Chapter 1915
“What?” Before Ellen could react, Jared held her cheeks in his hands and kissed her lightly on the lips. He then let
go of her face and purred, “I prefer such a way of expressing your gratitude”
Ellen’s face immediately flushed red. Just as Jared was about to leave, she summoned her courage and wrapped
her arms around his neck in the spur of the moment. Going up on her toes, she gave him a peck on the cheek.
Jared’s eyes shone with happiness. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“I’m going on leave tomorrow,” Ellen responded as she blinked. That reminded Jared of her leave. With his eyes
narrowed, he asked, “Why do you need a day off?”
“Tomorrow is my brother’s death anniversary. I’m going to visit his grave, Ellen answered. honestly.
“I’m free tomorrow. I’ll go with you!” Jared immediately offered, effectively startling Ellen.. “Do you really want to
go with me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes. I’ll go with you.’ Jared nodded and continued, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Will that disrupt your work?’ she asked quickly. “Of course not!” He had decided that he would accompany her
tomorrow since he didn’t want to miss such an important day for her.
“Okay. See you tomorrow, then.” Ellen was elated that Jared would be going with her to visit her brother.
She was the only one visiting Kevin’s grave all these years and had even planned to ask her future children-if she
had any-to remember to visit Kevin’s grave every year as well.
Kevin’s grave was in a different place than her parent’s graves. Hence, Ellen would visit two different cemeteries
every year. Starting next year, she would also have to visit her grandmother’s grave.
After entering the house and shutting the door, Ellen took a deep breath. Despite all the unhappy events that
happened today, she had thought things through.
There weren’t so many things in the world that were worthy of her being depressed about. She had to live her life
well and focus on loving those who deserved it, including herself.
At 9.30PM, Olivia was watching television alone in Connor’s house. This was her usual routine and she normally

this but after learning that Connor needed to socialize for the sake of his investments, she no longer took it as an
issue.
Now that her daughter had brought it up, she felt particularly uneasy tonight. Thus, she took her phone and gave
her husband a call.
“Hello, Olivia!” Connor said cheerfully on the other end of the line. “Why haven’t you returned yet? It’s late,” she
grumbled. “Go to bed first. I will be late.”
“Connor, I’m warning you, don’t even think about messing around outside! You’ll perish in my hands, Olivia
reminded him sternly.
He began coaxing Olivia in response. “Do you not trust me? Of course, I would never do such a thing!”
Connor was good at nothing except pacifying his wife. Indeed, after he finished his sentence, Olivia felt that she was

“Okay. I’ll be right back.” He then hung up the call after successfully pacifying her.
Truth was, he was in his other house at the moment. After he ended the call, his lover appeared, carrying his son.
‘You can’t go back early. Your son needs you!” she said begrudgingly.
“Don’t leave, Daddy. You always leave me here.” Connor’s son hugged his legs, refusing to let him go.
“Okay, okay. I’m not leaving and will stay by your side.” Connor would leave after his son fell asleep every night to
give the impression that he was always in the house.
However, his son refused to sleep. It was only until 11.30PM that Connor managed to return to his first home from
his second home.
Meanwhile, Olivia was getting bored waiting for him. Hence, she began to go through her. jewelry. Looking at the
diamond ring Connor had recently bought for her birthday, she felt overjoyed. It won’t be safe for me to wear this,
so I should just sell it for some extra cash!
With this, Olivia decided to sell the ring the next day and spend the money at a beauty salon. Connor had always
considered beauty salons a waste of money, so she could only go there secretly with her own money.
