Ellen blushed when she heard his words. You are attractive! | 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 | 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 tto “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 sclothes for Mr. Presgrave,” he explained and gave her a bag.
“Stanley, Sure. I'll hand it to him, do you want to cin?” She smiled at him. He quickly waved at her and said, “No, no. | 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 hmortgage 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 smoney from him.”
Olivia was glad to see that her husband had thought it through. She sat down beside him happily and agreed, “Yes. Yes. | have the
sthoughts. His family is wealthy. They could help us out.”
“I'll see if | can bring this up! You shouldn't go and meet them. You might mess things up.”
Olivia quickly agreed, “Sure. | 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 forto get a job
at this age, and it's the sfor you. We can’t lower ourselves anymore,” she lamented, as though. her remarks would inspire
Connor.
Connor had been worrying over the sproblem. 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.
