Terry was caught between his friend and his girlfriend, unable to favor either side.


    L''s gaze lingered on Yelena briefly before she said, "Eat while it''s still hot. If you need anything, feel free to contact me again."


    She nodded and was about to leave when the ward''s door suddenly opened.


    Terry froze for a second and sat up. "Mr. Morgan is here as well?"


    Yelena recognized Kieran, and her eyes sparkled with admiration.


    All she remembered from theirst brief encounter was that he was good-looking.


    But now, seeing him up close, she could tell he was a real gem.


    Earlier, when Terry hadmented that he was more "outstanding", Yelena had assumed he was referring to L.


    But now, seeing Kieran''s refined outfit and his noble,posed presence, it was clear that he came from a prestigious family.


    His status was likely even higher than Terry''s.


    Her gaze shifted, and she approached Kieran with a gentle smile.


    "Hello, I''m Yelena. We met brieflyst time, and I didn''t get a chance to greet you properly."


    L had parted her lips to speak but only spoke after Yelena. "Kieran, what brings you up here?"


    Saying his name directly still felt strange to her, but she pushed through, looping her arm through his.


    Yelena''s malice probably came from thinking L''s bond with Terry was something extraordinary.


    If she saw L being close to Kieran, she''d probably feel more at ease.


    Kieran didn''t spare Yelena a nce, his focus entirely on L, his eyes darkening slightly.


    He had never realized how pleasing it could be to hear L say his name.


    "You left in a hurry and forgot something."


    Yelena''s face betrayed a flicker of emotion when she was ignored.


    L certainly knew how to tter any man.


    Sensing the mood shift, Terry assumed Yelena was upset because Kieran had ignored her. But in his case, this wasn''t umon.


    He wasn''t impolite; it was just that someone in his position was hard to approach.


    Before Terry could speak, Kieran


    raised his gaze. "Ms. Griffin, I apologize for the interruption. You may continue here, but I will take L and leave now. If there''s anything else, contact my assistant, and he will handle it."


    "Okay, okay," Terry hurriedly agreed.


    Yelena showed disdain for L just moments ago, but now she smiled warmly. "Since you''re here, why not stay for a while? I''ve prepared a fruit tter."


    She beamed as she brought a te of fruit over from the nearby table. "You''re Terry''s friends, so I''m sure he''d want you guys to stay longer."


    Kieran smirked, his voiceced with amusement. "Is that so?"


    Terry was caught off guard.


    Kieran and he weren''t even considered acquaintances.


    But, of course, he still went with it. "Staying a little longer is fine, sure."


    It would be better if they left sooner.


    Yelena nodded eagerly. If Kieran stayed, she''d have more chances to talk to him.


    Terry was the man she had carefully chosen, but if it were Kieran...


    And besides, how was she any worse than L?


    In terms of looks, L was indeed more stunning. However, in terms of family background, L was an orphan, while she, though not from great wealth, came from a well-off,plete family.


    As for being considerate and caring, she was clearly more so than L.


    Yelena could tell from L''s fair hands that she was the type who couldn''t handle anything.


    She had even looked L up online-this person had been with her ex for years. After all that time, atman wouldn''t find it repulsive to be with a "worn shoe"?


    On the other hand, she was still pure.


    With these thoughts boosting her confidence, Yelena''s smile grew wider as she


    She grabbed a chair for herself. "Please, sit down."
