Hearing Alex’s sudden suggestion to go abroad, Ellie pulled away from his embrace. “Why do you want to go abroad all of a sudden?” she asked.

to pull Ellie onto his lap, but she was hesitant, considering his injured leg
“Sit here, he insisted somewhat domineeringly, pulling her into his arms and settling her on his uninjured leg.
Leaning in slightly, he held her close and looked into her eyes. Tve contacted a very renowned expert overseas to see if they can help you regain your memory,” he explained.
Hearing that Alex was actively seeking a foreign expert to restore her memory, Ellie’s last bit of worry dissipated. “Tll follow your lead, Alex,” she said.
As their eyes met, Ellie felt her face grow warm from the intensity in Alex’s gaze. She lowered her head to avoid his eyes and tried to get up, but Alex held her even tighter.
With one arm wrapped around Ellie’s body and the other lifting her chin, Alex finally gave in and kissed the person he had longed for day and night.
Ellie’s hands pressed against Alex’s chest as she tilted her head back, accepting the uniquely Alex–scented kiss. The kiss deepened, leaving Ellie breathless. In the quiet pavilion, hormones spread unrestrainedly.
Lover!
“Come to my room tonight,” Alex whispered, barely containing himself as his hands roamed over Ellie’s body. He couldn’t help but lower his head again and capture her lips in a passionate kiss.
At some point, Ellie had wrapped her arms around Alex’s neck and straddled him, her legs parted.
Overwhelmed by the kiss, Ellie couldn’t help but make soft noises, causing Alex to lose control instantly.
“Back to the room, Alex said, picking her up and striding out of the pavilion, disregarding the pain in his leg.
Just then, a teasing whistle sounded, and Alex stopped in his tracks. Seeing Layton’s smirking expression from a distance, Alex’s face darkened immediately. “Go back where you came from, he snapped.
Layton was left speechless.
“Alex. put me down!” Ellie, regaining her senses, hastily struggled to slide off Alex and ran away, pushing him aside.
“You’re really despicable, Layton said, rolling his eyes at Alex, who couldn’t seem to tear his gaze away from Ellie.
In the pavilion, Alex sat on the wheelchair, dark–faced, pulling his shirttail out from his waist. “There are plenty who curse

Layton sat at the stone table and offered Alex a cigarette. “What are you planning to do if she suddenly regains her memory after you deceive her like this?” he asked.
Alex took the cigarette but didn’t light it.
He lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and after a long while, he spoke. There will be a way,” he said, determined
He had finally gotten this chance, and no matter what, he would let things go wrong between him and Ellie again.

At three in the afternoon, in Alex’s independent study on the second floor, Barry reported. “Mr. Warren, everything is set up in Yorksure. You can take Ms. Thompson there anytime.”
Standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows in the study, Alex, seated in his wheelchair, asked, “Has Stephen been contacted?”

Barry replied. “Mr. Warren, Stephen is an internationally renowned jewelry designer. His assistant said his appointments a booked three years in advance, and he’s not taking any new orders at the moment.”
“There’s no deal that can’t be made: it’s just a matter of negotiating the right price,” Alex said, spinning his wheelchair. around. “Arrange a meeting with Stephen. I’ll talk to him personally.
Barry informed him. “Mr. Warren, Stephen’s flight is scheduled for eight o’clock tonight, back to Yorksure.”
Alex said, “Prepare for the meeting. I’ll figure out a way to see him.”
As evening approached, Ellie prepared to go out.
Ellie went over to tell Alex she was leaving, but the servant informed her that Alex had gone out.
She took out her phone and saw several messages from Alex sent half an hour ago, saying he was meeting a friend.
Ellie immediately replied to Alex. She liked their current relationship; every action had a response, and everything was accounted for, which made her feel very secure.
When Ellie arrived at the private room of the Earl Hotel, she found that everyone had already arrived, waiting only for her. There were nuly four people Quinlee, Diana, Lacey, and Ellie.
“Ellie, come over here. I’ve saved you a seat,” Diana said, pointing to the empty spot between her and Lacey.
Ellie greeted Quinlee apologetically before moving to Diana’s side.
Today’s meal is on me, Ellie. I’m the one who should be apologizing. Don’t be polite, Quinlee said, standing up and handing
the menu to Ellie.
Ellie, always easygoing, pushed the menu back to Quinlee. “You order. I’m not picky. I’ll eat anything.”
“Alright, then I’ll just order the set meal, Quinlee said, glancing subtly at the message from Alex that popped up on Ellie’s phone before turning back to her seat.
Ellie picked up her phone to reply to Alex, and Lacey, who had sharp eyes, noticed the message from Alex.
“Wow! Really?” she said in a hushed voice, unable to contain her excitement. “Ellie, are you really with that bad guy now?”
As soon as Lacey spoke, Quinlee and Diana leaned in immediately.
Ellie’s face turned bright red, and she quickly turned off her phone’s screen,
Ellie looked at Lacey questioningly. “Why did you call him a bad guy?”
Lacey, remembering the deep pit Alex had dug for her, quickly hook her head “No, I was just joking.”
Diana tugged at Ellie’s skirt and whispered, “Ellie, are you really with that crazy man?”

“Don’t call him that.” Ellie corrected Diana before putting her phone down.
In other people’s eyes, Alex might be crazy, wild, and bad, but she was willing to accept him.
Diana and Lacey exchanged glances and kept silent.

“Ellie, now that you have amnesia, aren’t you afraid that Alex might deceive you? Lacey asked, lowering her head and leaning in closer to Ellie.
Ellie shook her head firmly. “Alex would never deceive me!”
“What if, hypothetically speaking, he did deceive you?” Diana asked.
“If I found out he lied to me, I would never speak to him again for the rest of my life,” Ellie replied.
“Congratulations. Ellie. The position of Mrs. Warren isn’t for just anyone,” said Diana.

She then asked nonchalantly, “Ellie, when did you and Mr. Warren get together? It’s quite sudden.”
Ellie looked at everyone seriously and said, ‘Alex and I are together now. It happened after we came back from Harwood”
“After Harwood? That would be after Alex saved Ellie, right?‘ Quinlee wondered.
Quinlee’s hand under the table clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
She had gone through so much trouble to stage that accident, intending to make sure Ellie never came back.
