?Chapter 739:


    Ellie, miffed, sat up to scold him. “You are such a tease!”


    But Kaiden drew her back, nting a kiss on her forehead. “Let’s head to bed,” he thought to himself. “Thank you, love.”


    In the days that followed, the incident with Jorge went undiscussed by Ellie and Kaiden.


    Ellie found herself the subject of lighthearted teasing from her juniors after ss.


    “Ellie, your husband didn’te today?”


    Ellie offered a smile in response but chose not to reply, making her way to the faculty lounge instead.


    There, Kaiden was engaged in a phone call.


    With a quick “okay,” he ended the call.


    Ellie was about to express that Kaiden needn’t shadow her daily when he inquired, “Got nster?”


    “Eh, no,” Ellie replied.


    “Let’s do something enjoyable.”


    Susanna, who had hoped to extend an invitation herself, let out a sigh of resignation. Another attempt thwarted!


    After parting ways with Ellie, Susanna dialed Daniel toment hertest unsessful attempt at arranging a dinner.


    Daniel, already expecting as much,mented, “With the Thorpe family in such disarray, it’s understandable that Kaiden and Ellie are preupied.”


    “Daniel, you seem overly concerned about Ellietely. You wouldn’t be harboring inappropriate thoughts, would you? Remember, Ellie is a married woman!”


    Daniel found himself at a loss for words, wishing he could decipher Susanna’s thoughts.


    As Jorge’s condition worsened without signs of improvement, the Thorpe family found themselves in need of leadership. Consequently, the senior members gathered to decide who would act as the family’s interim head. Kaiden was among thest to arrive, with the room already hosting nearly thirty attendees.

    Two chairs were designated at the table’s head; one was upied by Talon, the other was reserved for Kaiden.


    Ellie, unknowing of the meeting’s purpose, apanied Kaiden into the room, her presence drawing quiet attention from those gathered.


    Confounded, Ellie was seated beside Talon by Kaiden. Her mouth fell open, feeling utterly bewildered.


    Was this… Kaiden’s notion of “something enjoyable”?


    Talon remarked, revealing his irritation, “Kaiden, surely today’s discussion on family matters isn’t appropriate for Ellie. She has no ce here.”


    His intention was clear: to challenge Kaiden by questioning Ellie’s presence.


    “Indeed!” chimed in several others, in agreement.


    Kaiden, his hand casually resting on Ellie’s chair, countered, “My wife is the owner of a private ind and a helicopter. Can any of you im the same? Who here is qualified to question her presence?”
