Chapter 114 Love from scratch

Mrs. Elliot's curse was exaggerated, but Alex's response was not light.

John, who was with his mother, saw with his own eyes that Elly did not object to Alex's intimate gesture, her face was pale and her hands showed its veins.

Elly pulled off his arm around her waist, but she could not. She put her hand behind Alex, she bowed her head and clenched her teeth at his back.

Her hand was very strong, but Alex still straightened himself up and did not panic. He glanced at the black hair in his chest and let go.

"All right, don't make a fuss." Elly still bowed her head and secretly tugged at Alex's sleeve.

Elly felt that Alex had no intention of giving in, so she looked around and reminded her soberly of her noble identity. She was no longer keen on debate, but Mrs. Elliot did not show a weak expression on her face and said coldly. "You poor scumbags are acting like I'm weird."

Mrs. Elliot took John by the hand and said. "Let's leave now! Isn't that enough John?" She took John's hand and held him tightly with her fierce eyes.

Elly looked at John and smiled, but did not say a thing.

John left with Mrs. Elliot. Alex looked around and saw the two rushed home.

Only Elly and Alex were left at the door. She took two steps back, kept her distance from him and waited quietly. More than 10 minutes later, she looked at him with a blank face, she licked her lips and asked hesitantly. "Why haven't you come back yet? It's almost 12:00."

Alex's patience was interrupted, and he looked at her darkly. "I've helped you so much, isn't that enough to offer me a cup of tea?"

Elly's quarrel was startled. Alex scolded her and satirized John. His help would only make her hate him more.

"I don't have any tea at home."

"Water? Juice?" Alex gritted his teeth.

Elly went back and left the door open so he could enter the house.

She poured a glass of water and put it in front of him. "Come on, drink!"

"Is this your attitude towards the guests?" Alex looked at her unhappily, he took the cup, but did not drink. His eyes roamed around the room like an owl, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

As she looked at his dismissive expression, Elly could not help but to remind him. "Mr. Hargreaves, this is just an apartment, not a museum. Would you please stop checking my house?"

Alex asked sincerely, he was not angry. "Do you like living here so much?"

"Yeah!" She nodded bluntly. "This house is mine. I feel very comfortable living here."

She thought Alex would be sarcastic and ready to fight back. But he said nothing but took a sip of water quietly and watched her seat at the chair.

He stared at her carelessly, which made her a little frightened and confused.

The glass was empty, he put it on the table and said calmly." "It's getting late. Have a rest. I won't disturb you."

He stood up and walked to the door, where Elly's hesitant voice sounded from behind. "We don't have a relationship anymore, so don't stalk me, okay? I don't like people controlling my life."

Alex stood with his back to her, he was silent for a moment, then opened the door and left.

After a night of torture, Elly leaned wearily on the sofa. Mrs. Elliot's unpleasant words were repeated in her mind, it caused tension in her chest, sadness and displeasure.

She considered Alex's unusual behavior and attitude tonight, her heart became more confused.

Elly just wanted to live a quiet life slowly. 'When is that day going to happen?' she asked in her mind.

Elly rented under the building. Alex sat in the car and did not drive yet. His black eyes looked at the door of the building.

As expected, John came back after taking Mrs. Elliot back to the Elliot's House. He got out of the car and walked slowly towards the stairs, suddenly a light flashed in front of him.

John put his hand over his eyes, he recognized the black jeep of Alex, he was familiar with, and went straight to the car. Alex came down, leaned his back against the car and said coldly. "You really came back."

"Why are you still here?" John didn't look very well. "If you didn't show up today, things wouldn't be so complicated." John said.

Alex carelessly lit a cigarette, and when the lighter fire went out, he looked straight at John with a ray of light from the red fire. "Adults who controlled by their mothers are not qualified to question me.

John choked with his own saliva, he clenched his fist, and slowly loosened it. He did not come back to fight Alex, he did not want to bring more trouble to Elly.

He calmed down after a minute. John asked slowly. "How is she?"

"She's okay." Alex's voice was still full of resentment, not to anyone, but to John.

The two were silent, and a rare atmosphere took place between them. Alex let out a white smoke and glanced at John out of the corner of his eye. "Is that okay?"

"I used to treat her abroad for a long time, and the smell of smoke was not good for her health, so I give up."

Alex sniffed and did not respond. However, after he had not finished his cigarette on his lips, he did not light another one.

"Do you really love her?" John asked suddenly.

A few seconds later, Alex gave a reply to the assertion under John's serious eyes. "Yes, sir."

"Even if she hates you?"

His eagle's eyes in the middle of night aroused a sour light. "Even if she hates me."

Under the dim orange street lamp, John began to trust the person he was talking to. From Alex's eyes, he seemed to see his sincerity towards Elly.

In some cases, the eyes don't lie.

John was very familiar with this look because he himself has the same vision towards Elly. He and Alex were the same, with a heart that loves the same person.

John looked squarely at Alex and emphasized it word for word. "I will help you."

"Why?" Alex was surprised to see that one of his enemy had lost one against him. John hated him, just as he hates the man who had been haunting Elly.

But John's words let him saw the human nature in front of him clearly.

He said. "Mr. Hargreaves, I have never regarded you as an enemy, because we are the same, and we want Elly to be happy. If she loves you, I will help you, as long as you do your promises to bring her happiness."

For John, love was never something to have immediately.

The next afternoon, when Elly came home from work, she saw many porters was almost blocking the passage and they were blocking the road to the street.

"Has the new neighbor moved in yet?" Elly muttered to herself curiously.

She turned through the crowded street, and walked into the building and was pulled back by some of her neighbors she had greeted.

"Miss Elly, your room is so small, why do you have to buy so many appliances at once?"

"There are also expensive high-end goods for you. How many are there in the whole place?"

The apartment building was full. "Miss Elly put that modern appliances in your apartment. I think it's very heavy." Said by her neighbor

"Oh, my God, are you jealous?"

The neighbors said a word and talked about valuable household items. She was in a bad mood, she didn't know what to do, and a man who seemed to be a manager came up to her and said respectfully.

"Miss Elly, we are from the household appliance company. Kindly open the door and let us put these things inside."

"Are you sure these things are sent to my house? I didn't place an order." Elly blinked and she got paranoid.

"Miss Elly lives at 105, second floor of the building. The telephone number is..."

"Okay, don't look at it." Elly shook her hand and she rushed up the stairs. "Please go upstairs."

Two-door refrigerator, automatic dryer, oven, dishwasher. That was all the appliances delivered to her from a mysterious person.

Elly looked at the neatly arranged furniture and felt that the room was getting smaller.

"Do you know who ordered it?" John was the first person Elly thought of, and she wanted to make sure.

"I don't know the details. I only know who is that these were paid for by Mr. Hargreaves."

Elly was electrocuted. 'Is that the purpose of your visit yesterday?' she asked herself. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Alex's phone number, and as soon as the phone was answered, she questioned him.

"What did you do? Do you think my house is not small enough? With so much equipment, where should I sleep? The important thing is that I have things in my house, too."

Alex was glad to see the name of the caller on his phone screen, but Elly's angry voice made the smile on his face disappeared. He asked calmly.

"I just politely help you and buy you those things to make your life more convenient and comfortable. The old furniture in your house was like those that picked up from the garbage. I'm afraid it's not safe to use. Is this how you repay me for my kindness? "

"Who needs your kindness?" She gritted her teeth and said, "You dared to treat me things, and saying that my room is rubbish. Your voice is too judgemental. You should immediately ask the home appliance company to take these things back. I don't need them."

"I'm sorry, Miss Elly. If there is no quality problem with the household purchase, we will accept it if you ever return it." The delivery manager interrupted the call before Alex could spoke. His voice was very polite, but it only makes Elly's blood boiled.

Alex on the other side of the phone also heard clearly and let nature take its course. "As you can see, the goods cannot be returned."

"I don't care! I don't need your stuff. You send someone." Elly firmly refused.

As he heard her angry voice, Alex spoke calmly and slowly. "You are still my fiance. We're engaged. I don't want to insult my fiance. My woman must live a complete material life."
