Chapter 1903
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1903
A certain man felt suffocated when he thought of what happened between Ellen and Lambert, but he
couldnât blame Ellen anymore.
Lambert was the one approaching her intentionally. Just like Jared, Lambert had all kinds of ways to
see her if he wanted to.
Her only fault is that she is too damn attractive, he lamented. âThere is something I donât know whom to
tell. Can I tell you?â Ellen asked the man sitting across from her.
âIâm all ears.â âI-I discovered something by accident last time. It is my uncleâs secret.â Ellen had been
keeping it to herself for too long and she couldnât wait to confide in him.
âWhat is it?â Jared was interested to know what she had to say.
âI think that my uncle has an illegitimate son and a mistress, but my aunt doesnât know about it. Ellen
then propped her chin on her palm and whined, âI thought my uncle was an honest and dependable
man. I was surprised when I found out he cheated. I canât brain this!â
He noticed Ellenâs disappointment in the opposite sex and he immediately frowned. âNot all men are
like that,â he quickly reminded her.
Her beautiful eyes suddenly shifted in his direction. âYou mean you wonât do something like this?â âOf
course!â He insisted solemnly. âI will only love one person. Iâll never betray or hurt my woman.â
He then added, âIâm talking about my feelings for you.â
Ellen froze for a few seconds. She didnât think Jared would so passionately confess his feelings and
reassure her just because she was thinking out loud for a bit.
âYea, youâre right.â She smiled. âI canât throw the whole basket of eggs just because I found one rotten
egg.â
âOf course.â Jared agreed completely with this. Hearing that, Ellen couldnât help but laugh. âYouâre
nervous, arenât you, President Presgrave!â
And he was rightfully so. He was worried she would think of him as someone who would cheat on her
just because of her uncle.
âDarling, donât think too much. Everyone is a different person.â He reached out and caressed her head.
Ellen was taken aback for a moment before she realized that she had been laying her emotions on him.
With a smile, she murmured, âAlright. I wonât think about it anymore.â
âEat your food. Iâll take you shopping after dinner.â
She nodded and obediently ate with him. When they were eating, she noticed that dinners for the
wealthy were unlike those of ordinary people. Instead of large portions, each plate of food was carefully
cultivated and prepared according to its nutritional value. Although the food came in different varieties,
the quantity was just right to fill someone up.
After eating, Jared took Ellen to a large shopping mall beside the hotel. His bodyguards were
shadowing them from a safe distance, and they kept in mind not to disturb their young masterâs love
affair.
Jared first brought Ellen to a large jewelry store, and he didnât even ask for her opinion as he picked out
some jewelry on the counter by himself.
She only watched him without saying anything. Iâll choose something with him. He might be getting a
present for someone. Right then, Jared saw a nice piece and he said to the attendant, âPlease show
me this one.â
The attendant felt her heartbeat speed up the moment she met his eyes. She quickly went to get the
necklace he wanted while also taking out a tray. Jared placed it on his palm to take a good look at it
first before he turned to Ellen. âTry it.â
She blinked a few times and immediately scooped her long hair to the side. Jared then put the
necklace around her neck. Although the necklace was not very expensive, its design was simple and
elegant. It was just right for a young lady.
He scrutinized her with narrowed eyes for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. After he took off the
necklace, he informed the attendant, âIâll take this one.â
At that point, Ellen was even more sure that it was a gift. Since he asked me to try it on, is he going to
give it to a young lady? Itâs a fashionable necklace, after all.
She followed Jared when she saw him walking forward again. It wasnât long before he saw another one
and asked the attendant to show it to him. He tried it on Ellenâs neck again. âThis one, too.â
