“That’s great, praised Jared earnestly as he looked over at her. Ellen was glad to hear that, but she replied humbly,
“Thank you, I’ll continue to treat my hobby as my career and further develop it.”
“You have my support.” He then looked at her with a deep gaze. “I’ll support you in whatever you do in the future.”
Ellen blushed upon hearing that; she wasn’t sure whether he was offering support as a friend or as someone
beyond that. “Why did you post such a comment on social media?” Ellen asked. “I’m speaking the truth. Is there
anything wrong. with it?”
“But we…”
“Do you think that you aren’t my girlfriend anymore just because we have been separated for a year? We haven’t
officially broken up, you know.” Jared spoke in displeasure.
Ellen’s face flushed red and became hot instantly when she heard his remarks. She wound the car window down to

Upon hearing her reply, Jared smiled since it was the answer he wanted from her. “What about you? Have you been
in contact with any guys in the past year?”
Jared started fussing about it since he wanted to know how she felt about him. “Nope.” She shook her head. ‘Did
anyone try courting you?” he asked again.
This time round, she didn’t shake her head but replied honestly, “Yeah, but I rejected his advances.” “In the future,
you should announce that you are taken. Jared scoffed, still feeling jealous about it. “Don’t be so domineering!” She
chuckled.
“Do you blame me for not looking for you the past year?” he asked again. “I don’t.” She shook her head. After all,
she had written to Jared and told him not to look for her to give her some space and freedom.
“I knew that you’d be back. I had a feeling that you’d return for sure.’ He revealed to her his thoughts in the past
year. The reason he didn’t go looking for her was that he was waiting for her to return.
Tears welled up in her eyes upon hearing that. Does he really think that way? “After dinner, I’ll bring you
somewhere. You’ll love it.” “Where is it?” she asked curiously. “You’ll find out later on.”
As soon as they reached the upscale steakhouse, which was Ellen’s favorite restaurant, she told him about the
house she had gotten in town. It came with a garden, which was how she imagined her dream house to be
“If there’s a chance, I’d like to go take a look. Perhaps I’ll even stay a few nights there.” He was already looking
forward to it. “Sure!” She welcomed the idea.
It was only 8.30PM when their dinner ended. Following that, Jared drove Ellen in his car. The further they drove, the
more familiar her surroundings looked.
Isn’t this where my house used to be? She even remembered that she had deliberately come over to look at it once
before. “Why are you taking me here?”

“Take a guess.” He smiled.
However, nothing came to mind, so she could only wait for him to bring her there. As soon as Jared parked his car
at a luxurious car park, he asked her to get out of the car. Then, the both. of them took the elevator before heading
over to the penthouse.
“Did you move here?” she asked. After Jared opened the door, he stretched his hand out and made a welcoming
gesture. ‘I designed this place, especially for you.”
Upon walking into the unit, Ellen was shocked. As she looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she noticed
the dazzling city lights and realized that she was within the central location of New Town.
After giving it some thought, she looked up and asked, “No way. Is this location where my house used to be?”
“You’re right. This is where your house used to be, so I built you a house in the same spot. Do you like it?” he asked
earnestly.
She was overwhelmed by emotions upon hearing that. The next moment, she walked toward him and wrapped her
arms around his waist before burying her face in his chest.
She couldn’t find the words to express herself. With that, Jared tightened his embrace around her and planted a kiss
on the top of her head as he relished the long-awaited hug.
