“Goodnight.” She was exhausted since she hadn’t slept well for several days. At this moment, she had no sense of fear in her mind. So, she felt tired all over and fell asleep in no time after she was completely relaxed.
When Jared heard no movements from the couch, he was slightly stunned. Did she really fall asleep just like this, with me beside her? Does my charm not affect her at all?
“Darling,” he called out softly.
As expected, there was no answer from her. Resigned, he sat up and looked at the moonlit spot on the couch, where a clear and blemish- free little face could be vaguely seen with a calm expression.
Seeing that, he breathed a sigh as his drowsiness was all gone. Not only could he not sleep, but he also had an urge, which he tried to control.
Half an hour after Ellen fell asleep, her good dream suddenly turned into a terrifying nightmare. It seemed like she was in at supernatural world, always seeing things that scared her.
This made her sleep uneasy. In her dream, something was entangling her, making her hand brandish in the air. “Go away! Shoo! Don’t follow me…” she yelled in her dream.
Jared, who was still awake, immediately sat up when he heard that. Oh no, she is trapped in a nightmare.
At once, he turned on a dim wall lamp and lifted the blanket to get down from the bed. As he looked at the pale girl on the couch, sweating. profusely and brandishing her hands in mid-air, he softly called out, “Wake up, Ellen.”
Just then, she held his hand and opened her eyes, her dark pupils still trembling. When she saw him, she suddenly hugged his neck and said, ‘I’m scared.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a nightmare.” Ellen buried her head tightly on his chest, like a frightened child, and refused to let go.
“Come sleep with me on the bed.” As he said that, without waiting for her response, he lifted her blanket and carried her to his bed. Only then did she snap out of her daze, wiping the sweat off her forehead. Her face, which had been pale just moments ago, was now blushing.
On the bed, Jared pulled his blanket over to cover her up, while he lay on his side next to her. Then, he reached out his arm and turned off the lights.
When the whole room was shrouded in darkness, she was on edge. Almost instinctively, she moved closer to the man. beside her.
Just then, a big palm held her hand and placed it around his sturdy waist, while his other arm went behind her head, letting her rest on his arm.
It was an intimate and ambiguous sleeping position, but it gave her a sense of security. When she breathed in his masculine scent, her mind couldn’t process any thoughts other than him. At this moment, the man next to her occupied her heart completely.
At the same time, the terrifying nightmare from earlier had vanished. She felt that even if she had another nightmare, she would have the strength to fight against any demons that may come her way, becoming a brave and invincible person.
“Alright. Let’s sleep.” He pressed the back of her head against his chest. This allowed Ellen to listen to his strong and steady heartbeat. This is Kevin’s. Instantly, it gave her immense courage to fight against any evil that dared to come near her.
“Goodnight, Ellen replied softly as she closed her eyes, and fell asleep while hugging him. Now, Jared couldn’t sleep even if he wanted to. All he had in his mind now was this girl in his arms as if she were a precious gift bestowed upon him by heaven, making him cherish her deeply.
After a while, she fell asleep again, but this time she didn’t have any nightmares. Her dreams were filled with comforting events. Around 5.00AM, he fell asleep as well. Meanwhile, the girl in his arms held onto him tightly and didn’t let go.
Perhaps Selena didn’t imagine that her actions would scare Ellen, but at the same time, they became a catalyst for Jared and Ellen’s relationship, bringing them even closer together.
Early in the morning, Ellen woke up first, but she didn’t move. She just opened her eyes, and a handsome and charming face came into her sight. For the first time, she boldly gazed at him, admiring him without restraint.
How can there be such a handsome man in the world? Every strand of his hair exudes a charming aura. From his voluminous eyebrows to his nose, his delicate and clean skin, thick and long eyelashes, sexy lips, and graceful jawline, everything is just perfect.
She repeatedly blinked as if she were preserving her admiration for him and storing. this scene in her memory, wanting to remember it forever.
As she was looking at him, his eyelashes fluttered, and the sunlight shone into his pupils. It looked like the Milky Way was poured into his eyes, making them breathtakingly beautiful.
“Morning.” His smile made her a little flustered. She dodged his gaze and accidentally touched something under the blanket.
Shocked, she blushed and lifted her head, only to see his handsome face was slightly red as well, and he unconsciously gulped. She was not a little girl anymore, so of course, she knew what she had touched.
She wasn’t sure how she had slept last night, but now the blanket was wrapped tightly around her. She tried to move, but she couldn’t budge and ended up twisting and turning. which caused the man next to her to gasp. Then, he warned her in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move.”
After being warned, Ellen froze at once. Only after he reached over to remove the blanket that she was lying on did she shyly slip out of bed and hurry back to her room.
While standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she held her hot cheeks, feeling embarrassed. What was I thinking last night? How can I sleep in his room? And even on the same bed? I trust Jared, but I caused him so much trouble.
At the same time, Jared had already entered the bathroom. The water temperature in the morning was cold, but this coolness was just what he needed to extinguish the burning desire inside him all night long.
At 8.30AM, as Ellen opened the door, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Jared standing outside her room in formal attire. He looked like he was waiting for her.
“Come to the office with me today,” he said. From now on, he wanted her by his side, no matter if it was day or night. This could prevent her from being harassed again.
“Will I disturb your work?” she asked while blinking. In fact, she wanted to go with him too since she was quite bored of staying at his house these few days. So, she wanted to experience something new.
“You not being by my side is what disturbs my work,” he replied seriously. She didn’t react for a moment, but when she realized the meaning behind his words, her face flushed. Am I really that important to him?
“Let’s s go have breakfast.” He reached out his hand to take her downstairs. After breakfast, they arrived at the floor where the president’s office of the Presgrave Group was. Ellen was familiar with this place; it was just that this time she was not coming as an employee.
She was invited to rest in Jared’s spacious room, where there was food, entertainment, a gym, and a movie theater. She could do whatever she wanted there.
After that, he summoned one of his employees and handed her phone to him. “Find out the IP addresses of these numbers.”
The employee took the phone and confidently. announced, “I can handle this in a few minutes.” He then took out his computer and began working on Jared’s couch. Within two minutes,. he sent an address to Jared’s phone. I’ve sent you the address of this person, President Presgrave.”
Jared looked at the address and immediately dialed another number. “Find the person at this address.”
A black SUV drove toward the address and arrived in less than half an hour. It was a run- down residential area. When they arrived, two bodyguards went to the front door and knocked. Instantly, the door opened, and at middle-aged man with a scruffy beard peeked out and asked, “Who are you guys?”
Right away, the bodyguards pushed him back. and entered the house.
“W-Who are you guys?” Fear crawled all over the man’s face. When the bodyguards tried to enter his room, he immediately rushed over to stop them. “This is my room. You can’t go in!”
However, the bodyguards pushed him aside like he was nothing and entered his room. Inside the room, there was a whole set of equipment on the desk. Seeing that, they video-called Jared and reported, “We found him, Mr. Presgrave.”
When Jared saw the equipment on the screen, his eyes flashed with anger. “Let me ask him a few questions.”
The middle-aged man was immediately pinned to the couch by the bodyguards to let Jared personally interrogate him on the video call.
The moment the man saw a dignified young man on the screen, he asked in shock, “Who are you? I-I didn’t mess with any of you. Why are you treating me like this?”
“I am Ellen’s boyfriend,” answered Jared coldly. Then, he questioned him, saying, “Answer me honestly. Who paid you to threaten Ellen?”
When the man heard that, his heart skipped a beat. Ellen has a boyfriend? Then, why did the client tell me that she’s a girl living alone?
“Answer Mr. Presgrave now.” The bodyguard exerted some force on his grip, causing cold sweat to pour out of the man from the pain. How could he not answer?
