Ellen reached out her hand and picked up. Jaredâs phone for another glance. Sure enough, a message with a somewhat sad tone came in. âMr. Presgrave, I came from another country to invite you for a drink. Donât you feel sorry for ignoring me like this?â
After reading the message, she felt her heart wrench a little. This girl is pursuing Jared so aggressively.
Who is she?
When Jared came out of the shower, she was watching TV, so he approached her with some moisture on his body and pulled her into his arms. The fresh scent of the shampoo mixed with his masculine scent was enticing.
âPiggy,â he called her nickname as he kissed her. However, she could only look at him apologetically. âI accidentally saw a message. from a girl on your phone. She seems to be flirting with you. Do you want to explain?â
Startled, he quickly took his phone, and after reading the two messages, his expression became serious. âHer name is Hannie Quins, and sheâs the successor of a competing. company. Thereâs no need to pay attention to her.â
âIt seems like sheâs interested in you.â Ellen blinked. At that moment, Jared lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her cheek affectionately. âThe only woman in this world. who interests me is you.â
When she heard that, her heart melted, and the hint of jealousy that had just arisen in her disappeared upon his gentle and firm gaze. âI believe you. She snuggled into his arms. Heâs the person I trust the most in this world.
âNo matter what you see or hear, donât be pissed first. I will explain everything to you,â he said as he stroked her head. Although he couldnât control those outsiders, he knew that his heart would always firmly love her.
Warmth filled Ellenâs eyes as she nodded again. Suddenly, she hissed in pain as her lower abdomen ached again.
Immediately, Jared placed his warm palm on her lower abdomen, using his temperature to relieve her pain. His large palm was more effective than a heating pad.
After a while, she felt much better.
âItâs late already. Letâs go to bed.â After saying that, Jared reached out his hands and carried her with ease. âYouâre too skinny. You need to eat more at home during this time.â
Ellen protested, saying, âNo, I want to lose weight.â âYouâre not allowed to lose any more weight!â he commanded in a domineering tone. With a smile, she leaned into his arms. âAre you going to turn me into a piglet?â
âYes.â Jared didnât deny it. Ellen then lightly hit him and said, âIâll eat until you canât carry me anymore.â
âEven better,â he replied affectionately. When he placed her on the bed, a strong sense of restraint showed in his eyes. Three days later, a grand charity dinner was held in Averna, and Jared was planning to take Ellen there for some fun.
At the same time, Hannie had also received an invitation. Although she was not in her home country, her influence and connections were very extensive, especially in the business sector, where she had dedicated staff managing it for her.
