Ellena did not take it to heart, but Nicklaus seemed to have come to his senses. He seemed to understand what she meant and got excited. "I know. You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"

Ellena glared at him. Only then did Nicklaus laugh and stop talking the topic.

Ellena came here to see Nicklaus. She wanted to know what had happened between him and Edward.

However, Nicklaus bit his lips tightly and did not say anything. Ellena could not get any information from him, so she did not plan to stay

    Apart from Marilyn, only Spencer was left.Ellena was not surprised that Spencer would do such a thing. She had already expected it in her heart. It was only that she needed to confirm it again for herself. Some people never really changed, no matter how much time passed. Spencer was one of those people.After all, Spencer had used Elaine before. He had treated an innocent child as a tool to reach his own goals. He almost had Elaine… burned to death.When Ellena thought of this, her expression stiffened slightly. The memory was enough to make her chest tighten. She secretly clenched her teeth and forced herself to stay calm. There was no point letting anger show on her face now. What mattered was protecting Elaine and making sure such a thing would never happen again."Mommy, I'm full."Elaine's clear voice pulled Ellena back from her thoughts.She came back to her senses at once. The coldness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by warmth. She smiled at Elaine and said gently, "Come ove

    The messages continued to flood in, a relentless tide of digital noise that made it impossible for Ellena to focus on any single conversation. Names she hadn’t thought of in years blinked onto her screen.The sheer volume was overwhelming. She scrolled rapidly, her thumb a blur, but she couldn't find a single familiar face in the sea of notifications.She gave up on the inbox and tapped directly into her contact list, her eyes searching for one name she could trust implicitly: Chloe.If the world was burning, Chloe would be the first to tell her exactly which way the wind was blowing.She tapped on Chloe’s name and saw that a message had arrived only two minutes ago. Ellena clicked it, her eyes racing across the text.Chloe: "Ellena, words are circling around that you and Edward have a daughter. This news has spread throughout the entire Holston City. I think someone deliberately released this news."Chloe: "I'm going to be on the show soon. It's not convenient for me to call you. Giv

    Paul stood by the door, his hand lingering on the handle. When Ellena finished speaking, he looked momentarily startled, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he quickly composed himself. He offered a small, respectful smile and a brief nod of acknowledgment. "I'll take care of it then, Miss Ellena," he said quietly before stepping out and closing the heavy door behind him with a soft click.The office grew quiet once more. Ellena took a deep breath, trying to shake off the remnants of the conversation she’d had at lunch with Chloe and Martin. She didn't want to carry that heavy, gloomy energy into the lounge where her daughter was resting. Pushing open the door to the inner room, she found the space bathed in the soft, golden light of the early afternoon.Elaine was still tucked under the blankets, a tiny, motionless mound on the oversized sofa. Ellena approached quietly. Elaine was a stickler for routine; she ate her meals with the precision of a clock, and it was already w

    If Edward had nothing to worry about, he would have confronted Spencer head-on long ago.He would never have tolerated Spencer acting so recklessly or allowed him to become increasingly brazen.The moment Spencer realized he could no longer use anyone to threaten Edward, he would naturally lose his leverage. Without that advantage, even Spencer would have no choice but to restrain himself.But Edward did have something he feared losing.That was why he continued to retreat.Ellena had naturally been shocked when she learned what Edward had done.More than shocked, she had been furious.Such a major decision, yet he hadn't discussed it with her.He hadn't even given her the chance to object.Everything had been decided before she knew anything.Yet even so.What could she do?No matter how angry she became, the decision had already been made.Edward had always been this kind of person.F

    Ellena had just brought Elaine to the office when her phone rang.Seeing Martin's name on the screen, she answered immediately."Ellena, I've temporarily suppressed the news on the Internet."She froze for a brief moment. Relief flickered across her face before confusion quickly replaced it."You..."Before she could finish speaking, Martin interrupted gently."Edward contacted me. He asked me to suppress it."Ellena instinctively turned to look at Elaine, who was quietly playing with the plush toy she had brought from home. Not wanting her daughter to overhear, Ellena walked toward the window and lowered her voice."Edward contacted you?""Yes," Martin replied. "He called me last night."There was a brief pause before he added meaningfully, "He also told me to tell you not to worry."A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Ellena's lips."Yes... not worry." Her voice carried an unmistakable trace of sarcasm. "How could I possibly worry?"The words sounded calm, but the resentment she

    Ellena gently stroked Elaine's soft hair.Her movements were slow and comforting, as though she hoped the little girl would not feel too sad.She smiled softly before explaining,"Yes.""There is something very important happening in her family.""So she needs to go back."Her voice was gentle, making the situation sound as natural as possible.Elaine blinked her large eyes.Although she didn't fully understand what "important family matters" meant, she could tell that Aunt Stacy wouldn't be staying with them anymore.After thinking for a moment, she obediently nodded.She didn't ask any more questions.Seeing how sensible Elaine was, Ellena felt both relieved and a little heartbroken.Children often understood more than adults imagined.They simply didn't know how to express it.Meanwhile, although Ellena had agreed without hesitation to let Stacy leave, she knew this matter would brin

    Ellena sat opposite Chloe and was not as optimistic as she was, "That may not be the case." Chloe asked, "Then what do you plan to do next?" "I think I should give him two days to calm down first. When I go back to see Elaine next time, I will think of a way to talk to him. He behav
