Chapter 203
Ellie emerged from Carlos‘ room, her spirits at an all–time low.
“Let me take you to your room,” Alex said, his eyes filled with concern.
Ellie glanced at the suitcase in Alex’s hand and nodded silently.
At the top of the stairs to the second floor.
Alex watched as Ellie headed towards the room she had stayed in before. He steeled himself and stepped in front of her. “Not this room,” he said.
Ellie looked at Alex in confusion and asked, “Is someone staying here?”
Alex felt a pang in his chest. He wanted Ellie to stay in the room next to his so he could be near her. But if he let her stay there and she regained her memory, she would hate him when she found out Haley had stayed in that room.
After a short pause. Alex stammered, “You haven’t lived in this room for a long time. You’ve been staying in the west master bedroom since you came back for your internship. Let me show you.
Seeing Ellie’s hesitation, Alex half–pulled and half–coaxed her to the west master bedroom.
At the top of the stairs, Evan, the housekeeper, said worriedly, “seems that Jason can intimidate Mr. Warren. He took the initiative to send Ms. Thompson to the west wing”
Nancy couldn’t bear to watch and said, “He’s feeling guilty. He’s afraid that Ellie will hate him to death when Ellie gets her memory back.”
Alex pulled Ellie into the bedroom. It was indeed a girl’s room, with simple curtains and beddings in Ellie’s favorite rural style. Ellie came to the bedside and picked up the cartoon doll that Alex bought her when she was a child.
Memories came flooding back. She remembered that on the night before she went to Jinerity for college, she wanted to hide this cartoon doll in her suitcase and take it with her, but Alex found it.
That night, she pressed the doll into the suitcase and wouldn’t let Alex take it away. Alex grabbed one of the doll’s legs and said, “If you can’t bear to part with the doll, then don’t go.”
She thought about it and decided to leave the doll behind. She had to study medicine. She desperately wanted to cure her father’s leg.
On the day she left, Alex’s eyes were red with anger and he called her “ungrateful. For more than three years, she didn’t dare to contact him, and he didn’t contact her either because he was angry with her.
Their eyes met and Ellie looked away discreetly. She pulled her suitcase into the bedroom. Just as she was about to lift it up. Alex got there first.
Alex placed the suitcase at the foot of Ellie’s bed and said, “Ellic, want to have a good talk with you.”
Ellie stood still, frowning at the suitcase on the bed. The Alex in her memory was extremely arrogant and conceited. “Why is he being so nice to me now? Something must be wrong. I’d better listen to Aaron and be careful‘ thought Ellie
“Get out first, I’ll talk to you after I‘
I’m done packing.” Ellie refused

Chapter 203
Alex stood beside Ellie, watching as she bent over to take out her clothes from the suitcase one by one. The emotions eyes surged violently and his gaze involuntarily fell on her slender waist. He couldn’t help but gulp.
Remembering that crazy night in Jinerity made Alex’s blood boil His breathing unconsciously became heavier, and h Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He couldn’t help but move closer.
“Ahh!” Ellie turned around and was met with Alex’s undisguised gaze, so frightened that she gasped.
“Alex, what are you doing?” Ellie asked in shock and fear, carrying her suitcase and retreating to the door of the cloakro
“Are
hungry?” Alex asked, retracting his hand in disappointment as he failed to embrace Ellie.
Ellie put down her suitcase and walked over to push Alex towards the door. T’m going to take a shower. You go out now
Alex was pushed back by Ellie, but he couldn’t help but reach out and hook her fingers. He said with a gentle voice, “Elli we’re already together. We’ve done more intimate things. Don’t always distance yourself from me.”
“Bang!” Alex was pushed out by Ellie and the door was locked.
Alex stared at the closed door and spun around in a hurry. It took him a lot of effort to get Ellie back from the Thompse family, but Ellie had been on the defensive.
Ellie leaned against the door, her fingers twisting nervously around the hand that Alex had just held. Her heart pounded her chest. She locked the bedroom door and hid in the closet.
Hours later, Ellie was ready for bed after a shower when she realized she had forgotten her phone charger. She changed a went to Alex’s room, finding the door wide open. She knocked, but no one answered. Hesitantly, she entered.
She knew Alex’s habits. He always kept a spare charger and lighter on his nightstand. As she approached the bed, she noti a slight bulge under Alex’s covers. Her eyes widened with suspicion.
Carefully, she walked around the bed and lifted the blanket. A silicone doll, dressed in her clothes, stared back at her. She instinctively pulled the blanket back over it and turned to run.
A gasp came from behind her and Ellie screamed, colliding with Alex, who was coming out of the bathroom.
Alex, clad only in an untied white bathrobe, caught Ellie in his arms. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
The familiar scent of Alex’s shower gel brought Ellie back to her senses. She broke free from Alex’s grasp and stepped back Her eyes widened as they landed on Alex’s open robe and her gate slowly traveled downwards…
“Ah!” Ellie shrieked, covering her face with her hands.
“Don’t shout!” Alex covered Ellie’s mouth to stop her.
Ellie pushed Alex’s hand away. Seeing the silicone doll on the bed wearing her clothes and Alex in only a bathrobe with the belt untied, Ellie screamed again and scrambled out of Alex’s roon.
“Fuck!” Alex saw the blanket on the bed thrown open and the doll lying on the bed in a spread–eagle position. He chased after Ellie with his slippers on
“Ellief” Alex grabbed Ellie’s hand while tying his bathrobe belt with the other. “It’s not what you think. Let me explain.”
“I didn’t mean to lift your blanket. I came to borrow a phone charger. Ellie pushed Alex away like she’d seen a ghost, running along the wall toward her room
Alex grabbed Ellie, pushed her against the wall, and didn’t let her run away. “Calm down and listen to my explanation.”

Chapter 203
Ellie said, “Alex, you don’t need to explain. You took off my clothes. That doll can’t wear my clothes. People will misunderstand if they see it!”
Alex said. “Don’t be angry. I’ll go to take the clothes off now,
Ellie was angry, ashamed, and annoyed. Confined in this small space by Alex, she could only use her arms to support Alex’s chest to prevent Alex from getting closer.
Alex broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, lowered his voice, and patiently explained, “Someone else gave that to me. You misunderstood,”
“I know. The person who gave it to you is a pervert too. Ellie pushed Alex away and ran towards her room as if she’d seen a ghost
