Lambert countered with a frown, “Would anyone snatch a person like you do, Young Master Jared? Miss Reiss is my
guest, and she has yet to say she wants to leave!”
Caught between the two men, Ellen found herself at a momentary loss for what to do. “Pack your stuff, Ellen. We’re
leaving now,” Jared whispered to her beside him.
Ellen broke free of his grasp before saying to Lambert, “Mr. Orey, thank you for putting me up last night. I’ll stop
bothering you after this.”
“What? You’re leaving for real?!” Lambert asked reluctantly. “I have something else to deal with, so I shan’t bother
you anymore,” Ellen said to him.
‘It’s nothing! We’re friends, after all,” Lambert replied with a chuckle just to spite a certain someone. “Uh-huh. It’s a
real pleasure to be friends with you.” Ellen smiled. Lambert really isn’t a bad guy. she thought.
Lambert’s smile broadened more and more at the sight of Jared’s darkening expression. “In that case, we should

only to notice his long face. I’d better pack up before anything else, she thought.
Lambert followed her back to the villa. After following her upstairs, he stood at the door to her room to keep her
company. “Ellen, have you two made it up already?” he asked.
“Something happened between us that has to be dealt with right now,” Ellen explained while putting away the
clothes on her bed. Seeing that she was going to make the bed, Lambert strode in and volunteered, “I’ll do it! You
pack up your stuff.”
Ellen replied somewhat embarrassedly, “No, let me do it instead.”
However, Lambert insisted on making the bed himself. For some reason, he felt protective toward Ellen, who was
really kind of everyone’s darling with her vulnerable beauty.
Ellen was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re friends already, no?” Lambert said while making the bed dexterously. Then, seeing that
she had packed her suitcase, he reached out and lifted it up for her, saying, “Let’s go! I’ll walk you downstairs.”
Ellen followed him to the door. After the door opened, he walked her all the way to the door to Jared’s RV while
carrying her suitcase. “Here, I’m giving her back to you. But if you don’t cherish her, then don’t blame me for
stealing her again,” he said.
Jared narrowed his eyes and replied, “I’m afraid you’ll never have the opportunity.” “Wow! So confident, eh?”
Lambert replied before winking at Ellen. “Goodbye, Ellen.”
Ellen watched the man stride into the distance. Before she came to her senses, a male voice dripping with jealousy
rang beside her. “How much longer are you gonna follow him with your eyes?”
Ellen withdrew her gaze and asked him, “Can you go with me to my uncle’s place?”
“Of course, I can.” Jared nodded before handing her suitcase to Stanley beside him. “Take this suitcase to my
house.” Ellen was speechless for a moment. “I’m not going to your place.”
Stanley immediately picked up the suitcase, saying, “Got it. I’ll deliver it right away.” With that, he walked toward his
car and then left with Ellen’s suitcase before she could say anything.
