Chapter 665
“I was asleep when you called that night, and my wife answered. Then she slapped me awake, and the diamond on her nail scratched my face.”
Alex lay straight on the bed and rolled his eyes at the ceiling. “What a loser.”
Layton said, “Even if I’m a loser, at least I have my wife and children, but look at you. You don’t have a woman, and even your car is a neutered one.”
After Alex taunted him, Layton said a lot to retort.
“Get up, I need to talk to you about something important,” Layton said, giving Alex another punch.
The next morning, before 24 hours had even passed, Alex hurriedly left the hospital.
“I’ll be busy these days and have to go abroad for a while. Remember what you promised me.” Alex went to Ellie’s office and told her that before leaving the hospital.
As he said, he didn’t show up again for several days.
Ellie took advantage of a break to return to the Thompson residence to pick up her children.
Joanna said, “Whitney is moving to the military compound with her child next month. This place is so far from the hospital. and it won’t be convenient for you to travel back and forth.
“Just leave the children with
le, and I’ll take care of them.”
Joanna still didn’t want Ellie to keep the children with her.
Whitney also advised, “Ellie, my husband is in the military, and I’ll take George to see him next month.
“The nanny and driver at home were all carefully chosen by him, and the housekeeper is his retired subordinate. Zack will also stay here.
“Your brother and sister–in–law will be back in a while, so don’t worry about the children. You can come here when you’re free.
“Then you can spend time with your kids, and also check on your mom, brother and sister–in–law. Don’t take the children with you.”
They’re your kids. If you want to take them, I can’t stop you.” Joanna got up and went back to her room.
Ellie said, “Mom…”
Seeing Joanna get angry, Ellie compromised helplessly, “Fine.”
Ellie stayed at the Thompson residence that night and drove to the hospital for work alone the next day.
“Dr. Thompson, Mr. Alex Warren is on the news.” As Ellie passed by a ward, she was spotted by Linda.
Ellie watched the global financial news playing on TV. Alex was being interviewed by the host.
He was wearing an expensive and formal suit and sat with his long legs casually crossed. His relaxed posture revealed his high status.

Ellie thought, ‘So he’s in Driolace these days!
Linda said, “Mr. Alex Warren collaborated with eight governments and signed a long–term new energy project. How amazing!
“Dr. Thompson, the host said that the project in Mr. Warren’s hands instantly increased Warren Group’s market value by more than tenfold. That’s incredible!”
Although Lacey didn’t know about business, she could also tell that the project in Alex’s hands was quite something.
Ellie didn’t say a word when she came out of the ward.
She thought, ‘Sure enough, Alex can succeed in anything he sets his mind to.
“This time, both the Warren family and Warren Group will be brought back to their peak by Alex, including Alex himself.
After work that evening, Ellie received a call from Mark, who said there was a business dinner. It wasn’t until she arrived at the restaurant that she realized there were only Mark and Lacey.
“Mark, don’t let me bother you two.” Ellie was about to leave before sitting down.
“Mr. Warren is also coming. He’ll be right here.” Lacey pulled Ellie to sit down.
Ellie looked at Mark.
Mark explained with a smile, “Last time, Mr. Warren helped us get in touch with a supplier and even negotiated a few percentage points off the profit margin. We promised to treat him to dinner. He’ll be here soon.”
Ellie also remembered this and then nodded knowingly.
“Sorry, I just got off the plane a while ago.” Alex finally arrived. He directly sat down next to Ellie.
Mark said, “Mr. Warren, if you’re short on time, we can reschedule.”
“You’re treating me to dinner. Of course I have to come,” Alex replied to Mark, but his gaze was fixed on Ellie.
