?Chapter 1087:


    “Wasn’t it?” He thought for a moment. “He was wearing a mask, so I didn’t see his face. But as a fashion designer, I’d never mistake your man’s figure—it’s too perfect for a male model. And who else but your husband could have such amanding presence that makes people stiffen up?” Freddy had strong opinions about Kaiden.


    When they heard this, June and May exchanged surprised looks.


    It seemed Ellie was already aware that it was Kaiden who had helped her.


    Ellie’s left hand, resting on her thigh, tightened into a fist without her noticing.


    Initially, she had thought Edwin was the one who had helped her,


    But Edwin wouldn’t have spoken in such a steady voice or guided her to stomp on Akira’s foot so urately, without hesitation.


    And the only person Edwin would be willing to y along with like that was Kaiden.


    Her instincts were correct. From the moment she had stepped out of the car, Kaiden had been keeping an eye on her.


    By the time Kaiden returned, Ellie had already gone to bed.


    May whispered, “Mr. Thorpe, Mrs. Thorpe realized you were at the venue tonight.”


    Kaiden wasn’t surprised. “I know.”


    As soon as Ellie mentioned, “You’re not Edwin,” Kaiden knew she had figured out who he was.


    His wife had always been sharp.


    Kaiden was aware that Ellie still resented him. So, even though he showed up, he made sure not to engage with her directly, hence the mask.


    Well, the mask fooled everyone else, but not Ellie, even though she couldn’t see at all.


    Kaiden gazed at the closed master bedroom door, remembering the half bowl of soup he had drunk, his attractive Adam’s apple moving as he swallowed.


    He felt uneasy.


    He wanted to enter the room and kiss Ellie, to taste her once more with genuine passion.


    Sighing, he wasn’t sure how much longer he could hold back.


    Tonight, Twitter was buzzing with activity more than usual.


    Initially, everyone was discussing the scandal involving Briggs and Akira, but since Akira wasn’t a celebrity and Briggs was just an overweight middle-aged man, the gossip wasn’t very exciting.


    Suddenly, Ellie’s name shot up the trending list.


    Everyday users online were already familiar with Ellie. Before clicking, they all wondered if it would be about her blindness, updates on her life as a wealthy woman, or rumors involving her and Kaiden. But it turned out to be none of those.


    A video clip of Ellie at the event was posted, leavingizens astonished.


    “Top designer Freddy personally picked up Ellie. Edwin assisted with her dress. Omiros was there for support. What kind of charm collector is Ellie?”


    “I’ve never seen the usually arrogant Omiros so deferential. @Omiros, blink if you need help.”


    “Ellie is truly powerful. How does she manage to outshine everyone and respond so gracefully? I want to learn.”


    “To do that, you first need Ellie’s beauty and grace.”
