Ellie looked at the three elders of the Warren family and said with determination, “Grandpa, I am willing”
If this could earn the protection of the three elders of the Warren family, she was willing. If this meant that her relationship with Alex would be defined from now on, she was willing.
“Ellie!” Alex forcefully grabbed Ellie’s arm and pulled her close.
The two looked at each other, Alex’s eyes were red, he wanted to speak but stopped, his chest heaving significantly,
“Brother, please take care of me in the future.” Ellie was as calm as usual, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Alex was on the brink of collapse, oscillating back and forth, staring at Ellie like that. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Ellie, you can forget about it.”
Alex turned around angrily and left.
After leaving the Warren Manor, Ellie met with Aaron.
Previously, Nancy had wanted to adopt her as a daughter many times, but her parents didn’t agree, nor did she, because they felt they owed the Warren family too much.
But now she had come to terms with it. If her new identity could protect her from being bullied and allow her to live a peaceful life, she was willing.
At the entrance of the apartment building, by the roadside, Ellie had just gotten out of a taxi when Alex pulled her onto the sidewalk.
In the evening, on the roadside sidewalk, the two looked at each other.
Alex said, “Go tell Grandpa that you refuse to be adopted.”
Ellie tugged at the corners of her lips without speaking.
Seeing Ellie’s silence, Alex reached into Ellie’s pocket to take out her phone. “Call Grandpa now and tell him you refuse.” “This is my business, it has nothing to do with you.” Ellie retreated to avoid him.
Alex, seeing Ellie avoid him, angrily grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. Ellie struggled to break free, and Alex, afraid of hurting her, responded by holding her other hand.
Ellie tried to break free again, and Alex held both of her hands. “Ellie, we can never be siblings. You can forget about it…” Alex stopped abruptly as he was about to continue.
Unable to break free, Ellie’s eyes welled up with frustration. “If I had a choice, I would rather we were strangers.”
They locked eyes, the surrounding silence as if the world was left with only the two of them. Alex stared intently at Ellie, his chest rapidly rising and falling, clearly wanting to speak but holding back.
Ellie broke her gaze and struggled desperately. “Let me go.”

Alex remained silent, not releasing her, just watching her like that.

Ellie, in a panic, lowered her head and bit down on the back of Alex’s hand. Even as the taste of blood filled her mouth, Ellie did not let go.
Alex winced in pain, but his grip on Ellie’s hands tightened. Looking down at Ellie with a fierce determination, his eyes were bloodshot.
Just as they were at an impasse, the phone in Alex’s pocket vibrated incessantly. Seeing that Alex was unwilling to answer the call, Ellie released her bite.
She rubbed her mouth against Alex’s arm, wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and Ellie spoke sarcastically. “What would your beloved think if she saw you holding onto me like this?”
After Ellie spoke, Alex indeed let go and answered the call.
Watching the tenderness that flashed in Alex’s eyes, he quickly got into his car and left after the call. Ellie turned and walked towards the residential area.
From now on, whatever she did, she would only consider her interests. No one could influence her anymore.
