Chapter 345 

Alex’s words scared Ellie so much that she let him hold her and take advantage without moving a muscle. 

Once the danger was gone, they exited through the back door of the supermarket. To stay sa

tre those people chasing you! Do you know anything about them?” Alex asked, rolling down half the window. 

He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and rested his hand on the window frame 

“They re probably with the group that tried to kill Onon.” Ellie said, still breathing heavily from the scare. 

Alex exhaled slowly, turned his head to look at Ellie. “Orion? 

Ellie nodded. “Thad a past with Quinlee. Back when Quinlee stayed with Orion, it was to help an international drug ring steal secret medical data. 

She continued. “After Quinlee’s mission failed, they killed her to cover it up. She must’ve given them my into before she died to get revenge on me. Orion’s been hiding in the hospital, so they had to go after me.” 

“Quinlee’s after you!” Alex’s eyes darkened, and he flicked the cigarette out the window, rolling it back up. 

Lilie added. “Quinler’s also Haley. 

ley. She’s always wanted to get revenge on me. I heard that although the drug lords are behind bars, the one calling the shots has a brother called Leon, he’s hiding in Drolace and is pulling the strings.” 

Alex stared at Ellie, lost in thought. 

‘Haley again! Could it be that during my time in jail, I really forgot something important? He looked at Ellie, falling silent. 

An hour later, Alex dropped Ellie off at her place and went to the family house. He told his parents about his suspicions. 

“You’re over thirty, how would I know which woman you’re seeing“” 

Nancy looked away, raising her voice. 

“Well, if you don’t know, just admit it. You’re getting old, stop acting so grumpy.” Alex said, half–skeptical as he ti 

He walked into the kitchen, smelling something. “Nancy, who’s this soup for?”

tugged on his ear. 

grown man, he shouldn’t be drinking this. This soup is for women!” Alex grinned, pouring the whole pot into a big thermos. 

Nancy realized what he meant and quickly grabbed the thermos. “Alex, are you seeing someone!” 

Alex, watching Nancy’s skeptical face, nodded smugly. “When you have time, bring her over. Let us meet her” 

Nancy, looking at Alex’s serious expression, rubbed her hands in excitement. 

“Nancy, with your temper, you might scare her off. Let me finish up my work first,” Alex said, trying to avoid the conversation as he grabbed the thermos and left the kitchen 

He thought. If she knows the woman I’m seeing is a young widow with two kids, she’d cause a commotion, even if she doesn’t slap him. I have a lot on my plate, so I need to figure out how to deal with it? 

rang the doorbell. Seeing Alex on the camera, Ellie hesitated before not 

That evening, after Ellie took a shower and was about to sleep, someone ra opening the door. 

After more than a minute, her phone rang. 

It was a message frum Alex. || know you’re awake, Open the door || 

Thinking about what Alex had put her through since last night, Ellie frowned. She stood at the door, but still didn’t open it. 

Then another message came. I found some leads on those people. Don’t you want to know?] 

After reading the message, Ellie finally opened the door. 

“Do you have any sense of contract?” Alex said, holding a large thermos as he stepped inside and pulled Ellie into the dining room.

“What did you find out!” Ellie couldn’t help but ask 

Alex took out the leftovers, unscrewed the thermos, and served a bowl of chicken soup. “You took too long to open the door, I forgot.” 

Ellie turned to leave the dining room, but Alex pressed her down into the chair. “You worked hard last night. I made this soup for you, try it. 

Alex sat next to Ellie and tried to feed her with a spoon 

Ellie looked at the soup. She immediately remembered that it was the soup she had seen in Orion’s room before. 

Alex noticed her hesitation but continued. “You really think I’m just going to use you and not care about you!” 

They locked eyes, and Ellie opened her mouth to take the soup. 

“Til drink it myself.” Ellie took the spoon from Alex’s hand 

Watching Ellie drink the soup. Alex’s lips curled into a smile. He leaned in closer, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist. “I changed the bed sheets. Let’s stay at my place tonight.” 

*Cough, cough cough.” Ellie almost choked 

“Why are you reacting like thar Alex gently rubbed her back. 

Ellie put down the spoon, avoiding his gaze. Five years ago, she knew he had a big appetite, especially when it came to those things. 

Clearing her throat, Ellie gave him a pitiful look. 

Alex said. “Stop giving me those seductive looks, or I might lose control” 

Ellie said, “Im not feeling
