Chapter 105
Walking from the living room into the bedroom, the gray–tone minimalist yet luxurious decor of Alex’s room stood out. with a doll about one meter tall sitting on the sofa at the foot of the bed, looking out of place.
The doll was of high quality, and even after countless washes, it still looked the same.
When she first arrived at the Warren family, she would miss her home and family even more at night. Afraid of being disliked, she would hide and cry.
Eventually, Nancy found out and let her sleep in her room, but she still couldn’t stop crying. Even when she slept with the nanny, she continued to cry. Finally, Nancy tried moving her to Alex’s room.
At first, she also cried there. However, Alex was so intimidating that she was frightened by him.
He warned her, “If you wet the bed, I’ll really get mad!” Terrified, she immediately held back her tears.
Thinking they were getting along well, Nancy let her keep sleeping in Alex’s room for a while so she could get accustomed to everything at the Warren family.
However, she had a sleeping habit of holding onto something.
She remembered waking up on Alex’s bed for the first time, being pulled out from under the covers by hum.
He was annoyed with her for cuddling up to him, crying, and drooling on him.
That evening, he returned with a doll for her to hug while she slept
Ellie picked up the doll, thinking it’s better to just throw it away Keeping it was pointless
After checking the monitors by the bed and seeing everything was normal. Ellie left.
“Where are you planning to take that?” Alex’s voice came from behind, and Ellie turned around.
Facing Alex’s sinister gaze, Ellie didn’t move forward “You’re awake. Alex”
Annoyed, Alex took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Ellie noticed the heart rate, blood pressure, and all the data on the monitor were spiking, and she couldn’t help but frown. I’m telling you that getting too worked up is no joke, and you…
“Shut up!” Before Ellie could finish, Alex suddenly sat up on the bed.
Alex glared at the doll in Ellie’s hand, while Ellie looked at the equipment on Alex.
Following Alex’s gaze, she glanced at the doll in her hand, then put down the electrode patch attached to Alex’s fingers.
Alex didn’t say anything, just kept his eyes on Ellie. When she pulled her hand back, he grabbed her wrist.
Ellie tried hard to break free, but Alex held on tight. They tugged at each other, causing a thin layer of sweat to form on Ellie’s forehead.
Alex said, “Are you crazy? You are wearing so much at night.” Ellie pulled at the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 105
Seeing Ellie stay silent, Alex instinctively lowered his voice and said. “Ellie, can we talk?” Ellie nodded.
“Don’t make me mad!” Alex stared at Elhe, still not letting go.
Ellie lost her words for a while. After a short silence, she said, “As long as you don’t get physical
The moment she finished speaking, Alex let go of Ellic
Ellie turned off the monitor and tidied up the equipment.
Freed, Alex stood up, stretched, and said, “Count for me.”
With that. Alex started doing push–ups on the bed. Standing by the bed, Ellie quietly watched him.
때
Thinking back, when he did push–ups, she would squat next to him with a water cup, cheering him on and counting. Just unterly childish.
Seeing him do a few hundred push–up easily.
in one go, Ellie turned to leave, thinking. He is built like an ox, yet still gets angry so
Ellie arrived at the bedroom door, and somehow Alex had already sneaked up behind her, closing the door before she could.
Alex, barefoot, took off his shirt right in front of Ellie. Ellie casually watched Alex’s strong upper body.
Alex was very tall, standing at six–foot–three, a classic clothes model–appearing slim in clothes but muscular when shirtless, his muscles both attractive and strong, he had everything one could want
She had been watching him grow up since they were kids, always seeing him from a boy to a man.
Seeing him in just his boxers was nothing special to her anymore
Alex looked down at Ellie with a sharp gaze, her indifferent response causing his brow to furrow deeply. “Where exactly did you hide those paintings”
When it came to those paintings, Ellie couldn’t help but frown. Why do you have to ask?”
At the bedroom doorway, they locked eyes.
Alex’s eyes narrowed instinctively. “Because they’re very important to me!”
“How important? Ellie interrupted before Alex could finish. The bedroom suddenly went silent.
Seeing Alex hesitate, Ellie calmly said, “There’s no painting, nothing at all. If you don’t want me here, I’ll move out
tomorrow.
After saying this, Ellie walked past Alex to open the door.
Alex grabbed Ellie’s wrist with one hand and her neck with the other, forcing her to meet his gaze.
He spoke to her deliberately, “I never intended for you to leave the Warren family, but not in the role you’re after.
Ellie retorted, “What role are you thinking of, then?”
Ignoring Ellie’s question, Alex said, “I just want to know the real reason you joined the Warren family!”

Chapter 1051
Ellie felt a wave of irony wash over her. He knew better than anyone else what those paintings stood for.
The only reason he kept pushing was to get her to admit, to hear her say out loud, that she had secretly liked him for seven
years
After a brief silence, Ellie boldly looked into Alex’s eyes. “Whether I entered the Warren family or claimed kinship, wasn’t it all because you forced me?”
“Haley keeps causing trouble for me again and again, and you hurt me over and over for her Ellie’s tone was calm, while Alex’s eyes flickered.
Alex released Ellie slowly, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down intensely, yet he said nothing.
Ellie flexed her wrist and stepped back. “I won’t mention past events; I’ll just say one thing.”
Ellie said, “Because Haley misunderstood our relationship as being inappropriate, she bullied me in the streets of Ameria,
“Even though Aaron arrived in time to save me.I spent an entire month in the hospital. When I finally got out. I was still covered in injuries. Even as a doctor in the plastic surgery department. I almost couldn’t restore my face to normal!”
Ellie revealed an old scar that still hurt and said, “Can you imagine what it’s like for a girl, all alone in a foreign country, to be beaten nearly to death, disfigured, and unable to fight back. feeling completely helpless and terrified?”
“Ellie!” Alex exclaimed softly as he stepped towards her with restraint.
Ellie stepped back, not allowing him to come closer.
With tears filling her eyes and a slight smile on her lips, she said Even though I’m very poor, and Aaron and I owe the Warren family a lot, I’ve lived with you for more than a decade calling you Alex for over ten years
“How could you Just for the woman you love, you completely ignore my dignity? You don’t care how hurt I am, yet you force me to clear her name. You even threaten me with Aaron:
Silent tears rolled down from Ellie’s eyes, and after her sharp words, her voice became calm.
Getting choked up. Ellie met Alex’s intense gaze and softly said. “You keep pressuring me to reveal where those paintings went. Do you deserve to know?”
as he held Ellie’s shoulders, trying hard to control the surge of emotions within.
Alex’s eyes were bloodshot as
He leaned his forehead against hers, quietly saying her name. “Ellie.”
After a long pause, he only managed to say her name.
Loosening his grip a bit, Alex reached up to gently wipe away the tears from Ellie’s cheeks, the anguish in his eyes no longer
hidden.
Ellie stood still, allowing Alex to wipe her tears.
She let out a mocking chuckle and said, “Don’t let my
tears dirty the name of you
of your beloved woman on your ring finger?”
Alex’s hand froze as he was wiping Ellie’s tears. Then he looked at the tattoo on his left ring finger.
