
Selena’s eyes widened as she couldn’t believe the family’s money came from this source Furthermore, it was Kevin, Ellen’s brother, who obtained it for them. “Mom, the person in desperate need of a heart in the past was Young Master Jared, right?” she said after taking a deep breath.
“That’s correct. As a result, the Presgrave Family has always been grateful to us. They will assist us with anything, including your studies. Because of their assistance, you could study abroad and attend a prestigious university.”
“Can we still ask for more money, Mom?” “Without a doubt. However, we have sufficient funds.”
“We’re not particularly wealthy, Mom. You have no idea how real billionaires live their lives. They can purchase a purse worth millions without batting an eyelid! That is something we can never imagine!” Dorothy had humiliated Selena badly. As a result, Selena despised the fact that her family was not wealthy enough
“We can’t compete with those billionaires, but don’t we have it all? Besides, Connor is not a glutton. We can’t ask for more when we have enough,” Olivia stated. She desired more, but Connor never requested it. Does Ellen know about this, Mom?”
“We will never tell her. We’ll take this secret with us to the grave. Otherwise, Ellen will cause us problems. The Presgraves will then learn the truth. We have no way of explaining this to the family.”
