Ellie sat next to Alex, quietly eating and chatting with Nancy.

Nancy kept piling food onto Ellie's plate. "Ellie, let's invite Alex's fiancée over in a few days and have dinner together," she suggested.

"Sure." Ellie suddenly tightened her grip on her fork, forcing a small smile. Of course, she knew exactly who Nancy meant by "Alex's fiancee." She was secretly relieved that her feelings for Ales weren't known by everyone; otherwise, it would have been so embarrassing.

Ellie stood up to take the soup Nancy had prepared for her, thinking, 'One day, I'll go back to where I started and O see Alex as just a brother. Watching him happy won't hun me. Instead, I'll only have good wishes for him:

Todd, Nancy, I've finished eating. I'll step outside to take a call, Ellie said. Feeling uneasy under Alex's intense gaze, she quickly finished her soup and made an excuse to leave the dining room.

Alex noticed that Ellie's plate was clean, except for the piece of fish he had given her. It felt like something Diver was blocking his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He picked up the fork and ate the fish. After everyone had finished lunch, Ellie went to say goodbye to Carlos and got ready to leave.

"Alex, could you drive Ellie back? Nancy suggested, holding Ellie's hand as they walked to the door.
