Chapter 66 Midnight Intrusion
Finished
Ellis clearly remembered locking the door as soon as she got home from work. So, how did that lousy guy manage to get in?
A slight thrill of horror spread at the bottom of her heart, causing her to sit up in bed in an instant, staring incredulously at the man beside her. “Why are you in my house? How did you get in?”
“Opening a door isn’t hard. is it?”
“What do you want?” Ellis felt a chill crawl up her scalp.
In the dead of night, anyone would be terrified to find someone breaking into their home, especially when sleeping soundly. Although the intruder was Easton, not some vile criminal, his grim expression was still unsettling.
“Give me your phone.” Easton reached out his hand.
Ellis frowned.
Without waiting for her to act, Easton reached under her pillow as if he knew exactly where to look. Seeing her phone being taken, she tried to snatch it back while scolding. “In the middle of the night, you don’t sleep but come here to steal my phone? Are you full?”
Easton held the phone just out of reach and entered the unlock code.
Unexpectedly, the screen indicated the password was incorrect. His gaze shifted back to her, clearly annoyed. “Changed your password?
Unable to retrieve her phone, Ellis glared at Easton and then turned her face away. “None of your business!”
When blindly in love, you really want to make everything about the other person. She used to set all her passwords to Easton’s birthday, and he always knew her habit, even mocked her for being childish.
No longer in love with Easton, she definitely had to change her passwords! He probably didn’t like her answer, his lips pressed into a thin line.
“Tell me the new password“”
His tone was imperious, infuriating her. “Are you insane? Breaking into my house in the middle of the night and stealing my phone, what the hell do you want?”
Before she could finish, Easton was already tapping on the keypad again, waiting for her to reveal the new password. Then, as if struck by a thought, he grabbed her right hand.
Caught off guard, he quickly squeezed her right thumb onto the screen.
The fingerprint was successfully scanned, unlocking the phone. Right under her nose, he opened her WhatsApp.
Glancing at her WhatsApp homepage, Ellis vaguely guessed his motive, yet it seemed too far–fetched. Only when Easton opened her WhatsApp blacklist, found his account, quickly removed it, and sent a friend request did the bizarre truth hit her. All this just to remove himself from a blacklist?
He must be the only one in the world who’d break into someone’s house in the middle of the night just to do that! Speechless, she didn’t know what to say or how to react, rubbing her forehead in frustration.
After everything, Easton loomed over her. “Ellist
Just two days ago, he warned her not to cheat, and tonight he had frightened her again.
Cant he find something productive to do, like rushing to the Civil Affairs Department with me to get a divorce certificate, instead of formenting me?
His voice, usually pleasant and deep, carried a hint of anger in the quiet of the night, sounding rather ominous.
