Chapter 213 Dog Dates and Drive Times

“How boring”

With that. Ellis sidestepped Morty.

After waving goodbye to Maya, she walked straight ahead. Unexpectedly, this time Morty followed her.

“It’s lonely walking by yourself, let me join you for a bit!

His words made her involuntarily glance back at him.

“Really idle!” she said, not bothering to hide her disdain. “Stop following me, it’s bad luck.”

“Me, bad luck?” Morty pointed at himself, feigning surprise.

Finished

“If you’re not bad luck, who is it’s like a dark, dirty thing clinging to me on this black night. Ellis was seriously annoyed, not just with Easton but all of them.

Being around them always seemed to bring nothing good.

Morty was silent for a moment. “I haven’t offended you recently, have I

Ellis didn’t respond, focusing straight ahead. At that moment, Maya barked a few times, but Ellis didn’t look back; instead, she put on her headphones and started playing her favorite songs, immersing herself in a faintly detached world, isolated from everything else.

Just as she was nearing the gated entrance to the villa area, fate seemed to frown on her, and a light rain began to fall.

Caught without an umbrella, the raindrops started to soak through her clothes.

Ellis quickly ran under a nearby awning to check her phone to see how long it would take for her ride–share to arrive.

Out of the comer of her eye, she noticed a man and a dog–Morty and Maya–entering her peripheral vision.

She looked up, somewhat perplexed. “Coming out here following me, you must be really bored”

Before she could finish, the light rain turned into a downpour, causing her to frown deeply.

The rain splashed up, wetting the bottom of her pants. She instinctively tried to move back, but there was a wall behind her, and the sheltered space under the awning was too narrow to fully escape the rain.

“Since I’m idle anyway, and you’re Maya’s godmother, it’s only right for me and Maya to walk you a bit, Morty said, gauging the rainfall. “You don’t have an umbrella or a car, and if you walk to the road from here, you’ll be soaked.”

“No need to point out the obvious.”

Ellis wanted to borrow an umbrella but couldn’t, so she pinned her hopes on the ride–share driver. Unfortunately, the driver was blocked by the storm and couldn’t make it, asking her to cancel the ride and order another.

“Shall I have my driver take you?”

While reordering the ride and hesitating over which car to choose, she heard Morty speak from above her. Originally thinking Morty was just aimlessly hanging around, upon hearing his offer, Ellis scrutinized him carefully. He strangely gave her a sense of unfamiliarity, especially with the gentle smile on his face at that moment.

Idle, not in the sense that he was a loafer, but that he appeared excessively unoccupied around her.

Then, Ellis saw Maya dash into the back seat of the car. What’s going on with this man and his dog!
