?Chapter 785:


    It was Brisa’s first time down there, and her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked around.


    Ellie took the opportunity to ask, “Are you happy here, Mom?”


    “Of course I’m happy! How could I not be happy when I’m living with such a brilliant son and a sweet and gorgeous daughter-inw?”


    “Then why don’t you stay with us permanently?” Ellie suggested. “When Kaiden and I have children, you’ll get to see them every day. Wouldn’t that be great?”


    Ellie was aware that Kaiden’s rtionship with Brisa was far from the typical mother-son bond. His decision to bring Brisa to Moon Manor was motivated solely by a desire to protect her, to prevent her from being exploited as leverage against him. Ultimately, however, it would be Brisa’s choice whether to stay or not.


    Kaiden could have incorporated Brisa into his life much earlier had sheplied long ago.


    “Absolutely!” Brisa eximed, her voice warm with affection. “As long as you young ones don’t find me a burden!”


    Ellie’s relief was palpable, though she concealed it well. Her smile, genuine and bright, finally blossomed on her cheeks.


    The venue Marvin selected for the gathering was Rich Bar, a ce of elegance and exclusivity.


    “Looks like you’re earning your boyfriend’s money, huh?” Ellie whispered to Baylee, a teasing lilt in her voice.


    Baylee responded with a nonchnt shrug. “The top two bars in Critport belong to us, Rich Bar and your husband’s Heart Ind Club. It makes more sense to keep the business within us rather than funnel profits to your husband.”


    Ellie responded with an approving thumbs-up. “Precisely!”


    Marvin had invited a significant number of guests. It was unusual for him to adopt such a high-profile approach for personal events. The women present couldn’t help but tease Baylee about Marvin’s apparent favoritism. Those who had been eagerly anticipating Marvin and Baylee’s separation were forced to hold their tongues.


    g?lnσν???s．c????, a world of tales


    Spotting a familiar face in the crowd, Ellie turned to Baylee and asked, “Would it be alright if I invited Flossie over?”


    Understanding Ellie’s intent as she followed her gaze to Levy, Baylee agreed without hesitation, “Of course.”


    Upon receiving Ellie’s call, Flossie’s immediate agreement was tinged with excitement. Ellie could hear the happiness in her voice and sighed to herself.


    Flossie, who had been preupied with reviewing experimental data, began frantically choosing an outfit as soon as the call ended. In her rush, she opted for a floral dress, quickly applied makeup, and regretted not maintaining her skincare routine more diligently.


    It wasn’t until she was on her way that she realized she had forgotten Levy’s clothes, prompting a hasty return to fetch them.


    She had never felt this flustered, not even when traveling abroad to ept international awards.
