Fast forward to the next evening, Ellen arrived at Darlsbury, and Xavia and Jacob made sure to pick her up at the airport as gratitude.
With how beautiful Ellen was, Xavia couldn’t help but feel slightly stunned. After all, Zivon had worked with that woman for quite a while before managing to wake her up… To think that he wasn’t even tempted to fall for her…
Feeling slightly touched, she shook her head before saying, “Welcome to Darlsbury, Miss Garcia… Your help is truly appreciated.”
Smiling in response, Ellen replied, “Don’t worry about it. Honestly, you should thank Zivon for my willingness to aid you. I’m only driven by how devoted and loyal he is to his family.”
Xavia knew that Ellen had no reason to lie, so after a nod, she was prompted to say, “I see… Thank you nevertheless. Putting that aside, I’m sure you must be exhausted after your long flight, so do rest up first… We can visit Sophia at the hospital tomorrow.”
“I’d like that,” replied Ellen as she began pulling her luggage… but before she could get too far, Jacob stopped her and said, “Allow me.”
Recalling what she had previously done before him, Ellen awkwardly smiled before saying, “…I can manage on my own.”
Raising a slight brow, Jacob replied, “…I hope you’re not assuming that I’m making a move on you… As I said before, I have no interest in women like you.”
To his surprise, however, he ended up having a wet dream regarding Ellen… and when he finally woke up, he was drenched in sweat. Damn it all! Just what the hell was wrong with him?! She had only shown him her breasts once! That memory shouldn’t have stuck with him for so long! Was he that sexually repressed…?
Rubbing his temples, he calmed himself down before finally leaving the room… But to his dismay, he soon bumped into Ellen!
Unlike before, he tried to ignore her… but to his surprise, Ellen walked up to him before saying, “There you are. Since Miss Frankston needs to attend a parent-child event today, she told me to get you to accompany me to the hospital. I assume you’ve already been told this, so… Why are you ignoring me?”
