Chapter 1953
When the movie came to an end, Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was hinted at the end of the movie that there was an Easter egg. Ellen wanted to wait for it, but the man took her hand and dragged her away.
“Hey… There’s still an Easter egg in the movie!” The man dragged Ellen out of the theater without a pause. She couldn’t help but break free of his grasp, asking, ‘Let go of me, okay?”
“Haven’t you had enough of watching the movie?” Jared asked grumpily.
“I-I’m going to the restroom!” Ellen blinked her eyes, confused as to why Jared had lost his temper all of a sudden. Is he not even gonna let me use the restroom?
Jared relaxed his grip on her hand. As she went to the restroom, he stood in the hallway and became the subject of discussion among the ladies passing by. A few ladies even purposely stood there just to peep at him. After all, this was their first time seeing a man in real life who looked just like one of those wealthy scions in the movies!
Just then, Ellen came out of the restroom. Jared immediately wrapped his arm around her and left.
“He’s got a girlfriend!”
“That lady’s so lucky to be his girlfriend!”
Ellen happened to hear this. After being startled for a moment, she started feeling somewhat bashful.
As soon as they stepped out of the theater, Ellen’s phone rang. She picked it up and took a look at it, only to see that it was a phone call from Connor.
Jared noticed it as well. He patted her on the shoulder, saying, “Just answer the phone and get back what’s supposed to be yours.” Ellen answered the phone. “Hello.”
“Ellie, it’s me, your Uncle Connor. I finally collected enough money to give you by selling my house and my car. Say, when are you free? Let’s meet up.”
“I’m free right now.” “Okay, you decide on the place, then. We’ll sit down and talk.”
Seeing that the theater wasn’t far from Connor’s house, Ellen replied, “Okay, I’m waiting for you at the mall. I’ll send you the address.”
