Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1937

Chapter 1937

When Corey heard that, he immediately ran inside the living room. “Ellen’s injured and requires ample rest, so she has decided to stay at my place for a couple of days. Mr. Presgrave, please leave,” Lambert said with his arms crossed.

“She’s my girlfriend. I’ll take care of her,” Jared retorted coldly. He did not need anyone else to take care of his girlfriend.

In the meantime, Corey patted Ellen’s cheek, which surprised her so much that her eyes widened in shock. Then, he quickly shushed her. “You’re Miss Reiss, right? Something’s gone wrong, and someone came to find you.”

“Who?” “It’s Mr. Presgrave. He’s having a face-off with Lambert outside!”

Ellen was stunned as she did not expect Jared would find her hideout. She then stood up while supporting herself on the couch and left the living room. In the meantime, Corey, being an avid drama-watcher, followed behind her for some gossip.

Showing herself at the door, she was hit by the afternoon sun and was dazed for a while before using her hand to block the sunlight. “Ellen,” Jared exclaimed in surprise as he felt relieved to see her in one piece.

At the same time, Lambert turned around to look at her. The sunlight shining on her made her look frail, and her long black hair was tackled by the breeze, revealing her pale face. Overall, she resembled a shaky wisp of smoke that would disappear at any moment.

Instantly, her appearance evoked distress from the two men. “Ellen, I came to pick you up.” Jared’s tone was exceptionally gentle.

She merely glanced at him and shook her head but could not hold back her emotion once again, shocking the men as tears began streaming down her face. It was then that Lambert became more certain that Jared had hurt her in some way for her to be so emotionally hurt.

When she looked up at them with teary eyes, she looked pitiful yet resilient. “I’m not leaving with you, nor am I coming back to you. Just leave!” She made it clear to Jared while standing beside Lambert.

Within seconds, the contrast in mood became evident between the two men. One was hurt while one was surprised.
