Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1899

Chapter 1899

Jared’s chest rose and fell erratically after he went through the article. This made his heart palpitate even more than the workout he just did. Why was Ellen with Lambert? What were they doing at the hospital?

It irked him to see Ellen and Lambert looking at each other smilingly in one of the photos. He got jealous every time she smiled at a man who wasn’t him.

To understand what exactly happened, Jared gave Ellen a call without any hesitation. He was someone who didn’t like to drag matters out. If he had any questions, he would ask them on the spot.

Ellen was sprawled out on her couch reading a book when she heard her phone’s ringtone go off. She swiftly took a glance at it. Jared? she wondered. Why is he calling me?

“Hi, President Presgrave!” Out of habit, she called him like an employee would their superior.

“Where did you go today? You told me this morning that you don’t have time in the afternoon. Were you with someone?” The man was in full-on interrogation mode.

She was taken aback for a second, but she soon replied truthfully, “I went to my uncle’s birthday banquet in the afternoon. I came home not long ago.” “Are you sure you only went to the birthday banquet? You weren’t with other men?”

Of course, Ellen didn’t take her being with Lambert too seriously, so she replied without thinking, “Nope!” “Ellen…” Jared’s voice sank as he growled, “I don’t like being lied to.”

She only blinked. She didn’t understand why he suddenly grew serious. I… I’m not lying. I only went to my uncle’s birthday banquet this afternoon.

“Then what’s with your rendezvous with Lambert? You even went to the hospital together? Why didn’t you get me to go with you if you weren’t feeling well?” He finally couldn’t stop his jealousy from showing.

It was only then that a lightbulb went off for Ellen. She was equally taken aback as well. “H- How did you know that Lambert and I went to the hospital?”
