Her mom’s house II
Mrs. Loren dragged Alex to the dining room. Despite how her daughter tried to stop her, she did not listen.
She even served Alex some food. Please join us, Mr. The woman said with a smile. “Silly me, I didn’t even get your name.”
Alex was a bit nervous about meeting Ellie’s mom; he did not think that it was her mother’s house before he came. But he was a bit surprised to see the woman acting so nice to him despite not knowing him before. He also gave the woman a smile. It’s Alex. Alex Warren. Alex answered.
Alex Warren? The name rings a bell. The woman said to him: But Alex, on the other hand, did not want to brag that she might have seen it on TV or on the news.
“So you both stay together? Since when?” Mrs. Loren asked, looking at her daughter before taking her gaze back to Alex.
But before Alex could talk, he said, “Well, I’m his assistant, and as his assistant, I have to be with him at all times. Also, we do have long meetings that could end at midnight, and I might not be able to go home, so he decided to allow me to stay at his house.” Ellie quickly explained. Her tone and expression were saying how uneasy she was, but her mother did not say anything.
The woman, not knowing what to say, looked at Alex and said, “Please eat.” She knew that her daughter was already a grownup, and she could make decisions herself, but she still couldn’t help but worry about her.
“Thank you.” Alex couldn’t think of anything other than to give her a smile. Apart from Ellie, that was the first time he would have a meal with a human.
He looked at the casserole before looking up to see two faces staring at him. “Don’t you like it? Do you want me to prepare another thing for you?” The woman asked.
Ellie, who was also looking at Alex, suddenly remembered that he doesn’t eat any random food. “Mom! He’s not a child. Don’t force him to eat. He only likes the food made in his house.”
Ellie’s mother was surprised to see her daughter talking about Alex like that. Despite telling her that he was just her boss, she sensed something was definitely going on. “Oh! I’m sorry.” Alex noticed the sadness on the woman’s face when she said that.
He looked at the food one last time before taking a spoonful of food into his mouth.
Ellie looked at him with her mouth wide open. She had never seen him eating-only the food he eats in the office and the coffee he takes at home. She even once thought that maybe it was a common thing for werewolves not to eat human food.
He took the third spoon before facing the woman. “It’s really delicious, ma’am.”
“Really? Ellie made it.” The woman said with a smile. Anyone who saw Mrs. Loren at that time would think that she was trying to set her daughter up with a boy.
“It really tastes good.” Alex looked at Ellie and said. He had seen her make pancakes before, but he did not eat them because he was not used to eating people’s food, especially humans, and also because he had a reason for not eating anyhow from people, but right then, he made a mental note to start eating her food every day.
They talked for some time, but most of the time, Mrs. Loren was just teasing her daughter. Alex also ate the food without leaving a single piece of food on his plate.
After the meal, Mrs. Loren insisted on packing the plates and cleaning them up. Ellie knew that her mom was definitely up to something. She dragged Alex to the living room after her mom left.
“You should leave now.” Ellie said, only to find him smiling.
“How can I leave my little bunny and go home alone? Ellie junior must have missed her dad a lot.” Alex walked closer to her and said with a smile. He was about to pull her by the waist towards him, but Ellie quickly moved away from him.
“Ellie junior?!” Ellie asked in surprise. She did not know he was already planning a name for the baby despite not knowing the gender yet, but that was not the right place to talk about that.
“Please, Alex, you have to leave. My mom must not find out about this.” Ellie whispered to him.
Alex sighed before saying, “Fine. You have to give me a kiss before I leave.
“What? Have you gone mad? This is my mother’s house.”
So if this is not your mom’s house, would you kiss me? He asked with a teasing smile. He walked closer to her and pulled her closer.
He was about to place his lips on hers when Mrs. Loren suddenly entered the living room. Ellie quickly pushed him away with force. Mo. Mom, you’re here. She stuttered with a weak smile.
Mrs. Loren looked at her and smiled. “Why are you sweating, Ellie?”
“I’m not sweating.” She said instantly. She touched and cleaned her forehead with the back of her hand.
“Hmm, ok. Go to the kitchen and finish the work there.” Mrs. Loren said she wanted to talk to Alex in secret.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ellie, on the other hand, did not want to go. She knew her mom was planning something, but she had no choice but to obey.
She gave different eye contact to Alex, who was just smiling at her, before going to the kitchen.
Stewart’s cooperation.
Christina was so tired after working for the entire day. She was glad that the next day was the weekend.
She finished her work and packed her bag to leave the office. She came out of the elevator when she bumped into a man. “Hey! Hi!” The man said it with a smile.
Hi! Christina answered before taking a step forward to leave. She did not know that the man was trying to talk to her. “Hey wait. You don’t remember me?”
Christina looked at him before shaking her head. “I think I’ve seen you before, but I can’t really remember where.”
Ok. I’m Sam, Ellie’s friend. I saw you together the first week you started working here. Sam said.
“Oh! Yes. I’m so sorry.” Christina said with a smile. “How can I forget?” She slapped her forehead lightly and smiled.
“It’s fine.” Sam also smiled back. “Have you heard from your friend recently?” Sam asked. He didn’t know whether they were close friends, but he had been trying to talk to Ellie, but she wasn’t picking up.
Sam and Ellie were such good friends in high school that even everyone thought they were made for each other, but he changed all of a sudden. He goes out with different girls despite knowing how Ellie feels about him. He sometimes allows the girls he dates to bully Ellie. All this was what weakened their friendship.
Oh! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t even contacted her for a while. Is she okay? Christina asked with worry on her face.
“Yeah. I just thought you talked to her recently. Thanks” He said, before bowing his head a little. He left without waiting for Christina’s reply.
“Are they not long-time friends? Why is he acting so suspicious?” Christina whispered to herself. She looked in Sam’s direction before walking out of the office.
Both of them did not know that a pair of eyes were staring at them when they were talking.
Callum was surprised to see Christina and a guy talking together. He came out of his private elevator to see Christina smiling at a guy.
At first, he felt like something was building up inside him. He made sure to listen to all their conversations with his wolf ears. “Why was she smiling so widely at him? Is that how she smiles at strangers?” he whispered to himself.
He took note of the guy very well. “How does this guy know Ellie?” He asked himself before looking at the guy as he walked away.
