- Chapter 596
- It was just past 6:30 p.m., and outside the Earl Hotel, Chris stared in disbelief as Alex stepped out of the car. He was dressed in cropped pants, a floral shirt, a gold chain, and sunglasses while carrying a silver tabby cat in his arms.
- Chris quickly stepped forward, eyes widening in shock. He thought, ‘Is this really Mr. Warren? The swagger and the flashy attitude–is it him?”
- “Why did you bring your cat again?” Layton said, frowning as he caught sight of the absurdly confident and flashy figure. He had just finished washing the baby bottle and rushed over as soon as he got Whitney’s call.
- “I’ve told you a million times, there’s a hotel rule—no pets allowed. Lock it in the car!” Layton shot a glare at the cat in Alex’s
- arms.
- Alex shrugged. “I’ve done this before. Just treat it like a human.”
- Layton stared at him, speechless.
- Seeing Alex confidently strut into the hotel with the cat, Layton quickly caught up and grabbed his arm. “Nalani is inside with her family. Don’t let her see the cat, or she’ll have its fur all pulled out!”
- “If she does that, I’ll shave your kid’s head bald.” Alex, still holding the cat, walked away confidently, with Layton trying–and failing–to stop him.
- Behind them, Chris and Barry exchanged a glance before quickly following along.
- Layton waved his hand, and the lobby manager quickly jogged over. “What can I do for you, Mr. Mosley?”
- “Have two people keep an eye on Mr. Warren’s cat!” Layton ordered, before hurrying to the private room to find Nalani.
- “Sorry, guys,” Layton greeted as he entered, taking a seat obediently next to Nalani.
- He casually observed Nalani’s reaction, then turned to Ellie. “There’s a peacock outside. Do you want to go check it out?”
- Ellie, noticing the mischievous look on Layton’s face, quickly figured out who he meant by the peacock.
- “Wow, I’m going!” Oscar dropped his fork and dashed out of the room.
- “I’m going too!” Betty, along with Whitney’s son, George, and Layton’s son, Jared, all followed in a rush.
- Ellie stood up, about to follow, but Layton stopped her. “It’s fine. There are staff members outside keeping an eye on things. Let’s just eat. They’ll come back soon if they can’t find the peacock.”
- Not long after, Jared and George came back. Whitney asked, “Where are Oscar and Betty?”
- George and Jared answered in unison, “They went to chase a cat!”
- “A cat?!” Everyone looked confused.
- Layton stood up with a look of impending doom on his face, ready to leave.
- “Layton!” Nalani twisted Layton’s ear. “Is it Alex’s cat?”
- Layton made a pleading expression, looking at Nalani. “The door is open… Honey, please don’t do this in public.”
- Seeing that the door to the private room was wide open, Nalani quickly let go of Layton’s ear and adjusted his tie.
- “Don’t be mad. Go ahead and enjoy the meal. I’ll go get the kids and deal with that damn cat!” Layton tried to calm Nalani

- down, but just as he sat back down, Betty burst into the room.
- She pointed at George and Jared. “You two, come with me!”
- The two boys jumped up and ran after Betty. Seeing this, Ellie quickly stood up, ready to chase after them.
- “Nothing to worry about. Let me go check,” Layton stopped Ellie again.
- “They’re definitely fighting!” Ellie pushed Layton aside and rushed out of the room to catch up with Betty.
- About ten minutes later, in a corridor of the Earl Hotel’s private club, Ellie found the group of kids surrounded by a few adults. One chubby boy was sitting on the ground, crying, while the rest of them gathered around, watching.

- Ellie pushed through the crowd and saw the boy’s face bruised. With a calm expression, she moved quietly to stand in front of the kids.
- Chapter 597
- As soon as Betty walked in with a serious face, Ellie knew something bad had happened.
- “Are you the parent of these kids?” A young, well–dressed woman pointed directly at Ellie, her tone sharp and unwelcoming.
- Ellie nodded. “Yes, I am.”
- The young woman sneered. “These kids beat my son up. What are you going to do about it?”
- “He deserved it!” Betty stepped forward and kicked the chubby boy hard.
- “How dare you?” The young woman, seeing Betty kick her son in public, raised her hand to slap Betty.
- Just as she was about to touch Betty, Ellie yanked Betty back and shielded her, dodging the blow.
- “Ma’am, if you have an issue, let’s talk it out. Resorting to verbal abuse isn’t right,” Ellie said. She knew Betty was wrong yet she still tried to protect her.
- “I’ll say whatever I want after she beat my son like that. Do yo
- know who
- I am?” The young woman pushed Ellie.
- “How dare you hit my mom? I’ll beat you to death!” Betty, seeing the woman pushing Ellie, broke free from Ellie’s grip and bit the woman’s arm.
- “You must learn from this, you little brat!” The woman, in pain, shook off Betty and was about to strike again when she noticed a group of people approaching from a distance.
- She sobbed dramatically as she approached a middle–aged man named Zachary Wright. “Honey, we were having fun tonight, but look at how these brats bullied us!”
- Zachary was about to roll up his sleeves when Layton stepped forward. “Mr. Wright, who is this lovely lady with you?”
- Zachary’s anger instantly dissipated as he saw Layton: “Uh, Mr. Mosley, she and her son are my
- relatives.”
- Layton said with a disdainful smile, “My mom mentioned that she hasn’t seen Mrs. Wright in a while. How has she been?”
- Zachary bowed obsequiously. “My wife is on vacation abroad. We’ll visit Mrs. Mosley personally next week. Well, this was just a misunderstanding. We won’t bother you anymore, Mr. Mosley. We’ll be on our way.”
- Zachary grabbed the boy with one hand and the young woman with the other, hurrying them away.
- Ellie quietly withdrew her gaze. In the high–society circles, such incidents were nothing new.
- “Who was that man just now, and why wouldn’t you let me speak?” the young woman persisted, only to be yanked into the elevator by Zachary and slapped across the face.
- “That was Layton Mosley, one of the heirs of the Mosley Group. One of those kids is the Mosley family’s grandson. If you want to get yourself fucked, don’t drag me into it!” Zachary said.
- The crowd began to disperse. The kids lined up, standing in front of Layton, Nalani, and Ellie. Layton pointed at them and said, “Alright, tell me what happened here.”
- “Dad, Betty led us here,” Jared began to explain.
- “Traitor!” Jared didn’t get to finish before Betty shot him a glare, silencing him with just a look.
- Layton and Nalani exchanged a glance, both of them speechless.
- Chapter 597
- “Betty, you’re not allowed to speak to Jared like that.” Ellie’s voice was firm as she looked at Betty. “Apologize to him,
- “We swore that whoever broke it was a traitor!” Betty was stubborn, tilting her head and kicking Jared.
- Jared pouted and looked like he was about to cry.
- Betty yelled, “Stop that, you little coward!” Her shout startled Jared who quickly held back his tears.
- “Ellie, your daughter is quite tough,” Nalani said, looking at her useless son with disdain.
- Ellie rubbed her forehead.
- “Since Jared is too scared to speak, Oscar, you tell us,” Layton pointed at George.
- George stepped forward, glancing at Betty. “Betty didn’t make any mistake, and neither did we. It’s the chubby boy who tried to take our cat away. It’s his fault!”
- Nalani asked, “What cat?”
- The kids all pointed to a proud Maine Coon cat not far away.
- Chapter 598
- Alex sat at a booth on the third floor, right by the window, staring at the woman sitting across from him. He was itching to make a move, as if, were it not in public, he could knock the chair over and lean on her.
- Alex said, “Ms. Jefferson, honestly, I’m not asking for much. After we get married, I want eight kids, boys and girls, both
- Scarlett was stunned.
- Alex continued, “I’m not sure if my mom told you, but I’ve been to prison. I spent five whole years there without a woman.
- “If you like me, we’ll marry right away, and as my wife, you’re gonna have to cooperate with me when it comes to… sexual life. If you can’t handle it, I’ll keep mistresses, but you can’t complain about it.”
- Scarlett frowned.
- Alex wasn’t done. “After we get married, you can’t always be running back to your parents‘ place, taking stuff from me to give to them, asking me to help your family financially.”
- Hearing that, Scarlett tried to hold back her anger.
- Alex continued, “Also, I won’t be contributing any money to the wedding, so all the expenses will be on your family. After we get married, we’ll split everything 50/50.
- “We’ll do a pre–marital property agreement, but don’t worry, I may not support you financially, but no matter how many kids you have, I’ll take care of them. Also, you must…”
- “I’m done!” Scarlett’s face turned pale with anger. She picked up her juice and splashed it all over Alex.
- “Mr. Warren,” Barry, seeing Alex drenched in orange juice, was about to step in to help, but Alex stopped him with a raised hand.
- “I like you, Ms. Jefferson. You seem to be a tough woman,” Alex said, sticking his tongue out to lick the juice off his face.
- He then pulled out a comb from his pocket and started brushing his short hair back, the fresh fruit bits falling out with each
- stroke.
- He grinned, giving the creepiest smile. “Ms. Jefferson, if you think something’s off, we can always talk about it. If you behave well after we’re married, I might even give you some money for shopping.”
- Scarlett asked, “How much will you give me?”
- Alex said, “One thousand dollars… no, 700 dollars. It can’t be more than that.”
- “Fuck off!” Scarlett, fuming, started crying while calling her family to complain.
- “Ms. Jefferson, let’s talk this out. I hope we can register for marriage tomorrow and move in together tonight,” Alex said lazily, turning around, only to see a group of people standing nearby.
- His eyes locked with Ellie’s from across the room. Alex froze.
- Ellie finally understood why Layton called him a peacock. That outfit… She had to say that she was amazed by it.
- Seeing the woman next to Alex crying, Ellie sighed.
- She thought, “The girl looks decent, so what is Alex complaining about? He’s been in prison for five years, and now at his age, all he has is just his handsome face. He doesn’t seem to appreciate what he owns!
- Chapter 598
- 11
- Alex saw Ellie frowning more and more, and on reflex, he took a step toward her to explain, but on a second thought, he grabbed Barry over to hide behind him. He pushed Barry forward and retreated to his booth to fix himself up.
- Barry stumbled right in front of Ellie with his hands raised awkwardly above his head. “Dr. Thompson, it’s not what you think.”
- Before Ellie could say anything, Betty tilted her head and asked, “Sir, what was going on?”
- The three little boys chimed in unison, “Yeah, what’s that supposed to mean?”
- Barry hesitated, his words stuck.
- Chapter 599
- “Betty, don’t talk to this gentleman like that,” Ellie shot Betty a warning glance.
- Betty tilted her little head and asked Barry, “You’re not mad, are you?”
- “No, not at all,” Barry quickly waved his hands. He wouldn’t dare get angry with Alex’s daughter.
- Nalani rolled up her sleeves and marched toward Alex and Layton. “You two troublemakers really need a lesson!”
- “Exactly!” Betty rolled up her sleeves, ready to join Nalani, but was quickly pulled back by Ellic.
- +5
- “Hold on, babe,” Layton said, sweet–talking Nalani while blocking her path. He turned to look at Alex, who was hunched over, still checking his face in the mirror and almost went crazy.
- “Stop doing that!” Layton shouted, making Alex stand up.
- Suddenly, a piece of cake flew straight into Alex’s face. The cake dropped from his face to his chest and then to the floor, creamy frosting dripping from top to bottom.
- Alex pointed at the girl who had thrown the cake and was about to go over when Chris hurried over, stepped on the cake, and fell, taking Alex down with him.
- “You’re a jerk! You already have a girlfriend yet you still come to a blind date!” a woman came up and scolded Chris.
- “Exactly! I never asked for anything from you. I just wanted someone honest and kind. However, you told me you were working overtime, and then you ran off to a blind date. Liar!” the girl who had thrown the cake scolded Chris.
- “Don’t get me wrong. The one who came here for the blind date is my boss.” Chris pushed Alex forward and said, “Mr. Warren, you have to explain this to my girlfriend. She has the wrong idea!”
- Alex’s face was covered in white frosting, with only his eyes visible. He pointed at himself and said, “Do you think I can help you right now?”
- Chris was
- speechless.
- “No wonder you work together. It turns out you’re the same kind of people!” Scarlett, who had been on a blind date with Alex, came over and splashed a glass of water from the table onto both of them.
- The three women surrounded Alex and Chris, yelling at them while throwing things. Out of nowhere, a few more women appeared, joining the fray.
- Barry, try
- his best to help Alex up, was immediately pushed down onto Alex’s lap by two women. He was too embarrassed to even lift his head.
- “M
- goodness!” Layton, terrified, stepped back, hiding behind Nalani.
- Seeing the chaos, Nalani thought she didn’t even need to get involved. She just clapped her hands and cheered, using the opportunity to lecture Layton. “See? Men should just stay home and take care of the kids. This is what happens when you mess around!”
- “You’re right, babe,” Layton said, now completely obedient.
- Betty, imitating those women, started clapping along on the side, even reminding them to kick low.
- “Betty!” Ellie quickly stopped her, ushering the kids back to their room.
- Chapter 599
- By the time Ellie returned to the Thompson residence, it was nearly ten o’clock in the evening. After bathing the kids and tucking them in, she spent over an hour making sure they were asleep.
- By the time she finally lay down, she was completely drained. She silenced her phone and collapsed into bed, falling asleep instantly.
- Meanwhile, in the private suite at the Earl Hotel, Alex was lounging in a white bathrobe, lying on the bed, talking to himself as he stared at his phone. “Why aren’t you picking up or texting back? Are you upset after seeing what happened tonight?”
- Suddenly, Alex sat up sharply. He found the right angle and snapped a selfie. Then he sent it to Ellie with a note saying, [I’m still looking good. What you saw tonight was just an accident.]
- Chapter 600
- O
- The next morning at Bondie Private Hospital, Ellie had just changed into her clothes when Alex knocked and walked in.
- Alex was dressed in a sleek black business suit, looking sharp with his side–parted hair styled effortlessly. The only accessory he wore was a limited–edition men’s watch on his left wrist, which was a far cry from the “peacock” from the night before,
- “I’m not on shift. What’s up?” Ellie asked when Alex stepped in without saying anything, just standing there and staring at her. Noticing the dark circles under his eyes, she added, “Did the sleeping pills I gave you last time not work?”
- “You didn’t answer my calls or text back last night.” Alex’s gaze locked onto Ellic, his tone serious.
- “Don’t you need to work, Mr. Warren?” Ellie asked, trying to steer the conversation away from the inappropriate picture Alex had sent her last night.
- Alex frowned. “Don’t change the subject.”
- Ellie glanced at Alex’s business suit and stayed quiet.
- Alex explained, “The picture I sent you last night was closer to how I usually look. As for last night, I…”
- “Mrs. Warren is here!” Before Alex could finish, Barry, in his usual flustered manner, barged in without even knocking.
- “She’s up so early at her age. And how did she follow me here?” Alex scanned himself from head to toe, feeling like Nancy had planted a tracker on him.
- “Ms. Jefferson you went on a blind date with last night–she was so upset when she got home, and she fainted.
- “Mrs. Warren came looking for you this morning and ran into you leaving. She decided to follow you to see if you’re hooking up with a…” Barry whispered, glancing at Ellie and stopping himself before he could say anything more.
- Ellie was about to sit down when Alex crouched down and crawled under her desk. “Help me!”
- “Get out!” Ellie hissed. If Nancy found out Alex was hiding under her desk, no amount of explaining could save her. Just as she was about to bend down and drag Alex out, he grabbed her wrist.
- Alex smirked. “If my mom thinks you’re involved with me, I’ll just tell her you’re the one flirting with me.”
- Ellie was speechless.
- “Barry, where is Alex?” Hearing Nancy’s voice, Ellie quickly let go of Alex’s hands. Nancy appeared at the office door, pointing at Barry.
- “I’m not sure, Mrs. Warren. I was just coming to find Mr. Warren and happened to see Dr. Thompson. I wanted to stop by and say hello,” Barry stammered, not daring to look up.
- Ellie frowned slightly. She thought, ‘Birds of a feather flock together. Once Barry has been hanging around Alex for so long that he has learned to lie.
- “Ellie,” Nancy walked in, greeting Ellie with a smile.
- Alex, still hiding under the desk, heard Nancy call Ellie affectionately. He poked her calf with his finger, but Ellie kicked him lightly, causing him to stop.
- “If you need to talk, I can take you to the lounge,” Ellie offered, trying to get Nancy to leave. However, to her surprise, Nancy didn’t leave. Instead, she walked right up to Ellie’s desk.
- The two were separated by nothing but the desk and Nancy sighed. “Ellie, how are you and the kids doing?”
- Chapter 600
- “Mrs. Warren!” Ellie cut Nancy off before she could continue. “I don’t think I’m that close to you!”
- Nancy was taken aback by Ellie’s cold rejection. Her expression shifted, and with a nervous laugh, she took a step back. “I’m sorry… I overstepped, didn’t I?”
- “If there’s nothing else, I need to get back to work. Please leave.” Ellie gripped her hands nervously at her sides, afraid that Nancy might say something inappropriate.
- “Mrs. Warren, I just saw Mr. Warren get into the elevator,” Barry noticed the awkward tension in the air and, with a wince, threw out another lie.
- “Sorry for taking up your time.” Nancy seemed to remember something, her eyes slightly red as she turned to leave Ellie’s office. She looked back at Ellie several times after walking out.
