Chapter 1858
“What in the world happened? How did you get hurt?” Jared asked with a frown, but his hand movements were extremely gentle.
Ellen let him bandage her wound while explaining with a sigh, “Selena messed up my place on purpose before moving out. When I pulled her by the hair and asked her to apologize, she hit me with her bag. The cut on my arm was made by the metal on her bag.”
Jared felt incredibly sick at the thought of Selena. Why is Ellen always surrounded by such ill-bred relatives? “Did she apologize to you, then?” he asked.
Ellen shook her head, saying, “No, she didn’t.” Even so, she was glad to have taken action this time. Even though she got hurt as a result, she was at least not weak anymore.
Jared said, “Just stay away from these relatives as much as you can from now on.” After packing the first-aid kit, he began to help Ellen tidy the place.
Ellen was stunned for a few seconds. Is my boss tidying up the place for me? There’s no way I could be so lucky. “You don’t have to do this, President Presgrave. Let me do it instead.”
Jared stopped her just as she wanted to get up. “Sit there and don’t move.”
“I can do this. I’m totally fine.” Ellen still wanted to stand up and lend a hand.
The man had no choice but to come over and sit her down on the sofa with an authoritative look in his deep eyes. “Just be a good girl, okay?”
Stupefied, Ellen reclined on the sofa as if she had been rooted to the spot. Looking up at the man, she listened to him.
The man tidied up the place dexterously after finishing his speech.
Perhaps Selena wouldn’t have expected that Jared would be the one who tidied Ellen’s place after all the trouble she had taken to smash it up. Finding the broom and the mop in the storeroom, he cleared the broken pieces of ornament away from the floor. After that, he even went to the master bedroom.
Don’t tell me Selena even made a mess of my bed! thought Ellen. She hurried to the master bedroom. When she saw Jared making the bed and folding up the quilt for her, her pretty face instantly turned scarlet.
As it turned out, Selena didn’t mess up her bed; it was just that she had gotten up late in the morning and forgotten to fold up the quilt before she left for work. At this moment, seeing how the tall figure stood by her bed while folding up the quilt dexterously with his large hands, she felt incredibly embarrassed.
