When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1909 Honest And Straightforward

Wren fell silent for a moment before nodding.

That day, he was actually planning to visit Nicholas. After that, he planned to meet

a few old friends he hadn't seen in many years.

Only after he had left did Elena's mood slightly improve.

In the evening, Phoebe went over with Chelsea.

Originally, Chelsea wanted to contact Cecilia privately, but she couldn't find her contact information. Besides, she felt that reaching out to Cecilia on the phone didn't seem sincere enough.

"Chelsea, have a seat."

Elena hurriedly invited her to sit down.

Chelsea looked around, asking, "Has Cecilia not arrived yet?"

"She told me she was on her way here," Elena replied.

Chelsea gave a nod.

Phoebe then said, "Chelsea's father was supposed to come as well, but there were some unexpected issues at the company, so he couldn't make it. He said he'll come by to express his thanks next time."

"We're all family here, so there's no need for such formalities," Elena said with a smile.

They both hailed from the same ancestry.

Phoebe nodded in response.

After that, the two of them began discussing the incident that had occurred.

"Since Alec is a member of the Leighton family, I thought he was a good man. Who would've thought that he would turn out to be a b*stard? He nearly ruined my daughter's life.” Phoebe heaved a sigh.

Elena then said, "We can never judge the book by its cover. Who would have thought that the second son of the Leighton family could turn out to be such a person? You shouldn't blame yourself."

Chelsea had also regained her senses, so she said, "That's right, Mom. Stop blaming yourself. All I ask is that you stop pressuring me into these random blind dates. When it comes to marriage, let's just go with the flow."

"All right." At that point, Kingston and Phoebe finally understood that it was impossible to find a decent son-in-law by rushing Chelsea to get married.

Elena's face was filled with a warm smile as she gazed at the well-behaved Chelsea. "Chelsea is such a beauty. She doesn't need to worry about finding a good match."

Elena was always honest and straightforward.

Chelsea was a beautiful girl. With her distinguished family background and exceptional beauty and talent, she was in no rush to find someone to marry.

Upon hearing Elena's compliments about her daughter, Phoebe also felt quite pleased.

However, she said, "Elena, don't praise her too much. If you do, she might think she's on top of the world."

"I'm just telling it like it is," Elena said.

At that moment, the sound of the housekeeper's voice rang out, and it was accompanied by the pitter-patter of the children's running feet.

"Gabe, Luke, you two ought to slow down. Don't trip and fall."

The two rosy-cheeked children had suddenly scampered over.

Both children threw themselves into Elena's arms, looking incredibly adorable.noveldrama

"These are Ceci's sons, right? They're just too adorable." Phoebe couldn't help but dote on the two little ones upon seeing them.

Without hesitation, she pulled out two gifts and handed them over.

"Elena, this is a small token of my affection."

"Phoebe, what are you doing?" Elena did not accept the gifts.

"Just accept them. They're just a pair of little gold pendants." Phoebe slipped the gifts into the small pockets of the two little ones.

For both families, the small gold pendants weren't a big deal, so Elena did not refuse them any further.

She instructed the housekeeper to take the children away and store the gold pendants.

Phoebe watched as the two children

were taken away. She couldn't help but turn to Chelsea. “You're not much younger than Ceci. She already has four children at your age. When will you give me a little

grandchild?" sŵnovel

Chelsea's expression changed

rapidly. She had just managed to et

escape the pressure of marriage. At that moment, however, she was being rushed into having children.

"Mom..." A hint of impatience was evident in Chelsea's voice.

"All right... Fine. I'll stop talking about it. Let's just go with the flow," Phoebe said,

fearing Chelsea might do something drastic again.

Only then did Chelsea stop talking and sit properly and patiently, waiting for Cecilia to arrive.

At that moment, Cecilia and

Nathaniel had already arrived. From

a distance, they spotted a luxury car with an unfamiliar license plate parked at the entrance.
