?Chapter 1541:


    Ethan gave a small nod, and the two of them stepped out. Neville was waiting at the door with Ethan’s coat, slipping it over Ethan’s shoulders the moment he appeared.


    Inside the elevator, Ethan said to Brenna, “My brother’s ce has been a battlefieldtely. My mother and Rosanna keep shing over how to raise the child, and Kenny’s caught right in the crossfire. It’s been hard on him.”


    His gaze softened as itnded on Brenna. “When we’re married, let’s wait a few years before having kids. Watching my mom, I realize that if we had a baby, she’d insist on taking care of them herself. And if she started arguing with you day after day, we’d lose our peacepletely.”


    Brenna bobbed her head in agreement. “I’m with you on that. Besides, mypany’s swamped right now. I’m about to expand the team and push the animation studio to the top of the industry.”


    The shared understanding brought a lightness to their mood.


    Ethan smiled broadly. “I heard you promoted Joe and Tommy to directors and a few others to managers?”


    “That’s right,” Brenna replied. “The business is growing so quickly that we need more middle management in ce.”


    Pride lit Ethan’s face. “You really are a business genius. You’ve scaled up in no time. Two floors already feel cramped. If you need more space, I can clear a couple of extra levels for you.”


    Brenna shook her head.


    Brenna shook her head. “No need. My new office building will be ready in a few months, and I’ll move the new hires over there.”


    They reached Kenny’s home soon.


    Even from the doorstep, they could hear raised voices and the sharp cries of a baby.

    Ethan pressed the doorbell. Kenny opened the door, his brow drawn tight in frustration. “Finally. You need to talk to Mom. If it’s too much, she doesn’t have to help us take care of our kid anymore. We can’t keep living like this—she’s got to have her way with every little thing. Now I understand why Dad was so determined to divorce her.”


    Elsa stormed over, cheeks flushed with anger. “Ethan, you came at the right time. Get in here and tell me who’s wrong. I’m looking after their child, and they use me of meddling. I’m doing what’s best for them, yet they want me gone!”


    Brenna walked into the living room, offering polite greetings as she set a bundle of gifts down on the coffee table. On the sofa, Rosanna held the baby close, rocking her gently, though her tense expression betrayed her distress.


    “Rosanna, it’s only been a few months, and look how much she’s grown. She’s adorable.” Brenna settled beside Rosanna, her eyes on the plump, healthy baby who was crying at the top of her lungs.
