Lambert countered with a frown, “Would anyone snatch a person like you do,
Young Master Jared? Miss Reiss is my guest, and she has yet to say she wants
to leave!”
Caught between the two men, Ellen found herself at a momentary loss for what
to do. “Pack your stuff, Ellen. We're leaving now,” Jared whispered to her beside
him.
Ellen broke free of his grasp before saying to Lambert, “Mr. Orey, thank you for
putting me up last night. I'll stop bothering you after this.”
“What? You're leaving for real?!” Lambert asked reluctantly. “I have something
else to deal with, so I shan't bother you anymore,” Ellen said to him.
“It's nothing! We're friends, after all,” Lambert replied with a chuckle just to spite a
certain someone. “Uh-huh. It's a real pleasure to be friends with you.” Ellen
smiled. Lambert really isn't a bad guy. she thought.
Lambert's smile broadened more and more at the sight of Jared's darkening
expression. “In that case, we should go out for coffee sometime.”
Ellen nodded. “That's a great idea! Well then, I gotta pack my stuff first.” She
darted a look at the man beside her, only to notice his long face. I'd better pack
up before anything else, she thought.
Lambert followed her back to the villa. After following her upstairs, he stood at the
door to her room to keep her company. “Ellen, have you two made it up already?”
he asked.
“Something happened between us that has to be dealt with right now,” Ellen
explained while putting away the clothes on her bed. Seeing that she was going
to make the bed, Lambert strode in and volunteered, “I'll do it! You pack up your
stuff.”
Ellen replied somewhat embarrassedly, “No, let me do it instead.”
However, Lambert insisted on making the bed himself. For some reason, he felt
protective toward Ellen, who was really kind of everyone's darling with her
vulnerable beauty.
Ellen was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. “Thank you.”
“Don't mention it. We're friends already, no?” Lambert said while making the bed
dexterously. Then, seeing that she had packed her suitcase, he reached out and
lifted it up for her, saying, “Let's go! I'll walk you downstairs.”
Ellen followed him to the door. After the door opened, he walked her all the way
to the door to Jared's RV while carrying her suitcase. “Here, I'm giving her back
to you. But if you don't cherish her, then don't blame me for stealing her again,”
he said.
Jared narrowed his eyes and replied, “I'm afraid you'll never have the
opportunity.” “Wow! So confident, eh?” Lambert replied before winking at Ellen.
“Goodbye, Ellen.”
Ellen watched the man stride into the distance. Before she came to her senses, a
male voice dripping with jealousy rang beside her. “How much longer are you
gonna follow him with your eyes?"
Ellen withdrew her gaze and asked him, “Can you go with me to my uncle's
place?”
“Of course, I can.” Jared nodded before handing her suitcase to Stanley beside
him. “Take this suitcase to my house.” Ellen was speechless for a moment. “I'm
not going to your place.”
Stanley immediately picked up the suitcase, saying, “Got it. I'll deliver it right
away.” With that, he walked toward his car and then left with Ellen’s suitcase
before she could say anything.

Connor was in an extremely irritable mood, though. He looked up and barked at
her, “Go ask for the money yourself if you want!”
Olivia couldn't wait to ask for the money herself, of course. She was just in no
appropriate status and position to do so. “Dad, stop barking at Mom, will you?
We're just anxious to get the money, Selena said in an attempt to advise Connor.
