?Chapter 916:


    Slowly, Ellie grew weak and surrendered to the passion of the kiss.


    Knock, knock!


    The knock on the door startled Ellie, nearly causing her to slip. Kaiden caught her just in time.


    Ellie felt instant regret. She had forgotten that the kitchen door was see-through!


    Standing outside the kitchen was Glenn, his expression darkened.


    Blushing, Ellie nced down and nudged Kaiden awkwardly. But Kaiden didn’t budge. Holding Ellie firmly, he reassured her, “We’re legally together. What are you afraid of?”


    Ellie was at a loss for words, struggling to find a response to Kaiden.


    Having Ellie in his arms was Kaiden’s subtle response to Glenn.


    The two men locked eyes, and tension mounted in the air.


    Two secondster, when Kaiden was certain Ellie had regained herposure, he released her.


    Embarrassed, Ellie pushed open the kitchen door, avoiding meeting Glenn’s gaze.


    “Glenn…” Ellie hesitated.


    Glenn shot a cold nce towards Kaiden, but his expression softened instantly as he turned to Ellie. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. Katharine and Daniel are here.”


    Ellie nodded absentmindedly, eager to move past the embarrassment. Katharine and Daniel weren’t expected in Critport; they returned hastily upon learning that Carole hade back.


    After reassuring Kaiden, Ellie turned tofort her siblings.


    Before Ellie could find the right words to exin, Kaiden intervened and disclosed Brisa’s existence, along with her bone marrow match with Carole.


    “Hasn’t your mother already…?” Katharine began, clearly taken aback. She quickly realized it was a private matter for the Thorpe family and refrained from probing further.


    Your storytelling begins at g α? ησ ν?? ??s,


    Katharine studied Ellie’s expression and concluded that Ellie understood the situation.


    The Lambert siblings didn’t press for details about why Brisa was still alive and respected Ellie’s decision.


    Now that Ellie had made her choice, there was nothing more for them to say. They hade here out of concern for her, after all, and they fully respected and stood by her decision.


    The Lambert siblings had dinner together at Moon Manor before departing.


    “Carole seems to have all the luck,” Daniel remarked, his toneden with meaning.


    “She’s always been lucky,” Katharine responded, lighting a cigarette. “As a child, she won over Grandpa and entered our family as our sister. Later, through our connection with the Thorpe family, she met Leo and Kaiden. Now, she happens to be a match for the sick Brisa.” They all acknowledged Carole’s fortunate circumstances.


    However, Carole was still dissatisfied with what she had.


    “Glenn, should we just let this slide?” Daniel asked, feeling that their anger hadn’t been properly addressed.
