Chapter 460
The sharp sound of the slap echoed through every corner of the room.

The atmosphere in the bedroom changed dramatically in an instant, and even the air around them seemed to freeze. Alex ignored the pain on his cheek from Ellie’s slap and stared at Ellie’s numb face with his eyes fixed.
He carefully reached out to take Ellie’s hand, with a clear hint of hesitation. Before his hand could touch Ellie’s fingertips. Ellie jerked her hand back as if electrocuted. Then she turned and crawled to the other side of the bed.
“Ellie!” At the bedroom door, Alex grabbed Ellie’s shoulder and pulled her into a tight hug from behind. He held her tightly and spoke in a soft voice, “Didn’t we say we would move Lack’s bed upstairs tonight? I’ll go down with you now.”
Alex’s eyes were erratic, and his voice trembled noticeably. He said, “Ellie, you promised Grandpa that you would teach me how to grow orchids. I want to learn now. Let’s go to Grandpa’s greenhouse, and you can teach me.”
Ellie’s silence made him more and more anxious.
He said, “Have you decided whether it’s better to use wood paneling with varnish or to build brick walls for the outside of Luck’s cat house? You make the decision.”
The next moment, Ellie broke free from Alex’s embrace with force. Their eyes met, and Ellie’s emotions broke down. “Stop pretending. I remember everything!”
Alex’s breath caught noticeably.
“I never want to see you again!” Ellie pushed Alex away and stumbled as she turned.
Alex reacted and chased her out of the room. They struggled all the way to the living room entrance.
“Stop her!” Barry, who was just about to enter the room, heard Alex’s command and had to gather his courage to stop Ellie with the bodyguards at the living room entrance.
Alex, with red eyes, tried his best to control himself. He tried to explain. Im sorry, Ellie. I did all this just to keep you. I won’t let you get hurt anymore!”
Ellie was so angry that she laughed helplessly, struggling to breathe and clutching the clothes at her chest tightly. Her tears poured down like a broken dam, and her face was extremely pale.
She said, “What are you using to keep me? With your disgusting tricks and lies?!” Looking at Alex approaching her step by step, Ellie’s firm steps didn’t retreat.
Ellie shouted, “Don’t forget that the person you love is Haley. Don’t forget how you hurt me again and again for her!”
Tve always been looking for you. It was a mistake that I thought it was someone else. I don’t love her!” Alex shouted, breaking dowIL
“If you don’t love her, how could you have the heart to suppress me and my brother again and again for her?!”
With red eyes and a visibly moving Adam’s apple, Alex said word by word, “I was wrong. Ellie. I beg you to give me a chance to make it up to you all!”
“Make it up to us?” Ellie laughed out of anger, “If it weren’t for you, my dad wouldn’t have died. How can you compensate for
life?!
“I’m responsible for Mr. Thompson’s death, but I really didn’t do it on purpose!”
Suppressing his emotions, Alex moved towards Ellie and said, “Ellie, we love each other. In Yorksure, you promised me that

no matter what happened, you would never leave my side. We made a promise to walk together forever!”
“A promise made with a lie is more false and unreliable than the lie itself! Since the day my dad died, we can only be strangers! I never want to see you again. Never!”
After saying that, Ellie pushed Barry, who was blocking the doorway, and rushed into the heavy rain.
Barry was so scared that he raised his hands above his head and didn’t dare to stop her.

“Ellie!” Alex chased after her desperately. “In Yorksure, we were already engaged! We’re together, Ellic. You promised me that you!
leave me!”
Alex was pushed away by Ellie again and again, but he kept approaching her. The heavy rain quickly soaked both of them. Alex begged humbly and cried like a child in front of Ellie.
Ellie’s cries were even more heart–wrenching. Neither of them was in a better situation. Even the kitten that Alex brought back for Ellie a few days ago circled them in the rain, meowing sadly and refusing to leave their sides.
