?Chapter 1379:


    But Ethan and Kenny weren’t convinced. They both shook their heads, and Ethan told Brenna, “Trust me, after nearly three decades as her sons, we know her too well. Change isn’t really her thing.”


    “You never know.” Brenna shrugged, refusing to give up hope. “I’d give it maybe a ten percent chance she has changed. Miracles can happen.”


    Ethan and Kenny exchanged nces and had to admit that Brenna might be right.


    Byte afternoon, Brenna and Ethan were ready to leave. Elsa hesitated, reluctant to let go of the baby, but finally handed the child back and left with Ethan.


    Ethan drove Elsa home.


    Silence filled most of the car ride, but as they neared her ce, Elsa finally spoke to Brenna. “That outfit you picked out for me is fantastic. I’ve been wearing it nonstop. Next time youe by, could you bring a couple more from the same designer? The clothes they designed are sofortable and stylish.”


    Brenna recognized the olive branch in Elsa’s request. With Elsa’s pride, even a smallpliment was a big step, so Brenna made sure to give her an easy out. “Of course, that’s no problem at all. Just so you know, though, my friend who designs them is pregnant and not taking on much worktely. If you want more, you might have to wait a bit.”


    Elsa frowned, thinking Brenna was using an excuse to refuse her.


    To avoid any misunderstanding, Brenna pulled out her phone and showed Elsa a photo of Ellie, the designer, heavily pregnant.


    “See? She’s almost eight months along now. Her husband, my colleague, insists she takes it easy. But if you need the clothes urgently, I can always ask if she’s up for a small rush order.”


    After seeing the photo, Elsa was finally convinced. “There’s no need to trouble her. I wouldn’t ask a pregnant woman to work. I’m fine with waiting.”

    Brenna let out a quiet sigh of relief. “I actually know a few other designers. If you want, I can order some outfits from them for you in the meantime.”


    Elsa nodded. “That sounds good.”


    With that settled, Ethan nced at them through the rearview mirror and noticed they were having a pleasant conversation. He suddenly believed that Elsa was really changing.


    “Mom, do you still want to teach at Shirie University? If you’re interested, I can call the principal and make the arrangements,” he said.


    Elsa’s face lit up. “Absolutely! I’m tired of all those dance groups with the retirees. I’d rather go back to teaching and actually do something worthwhile.”


    After dropping Brenna off at her ce, Ethan headed to the office, as he had a dinner meeting to attend. Hector hade to Vand for a while and wanted to catch up, but Ethan had been avoiding him recently.<fna41f> Latest content published on Find1Novel</fna41f>


    He figured now was as good a time as any to meet him. Gracie had resigned and started working for the Chapman Group, and Hector seemed to be making things difficult for her. Ethan suspected Hector had real feelings for Gracie, even if he didn’t realize them yet.
