Chapter 233
Ellie increasingly sensed that Alex was in a strange mood. She didn’t know how to comfort his inexplicable unease and broke free from his embrace. Looking up into Alex’s clearly erratic eyes, Ellie stood on her tiptoes and kissed him briefly.
Ellie looked at Alex with a firm gaze and said, “Alex, don’t be like this. After Carlos’s affairs are settled, I’ll go back and talk to my mom and ask her to agree to us getting our marriage license first.”
Alex’s breathing was heavy, and he held her tightly, even tighter. His three–year agreement with Joanna had just begun. They wouldn’t get married.
After Carlos’s funeral was over, Aaron would come to pick up Ellie and take her back to the Thompson residence. Ellie showed no signs of pregnancy.
He didn’t know what else he could do. He felt so oppressed that he seemed to be in a bottomless abyss, unable to see a glimmer of light or a way out
That night, Carlos slipped into a deep coma. At four o’clock in the morning, the doctor injected Carlos with a powerful stimulant, which could only last for five or six hours at most. No one slept all night.
The next morning, Carlos woke up miraculously. No one was happy about his waking up again. They knew it was called a false
recovery.
The whole family had breakfast with Carlos, and only Carlos could smile. After breakfast, Carlos missed his pots of orchids and insisted that Ellie push him to the garden.
Carlos talked more today than usual and said weakly. “Ellie, when you have time, teach Alex how to take care of the orchids. Don’t let these pots of flowers wither when you’re not here.”
Ellie squatted beside Carlos’s legs and nodded vigorously with red eyes.
Carlos said, “Alex, you should learn well and listen to Ellie.”
Alex lowered his head and replied firmly with a “humph
At that moment, the materials for building the cat house that Alex bought arrived. Carlos weakly pointed in the direction of the greenhouse and said, “I reserved that vacant land for making a flower bed. You can decide what to plant
Alex looked at Ellie. Ellie said, “How about setting up a swing on that vacant land? After we get married and have children, Alex and I can play with the children under the tree and we can all protect this home together.
Alex looked at Ellie with a determined gaze. Ellie’s description was so warm but Alex knew that they were so far away from
him.
“Okay!” Alex’s eyes became moist, and it took him a long time to speak with difficulty.
“Carlos, is that okay? Ellie turned to ask Carlos.
Carlos nodded weakly and smiled before closing his eyes.
Watching Carlos’s hand fall naturally, Ellie opened her mouth wide and big tears rolled down. She tugged at Alex’s sleeve and sobbed, “Carlos!”
Alex’s mournful cries filled the whole garden.
With Carlos’s death, the nine branches of the Warren family hurried from all over the world to pay their resects “The

funeral lasted for a whole week. All the prominent figures in the upper class of Jaslands came without exception, and Jason also came in person.
As the sole heir of the Warren family, Alex was busy with Carlos’s funeral during the day and dealt with company affairs at night, sleeping less than two or three hours a day.
When he was extremely tired, he would take Ellie back to the room and hold her for a nap
Ellie sat on the sofa, and Alex buried his head in her lap and rested with his eyes closed. Remembering what Aaron had said to Ellie today. Alex couldn’t help but hold her tighter and tighter.
Alex said, “Ellie, remember our promise and what you promised Grandpa! Tomorrow is Grandpa’s funeral. You must come back with me. Don’t leave me alone“”
On the day of Carlos’s funeral, the sky was gloomy and drizzling. At ten o’clock in the morning, in front of the cemetery on the hillside, as the pastor finished reading the last eulogy, the funeral ended.
Alex held an umbrella for Ellie and stood in front of Carlos’s tombstone at the end of the crowd. Ellie looked at the people constantly walking down the hill and felt extremely sad
In the drizzling morning, she stopped and watched the people in front walk down the hill.
But behind her, the old man who had once held her hand, led her into the Warren family, and said that she was the best girl was now staying here forever and would never be able to come down the hill again.
Ellie couldn’t help but look back at the tombstone again, and tears welled up again.
“Let’s wait a bit before we leave,” Alex held an umbrella over Ellie’s head with one hand and held her in front of him with the other. The two stood in front of Carlos’s tombstone and stared for a long time.
Not far behind them. Aaron saw Ellie didn’t follow and stopped.
Diana, along with her parents and several brothers, was walking and talking about something. When she looked up and saw Aaron stop, Diana was so scared that she hid behind Mark
Diana stammered. “Hey, you–you guys go ahead. I need to talk to Ellie for a bit
Diana shrank her head and tried to sneak away, but Liam grabbed her and said. “Are you so guilty? Have you done something bad again?”
Tim defended Diana, “She is your sister. Watch your words.”
“Exactly.” Diana pushed Liam aside and ran off
Tim approached Aaron and asked, “Aaron, Diana has been hanging out with you all the time. Has she been causing trouble again recently?”
Aaron looked at Diana, who was running away faster than a rabbit. His face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were furrowed deeper and deeper.
Quinlee watched all this. Seeing that neither Diana nor Aaron had left, she quietly stopped. Hearing Ellie agree to go back to the Warren Manor with Alex first from a distance, a flash of malice flashed in Quinlee’s eyes.
Alex had already successfully proposed to Ellie in Yorksure. Now that Carlos was dead. Quinlee couldn’t let Ellie go back to the Warren Manor. As long as she was there, she would never let Ellie be with Alex

Quinlee stood halfway up the mountain and looked down at the bottom of the hill. Back then, Ellie could lose her memory just by falling into the water. Quinlee wondered if Ellie fell down the mountain now and suddenly remembered everything.
As long as Ellie regained her memory and found out that Alex had lied to her, according to Ellie’s gentle yet firm personality, she would definitely hate Alex to death. She would never talk to Alex again for the rest of her life..
Watching Alex taking a call not far away and Ellie walking towards Diana and Lacey, Quinlee quietly followed. Quinlee knew that Lacey hated her, so she deliberately went to Lacey and held her hand, saying. “Ms. Mosley, this watch on your hand is really nice.”
Lacey disdainfully shook off Quinlee’s hand. “This is what I won in a bet with Mark.”
Ellie said. “Mark has a really good eye
Diana added proudly, “Of course, he has a good eye.”
“So it was Mr. Mark Grant who picked it himself. Then I’m more curious. Quinlee deliberately came over and pulled Lacey’s arm. As expected, Lacey impatiently pushed her away.
Quinlee deliberately stepped back, leaned back, and grabbed Ellie. The next moment, with a cry of surprise, both Quinlee and Ellie rolled down the mountain.
