While he stood in the elevator, Connor, being in his fifties, sensed that Aida now
looked down on him and no longer cared about him as much as before.
As he rode home on his motorcycle, he nearly ran into a car and ended up
crashing to the ground himself. Seeing that, a young man arrogantly scolded him
through the car window, “Learn how to ride a bike, you old geezer!”
Connor went dumbfounded all at once. All of a sudden, he recalled that when he
still drove a Bentley, he was respected everywhere he went, and now, he had
fallen to the point where he was scolded for riding a motorcycle. In an instant, the
contrast struck him and rendered him distressed and filled with regret.
If he had taken care of Ellen and shared the money with her back then, he
wouldn't have ended up in this situation. If his wife and daughter hadn't spent the
money frivolously and exercised a little restraint, they would at least have some
money left.
After crawling up from the ground, he patted. the dirt off his clothes and lifted his
motorcycle off the ground before heading home. Once he returned, Olivia
scurried over and demanded, “Why are you always so late? What have you been
doing?”
Looking at her hideous, revolting expression, Connor boiled with anger and
roared, “What I do is none of your business!” Olivia was taken aback by the fact
that he dared to raise his voice at her.
“Connor, I can't believe you dared to yell at me. It's just my luck that I decided to
stay with you!” Saying that, she slammed the door shut and locked herself in her
room to sob.
Connor slumped on a chair, realizing that life really was rough now that he was
strapped for cash.
It was half past eleven when Ellen finished her shower and returned to her room.
As her phone was switched off, she read a book to pass time, and as she was
reading, she gradually grew drowsy.
After she drifted off to sleep, al nightmare suddenly haunted her. In her dream, it
was as if there was an evil ghost that she couldn't get rid of, appearing in every
corner of her room.
Ellen woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes and glanced at the alarm
clock by her bed, it was exactly one in the morning. She instantly hugged herself
close, a strong panic she had never felt before shrouding her, and once her
fearful thoughts began, she couldn't drive them away.
Feeling as if she was going to lose her mind if she didn't find an outlet, Ellen
yanked the door open and ran hurriedly in the direction of the master bedroom.
When she arrived, she found that the door was ajar, and the inside was dimly lit.
At that point, she completely disregarded. the boundaries she should be keeping
and stepped inside. However, upon seeing the man on the gray bed, she was
shocked. He's not asleep yet, and is still working?
“Y-You haven't slept?” she asked sheepishly. “I was waiting for you.” Jared smiled
in reply having expected that she would end up looking for him later that night out
of fear.
Ellen blinked, the courage she had just mustered to barge into his room
dissipating into thin air as she flushed red, not knowing if she should enter.
“Come here.” He shifted his body, generously sharing his bed by leaving a large
space for her to sleep on.
Ellen swallowed. Frankly speaking, she didn't. want to stay alone in her room
now. Over the past two days, she had been highly tense and couldn't even sleep
soundly as she kept having nightmares. All she wanted now was a good night's
sleep, and the only way she could do that was to stay by this man’s side.
She bit her lips and looked at his soft bed that was tempting her intensely under
the light. With a gulp, she took a step toward the bed and asked in a small voice,
“Won't I bother you?”
