Ellen blushed when she heard his words. You are attractive! I just can’t bring myself to gawk at you. “I didn’t mean
that,” she mumbled. From her swift glance just now, she could tell that he had a well-built body.
“Why aren’t you taking a few more looks when you have the chance? Do you think I show my body every day to
others?” he poked fun at her, and she giggled. Still, she had her back against him. “No.”
Not giving her another chance, he headed into the attached bathroom in her bedroom half- naked. She blushed
embarrassedly again when she realized that he was using her bathroom, even when she had a guest bathroom at
her place. He clearly didn’t want to use the latter.
When Jared was showering, Ellen took her time to “school” the cat. Twenty minutes later, she heard the doorbell
ringing, and she opened the door with the cat in her arms. Stanley had arrived to deliver the fresh clothes.
“Miss Reiss, here are some clothes for Mr. Presgrave,” he explained and gave her a bag.

“No, no. I have something else to attend to.”
With that, he left Ellen’s place hurriedly. Interrupting the date between Mr. Presgrave and his beloved woman is
courting death.
Ellen walked to the living hall from the entrance with the bag of clothes in her hands. Her eyes widened again at the
sight of Jared wading out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Water was dripping from his hair. Droplets
clung to his body and accentuated the outlines of his muscles. His long legs could be seen beneath the towel, and
she could not help but wonder if the towel was the only garment on him.
While thinking, she handed him the bag with clothes as her face reddened. “Stanley sent you this.”
He smiled at walked into her bedroom. His back muscles were a work of art-his broad shoulders and narrow waist
were the epitome of the male form.
Ellen was flustered by the sight of a man’s half- naked body, which was a first for her. Even though she watched
enough half-naked men in movies, seeing one in real life was eye-opening and shocking.
She took a deep breath to calm down. Soon, she heard his footsteps from behind. Turning around, she saw him
emerge from her room in a casual outfit, looking clean and smart.
“Let’s go! I’ll bring you to dinner,” he said, feeling hungry. She let go of the cat and followed him out. At Connor’s
home, Olivia did not give him trouble when he arrived home. Not only that, she prepared dinner for him and waited
until 9.00PM. “You’re home. Have you eaten?”
Connor was still in a bad mood. After experiencing the warmth and care of his mistress, he was increasingly
annoyed by his wife, who was aggressive and loud.
“Let’s forget about the 750 thousand! Investment returns are never guaranteed anyway.” Olivia was no longer
hung up on the failed investment but added, “We are running low on cash! We still need to service the home
mortgage and your car loans. We can’t skimp on Lena’s dowry as well. But where should we get the money from?”

Connor understood what she was hinting at. He lit a cigarette and drew on it before saying, “I will meet with Young
Master Jared tomorrow and try to get some money from him.”
Olivia was glad to see that her husband had thought it through. She sat down beside him happily and agreed, “Yes.
Yes. I have the same thoughts. His family is wealthy. They could help us out.”
“I’ll see if I can bring this up! You shouldn’t go and meet them. You might mess things up.”
Olivia quickly agreed, “Sure. I won’t go.” However, she didn’t tell him that she had left a bad impression on Jared
earlier. Moreover, Connor should be the one to ask for money because he was Kevin’s uncle.
“Sigh! Our family has lived this comfortable life for a long time. What would we do without the money? It’s hard for
me to get a job at this age, and it’s the same for you. We can’t lower ourselves anymore,” she lamented, as
though. her remarks would inspire Connor.
Connor had been worrying over the same problem. After a few decades of living comfortably, he could not stand
the idea of working any job anymore. His only aspiration was to sit back, make investments and wait for the
returns.
