?Chapter 529:


    She came to see Louis? Elena raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. Kiera was quiet and shy, rarely leaving the Johnson family vi, let alone venturing into such a busy ce. Yet, here she was, all because of Louis.


    Louis noticed Kiera’s ears flush and exined, “I suggested shee out. It’s not healthy to be isted all the time.”


    Elena observed the pair quietly. There was a noticeable connection between Louis and Kiera.


    In a yful gesture, Louis reached out and gently pinched Kiera’s cheek, causing her to look up abruptly. She then covered her face and stepped back, her bashfulness obvious. Startled, she immediately hid behind Elena.


    Louis’s fingers clenched slightly, the soft, delicate feel of Kiera’s cheek lingering in his touch. It was incredibly smooth. “Why the rush? I’m not going to harm you,” he said.


    Kiera, overwhelmed by shyness, remained silent.


    Turning to Elena, Louis asked, “Are you ready to head back to Hillside Manor?”


    “Yes,” Elena nodded.


    Louis grabbed his car keys and said, “I’ll drive us back.”


    Just before stepping out of the car, Elena turned to Louis and said firmly, “Don’t tell Mom and Dad. I’ll take care of it.”


    Elena had already made up her mind. She would visit Gerald soon and see what she could find out. If there was no news about her mentor, then she would repay Wesley’s kindness by cutting ties with him for good.


    Ever since Lydia got hurt, Elena had been too preupied to meet Gerald or ask for any updates. She knew she couldn’t dy any longer. It was time to move fast.


    Louis gave a silent nod, fully agreeing with her decision.


    A few days passed, and Lydia had fully recovered.


    After being stuck at home for what felt like forever, Lydia was sick of it. The moment she felt better, she went straight to Elena.


    They met up at a cozy little coffee shop.


    Lydia ordered her usualtte and got an Americano for Elena.


    Lydia took a sip of her coffee, the mix of sweetness and bitterness waking her up. She let out a deep sigh. “God, it feels amazing to be outside again. I was going crazy stuck in bed, but finally, I can move around like a normal person!”

    Elena set her cup down and asked, “Are youpletely fine now?”


    Lydia grinned and patted her chest. “Yep! A hundred percent recovered. Good as new!”


    Then, her excitement shifted to curiosity. “So,st time you mentioned Wesley has a fiancée… What’s the deal with that?”


    Elena had briefly mentioned over the phone that Wesley was engaged. But Lydia needed details. How the hell did Wesley suddenly have a fiancée? If he was engaged the whole time, why did he follow Elena all the way to Avaloria to help with that rescue? Anyone with eyes could see that Wesley had feelings for Elena. Was there some kind of misunderstanding?


    Elena’s expression darkened, her voice turning cold. “That’s right. Cathy Garrett—eldest daughter of the Garrett family—is Wesley’s fiancée.”


    Lydia’s eyes widened as she quickly connected the dots. “Wait. Cathy from the Garrett family? The n involved with the military?”


    “Yeah,” Elena confirmed without hesitation.
