Ella was unaccustomed to hearing sweet words, and her temples throbbed with tension.

“I don’t know if you would be me for the rest of my life, but I’m definitely having this child,” she said instinctively.

Jaden stiffened instantly.

His fists clenched silently, and he suppressed his

anger.

Jaden said, “It’s late. Let’s rest early. You should wash up first.”

Ella nodded, feeling chilled and worried about catching a cold.

The hot water misted up, making her head feel dizzy.

Her vision went black and her body swayed. Luckily, she managed to steady herself by gripping the edge of the sink.

She accidentally knocked some items off the counter, shattering them on the floor.

She was still feeling lightheaded.

“Ella, are you alright?” Jaden’s urgent voice came from outside the door.

Ella wanted to respond, but she was having difficulty breathing. And she couldn’t make

Not receiving an answer, Jaden burst through the door.

Ella barely had time to cover herself with a bathrobe.

Seeing her in such a state, Jaden quickly opened a crack in the window.

He then wrapped her in a bathrobe and carried her out.

sound.

“Don’t you have any common sense? It’s very dangerous to be in there alone without ventilation.” Jaden was somewhat angry.

“I’ll be more careful next time,” she said softly.

Jaden, unable to continue scolding her, gently set her down and said, “Rest first. I’ll be back soon.”

“But you haven’t washed up. Where are you going?” she asked, puzzled, but Jaden didn’t clarify.

Unable to sleep, Ella idly browsed her phone and saw a weather warning,

The storm was unusually severe, and many companies and schools had already shut down.

Ella was bored and fiddling with her phone when she suddenly smelled food. Her nose twitched.

Ella thought, ‘It smells so good!

She realized she hadn’t eaten much all day, and though she hadn’t felt hungry before, now the aroma made her feel ravenous,

She turned around to see Jaden bringing over pasta with meat sauce.

It didn’t look impressive, something commonly found on the street, which she had never cared about.

But now, she was eager to try it.

Ella asked, “You made this?”

She suddenly remembered that the grave keeper couldn’t cook. It was his daughter who brought the meals for him every day. “Yes.” Jaden nodded.

Ella said, “You can cook?”

Jaden said, “Sometimes my stepmother would intentionally starve me, so I would secretly cook for myself. At first, I only wanted to fill my stomach, but later I developed a taste for good food and started to care more about it. So, I got pretty good at it.”

Jaden was generous in praising his own cooking.

Ella took a bite and was pleasantly surprised.

The meat sauce pasta was fantastic.

She had been troubled by pregnancy nausea and couldn’t eat much, but now she found herself eager to eat.

Seeing her eat with enthusiasm, Jaden thought about cooking all her meals himself from now on.

He wasn’t afraid of being laughed at. e just wanted to see her enjoy her food.

The pasta was quickly finished, and Ella

Jaden said, “Where should I sleep tonight? There’s only one bed.”

Ella said, “You can share a bed with the grave keeper.”

“I’d rather sleep on the hard floor.”

“Well, suit yourself.” She didn’t believe it.

But unexpectedly, Jaden was so stubborn that he laid out some clothes on the floor and lay down.

Ella was left with no choice and said, “Come up here.”

Jaden said, “You won’t kick me off?”

Ella was a bit annoyed. “No, I won’t.”

Jaden immediately moved over, a smug smile in his eyes.

Ella’s heart sank as she thought, “This jerk knew I wouldn’t be that heartless, so he was doing this on purpose.

He only ever took advantage of Ella.

Thinking about the past, Ella couldn’t help crying.

Ella said, “You always know how to take advantage of me. This is my territory, and you make me give in.”

Jaden was at a loss seeing her tears and said, “I was wrong. I should have given in first. Can you, for my sake, let me sleep on the bed? The floor is cold and hard, and I’ll catch a cold if I sleep on it. Ella, you’re so kind. You wouldn’t want me to suffer, right?

“Ella, let me sleep on the bed, Okay? I promise I won’t do anything out of line. My dear Ella, could you?”

His pleading made her feel a little better.

At least he was begging properly now,

She sniffled and, feeling merciful, said, “Alright, you can come and sleep here.”

“So, you like it this way?” Jaden smiled.

“What?” Ella frowned at him.

Jaden just smiled and remained silent.

Ella was easily softened, and sometimes got frustrated with herself for being too soft–hearted.

To make her feel better, one had to go along with her wishes and plead a little. That way, she would forgive him even if he betrayed her.

Otherwise, she would not have ended up fallen for Grace’s trap

Since she liked it this way, he would act accordingly.

He was good at pretending.

At night, Ella felt someone come closer, with strong arms wrapped around her and a chest pressed against her. She felt very uncomfortable.

She tried to struggle but couldn’t make any change.

Slowly waking up, she said, “Jaden, didn’t we agree to just sleep?”

She thought, ‘What is all this hugging?‘

But all she heard was his steady breathing.

She thought, ‘He is asleep?

She was surprised he fell asleep faster than her.

She pushed against his chest, but there was no reaction.

Trying to escape from Jaden’s embrace, she was instead pulled even tighter.

His chin rested on her head, and he murmured softly, “Ella…”

Eie was whispering her name.

Eventually, Ella gave up resistance. She was too tired and fell asleep again.

After she was asleep, the man behind her slowly opened his eyes, sharp and fierce.

To advance further, he needed to take some measures.

You can only be mine. You were the one who came to me first. Don’t try to leave me,” he said slowly, as if declaring ownership, and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Ela had a nightmare, being stared at by a terrifying monster with scarlet eyes that followed her relentlessly
