At the temporary parking spot by the hospital entrance, Alex started the car. Then he saw Ellie standing by the roadside with two large bags, waiting for a ride.
Glancing at Haley in the passenger seat, Alex lowered the car window. The car began to move slowly, passing in front of Ellie.
Ellie stepped back to give way, and Alex didn’t stop to help.
Just as Alex’s car passed Ellie, a black Maybach slowly pulled up. The door opened, and a tall, handsome man got out of the
car.
“Mark,” Ellie said happily as she approached the man.
Mark Grant had a slender figure. He was wearing a light–colored half–high collar inner layer with a thin windcoat on top. The minimalist style perfectly captured the essence of a mature yet youthful look.
Mark took the two handbags from Ellie. He had a very attractive smile, and his voice was low and charming. “Long time no see, Ellic.”
“Alex, look,” Haley said deliberately, seeing Ellie get into a car with Mark through the rearview mirror. “That man is so attentive to her; they must have a very close relationship. I told you Ellie couldn’t be without a man by her side.
Alex saw Mark personally open the passenger door for Ellie through the rearview mirror. Ellie smiled at Mark with particular joy.
When Ellie got into the car, Mark reached out to help her. It was unclear what Ellie said, but Mark gave a faint smile, his gaze fixed on Ellie,
Alex felt as if a large rock was stuck in his heart, heavy and stuffy. Ellie’s unguarded smile deeply hurt him.
Alex stepped on the gas, and the car quickly entered the fast lane.
Alex dropped Haley off at the new house. At that moment, he received a call from the Warren Manor.
Although Alex didn’t put the call on speaker, Haley still heard the content clearly. Carlos asked Alex to pick up Ellie and ther have the two of them return to the Warren Manor together.
After hanging up the phone, Alex confronted Haley. “Who told you to see my grandfather without my knowledge?”
Haley sat on the chair in front of the dressing table, guiltily avoiding Alex’s stern gaze. “Alex, I did it for your own good. We’ve been out for so long.”
“It’s fine that your parents won’t let me in, but they won’t allow you to go back, either. You are the only heir to the Warren family. Your parents don’t even want their own son; what do they really want?” she went on.
“Haley, listen carefully. From now on, you are not allowed to see anyone in my family again,” Alex said, grabbing his coat and leaving.
Everyone in Alex’s family, including his relatives, liked Ellie. Especially Carlos.
Originally, Alex’s parents had kept the conflict between Ellie and Haley a secret from Carlos, but Haley had taken it upon herself to meet with Carlos, who had coaxed out the entire story.

Chapter 142
Evan had just called Alex to say that Carlos had been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Warten Manor requesting to see Alex. It was only then that Alex found out about what had happened.
After Haley left, Carlos had fainted and was taken to the hospital. To Alex’s surprise, his parens had him to fin as if he was really dead to them.
“Alex!” Seeing Alex about to leave, Haley suddenly got up and hugged Alex from behind. It sorry. It’s all my fault. 13 hes to you from now on. I’ll never see your family again.”
She couldn’t let Alex leave at this moment to go find Ellie.
Alex irritably pried open Haley’s hands and turned around. “Haley, my kindness towards you is just my own does mean my entire family has to be kind to you.”
“What my parents want to do and how they want to treat me have nothing to do with you,” he continued
Haley faintly sensed Alex’s irritation. She suppressed the emotions churning inside her and lowered her posture understand, Alex. I swear I will never see your family again. I’m hurt: can you stay with me?”
“I’m going back for a while. You rest well,” Alex pushed Haley awIT.
Haley reluctantly hugged Alex again. “Alex, we’ve been engaged for so long. Can you come back and stay anngine
“Haley!” Alex completely lost his patience and forcefully pushed Haley away. We’ll nk abou DI CONT
Haley was pushed by Alex and fell to the ground. Her arm accidentally knocked over the jewelry box on the dressing the and the exquisite jewelry box and its contents spilled all over the floor.
Alex looked down and saw a familiar men’s collar chain. Alex bent down to pick it up.
Seeing Alex staring at the collar chain in his hand in a daze, Haley quietly stood up.
If she remembered correctly, the collar chain was the one she had taken from Ellie’s room when Elle had shortly after entering the Warren family.
At that time, Ellie had offered it to her, but she didn’t want it, and she took it home out of curiosity when she left. She hadnt thought much of it at the time.
“Alex!” Haley threw herself into Alex’s arms, aggrieved. “I just want you to stay and accompany me more.
The complex look in Alex’s eyes slowly dissipated like smoke. He clenched the collar chain in one hand and with the other he held Haley’s back, gently pulling her into his embrace. “Don’t cry. I won’t leave.
