EuropeNovelChapter 1078: A slow shake of Giselle's head followed. "I just can't accept it. Life with a mother-in-law like that would be a nightmare. She'd cause every single day. Before long, you'd be exhausted. Take my advice; Darwin is the better choice for you." A faint smile tugged at Brenna's lips. “We'll see." Meanwhile, Elsa arrived at Ethan's house. Shadows filled every corner; the whole house sat in silence. She saw that the place was dark, with no lights on. “No one is here, not even a maid. How could he live like this? He needs someone to take care of him." She punched in the door code and called out, "Elias? Where are you, Elias?" Ethan had recently hired Elias Sutton to cook and handle security for him since the last staff member had quit.
Not a sound echoed back. Elsa made her way inside and flicked on the lights. Her stomach growled as she opened the fridge, only to find nothing inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA search through every caband drawer yielded no food.
Frustrated and hungry, she slammed the fridge shut. “Of course, nothing. I'll have to go out and get something myself." Just outside, not far from the house, her path crossed with Giselle and Brenna again, who were heading hfrom their walk. This time, they couldn't avoid talking anymore.
But Elsa had her pride. She didn't want to be the one starting a conversation with Brenna.
Even with Giselle standing there, Elsa refused to offer any greeting. In her mind, neither Giselle nor Brenna had earned her courtesy or respect.
Chapter 601: Giselle broke the silence first, her voice cool but edged with meaning. "Well, this is unexpected! Are you here to see Ethan?" She made a point of using Ethan's nas if they were old friends, throwing in just enough familiarity to get under Elsa's skin. Although Elsa had never disrespected her directly, she'd never treated her daughter kindly, and Giselle wasn't about to pass up a chance to get revenge for her daughter.
With a faint, knowing smile, Giselle added, "Lately, Ethan's been keeping late hours. If you're waiting for him here, you should know he probably won't be back for a while.” A spark of irritation flashed across Elsa's face. How could someone else be more familiar with her son's schedule than her? The way Giselle spoke made it sound as if she were really close to Ethan.
Online at source: [alnov☐☐A swirl of frustration and envy welled up in Elsa's chest. It stung to think her own son was more familiar with an outsider than her.
Determined not to be outdone, Elsa snapped back, "He isn't hyet, but n't hyet but he will be homesdon. You seem to know my son quite well. Does he spend a lot of tat your house?"
It wasn't that Elsa didn't care about Ethan's life; he just never let her in on what was happening in his life. Hearing about Ethan's schedule from an outsider left her feeling angry and sad at the stime.
Catching the shift in Elsa's expression, Giselle felt satisfied. "He doesn't visit my place very often, just three or four times a week., We see him at breakfast, and sometimes, he drives Brenna to work after having breakfast. Honestly, I'm satisfied with him being my future son-in-law. He looks after Brenna, lends his expertise to my company, and helps my family build new connections. You've raised an exceptional young man."
