?Chapter 951:
“They were all purchased by Katharine for me. How do you think they look?” Ellie asked Kaiden, smiling.
She didn’t realize she resembled a child proudly disying a gift received from an elder. She wasn’tcking these items; she could afford them herself, and Kaiden had prepared plenty for her. But the giftsing from her family meant something special.
Thinking about Ellie’s hardships in the Gordon family and how much she valued Cecelia’s apparent care, Kaiden suppressed his jealousy toward Katharine.
“Yes, they’re lovely,” he said, squeezing Ellie’s hand affectionately.
In his opinion, whatever outfits and essories she wore looked great on her. After storing those items in her closet, Ellie began yawning incessantly while taking a shower. Ready to hit the sack, she was stopped by Kaiden, who pulled her into his arms.
“I’m sleepy, Kaiden,” Ellie said softly, her eyes barely open.
“Didn’t you get tired shopping with Katharine?” Kaiden nced at her.
Ellie was at a loss for words. He was right. At the dinner party, she had felt a bit drowsy. Once she left, she perked up and joined Katharine for ate-night shopping spree and snack.
Kaiden pulled out his phone and yed a video he had received two hours earlier.
In the video, Ellie rose gracefully and said, “My husband and I are donating these items! The teacups symbolize harmony and evesting happiness in pairs. And the lovebirds jade screen ornament represents a joyful and blessed life together. I hope you all appreciate them!”
Those words kept reying in Kaiden’s mind as he waited for Ellie’s return. Every word left him visibly delighted.
“Ellie, are you out there doing good deeds for me?” Kaiden teased.
“Can’t I?” Ellie murmured, her eyelids heavy with sleepiness.
“Of course you can do that,” Kaiden replied, unaware Ellie had said those words to upset Carole.
He kissed her cheek and remarked, “Ellie, you’re quite the wealthydy.” She didn’t know how to respond.

It wasn’t until then that Ellie recalled inadvertently revealing another business venture earlier that day. She quickly sobered up.
“Well, it’s nothingpared to your business! Baylee and I invested in that just for fun!”
“Does Marvin know about it?”
Ellie blinked. Maybe he didn’t know.
People assumed Baylee lived a privileged life due to the inheritance left by herte parents. In reality, she invested in numerous industries and earned handsomely over the years.
“You said you and Marvin aren’t close, right? You won’t tell him about this, will you?” Ellie inquired. She reached out, brushing her fingers against his sexy corbone.
A pleasant, ticklish sensation spread from his corbone.
Kaiden allowed her yful touch and said, “You could share a secret with me to keep me quiet.”
Wearing an innocent expression, Ellie replied, “I don’t have any secrets left.” Kaiden appeared skeptical.
“I honestly can’t think of anything else you don’t know,” Ellie said earnestly. “It’s true!”
