NovelEnglishChapter 99 Chapter 99 76% The little garden under the apartment building was dark and cold in the dead of winter, but it couldn't compare to the chill in Ellie's heart.
Alex's defense of Haley had gotten to a point where he couldn't tell right from wrong. Ellie didn't want to get caught in an endless loop of self-justification and had no desire to explain anything more.
The two stared at each other in silence. Alex took off his coat, intending to put it on Ellie. Without thinking, she took a step back. His hand, meant to drape the coat over her, missed as he looked at her with eyes growing darker.

She never cared that I was just a poor girl from the countryside and wanted to be friends anyway. I even gave her the only thing I had-a man's necklace and she wouldn't accept it." Alex frowned, stepping closer to Ellic. "Where did you get a man's necklace from?" Seeing Alex's brows slowly knotting, Ellie looked away, her eyes reddening. That necklace was given to her by a boy she had recklessly tried to save when she was little.
Back then, she had been unconscious for a week after saving that boy, and when she woke up, he was nowhere to be found. Later, the necklace mysteriously disappeared.
If it weren't for her, her father wouldn't have lost a leg and been forced to live on constant medication. If it weren't for her, the Thompson family wouldn't have fallen into such terrible financial ruin. This was a pain she never wanted to talk about again in her life.
"Forget it," Ellie said weakly, brushing it off.
Alex frowned again. "Ellie, I don't want to argue with you. Since you said Haley was good to you back then, just apologize to her, and I'll pretend this whole thing never happened." Ellie looked at Alex with a self-mocking smile. Her tears accidentally slipped down as she laughed. She lifted the back of her hand to wipe them away, then wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
Staring into the distant darkness, Ellie said, "That day, when Haley toldshe liked Aaron, I was truly happy. I felt like we were really destined. Turning from long-tfriends into sisters-in-law, isn't that something to be envious of?" Her vision blurred again as she continued, "But even though you knew Haley was my brother's girlfriend, you forcedto help you pursue her. Although I was sad, I never blamed her.
"Alex, you know that shortly after you started pursuing Haley, she secretly went out on dates with you behind Aaron's back. At that point, they hadn't broken up yet. Do you really feel proud of taking Aaron's girlfriend?" "Ellie Thompson!" Alex's eyes turned red at the corners.
"You always look down on Aaron and me, making us a laughing stock and embarrassing us, Ellie said. "But did you know, Haley constantly made unreasonable demands of Aaron? "She wouldn't let him work part-tat places her parents went to often or intern at the district attorney's office. She forced him to give up his dreams that he had held for many years, all while keeping things unclear between her and you." Ellie touched a sensitive spot and lost control of her emotions.

"Since the day she started pursuing Aaron, she knew his dream was to beca respected prosecutor. She brushed him off. lied to him, and even when they broke up, she acted morally superior, blaming him for not sacrificing enough for her."
Ellie's blurry vision met Alex's eyes, her lips trembling. "If she wanted to O break up, she could have just said it O openly. There was really no need to be so horrible about it. Aaron isn't bound to her. "I've said so much, and if you still think she's spure and kind girl, then I've got nothing left to say."
"I know you look down on Aaron and me, but I've been living with you in over ten years Just your house for over tell me, and I'll stay far away from you. You really don't have to act this way," Ellie said, then she turned around crying and left without looking back, Alex stood there, gripping the coat in his hand, unable to tear his eyes away from Ellie's retreating figure for a long time.
