Something unexpected happened.
As they opened the covers, Elianna was fast asleep.
After being awakened by the noise, she sat up, puzzled. "Mom, re, why are you here?"
Elianna was wearing pajamas and looked as if she had just woken up. However, she was still
wearing her pants under the covers and hadn''t even taken off her shoes.
re paused for a moment, then smiled again. "No worries. You felt ufortable when you left
and I just wanted to check on you."
"Hmph, you sure sleep well." Joyce was about to tease Elianna but suddenly remembered
something. "Where''s Asher?"
"Mom, you called me?" Asher appeared, looking guilty.
re looked at Elianna and Asher, jokingly saying, "Asher, where did youe from? How did you
leave Anna alone?"
"Huh? I... I just went to see, I went to see Kenley."
Seeing Asher''s incoherent appearance, Joyce couldn''t help feeling suspicious.
It waste at night, and he went to Kenley''s room...
"Kenley wasn''t feeling well, so I asked Asher to go and check on her."
Elianna interjected, breaking the deadlock.
Amid Asher''s surprise, he quickly followed Elianna''s lead. "Yes, Kenley couldn''t find her medicine,
so I went to help look for it."
To divert attention, he added, "Elianna was supposed toe with me, but she was too tired, so I
let her rest."
re pondered for a few seconds, then suddenlyughed. "It''s just my bad timing. Seeing that
Anna is fine puts my mind at ease."
At this moment, re''s gentle and harmless appearance was just like when Elianna first met her.
But after experiencing everything, when Elianna looked at re''s face again, she found it repulsive.
The storm ended silently.
After re left, Joyce unexpectedly didn''t confront her but called Asher away.
Elianna finally rxed her tense back and sighed with relief.
She felt a sense of fear, realizing that if she hadn''t noticed re and ran upstairs before she
entered the Plum Compound, who knows what trouble would have arisen.
Although she didn''t know why re suddenly appeared, at least she managed to fool her.
Thanks to Asher''s cooperation.
Elianna looked at the slightly open door. Joyce suddenly calling Asher away might mean that she
had some suspicions.
People are interesting. They don''t believe you when you speak, but they can''t help but suspect
once they are gone.
Just like now.
"Asher, what''s going on between you and Kenley?"
Asher ufortably scratched his neck. "What''s going on? Kenley is my cousin; if she''s not feeling
well, I have to check on her."
He pretended to be impatient. "Mom, you do not believe in Elianna, who attempts to sow discord,
are you? She''s jealous of Kenley. Do you believe her instead of us?"
Joyce would frown whenever Elianna''s name was mentioned, naturally believing Asher.
"I thought she came from the Gentry family and would understand some manners, but it seems that
she''s uncultured. I''ll talk to Mrs. Gentry tomorrow and ask her to teach her some manners."
Asher should have agreed, but thinking about how Elianna defended him just now meant she had
epted his rtionship with Kenley.
So, unusually, he spoke up for Elianna.
"Forget it. The Gibson family''s banquet is in two days. Let''s wait until after the banquet to discuss
it."
Mentioning the Gibson family shifted Joyce''s attention, and her tone became resentful. "If I had
known that Alicia was interested in an Elfold alliance, I would never have let you engage with the
Gentry family."
