Although Mark had seen through Jessie's mind for a long time, Ellie had grown up in a greenhouse with
a golden key in her hands. She was more stubborn.
How could she let Mark say that without refuting.
Ellie's beautiful almond eyes widened, and her face instantly darkened. She said seriously, "Mrs. Mark,
what do you mean by that! Yes, I just interrupted you and your sister, but I have apologized to you. Why
do you still hold me. I know you wouldn't have let me live here if it weren't for Jessie. You even thought
that I was pretending to approach you. Do you think that I had an affair with you and had done
something bad to Jessie? You are wrong. I won't have such dirty thoughts no matter how bad I am. You
are an excellent man and many women expect you to be, but I will never fall in love with a man like
you. You are arrogant. Do you really think that people will stick to you when they see you? I disdain
you. Humph! "
With a bang, the door was slammed shut. Ellie was furious and her face turned red.
'I don't like you. You are a self righteous man!
No matter how bad I am, I won't give it to you! How dare you threaten me? You thought I was afraid of
you?
It was you who asked me to move in, not me begging you to let me in. Since you protected Jessie so
much, why did you still allow me to move in?
You had to play the former role and the latter role!
Bah!'
The more Ellie thought about it, the angrier she became. Without saying anything, she went back to her
room, picked up her only small bag and went downstairs.
Seeing Ellie walking towards the door angrily, Grace immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss
Ellie, where are you going? The dinner is about to begin. "
Ellie said angrily, "It's none of your business! All of you are hypocritical. You said you were good to me,
but you turned around and disliked me. I know I'm a person who has been in prison and has never read
any books or education. Just bully me. "
"……" Grace looked at her awkwardly. How could Ellie be like a shrew at such a young age. She had
no choice but to persuade her, "Miss Ellie, did you misunderstand something? Why don't you sit down
and have a good talk? "
As Grace spoke, she waved to the servants behind her, motioning for her to go upstairs to find Mr.
Mark and Mrs. Jessie.
"Have a good talk? Did he give me a chance to talk nicely? I can't live with these arrogant people. You
don't have to worry about me. Let me live and die alone. " Then, Ellie shook off Grace's hand and
walked out.
When Jessie got the news and went downstairs, Ellie had already left. With an anxious look on her
face, she immediately ran to the study and pulled Mark to chase after her.
"Don't worry about her. She'll be back soon," said Mark
"She will come back? If you hadn't scolded her, would she have left? She had just been released. It
was often said on TV and newspapers that this kind of person who had just been released, if he
couldn't get enough warmth and confidence, it was easy to be with those people again. Although she is
twenty years old, she has never experienced anything. She is still ignorant. "
Jessie was so worried about Ellie that she didn't even have the time to ask why Mark would scold her.
In Jessie's heart, she thought that Ellie was at the most critical moment. No matter what happened, she
couldn't be too emotional. Even if she didn't do well, she could only teach her slowly.
However, Mark didn't think so.
Mark held her hand and said earnestly, "I know she is in a special period. We should help her take care
of her, but don't forget that you are her only family. You also have the responsibility to teach her. You
can't indulge her all the time. She is no longer an innocent girl. She should learn to be independent and
think with her brain. Do you want to protect her until she is eighty years old? "
"I... But anyway, you can't leave her alone outside. " Even though Jessie couldn't persuade Mark, she
didn't have any words to retort. However, the worry in her heart couldn't be worn out.
Finally, at the insistence of Jessie, Mark chose to compromise.
The two of them drove the car and looked around while walking. The villa of Mark was located at the
seaside, and it was a long distance from the city center. They didn't know whether Ellie had money or
not, and whether she had a phone or not. The two of them looked around like flies with blind heads.
After searching for two hours, they still couldn't find any trace of Ellie. Feeling that it was not a good
way to go on like this, Mark said directly, "how about we go back first? I'll ask Nick to bring people out
to look for her."
"Why should we go back? Even if they come out to look for her, we can still look for her. "
"It's late now. Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. If I can't find Ellie, I won't be able to eat even if I go back. "
"……"
Mark was speechless. He couldn't understand what was on Jessie's mind. For her, Ellie was just a
stranger. She and her mother even killed her mother, not directly, but indirectly. How could she care so
much about Ellie.
As for Mark, he only cared about her. He had done so much for her, but she had never cared about him
so much. The balance in Marl's heart was obviously out of balance.
All of a sudden, Mark turned the steering wheel and saw the car turn around at once. In surprise,
Jessie looked at him and said, "What are you doing? We are going to the city center."
"Go home!" He said two words coldly. He was in no mood to talk to her anymore.
"No, I'm going to look for Ellie."
At the foot of a sudden step on the brake, Jessie immediately rushed forward, scared her heart beating
uneasily.
As soon as Jessie came to her senses, she scolded, "Mark, what are you thinking about? If you are
angry, just vent your anger on me. I only have one sister. If you don't like her, I can go with her."
Biting his teeth tightly, Mark didn't say a word. His eyes, which were full of anger, could clearly see that
he was angry!
Knowing that she had said something wrong to displease him, Jessie turned her head stubbornly. The
tense atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to the freezing point.
The dead silence was suffocating.
After a long while, Mark said in a low voice, "You choose one between Ellie and me. Do you want her
or me?"
Suddenly, Jessie turned around, looked at Mark in astonishment, and questioned, "What do you mean
by saying that choose one between you two? Mark, is this how you treat me well? "
