Chapter 1958

As Selena had found out that Ellen lived alone, scaring her was a fatal move. She planned to continue sending people to harass

Ellen at night, rendering her unable to live in peace by keeping her on high alert at all times.

In the end, he decided to knock on her door, and he soon heard footsteps inside. Instantly, the door opened to reveal Ellen with her

hair down and her forehead coated in a cold sweat, standing by the doorway with an ashen face. From the looks of it, it was clear

that she had not slept well at all.

“What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” he asked in concern. Ellen nodded and apologized, “Yeah. | don't think | can go

jogging today. | want to rest a bit. longer. Is that all right?”

Ellen gently nodded, not intending to tell him what she encountered last night as she felt that he already had enough work to deal

with every day.

After she went back to sleep, she felt much more reinvigorated when she reawakened at eleven o'clock. Subsequently, she deleted

the pictures from her phone.

In the afternoon, Jared headed to the company while she stayed at home, leisurely spending her ttaking care of the cat and

plants. Every afternoon at three, Jared would order a different set of afternoon tea desserts for her accompanied by a gift box,

satisfying her taste buds while also giving her a new surprise each day.

When night fell, he took her out for dinner at a restaurant nearby. “Tell me, what nightmare did you have last night?” Jared asked

worriedly, wondering what she dreamed of that sent her breaking into a cold sweat.

“Nothing, | just thought of something scary,” Ellen lied, not wanting to bring up the grotesque pictures to him on such a romantic

night.

Keenly sensing that something was off about her, Jared handed her a glass of water and asked, “What's wrong? Do you feel sick?”

As she had expected, she was unable to continue eating after looking at the plates of meat and ended her meal with only

vegetables.

After dinner, Jared took her home, and the two watched documentaries on the couch in the living room. Ellen enjoyed watching

historical documentaries, and so did Jared. But right now, he wasn’t paying attention to the television screen.

He stood up and got himself a glass of tea, and upon taking his seat again, he sat next to Ellen and naturally draped his long arm

over her shoulders.

Sensing his intentions, she shifted her posture and allowed his arm to slide down her shoulder and wrap around her waist. At this,

Jared did not have the guts to take a step further and was satisfied by letting her watch the documentary in his arms.

Before they realized it, it was already eleven. Recalling that he still had heaps of work to deal with the next day, Ellen decided not

to take up any more of his tand said, “It’s late. Let's head upstairs to sleep!”

“Okay.” Jared nodded before adding, “Just ctoif you have any nightmares.” Ellen blinked and asked, “Really? Any time?”

“Of course!” Jared's lips curled into a smile. He didn’t mind holding her while he slept at all.
