The sharp sound of the slap echoed through every corner of the room.
The atmosphere in the bedroom changed dramatically in an instant, and even the air around them seemed to freeze. Alex ignored the pain on his cheek from Ellie’s slap and stared at Ellie’s numb face with his eyes fixed.
He carefully reached out to take Ellie’s hand, with a clear hint of hesitation. Before his hand could touch Ellie’s fingertips. Ellie jerked her hand back as if electrocuted. Then she turned and crawled to the other side of the bed.
“Ellie!” At the bedroom door, Alex grabbed Ellie’s shoulder and pulled her into a tight hug from behind. He held her tightly and spoke in a soft voice, “Didn’t we say we would move Luck’s bed upstairs tonight? I’ll go down with you now.”
Alex’s eyes were erratic, and his voice trembled noticeably. He said, “Ellie, you promised Grandpa that you would teach me how to grow orchids. I want to learn now. Let’s go to Grandpa’s greenhouse, and you can teach me.”
Ellie’s silence made him more and more anxious,
He said, “Have you decided whether it’s better to use wood paneling with varnish or to build brick walls for the outside of Luck’s cat house? You make the decision.
The next moment, Ellie broke free from Alex’s embrace with force. Their eyes met, and Ellie’s emotions broke down. “Stop pretending. I remember everything!”
Alex’s breath caught noticeably.
“I never want to see you again! Ellie pushed Alex away and stumbled as she turned.
Alex reacted and chased her out of the room. They struggled all the way to the living
groom entrance.
“Stop her!” Barry, who was just about to enter the room, heard Alex’s command and had to gather his courage to stop Ellie with the bodyguards at the living room entrance.
Alex, with red eyes, tried his best to control himself. He tried to explain. I’m sorry, Ellie. I did all this just to keep you. I won’t let you get hurt anymore!”
Ellie was so angry that she laughed helplessly, struggling to breathe and clutching the clothes at her chest tightly. Her tears poured down like a broken dam, and her face was extremely pale,
She said, “What are you using to keep me? With your disgusting tricks and lies?!” Looking at Alex approaching her step by step, Ellie’s firm steps didn’t retreat,
Ellie shouted, “Don’t forget that the person you love is Haley. Don’t forget how you hurt me again and again for her!”
“I’ve always been looking for you. It was a mistake that I thought it was someone else. I don’t love her!” Alex shouted, breaking down.
“If you don’t love her, how could you have the heart to suppress me and my brother again and again for her?!”
With red eyes and a visibly moving Adam’s apple, Alex said word by word, “I was wrong, Ellie. I beg you to give me a chance to make it up to you all

us?” Ellie laughed out of anger. “If it weren’t for you, my dad wouldn’t have died. How can you compensate for
Tm responsible for Mr. Thompson’s death, but I really didn’t do it on purpose!”
Suppressing his emotions, Alex moved towards Ellie and said, “Ellie, we love each other. In Yorksure, you promised me that

no matter what happened, you would never leave my side. We made a promise to walk together forever!”
“A promise made with a lie is more false and unreliable than the lie itself! Since the day my dad died, we can only be strangers! I never want to see you again. Never!”
After saying that, Ellie pushed Barry, who was blocking the doorway, and rushed into the heavy rain.
Barry was so scared that he raised his hands above his head and didn’t dare to stop her.
“Ellie!” Alex chased after her desperately. “In Yorksure, we were already engaged! We’re together, Ellie. You promised me that you wouldn’t leave mel
Alex was pushed away by Ellie again and again, but he kept approaching her. The heavy rain quickly soaked both of them. Alex begged humbly and cried like a child in front of Ellie.
Ellie’s cries were even more heart–wrenching, Neither of them was in a better situation. Even the kitten that Alex brought back for Ellie a few days ago circled them in the rain, meowing sadly and refusing to leave their sides.
In front of Alex, Ellie took off the diamond ring on her left ring finger and threw it at him. The ring hit Alex’s chest and then fell to the ground in the garden, making a faint sound and finally lying quietly in the puddle.
Alex’s red eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. He stared at Ellie in a daze and forgot to react for a moment. Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
After a long time, Ellie stopped crying. She said, “You asked me to put the wedding ring on your right hand, not because you wanted to see this diamond ring and think of me all the time!”
She continued, “It’s because your left ring finger belongs to Haley. You engraved Haley’s name on your ring finger a long time ago, and there is no place for me there!”
Alex’s chest felt as if it was being tightly squeezed by someone, and it was so painful that he could hardly breathe. “Back then, I didn’t think that much. I just wanted to use some means to take her away from Aaron, regardless of love or not!
“I thought the person who saved me was her, and the person who couldn’t have children because of saving me was her. I made a mistake, Ellie! You are the person I love and the person I want to protect. It’s always been you!”
He numbly lifted his leg and took a step towards Ellie, but she stepped back two steps to avoid him.
She shook her head. “Even though you don’t love me, you can pretend to be so affectionate. Even though the lies are so fake that they can’t be any more fake, you can still say them so sweetly.”
“You really make me sick!” Ellie turned around resolutely and saw Alex’s parents not far away.
Nancy cried, “Ellie, it’s the Warren family that has wronged you!”
Hearing Nancy say “sorry” again and again and seeing Todd’s guilty expression, Ellie burst into tears.
Even when her relationship with Alex was the worst, she never thought of breaking off with the elders of the Warren family. But now, she wanted to break it off completely. Everything related to Alex was completely severed.
“Ellie! Don’t go!” Her wrist was grabbed again, and then he held her tightly in his arms. Ellie didn’t move. She just looked up at Alex’s parents and waited quietly.
“Pull him away!” Todd said with pain, and Nancy turned away, crying.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Warren, Barry said with determination and stepped forward, He suddenly locked Alex’s arms from behind, and then several bodyguards joined forces to pull Alex away forcibly.
“Ellie, come back! You can’t leavel In the struggle, Alex fell to our knee.

But his hands were locked behind him by Barry, and his body was held down by several bodyguards and couldn’t break free. He knelt in the heavy rain and called Ellie’s name over and over again. He struggled desperately, like a trapped beast in a
cage.
But Ellie never looked back at him even once. Ellie braved the heavy rain and walked out of the Warren Manor gates. When she saw Aaron standing quietly by the car with an umbrella and waiting for her, Ellie stopped.
“Aaron.” Ellie murmured, “Did you know I would…?”
Aaron stepped forward, holding the umbrella with one hand and pulling Ellie into his arms with the other. He said softly, “I knew that as long as you regained your memory, he wouldn’t be able to keep you.”
“It’s my fault! I didn’t listen to you. I deserve it!” Ellie cried uncontrollably in Aaron’s arms, completely breaking down. She said, “I hate him, but I hate myself even more!” This was the first time Ellie used the word “hate” to describe Alex.
Aaron’s voice was calm as he said, “People who love each other can’t bring themselves to hate. People who don’t love each other don’t care if you hate them. Only a stupid girl would torture herself like this. You are so smart. You definitely won’t do
that”
He continued. “Whether you love or not, you must be graceful. You are a sunflower that grows towards the sun. When there is no sun on a rainy day, you are your own little sun.”
Ellie hid in Aaron’s arms and cried freely. Life had been so difficult for her, but fortunately, she had such a good brother who had been by her side all the time, never leaving her.
Aaron stood quietly, holding an umbrella with one hand and allowing Ellie to lean on him, crying and wetting his shirt.
