Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 1701-1710
Selena couldn’t stand losing to Ellen. She commented harsh words under the video; every one of them was scolding Ellen. Then, she felt it wasn’t enough and snarled. “Ellen, you b*tch! I will never forgive you.”
Her voice shocked the girls, and they all looked at her. One of the girls frowned and said, “She is criticizing Ellen!”
Immediately, Selena smirked coldly and replied, “That’s right. I’m badmouthing the chess champion, Ellen. She is a b*tch, yet you guys admire her. This is just ridiculous.”
“Are you crazy?!”
“Yeah. She must be crazy from being jealous. Let’s go.”
When Selena heard their words, she glared at them angrily, and the girls left. Ellen must have won the championship by bribing. I need to find evidence of her cheating! Then, she will be thrown off the crown. I’m going to destroy her, even if it means I will ruin my life, thought Selena as she gritted her teeth.
Then, she took out her phone and called Olivia. “Have you seen the news about Ellen, Mom? It’s ridiculous that she is a chess champion,” Selena said with contempt,
“I know. Just ignore her and live our own lives,” replied Olivia.
“I went to jail for over a year because of her, Mom. Do you think I will let her get away with it?”
“What are you going to do, Lena?”
Hearing Olivia’s words, Selena quickly reacted and said, “I’m not going to do anything, Mom. I just hate her.”
“Don’t do anything stupid. You just got out of jail.” Olivia reminded her.
After Selena promised to Olivia, she searched for people connected to the chess tournament. Then, she saw the judge who was in charge of Ellen’s match. She decided that she was going to investigate to see whether Ellen had won fair and square.
On the other hand, after Ellen had finished the interview, she texted Jared. ‘Do you have any free time tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner.’ She wanted to buy him dinner since she still felt guilty about her sudden departure.
Just as she had sent the text, Jared immediately called her. Ellen was startled, but she soon answered the call. “Hello.”
“I’ll choose the place,” Jared said.
Ellen was cool with it. No matter how expensive it would be, she decided to pay. “Sure. Let’s meet up at 5.30PM.”
During the past year, she had managed her finances well, so she should be able to buy him a meal or two at a fancy restaurant.
“Sure. See you at 5.30PM, then.” Jared smiled on the other end of the phone.
As Ellen returned to her room, she searched the gossip about her and Jared. When she saw the articles, she was shocked. After all, their names were everywhere. Looking at it, she wondered if the media had overdone it. She was embarrassed to see how they had praised her. Initially, she didn’t want to be high profile, but as long as her name was bonded with Jared, it would go viral.
Then, she returned to her room and got some calls from her friends. She was embarrassed. She didn’t want to admit it, but gossip about her and Jared was everywhere. However, she couldn’t bring herself to admit it since this was the first time they had met after one year of departure. She needed time to sort it out!
When it was 5.30PM, there was a knock on Ellen’s door. She opened it and saw Jared standing there. Since she was also ready, they entered Jared’s car and headed to the restaurant. Jared was curious about her life.
“Why did you go to Brownsville?”
“It’s the Home of Chess, which is also my mentor’s hometown.”
“When did you learn to play chess? You never told me about it.”
“I started when I was seven. At first, I was just watching the others playing. The person who first taught me was also my mentor. Since Grandma loves to play poker, I would accompany her to the park. From preschool to high school, I spent most of my time at the park. After seeing it for such a long time, I just took an interest in it.” Ellen used to think of it as a hobby. However, after encountering Brook, he encouraged her, which made her work hard for it and go to the rank match.
“That’s great,” praised Jared earnestly as he looked over at her.
Ellen was glad to hear that, but she replied humbly, “Thank you, I’ll continue to treat my hobby as my career and further develop it.”
“You have my support.” He then looked at her with a deep gaze. “I’ll support you in whatever you do in the future.”
Ellen blushed upon hearing that; she wasn’t sure whether he was offering support as a friend or as someone beyond that. “Why did you post such a comment on social media?” Ellen asked.
“I’m speaking the truth. Is there anything wrong with it?”
“But we…”
“Do you think that you aren’t my girlfriend anymore just because we have been separated for a year? We haven’t officially broken up, you know.” Jared spoke in displeasure.
Ellen’s face flushed red and became hot instantly when she heard his remarks. She wound the car window down to get some air, not knowing how to answer him. After a brief pause, she replied shyly, “Alright!”
Upon hearing her reply, Jared smiled since it was the answer he wanted from her. “What about you? Have you been in contact with any guys in the past year?” Jared started fussing about it since he wanted to know how she felt about him.
“Nope.” She shook her head.
“Did anyone try courting you?” he asked again.
This time round, she didn’t shake her head but replied honestly, “Yeah, but I rejected his advances.”
“In the future, you should announce that you are taken.” Jared scoffed, still feeling jealous about it.
“Don’t be so domineering!” She chuckled.
“Do you blame me for not looking for you the past year?” he asked again.
“I don’t.” She shook her head. After all, she had written to Jared and told him not to look for her to give her some space and freedom.
“I knew that you’d be back. I had a feeling that you’d return for sure.” He revealed to her his thoughts in the past year. The reason he didn’t go looking for her was that he was waiting for her to return.
Tears welled up in her eyes upon hearing that. Does he really think that way?
“After dinner, I’ll bring you somewhere. You’ll love it.”
“Where is it?” she asked curiously.
“You’ll find out later on.”
As soon as they reached the upscale steakhouse, which was Ellen’s favorite restaurant, she told him about the house she had gotten in town. It came with a garden, which was how she imagined her dream house to be.
“If there’s a chance, I’d like to go take a look. Perhaps I’ll even stay a few nights there.” He was already looking forward to it.
“Sure!” She welcomed the idea.
It was only 8.30PM when their dinner ended. Following that, Jared drove Ellen in his car. The further they drove, the more familiar her surroundings looked.
Isn’t this where my house used to be? She even remembered that she had deliberately come over to look at it once before. “Why are you taking me here?”
“Take a guess.” He smiled.
However, nothing came to mind, so she could only wait for him to bring her there. As soon as Jared parked his car at a luxurious car park, he asked her to get out of the car. Then, the both of them took the elevator before heading over to the penthouse.
“Did you move here?” she asked.
After Jared opened the door, he stretched his hand out and made a welcoming gesture. “I designed this place, especially for you.”
Upon walking into the unit, Ellen was shocked. As she looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she noticed the dazzling city lights and realized that she was within the central location of New Town. After giving it some thought, she looked up and asked, “No way. Is this location where my house used to be?”
“You’re right. This is where your house used to be, so I built you a house in the same spot. Do you like it?” he asked earnestly.
She was overwhelmed by emotions upon hearing that. The next moment, she walked toward him and wrapped her arms around his waist before burying her face in his chest. She couldn’t find the words to express herself. With that, Jared tightened his embrace around her and planted a kiss on the top of her head as he relished the long-awaited hug.
“Thank you.” Ellen didn’t know he had done so much for her, which made her feel guilty for leaving him.
I’ve gotten you a house!” Jared looked down and said in a raspy voice.
nodded. “Alright, I won’t be leaving anymore.” Now, she had a home within the city. Jared smiled when she accepted his gift, and from today onward, this would be their home. After Ellen was given a tour around the duplex that spanned almost 10,000 square feet,
