“Thank you.” Ellen didn’t know he had done so much for her, which made her feel

guilty for leaving him. “I hope that you won't leave again since I've gotten you a

house!” Jared looked down and said in a raspy voice.

After all, the reason he built her the house was so that she would stay. Hearing that,

she shut her eyes and nodded. “Alright, | won't be leaving anymore.” Now, she had a

hwithin the city.

Jared smiled when she accepted his gift, and from today onward, this would be their

home. After Ellen was given a tour around the duplex that spanned almost 10,000

square feet, she thought that the place was cozy.

When she noticed the shelves on the balcony that were filled with pots of succulents,

she turned to him and asked in surprise, “Did you get these too?”

Hearing that, Jared stood behind her with his arms folded and answered smilingly,

“Yes. | was also the one who picked them out. Do you like it?”

“They look so cute!” she gushed. She loved it and could feel that everything in the

house was carefully curated by Jared, which showed how much he loved her.

“Yes! Very cute indeed.” He was referring to the succulents and also Ellen. Soon after,

Ellen toured the living room before checking out the master bedroom on the second

floor. There was a private multi- functional movie hall, a gymnasium, and various

beautiful furniture and sofas where the color schemes caught her heart at first glance.

Jared had thoughtfully selected everything in the house. Ever since the start of

renovations, he had been there every day. After the renovation was completed, he

went to the shopping mall to pick out the fixtures and fittings.

It was as if he had been living and preparing for her return in the past year. He

believed that everything he had done would be rewarded, and the reward was Ellen.

The moment when he saw her smile and the tears in her eyes, he knew that

everything he had. done was worth it.

“Do you like it?” he asked in a deep voice. “I love it! | love everything about it.” She

nodded. She was moved as his love for her was noticeable through the details in

every corner of the house.

“Something’s missing, though.” “What is it?”

“It's a chess table. I'll get someone to send it over tomorrow. That way, you can teach

thought that it would be fun.

At that, she chuckled. ‘I don’t dare to play chess with someone as intelligent as you.

I'm afraid of losing to you.” She finally managed to win the championship and didn’t

want to be defeated by him.

“Lettell you a secret! When | was young, my parents madelearn how to play

chess. | wasn’t able to master it, so they eventually gave up. So, I'd like to learn from

you.” Jared laughed.

“No way!” She blinked her eyes. “I'm not lying. You can ask my parents when they're

back. He would never lie to her. Hearing that made her blush as it sounded like she

would be meeting his parents soon. The thought of it made her anxious.

It was probably because she had watched too many movies and read too many

which instilled fear within her toward women from wealthy families. She felt

that marrying a wealthy family would lead to an unknown world, and shel would lose

her freedom because of that.

Jared noticed how hesitant she was and comforted her, “Don’t worry, my parents are

easy to get along with, and | have a cheeky. sister, I'm sure you'll like her.”

After hearing that, an image of a haughty girl from a wealthy family instantly popped

into her mind, making her even more nervous. “Alright!” She nodded.

“Where do you think we should place the chess table?” he asked. “Placing it in front of

the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor would be nice.

We can look at the view if we get bored while playing chess,” she answered. There

was a smirk on his face when his gaze fell on her as she spoke, and Ellen blushed

upon that.
