?Chapter 969:


    “Are you mad?” Kaiden yfully pinched Ellie’s cheek.


    “It looks like the cut isn’t too bad.”


    Ellie turned her head away, casting a cool nce at his arm wound.


    “It’s okay,” Kaiden whispered in her ear. “If you’re not pregnant, even with this wound, it wouldn’t affect our intimate moments.”


    Ellie’s eyes widened in disbelief as she clenched her teeth and pushed his face away. “Kaiden!”


    How dare he flirt with her while she was still upset with him!


    Taking her hand, Kaiden asked, “Are you angry because Carole hugged me, or because I got hurt?”


    Avoiding eye contact, Ellie stayed silent.


    Kaiden assumed she was upset about both incidents.


    He felt d that she was concerned about him because he was injured. He believed his injury had itspensations.


    But he couldn’t utter his thoughts, or she’d be even angrier.


    Kaiden exined, “Carole mistook me for my brother. She didn’t intend to hug me. She was agitated and confused.”


    That was what Kaiden had learned on his way to the hospital.


    Brisa felt sorry for Carole due to her distressing mental state.


    As Brisa’s own mental state improved, she empathized with those who were distressed and struggling.


    Ellie nced up in surprise.


    The incident involving the scandalous nude photos would deeply impact the women involved, yet Ellie hadn’t anticipated that Carole could be struggling with serious mental health issues.


    “She mistakes you for your brother. What if she wants to marry you?” Ellie snorted, still harboring resentment toward Carole.

    “Come on,” Kaiden yfully tapped Ellie’s head. “I’m your husband. Bigamy is illegal.”


    Ellie gave him a quick nce.


    Earlier, Kaiden had pushed Carole away from himself, and Ellie was pleased with how he had handled the situation. She chose to forgive and forget.


    Considering Carole’s upbringing in the Lambert household, Ellie decided to contact Katharine. However, Katharine’s secretary informed her that Katharine was currently in a meeting.


    Next, Ellie called Glenn, who oversaw the Lambert family affairs.


    She briefed Glenn about Carole’s situation. Before Ellie could inquire about his ns for Carole, Glenn eagerly interjected, “You visited her? Have you encountered any trouble? Why did you go? Did Kaiden ask you to do that? I’ve told you before, marrying this man was a mistake.”


    ncing at Kaiden beside her, Ellie was momentarily speechless.


    The room was quiet. Kaiden sat nearby. Glenn’s voice was loud, and Ellie wasn’t sure if Kaiden had overheard.


    “Glenn, I didn’t encounter any trouble. I came because I wanted to. Don’t worry,” Ellie reassured him.
