Chapter 339 

As dinner 

drew to 

to a close. Ellie noticed that Alex had barely eaten anything. He only had a few drinks with Mark, 

“This is the restaurant’s signature dish, Mr. Warren. Give it a try? Ellie took the initiative to pick up some food and put it on Alex’s plate. 

Alex glanced at Ellie and finally ate something. 

By the time the four of them walked out of the restaurant, it was past nine o’clock. 

“Mr. Zhan looks very tired. Go back and have a good rest. Mark sensibly left with Lacry first. 

“Mark, my friend needs to see me. I’ve called a driver for you. You go home first” The two came to the car, and Lacey gave Mark the car keys. Mark clenched the car keys in his hand. He looked at Lacey and said gently. “Is it the friend who kept texting you during dinner?” 

Lacey nodded awkwardly. Tm sorry, Mark. My friend is in trouble, so I have to 

to go there 

“Is it Sebastian?” asked Mark 

Lacey’s gaze dodged, but she nodded. “He’s being stalked by reporters at a club. I’m really worried, so I want to pick him up “You are not worried about your husband going home alone after drinking?” Mark said to Lacey in this tone for the first time. The atmosphere became awkward instantly, and Lacey didn’t know what to say. 

Mark took Lacey’s hand and held it tightly, 

He looked into Lacey’s eyes and said to her w would you consider staying with me?” 

word by word, “Lacey, if I say that I didn’t marry you to please the elders, but simply because I love you, 

Their eyes met, a and Lacey’s mind went blank 

Mark said. “Lacey, if I say that after one year is up, I don’t want a divorce, that I married you simply because I wanted you to be my wife, would you consider not divorcing me 

“Mark, don’t joke with me like that. You know I love Sebastian” Lacey smiled awkwardly, breaking free from Mark’s hand. 

“Mark, the driver’s here. Go home first. I’ll be back soon.” Without waiting for a response, Lacey turned and left. 

Watching Lacey leave anxiously. Mark clutched the car keys tightly. He stood there for a long while and didn’t move. 

After Mark left, Ellie got ready to leave as well. “Mr. Warren, your chauffeur should be here soon. I’ll leave first.”

Late at night, the two walked side by side on the sidewalk. 

Alex had a superior height and figure. He was dressed in a black business suit, looking handsome and elegant

Ellie was dressed in a simple mix–and–match outht with a light–colored coat shoulders. She looked capabile yet gentle. 

The streetlights cast long shadows of the two, so beautiful that passersby couldn’t help but stop and look at them. 

“We haven’t met for half a month. Did you miss me?” Alex suddenly asked, and then Ellie stopped. 

Under the streetlight, the two looked at each other. Ellie was stunned by Alex’s question 

“I knew you would have this expression Alex looked down at Ellie. 

Ellie awkwardly fixed her hair that had been messed by the wind.

before Ellic could totally relax, Alex suddenly said. 

Alex’s hands were shoved into the pockets of his suit trousers. He leaned down slightly and looked into Ellie’s eyes. 

He chuckled and said, “What should I do, Dr. Thompson? I just can’t help 

missing you.” 

Elfie could hear her heart pounding in her chest. 

Alex was well–behaved tonight. He didn’t try to touch her and didn’t even ask her about dating again. 

He just stood in front of her, stared at her seriously and told her that he missed her, but she was touched more than ever. 

“Mr. Warren, we’re almost there” Ellic wanted to change the subject and tried to walk past Alex, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. 

He looked into her eyes and said. “Ellie, I’m waiting for your answer.” 

up at him. She was stunned by the emotions surging in his eyes. 

Held in Alex’s arms, Ellie looked up at 1 

Alex looked down at Ellie, and then his gaze slowly moved down to her lips. Then his eyes darkened. 

He tentatively lowered his head, and just as their lips were about to touch, Alex restrained himself from kissing her. 

He rested his forehead against Ellies and said, “I have some gifts for you. They’re in the car. I’ll give them to you tomorrow. 

“Let’s go Alex let go of Ellie and turned around first. 

Ellie stood still, in a daze. 

She patted her chest repeatedly and took deep breaths to calm herself down. 

Slar could handle Alex’s recklessness, playfulness, and even his dominance, but she was afraid of him like this. 

The subtle probing the veiled ambiguity, and the barely concealled desire 

They all made her involuntarily nervous and helpless. 

After composing herself, Ellie hurried to catch up. 

Seeing Ellie catching up. Alex looked down and similed at her without saying anything. 

They continued walking in silence until they got into the car. 

“Wake me up when we arrive. Alex adjusted his seat upon getting into the car and lay down. 

Ellie glanced at Alex, who was lying in the passenger seat, and remained silent. 

Half an hour later, 

er, the car parked in the parking lot downstairs in Building 7 of Zerikith. 

“Mr. Warren, Ellie pulled up the handbrake and turned to call Alex, only to find him sleeping soundly. Just then, Ellie’s phone rang. 

Seeing Barry’s number. Ellie hesitated and then answered th

Harry said, “Dr. Thompson, is Mr. Warren with you? I can’t get t

Harry said, “That’s good. Mr. Warren hasn’t sh

The call ended, and Elle locked at Alex, who was sleeping soutally in the passenger seat. She thought. So he had been working with his team on that project for three day’s without sleep. No wonder he let everyone go home to rest as soon as they got off the plane‘ 

“You still think you’re young? How could you attend the appointment when you were so exhausted? Ellie muttered. She unzipped a backrest in the back seat, took out the thin blanket inside, and covered Alex with it 

Ellie turned off the car, sat quietly, and looked at the dark night outside the window, feeling at a loss. 

The next morning, when Alex woke up in the car. Ellie was already go

Seeing Ellie’s thin blanket, Alex pondered. He rolled up the blanket and got out of the car with it.

Alex said, “Give me a few minutes. I’ll go upstairs and take a shower. 

More than 20 minutes later, Alex finished showering, changed into a suit, and then went straight to the company. 

It was past ten o’clock when Ellie received Alex’s call 

She thought Alex had just woken up. “Mr. Warren, just leave the car keys with the guard. I’ll get them after work.” 

Alex said, “I brought your car keys to the office this morning. I’ll drive your car to pick you up tonight. I have something for you.” 

Ellie couldn’t help frowning after hanging up the phone. She thought. He was so exhausted and hadn’t gotten enough rest yet, but he went to the office early in the morning again? He’s gonna kill himself
