Ellen replied, “It’s not necessary. I can go house- looking myself.” She knew the man’s intentions. Although Connor and his family had kept the obvious gains for themselves, she wouldn’t ask the Presgraves to show her their gratitude.. After all, the Presgraves had shown them enough gratitude.
“Ellen, I want to return your kindness. Just tell me if you want anything. I’ll satisfy you,” Jared replied frankly. Even if she didn’t bring this up, he would return her kindness from now on in every way possible.
“I don’t want anything.” Ellen shook her head while regretting what she had said to the man yesterday. She apologized, ‘I was too impulsive yesterday. I lost my mind after Selena suddenly said those things to me. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Why would I blame you for that? I’m the one who should apologize. I actually didn’t find out the donor’s identity for such a long time. Had I learned sooner that it was your brother, I would’ve shown you my gratitude already instead of tarrying until now. It was my fault for being stupid, Jared replied remorsefully. This whole thing was my fault. I was too slow.
Ellen pursed her lips for a moment. Then, she shook her head, saying, “I wouldn’t blame your for that. Besides, I’m proud of my brother for saving your life.”
“Speaking of it, Ellen, it was magical that my heart pounded when I first laid eyes on you. It was like I was destined to get to know you. Do you still remember?
You were carrying such a big garbage bag at the golf course that day. The instant I saw you, I felt that I couldn’t bear to see you like that,” Jared said. Ellen smiled in surprise. “Is that so? Was it that magical?”
Jared nodded; he believed that it must be the case, “It’s true. I think your late brother must be hoping that I can take care of you and protect you on his behalf.” Ellen was moved by his words. I’m so lucky to get to know him! she thought.
“Why don’t you stay at my place for the time being until you find a house? Your suitcase has been delivered to my place, anyway,” Jared said, making an excuse. He had insisted that Stanley take Ellen’s suitcase to his place this morning.
Indeed, Ellen had nowhere to go. She replied with a nod, “Well, then, I’ll bother you for a couple of days. Once I find a place to stay, I’ll move out.”
Jared didn’t want her to hurry, though; he was willing to let her stay at his place for the rest of her life. “Okay!” He was delighted. I’ll make use of this period to soften her up into letting me take care of her for the rest of her life. What reason do I have for not taking care of her? It was all thanks to her brother that I could stay alive, after all.
Jared thus took Ellen to his home. Even the scenery around them seemed to become wonderful along the way, and she relaxed a bit as a result.
That afternoon, Connor called a real estate agent to put his family’s house up for sale. The real estate agent told him that the houses in his neighborhood were in high demand and sold very well on the real estate market, so the house was valued at a little over 8.5 million, which was already the highest selling price.
Connor did some calculations. If the house could really be sold at 8.5 million, he would have to give Ellen 7.5 million and pay the mortgage’s outstanding balance with the remaining one million.
However, the outstanding balance was about 1.7 million, which meant he would have to fork out another 700,000. Because of that, he decided to sell his car, too. This time, he was really going to sell everything they had. He didn’t even know where to get money for his family’s living expenses in the future.
Olivia shut herself in the room while crying her heart out. Now that she looked at this house, she was really reluctant to part with it. Still, however reluctant she was, she had to take the consequences into consideration. Ellen would bring a suit against them, and perhaps she and Connor would have to go to jail.
With Jared backing her up, it’d be easy for Ellen to ruin Connor and me. We might even get sentenced to jail for a few years longer once she files a suit against us. “Damn you, Ellen!” she cursed while crying. Now my comfortable life is ruined thanks to her!
Much to their surprise, shortly after their house was put up for sale on the real estate listing website, the real estate agent called, saying that someone would like to check out their house. Connor hurriedly knocked on the door to Olivia’s room.
Even though they had fought just now, they had to discuss what should be discussed. “Someone’s coming to view our house in a moment, so we’ve got to tidy it a little.” “I don’t want to sell it,” Olivia replied stubbornly. Connor ignored her, though. “They’ll arrive at 3.30PM.”
At 3.30PM sharp, a couple came to view the house. Since Olivia usually took pretty good care of it, the couple was satisfied with the house at first glance.
After hearing that the real estate agent would bring another group of prospective buyers here to look at the house tomorrow, the couple discussed it for a while. and immediately decided to buy the house..
Connor accompanied the couple on a tour of the house before they bargained with him over the price. In the end, they offered to buy the house at 70,000 higher than its selling price.. Seeing that they sincerely wanted to buy the house and that he was in a hurry to sell it, Connor immediately struck the deal.
Olivia stood aside in silence with a long face, while the real estate agent said the agreement could be signed tomorrow afternoon. “May I ask when you guys will move out of here? We have to renovate the house immediately for my son’s wedding,” said the buyer.
“We’ll move out three days after we get the money, Connor promised. “Alright, that settles it, then. We’ll pay the money in full tomorrow,” the buyer said readily.
Olivia looked at the spectacularly dressed woman, then at her scholarly and refined husband next to her. She was really filled with envy.
Later that day, Connor drove his Bentley out to have it appraised. He had indeed succumbed to his conscience on this matter. Meanwhile, at the Presgrave Villa…
Ellen moved into the guest room where she had stayed previously, which was next door to the master bedroom. Her clothes had been put away in the wardrobe.
Just then, she heard. someone’s footsteps. The next instant, the door to her room was pushed open, and Jared came in with a kitten in his arms. “Milkshake!” Ellen blurted out in delight. Little did she expect Jared had brought the kitten home.
“I just picked it up from the pet shop. Only when you’re here would we have time to keep it.” Jared placed the kitten in Ellen’s arms. Seeing the smile that appeared on her face when she saw the cat, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he went downstairs before returning with two large suitcases of clothes in his hands.
As it turned out, he had someone go to Ellen’s previous apartment and pack up the clothes she had left there. Not only that, the clothes were all branded.
“You should switch back to this cell phone. He handed Ellen’s new cell phone to her. “This phone’s camera has a higher resolution, which would make it easier for you to take pictures of Milkshake.”
Ellen’s cheeks burned slightly. These were the things that she had done yesterday in a fit of pique, so she felt somewhat ashamed at this moment.
“You, Milkshake, and I will be living together from now on, Jared said smilingly with his eyes full of anticipation. As he had expected, kittens were experts at mood healing, for Ellen was already in a good mood that night.
The Presgrave Villa was big, so it would take a long time to look for Milkshake if the little kitten were to disappear somewhere. All Ellen did was. tidy her room a little, yet the kitten in her room had gone missing in the blink of an eye. ‘Milkshake! Milkshake, where are you?”
She had no choice but to set aside what she was doing to look for the cat. She feared that the cat might fall somewhere, and besides, she was now on the third floor, so she feared that it might fall while going around.
She searched along the hallway, but she didn’t find Milkshake either. Then, she noticed that the door to the master bedroom was half-open, which caused her stomach to knot at once.
Don’t tell me Milkshake has gone into Jared’s bedroom! It’ll be bad if it pees on his bed. She couldn’t think of anything else. In a moment of desperation, she hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the room to look for the cat.
The man was nowhere to be seen in the master bedroom. Ellen was only worried about one thing: she feared that Milkshake might pee on his bed.
“Meow!” Hearing a faint meow from under the curtains, Ellen was overjoyed. Turns out Milkshake really came in here. She immediately came to the curtains and pulled them back, getting behind the layers of sheer curtains to search for the kitten.
As she was absorbed in finding the cat, she didn’t notice at all that the bathroom door had been pulled open behind her.
A slender figure who still had steam coming off him stepped out from the inside with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. Toweling his hair dry with his towel, he stepped onto the high-quality carpet in the master bedroom, which perfectly absorbed the sound of his footsteps.
Just then, the man noticed a shape protruding from the curtains, which caused him to knit his brows instantly. Someone’s hiding behind my curtains? His nerves tautened at once; he clenched his fists while stepping toward the curtains, wanting to catch the thief immediately.
At this moment, Ellen was about to come out after holding Milkshake in her arms behind the curtains. The instant she pulled back the curtains, a fist came flying toward her face. Her eyes widened in fright, and the man also retracted his fist in shock when he saw that it was her. However, he lurched forward for a moment while retracting his fist.
Immediately, the man placed his hands firmly on the glass window for support, trapping the frightened young lady in his arms. In an instant, their faces were so close together that they almost kissed.
The atmosphere was indescribably awkward. Therefore, the man decided to just go through with it. Since God had created such an opportunity for him, how could he waste it?
He playfully sucked the young lady’s red lips for a moment with his thin ones. Ellen’s pretty face reddened instantly. She quickly turned her face away; just then, Milkshake jumped out of her arms again..
“Don’t hide behind the curtains next time. I might hurt you by mistake, Jared said, reminding her in a deep voice.
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Ellen had not choice but to shift the blame onto Milkshake. “I- I didn’t enter your room on purpose. Milkshake suddenly went missing before I realized that it entered your room and was h-hiding behind the curtains… she explained with a stammer. Then, seeing that the man only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, she immediately covered her face with her hands, saying, “Sorry.”
Jared took a few steps back while looking totally at ease.
While covering her face with her hands, Ellen peeped through her fingers at the man’s figure. This had to be the most perfect male figure she had ever seen. Jared wasn’t scarily beefy, nor was he lanky. Instead, he was slender and well- proportioned in stature. With clearly outlined muscles and robust lines, his figure was the perfect embodiment of strength and beauty.
