Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2205

“Yes, I’m giving up.” Ellen nodded. She now realized that fame was exhausting and being herself in her quiet corner of the world was the better option instead.

“Miss Reiss, did you run into any trouble? It’s okay, we can solve it for you.” Miss Lane persisted. Ellen was in the spotlight now, and an interview with her would definitely raise their ratings.

“I’m fine, but I personally don’t like interviews. Thank you, and goodbye.” With that, Ellen didn’t give Miss Lane any more chances to convince her.

When she put down the phone, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, and the man gazed at her in approval. He was surprised that despite her young age, she had resisted the temptation of reputation and popularity. This was considered quite a feat already.

“Why don’t you want more fame?” he asked. “I don’t want to live under the attention of others. I just want to stay with you and live the rest of our lives in peace,” Ellen answered honestly.

She was already exhausted from the fighting and chaos outside. Simple, clean social circles. and connections were the best for her. Meanwhile, in Connor’s home, they could only sit around restlessly since Ellen refused to help them.

They couldn’t contact Ellen again, and they didn’t even manage to get her number. Moreover, the team had left Averna as well. “Why are you so useless?!” Olivia shouted.

Just then, Connor’s phone rang. Connor glanced at it but didn’t dare pick it up. Olivia thought it was a call from Ellen, who decided to have mercy on their daughter. “Why aren’t you picking it up?” she asked.

Connor gripped his phone in slight nervousness, but he stubbornly refused to answer. Seeing that, Olivia reached out to grab his phone. Connor didn’t think she would try to snatch it, so he became even more panicked and started fighting back. Suddenly, a boy’s voice cut through the air.

Olivia immediately froze in her attempt to grab the phone, while a strong look of panic colored Connor’s face. Connor hastily ended the call, not daring to look at his wife.
