Ellen blushed when she heard his words. You are attractive! I just can’t bring myself to gawk at you. “I


    didn’t mean that,” she mumbled. From her swift nce just now, she could tell that he had a well-built


    body.


    “Why aren’t you taking a few more looks when you have the chance? Do you think I show my body


    every day to others?” he poked fun at her, and she giggled. Still, she had her back against him. “No.”


    Not giving her another chance, he headed into the attached bathroom in her bedroom half- naked. She


    blushed embarrassedly again when she realized that he was using her bathroom, even when she had


    a guest bathroom at her ce. He clearly didn’t want to use thetter.


    When Jared was showering, Ellen took her time to “school” the cat. Twenty minutester, she heard the


    doorbell ringing, and she opened the door with the cat in her arms. Stanley had arrived to deliver the


    fresh clothes.


    “Miss Reiss, here are some clothes for Mr. Presgrave,” he exined and gave her a bag.


    “Stanley, Sure. I’ll hand it to him, do you want toe in?” She smiled at him. He quickly waved at her


    and said, “No, no. I have something else to attend to.”


    With that, he left Ellen’s ce hurriedly. Interrupting the date between Mr. Presgrave and his beloved


    woman is courting death.


    Ellen walked to the living hall from the entrance with the bag of clothes in her hands. Her eyes widened


    again at the sight of Jared wading out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Water was dripping


    from his hair. Droplets clung to his body and entuated the outlines of his muscles. His long legs


    could be seen beneath the towel, and she could not help but wonder if the towel was the only garment


    on him.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    While thinking, she handed him the bag with clothes as her face reddened. “Stanley sent you this.”


    He smiled at walked into her bedroom. His back muscles were a work of art-his broad shoulders and


    narrow waist were the epitome of the male form.


    Ellen was flustered by the sight of a man’s half- naked body, which was a first for her. Even though she


    watched enough half-naked men in movies, seeing one in real life was eye-opening and shocking.


    She took a deep breath to calm down. Soon, she heard his footsteps from behind. Turning around, she


    saw him emerge from her room in a casual outfit, looking clean and smart.


    “Let’s go! I’ll bring you to dinner,” he said, feeling hungry. She let go of the cat and followed him out. At


    Connor’s home, Olivia did not give him trouble when he arrived home. Not only that, she prepared


    dinner for him and waited until 9.00PM. “You’re home. Have you eaten?”


    Connor was still in a bad mood. After experiencing the warmth and care of his mistress, he was


    increasingly annoyed by his wife, who was aggressive and loud.


    “Let’s forget about the 750 thousand! Investment returns are never guaranteed anyway.” Olivia was no


    longer hung up on the failed investment but added, “We are running low on cash! We still need to


    service the home mortgage and your car loans. We can’t skimp on Lena’s dowry as well. But where


    should we get the money from?”


    Connor understood what she was hinting at. He lit a cigarette and drew on it before saying, “I will meet


    with Young Master Jared tomorrow and try to get some money from him.”


    Olivia was d to see that her husband had thought it through. She sat down beside him happily and


    agreed, “Yes. Yes. I have the same thoughts. His family is wealthy. They could help us out.”


    “I’ll see if I can bring this up! You shouldn’t go and meet them. You might mess things up.”


    Olivia quickly agreed, “Sure. I won’t go.” However, she didn’t tell him that she had left a bad impression


    on Jared earlier. Moreover, Connor should be the one to ask for money because he was Kevin’s uncle.


    “Sigh! Our family has lived thisfortable life for a long time. What would we do without the money?


    It’s hard for me to get a job at this age, and it’s the same for you. We can’t lower ourselves anymore,”


    shemented, as though. her remarks would inspire Connor.


    Connor had been worrying over the same problem. After a few decades of livingfortably, he could


    not stand the idea of working any job anymore. His only aspiration was to sit back, make investments


    and wait for the returns.
