Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1841

Chapter 1841

Elated by the pleasant surprise, Ellen took a small bite of the meat. Its smooth yet juicy texture elicited a smile on her face. “It’s delicious.”

The duo enjoyed their dinner until 8.00PM, after which Jared gave her a ride back home. She alighted from the car and waved at him. “Be careful on your way back.”

He blinked at her as an acknowledgment. The control panel exuded faint blue light, which shrouded him in a glowing sheen with a touch of sophisticated grace.

Only when he left the place that she finally sent her address to Selena, who would arrive soon. Ellen wandered outside the neighborhood to buy some necessities. By the time Selena’s car halted at the entrance, Ellen happened to be there with a bag of daily necessities.

“You live here?” Selena scanned the area in disbelief because she was aware no ordinary people would be able to afford a house there. Never had she imagined that Ellen would be this rich after Jessica’s house was demolished.

“Yup, for the time being.” Ellen reciprocated.

Selena carried her luggage into the neighborhood when Ellen became curious about something. “Where are Uncle Connor and Aunt Olivia going? Is it something important?”

“Dad’s friend passed away, so they’ll be helping with the funeral for the next few days. I’m scared” Selena made up an excuse for herself. Since she had set her heart to approach Jared by leveraging Ellen, she put down her egoism

On the other hand, Ellen bought her lies without a shadow of a doubt since she did not know her family that well

When they arrived at the door to Ellen’s place, Selena wondered if the rental house comprised only one bedroom. However, her eyes widened in astonishment the second Ellen opened the door. She lives here? It’s huge and luxurious! And how is this a one-bedroom house? It stretches more than two hundred square feet!

“Ellen, how much is the monthly rent? The question escaped Selena almost instantly.

Ellen recalled the conversation she shared with Joanna, who told her not to reveal that employee welfare included accommodations, so she glossed it over. “About five thousand.”
