If Nancy saw Alex on her bed in the middle of the night in such a suggestive position, she wouldn’t be able to explain it no matter how hard she tried.
She struggled to get up but was too scared to move when Alex gave her a fierce look.
Facing Alex’s fierce gaze, Ellie didn’t dare to make a sound.
Alex glared down at Ellie, his expression intense, and demanded, “I’m asking you, and you better give me an honest answer. Don’t even think about trying to fool me, or else I-!”
Alex searched for a long time but couldn’t find what he was looking for, so he changed his threat. “You’re in big trouble!”
Ellie had no choice but to nod obediently.
Alex asked, “Is Mike asking you out?” Ellie shook her head.
The hostility on Alex’s face faded a bit, and his tone softened. “Those guys around Mike are all trouble. Stay away from them, okay?”
Ellie nodded obediently on the outside, but inside, she was too drained to even roll her eyes.
Honestly, if anyone was being weird, it was the guy right in front of her.
Sometimes, she even thought about suggesting he see a therapist.
Seeing how unusually compliant Ellie was acting, Alex’s gaze softened without him realizing it.
Thinking of how Ellie used to be all shy and demure around him, Alex spoke again, his voice now soft. “Ellie, just behave. I won’t ask you anything you don’t want to answer, and I promise those things won’t happen again.”
Alex said, “I’ll give you an extra card. It doesn’t matter if you make money or not, but you’re not allowed to work a side job or hang out with random people, understand?”
Ellie lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions in her eyes. Alex’s blatant possessiveness; she couldn’t pretend not to feel it, or she’d be lying to herself.
The person he loved was Haley. The reason he acted this way towards her was that he knew she’d secretly liked him for seven years. It’s just a case of typical male behavior causing trouble.
Whether she was obedient or not, she would always end up being bullied.
He loved Haley so much that his heart naturally leaned towards her.
Without realizing it, he’d give all his love and kindness to Haley, continually pushing his own limits for the woman he cherished.
Actually, he wasn’t wrong at all.
From the start, he had been someone who passionately stood up for those he cared about, never bothering with reason, and always very bold–everyone who knew him was aware of this.
He was always like this; he had never changed.

It was just that the person he used to stand up for was her, and now it’s Haley.
Just then, the sudden ringing of a phone interrupted them. Alex let go of Ellie and turned over to gratifits phone from the nightstand.
Seeing the caller ID, Alex instinctively looked at Ellie before answering the call.
Haley said through the phone, “Alex, you finally picked up! Ethan’s in trouble—the case has been handed over to the prosecutor’s office, and Aaron’s handling it.
“I broke up with Aaron for you back then. He resents me, and I’m really scared he’ll use my brother’s case to get trenge o me. Can you help me, please?”
On the phone, Haley’s panicked voice was perfectly clear to Ellie.
“Stop crying, and just stay there and wait for me; I’ll be right over.” Hearing the concern and urgency in Alex’s voice, Elle closed the bathroom door and locked it.
Alex ended the call and turned to look at the tightly closed bathroom door, his expression was filled with uncertainty.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Alex turned around and left Ellie’s room.
