Love's Tangled Web by Donna Taylor

Chapter 406

During lunch, Alex kept fussing over Ellie. He sometimes handed her tissues, sometimes peeled shrimp for her, and kept asking if her food was too hot or cold, which made Ellie feel super awkward–she didn’t know whether to eat.

Alex’s parents were even more uncomfortable. They couldn’t stand watching their son act like this, but they had no choice.

After lunch, Alex always followed Ellie around, hopping everywhere. Eventually, he got tired and went back to his room to

rest.

After a nap, he was as energetic as ever. “Where is she?” Alex asked as soon as he woke up.

“Ms. Thompson is in the garden with Mr. Carlos Warren tending to the orchids,” Evan replied.

Seeing Alex about to hop down the stairs again, Evan quickly stepped forward to support him. “Mr. Warren, please be careful. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Alex’s leg might not be in the best shape, but he was still as lively as a zombie king, always bouncing around.

The night before, a servant had walked past the garden and glanced up at Alex’s window, only to be scared to faint.

In the garden, Alex saw Ellie and Carlos near the greenhouse entrance. Alex felt he moved so slowly with the support of Evan and decided to hop forward by himself.

“Mr. Warren, be careful,” Evan warned, but it was too late. Alex hopped onto a stone next to the artificial pond and lost his balance.

With a splash, Alex fell into the pond, landing in a rather undignified position.

“Good–for–nothing.” Carlos weakly glanced over.
