Chapter 85
He looked at her with warmth growing in his eyes, feeling like his heart was dipped in a honey jar, filled with sweetness.
For the first time, he truly felt he had a home.
A home that Ella had given him.
He hugged Ella tightly from behind.
Ella felt like she was being embraced by a giant furnace all night. No matter how many times she tried to push him away, she couldn’t, so she gave up eventually.
When she woke up the next morning, she felt a heavy weight on her and someone licking her.
She turned her head and saw it was Jaden.
He was gently nibbling on her earlobe with his warm breath tickling her ear.
“What are you doing?”
She tried to push him away, but she was too weak.
You taste good, he answered seriously.
Ella blushed deeply and changed the topic.
“Get up and wash up, quickly!”
She made Jaden leave the room because she didn’t dare to dress in front of him.
After he left, she got out of bed and almost fell
She went to the bathroom and was speechless when she saw the marks all over her body.
The memories of last night flooded her mind, making her head feel like it was going to explode.
She had to admit that Jaden was quite charming.
When she went downstairs for breakfast, she noticed Jaden couldn’t take his eyes off her, not even to eat.
“Have your breakfast. Can you get full just by looking at me?”
Jaden nodded seriously and said, “You taste good.”
Hearing this, Hazel gave them a strange look.
Ella was so embarrassed that she choked on the milk.
Jaden quickly came over to pat her back.
“Careful, do you want me to feed you?”
Ella started to wonder who was the real fool here, and who needed to be taken care of
“No.
She waved her hands repeatedly.
“Ella, there’s something on your lips.”
He gently wiped her mouth with a napkin.
The way he looked at her was like a devotee gazing at their divine idol, full of sincere warmth which was enough to melt anything.
Ella felt her whole body heating up, memories of the previous night attacking her again.
Jaden asked, “Ella, why are you blushing?”

“I’m not blushing”
Ella was about to lose it as she thought. How can he look so innocent! It was him last night who..
“Ella, when can we do it again?” he asked earnestly
“Tm going to work”
Ella escaped quickly.
Jaden watched her leave in satisfaction, thinking that she was so cute when he teased her.
But then, he rested his chin on his hand, feeling a little disappointed.
He found it so empty and lonely when he couldn’t be with her all day.
Jenny went to the office to find Ella, her eyes focused on her for a while
“What’s wrong?
“Something’s happening”
She reached out and pulled down Ella’s scarf, revealing the marks underneath.
“You, you, you…”
Jenny was too excited to speak
Ella pretended to be calm. “Adult matters, it’s normal.”
“You finally laid your hands on Jadent
Ella coughed upon hearing Jenny’s words,
“Tell me, how does it feel?”
Ella blushed and didn’t answer, saying instead, “Let’s see when I get pregnant, Grandpa will be very happy when he finds out.”
Jenny shook her head regretfully. “Ella, your thoughts are dangerous. You shouldn’t fulfill obligations just for having children. It should be out of love, willingly, and desiring intimacy with that person.”
“All I want now is for Grandpa to spend a few more years with me.”
Ella felt that she had no right to focus on her romantic happiness when she still had a lot of time, but Devin’s time was running out day by day.
After a few days of recovering, she went to see Devin.
They were having dinner when Devin casually asked, “Ella, have you noticed anything different at home?”
“What?”
She looked at him puzzled, wondering what was different
Devin shook his head before answering. “There are spies planted in our home.”
Ella’s heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Who?”
Devin said calmly, “Hank, he’s Marcus’s secretary, following Marcus’s orders”
Upon hearing this, Ella shivered.
Cullen brought a bunch of information, indicating that there was something wrong with several servants in the house.
They had all come to the Willow family half a year ago, around the time she started dealing with Marcus and secured the contract.
Therefore, nor only did Marcus infiltrate the company, but he also planted people in her house.

That meant their family’s fortune and lives were in the hands of a stranger,
“Tim old and ill, but I’m not useless. I’ll take care of these people for you, but be careful. As for the matter regarding Finn in the group. E
deal with trying to deal with him. Listen to me, don’t touch him, and let him do whatever he wants.
Devin’s voice was hoarse, accompanied by a slight cough
“Why?”
Ella was shocked and continued, “If he continues like this, Willow Group will be ruined sooner or later, and that’s your hard work“:
I know you’re
Tim almost half–dead, those are just external things. I’ve left some money for you in overseas banks. Even af Willow Group goes bankrupt, your quality of life won’t decline”
“Why? Why does Finn want to harm our family, and why should we tolerate it?”
“I owe him, and I can’t repay it. You just have to let him be, but if he threatens your life, then do as you wish. You’re not the little girl from before; I
trust you
Ella wanted to continue asking, but Devin had already waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to rest.
She stood at the door, feeling heavy–hearted
Cullen came ou
out very quickly and reported, “Devin’s
sleep quality has been a bit poor lately, he needs sedatives to fall asleep”
“Is it because of the group’s affairs? Dr. Dixon, do you know anything?
Cullen shook his head.
Ella knew he was lying because he was like Devin’s grandson, not related by blood but just as in
He was a poor student taken in by Devin and was supported throughout his overseas studies.
He used to work in a major hospital, already at the level of vice director at a young age, but as soon as Devin fell ill, he resigned from his position. He didn’t take a penny, just to take care of Devin, becoming the Willow family’s private doctor.
Cullen understood Devin’s thoughts and worries very well.
Ella pleaded. “Cullen, please tell me.”
Cullen had no choice but to say, “Don’t make it hard for me. I can only tell you that Devin made mistakes in the past and harmed Finn’s family, feeling guilty and restless. Is that enough?
Ella frowned after hearing this.
When she went back, she carefully reviewed Finn’s information.
It turned out that he was from an orphanage, with unknown background,
With this, Ella wondered what Devin did to owe their family so much.
