?Chapter 394:


    Ellie was momentarily taken aback.


    “Are you not going with me?” Kaiden extended his hand and yfully pinched Ellie’s face. “Mrs. Thorpe, you agreed to apany me, and now you’re still not happy? You’re truly hard to please.”


    Hard to please?


    Ellie’s ears involuntarily blushed a rosy hue.


    Kaiden had uttered those words justst night.


    He frequently remarked that she proved challenging to satisfy during their passionate moments together.


    Ellie wouldin about the pace being too swift, express difort from kneeling, and im she was fatigued after a while.


    Indeed, she was a tough one to please.


    “What’s on your mind, Ellie?” Kaiden’s teasing words snapped her back to reality, prompting her to lock eyes with him.


    He had discerned her thoughts.


    “You’re exasperating!” Ellie vented her frustration, yfully pping his shoulder and whispering through gritted teeth.


    A nce at Bruce left her with a twinge of guilt.


    Unfazed by the routine banter, Bruce wore a stoic expression that might as well have proimed deafness.


    Speechless, Ellie felt her temperature rising once again.


    “How did you learn about tonight’s wee party?” Kaiden inquired.


    “Someone extended the invitation to me.” Ellie chose not to reveal the person who invited her and asked, “Do you have any objections to my attendance?”


    Kaiden struggled to follow her train of thought. Since he had already agreed to her being hispanion, he couldn’t understand why he would have any objections to her being there. Ellie sensed his confusion and probed, “Why didn’t you explicitly mention that you wanted me there?”


    With a sigh, Kaiden inquired, “Aren’t you not acquainted with Carole?” He hadn’t brought it up, presuming she wasn’t acquainted with Carole. Ellie took a moment to recall her somewhat fuzzy statement from the night before.

    It’s not that she wasn’t acquainted with Carole. She was simply irritated by her.


    “I wasn’t acquainted with her before, but today presents a favorable opportunity to be acquainted.” Ellie added, “Of course, if therees a day when I’m no longer Mrs. Thorpe, I won’t be inclined to familiarize myself with your friends.”


    They paused before a Rolls Royce Phantom, Kaiden’s preferred vehicle for the day.


    Bruce had already opened the car door, but Ellie noticed Kaiden, in his wheelchair, remaining still.


    Turning back, she locked eyes with his silent, stern gaze.


    The gaze held an intensity that was both captivating and startling. Before she could inquire about the sudden change, Kaiden swiftly stood up, pressing her against the car. The car door shut with a resounding bang.
