Earlier at the hospital, Nancy had sensed a shift in Ellie’s demeanor. The collness that since defined their interactions seemed to have softened For vears ago. Naury had made sure to erase all memories of Ellie from Alex’s mind. 

He now saw Ellie as a widow who had lost her space. And yet, here they were, Alex, drawn to Ellie once again as if fate itself had orchestrated their 

As a mother, Nancy could only hope that this new chapter would be as sweet as the smile she had just seen on Alex’s face. 

Meanwhile, at the mall. “Why did we stop!” Alex asked, pausing in front of a men’s underwear store. Ellie stared at the exaggerated mannequins in the window, refusing to step inside. 

“Last step. I promise. After this, we’ll grab dinner,” Alex said, patting his chest confidently 

Ellie shook her head. They had been shopping since 3 pm, and it was now 6 pm. Alex had made the same promise multiple times, even making her pick out socks for hinu

“Come on, just two more items.” Alex said, dragging her into the store despite her protests. Reluctantly, Ellie closed her eyes and randomly picked out thirty pairs of men’s underwear before Alex finally let her leave 

“This way” As soon as they stepped out of the store, Alex grabbed her hand and pulled her toward another section of the mall. 

What do you think of this bracelet?” Alex asked, stopping at a jewelry counter and picking up a diamond–studded piece. 

He reached for Elbe’s hand to try it on, but she quickly pulled away “Mr. Warren, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it 

T1 pay for it,” Alex said, subtly guiding her to sit on a high stool in front of the counter. 

Carren. It’s not about the price. It’s the meaning behind it. I’m a doctor. I don’t wear things like this,” Ellie insisted. 

Till buy Mr. Warren dinner, Ellie said, pulling her hand away forcefully and heading towards the elevator. A flicker of disappointment flashed in 

Alex’s ryer 

“Your girlfriend is so beautiful,” the saleswoman said, trying to salvage the sale. This year, it’s trendy to give your girlfriend a lucky charm bracelet for protection and good fortune. Would you like to pick one out! 

She showed Alexa selection of red string bracelets with gold, cinnabar, and gemstone charms. Alex glanced at them, unimpressed 

His eyes landed on an olive–shaped solitaire diamond in the display case. “Can you make a bracelet with this?” 

The sales staff was stunned. They had never seen sometne request a multi–million–dollar diamond to be strung on a cheap red cord 

“Sir, thus dumond is a sur–of–a–kind paror designed by Ella. It’s already been reserved,” one of the saleswomen explained. 

“Ill pay double Just make it quick, and use a red string,” Alex said, glancing Isack at Ellie’s retreating figure.

Juss play along and say you’re my girlfriend, Alex whispered to Ellie, pulling away, but Alex 

her close. Ellie tried to pulled his grips 

Til you explain it yourself. I’m tired, so Heave you two to chat, Ellie muttered under her breath. 

“Three minutes to get rid of her, or I’ll make you shop with me for five more hours. Your choice,” Alex said,

Ellie sighed internally “Mr. Warren, who is this?” she asked, playing along 

Quinler’s face fell as she watched Alex whisper to Ellie. 

“Let me introdure you. This is my girlfriend,” Alex said, ignoring Ellie’s protests and introducing her to his former blind date. 

Quinlee stared at Ellie in disbelief “Mr. Warren, you can’t be serious. Our date was just a few weeks ago. 

Tve been his girlfriend for years, Ellie said, clearing her throat and forcing a smile. If it meant avoiding five more hours of shopping, she’d play along for three minutes. 

“If you’re his girlfriend, why did he go on a date with me?” Quinlee asked, clearly unwilling to accept the truth. 

Ellie leaned in and whispered, “Because he’s a player. He loves pretending to be different people and dating multiple women. It’s not just about money or looks–he could give you an STD.” Quinlee’s face turned pale. 

Before Ellie could say more. Alex pulled her back and, in front of everyone, kissed her on the corner of her mouth. 

“Even if I’m a player, I only play with you, you heartless woman, Alex said, smirking as he led Ellie away, leaving Quinlee stunned. 

Ellie was still in a daze even after they stepped into the elevator. Alex fust took advantage of me! Big time! she thought, her mind reeling. She felt like she’d just lost her wallet–completely off–balance and unsettled. 

Alex was buzzing with energy. He pushed, pulled, tugged, and even wrapped an arm around her as they walked, steering her with an almost manic enthuncam Ellie barely had time to process what was happening before he whisked her into a high–end restaurant. 

Soft musar played in the background, and the air was filled with the scent of roses. They sat across from each other, and Ellie’s frown deepened as she realized they were in a couples themed high–end restaurant. 

The water served their meals and left. Alex swapped las plate of cut steak with Ellie’s. “It was just a kiss for show. No need to look so upset.” 

Ellie looked down at the perfectly cut steak, her expression softening slightly. She took a deep breath and picked up her fork. She had promised to thank him, and she’d already bought him a suit. One meal, and she’d be done. 

Alex’s deep, intense eyes locked onto Ellie’s lips, which still glistened from the juice she had just drunk. He watched the remnants of the juice at the corner of her mouth, his Adam’s apple bobbing uncontrollably, 

He leaned in to wipe her mouth, but Elle urned her head away. “I can do it myself,” she said, reaching for the napkin. 

Alex caught her hand, his eyes filled with unreadable emotion. “Til rather use another method to clean it up,” he said, his voice low and teasing.
