Chapter 237.
After Ellie regained her memory and returned from the Warren Manor, it rained for one or two days in a row. Her family gave her enough time and space. As long as she stayed in her room alone, no one would come in to disturb her.
Since Ellie came back. Joanna hadn’t actively asked about anything that had happened between Ellie and Alex. Every day. Joanna tried her best to make delicious food for Ellie.
After work, Joanna would come to chat with Ellie for a while, but it was all about happy things that had nothing to do with Ellie’s experiences during this period.
And Jason and Whitney, in addition to giving Ellie comfort, also supported her and never scolded her once. The whole family had given Ellie enough respect and security, allowing her to take a breath and calm down.
In the afternoon, Ellie woke up groggily and found that the weather had cleared up. Seeing the missed calls from Diana and Lacey on her phone, Ellie quickly changed her clothes and freshened up.
Lacey and Diana came into the living room one after the other and greeted Joanna sweetly. They sat down on the sofa and waited for Ellie. Lacey couldn’t help but mutter, “Diana, why did you have to come at this time?”
“Aaron isn’t home from work at this time, Diana said casually.
Lacey asked, “Why did you wait for Aaron to not be at home to come?”
Diana realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have and smiled awkwardly. When she saw Ellie coming downstairs, she quickly changed the subject. “Ellie, are you feeling better?”
When the three girls got together, there were endless topics to talk about. But Lacey and Diana didn’t dare to mention anything about Alex.
Diana sat cross–legged on the sofa and looked at her watch from time to time.
“Diana, do you have plans tonight? If not, you and Lacey can stay and have dinner with us. My mom is cooking fish for you. herself. Ellie saw Diana looking at her watch repeatedly and couldn’t help but ask her.
Diana shook her head, and then nodded, and finally said perfunctorily, “I have a small matter.”
“No way. I must stay and eat Mrs. Thompson’s homemade fish tonight. Lacey grabbed Diana’s arm and didn’t let her go. “Aaron should be getting off work soon. Let’s have a drink together.”
Ellie looked at the time and said, “Aaron should be home at this time, Diana, you can leave after dinner,”
When Ellie said that Aaron would be home soon, Diana couldn’t sit still anymore. “Well, I really have something to do. I’ll come another day Diana got up, picked up her bag and car keys and left.
At the entrance of the living room, Ellie opened the door, and Aaron just came in. Ellie said, “Aaron, you’re back
When she heard Ellie’s words, Diana, who was just bending down to change her shoes, quickly turned around. She unexpectedly met Aaron’s gaze and was so scared that she kicked off the high heel she had just put on one foot and ran
towards the stairs-
“Dianal” Aaron closed the living room door and chased after her.
“Aaron, stop right there! A gentleman uses words, not fists!” Diana darted around the living room like a catfish, trying to avoid Aaron.
Aaron’s face was gloomy as he walked towards Diana and took off his uniform jacket.

Diana was good at martial arts, but if Aaron didn’t let her go, she couldn’t escape at all. She was caught by Aaron’s ankle with one move, and after just a few exchanges, she was locked by Aaron and couldn’t move.
Diana shouted, “Aaron, you’re not playing fair! You’re a jerk. You pulled on my bra strap! Let me go. I’m going to call my
Diana’s arms were locked behind her by Aaron, and he carried her upstairs with one hand around her waist, leaving her with only her mouth chattering non–stop.
Ellie and Lacey stood in the living room, both with their mouths wide open, completely shocked. The same was true for Joanna at the kitchen door, who was holding a spatula.
Lacey was the first to react and pushed Ellie, saying, “Oh my god, what’s going on with them?!”
Ellie shook her head mechanically. Aaron chased Diana as soon as he came in and actually carried Diana upstairs in front of
everyone.
“Ellie, go up and see what’s happening” Joanna pushed Ellie upstairs and then went into the kitchen, took off her apron and put down the spatula.
At the door of Aaron’s room on the second floor, Ellie, Lacey and Joanna listened to the commotion inside and were so scared that they knocked on the door at the same time.
Inside the room, Diana was pinned to the bed by Aaron with one hand. She struggled, waving her hands and feet, but couldn’t break free and could only curse in frustration.
Aaron’s face was dark, and he reached under Diana to touch her phone with one hand.
“Mrs. Thompson, come and control your son. He’s molesting me!” Diana shouted when she heard Joanna knocking on the
door.
Aaron finally got a chance and wasn’t about to let it go. He turned Diana over and reached for the small bag she was holding. Diana lay on Aaron’s bed with her hair in a mess and one of the thin shoulder straps of her camisole slipping off, but she still held the small bag tightly. “What are you doing, Aaron?!
Diana kicked Aaron in the chest without hesitation. Before she could pull her foot back, Aaron grabbed her ankle and her towards the bedside.
pulled
“Diana, I don’t have time to play your games. Give me the phone!” Aaron’s face looked ugly, as if he remembered something. At that moment, Aaron’s room was unlocked from the outside. Joanna saw Aaron pinning Diana to the bed and quickly went forward.
“If you have something to say, talk nicely. Don’t lay a hand on her! Joanna said with a serious expression and pulled Aaron
away.
Ellie and Lacey quickly helped Diana up
“Mrs. Thompson, he is bullying me. He brought me into the room, pinned me to the bed and took off my clothes. It’s so scary. I want to go home and find my mom,” Diana cried as she ran out of Aaron’s room, and then ran away barefoot.
Aaron wanted to chase after her, but Joanna stopped him. Joanna said. “You’ve scared her like that. You can’t chase after her anymore. Tell me, what’s going on?”
A mother knows her child best. Aaron was known for being stable and measured in doing things, and Joanna knew that. But Aaron’s actions just now really surprised her.
“Mom, you’ve got it wrong. I didn’t do anything to her!” Aaron tried to explain, but looking at the three shocked faces in

Seeing this, Lacey pulled Ellie to the side and whispered, “Ellie, since Aaron won’t say, let’s ask Diana. There must be something going on between them!”
Ellie nodded. Aaron had a tight mouth, but Diana was laid–back and talked to them about everything. If they asked her. Diana probably wouldn’t hide anything.
“Ellie, let Mrs. Thompson know I won’t be staying for dinner. Lacey said, glancing at her phone as yet another call from Layton came through, before heading out of the Thompson residence.
Over an hour later, inside the exclusive club at the Earl Hotel, Lacey pushed open the door to Layton’s private suite and
there was Alex.
