?Chapter 825:


    Kaiden, noticing how tight his hand was being held, felt a bit uneasy.


    “Ellie, take a deep breath,” he advised, gently patting her back. “Remember, you’re pregnant.”


    It was this reminder that made Ellie aware of her need to avoid stress. She inhaled deeply, calming herself down.


    Curiosity got the better of her as she asked, “Does Carole know that I am… Elsie?” The name still felt new and strange to her.


    “She hasn’t been told yet.” When Glenn mentioned Carole, his expression turned grim. “She’s around your age. She lost her parents when you went missing, and grandpa took her in as his foster granddaughter. We haven’t really kept in touch with her.”


    It turned out that adopting Carole into the Lambert family was not the right choice, but rather a mistake!


    Ellie just nodded.


    The idea of sharing a family with Carole didn’t sit well with her.


    “Elsie, you’ve been through a lot. It’s on us. It took us forever to find you. We hope you’ll give us a chance.” Katharine noticed that Ellie felt distant from them.


    “It’s not on you,” Ellie said with a half-smile.


    She just wasn’t ustomed to this.


    Suddenly being in the spotlight of so many rtives was overwhelming.


    “It’s a shame dad and mom didn’t get to see you grow up,” Katharine said, her eyes welling up.


    When her parents were mentioned, Ellie’s mind went to the silver ne. Its fine craftsmanship was a testament to the deep love and blessings her elders had for her.


    Kaiden realized Ellie needed time to adjust, so he decided to take her home first.


    “He didn’t even let us share a meal with her.” Glenn watched the two people walking away with a look of dissatisfaction.

    Katharine cast a nce at Daniel and told Glenn, “Daniel had dinner with Elsie a few times because of Susanna.”


    At that, Glenn found himself feeling a sudden dislike for Daniel. Jealousy was to me.


    Ellie preferred to be called Ellie, as she had used that name for years.


    While “Elsie” had a nice ring to it, it felt too unfamiliar.


    She had no ns to change her name.


    It was merely abel.


    Upon her return to Moon Manor, Ellie started to look up thetest on the Lambert family.


    Initially, all she found were reports of the Lamberts being a wealthy, yet understated family, and praises for Carole’s excellence.


    It was only on international websites that she found bits of news about the Lamberts’ decade-long search for their missing daughter.
