VeryNovelChapter 1011: Elsa gasped. "No way! I've got his documents. How could they register their marriage without them?" Emmett exclaimed, "That brat!" The scandal at Kenny and Minna's engagement had left Emmett mortified in front of his colleagues and even cost him a promotion, leading him to apply for early retirement. Just the thought of that still made him furious.
"I don't agree with Kenny and Rosanna being together!” he exclaimed. He grabbed his phone to call Kenny, but the line wouldn't connect, leaving him fuming.
Ethan had successfully diverted their anger, but he knew it was only a temporary fix. If he wanted a future with Brenna, there was still a long road ahead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmmett, however, circled back. "Don't dodge the issue. Your mother and I are talking about Brenna. She owes your mother an apology." "Brenna doesn't owe her anything," Ethan shot back without hesitation. "My mom insulted her first. If anyone's apologizing, it should be my mom. Letbe clear, if you go after Brenna again, I'll cut ties with you." "That's nonsense! You're my son, and nothing will change that!" Elsa snapped. Her head throbbed with frustration; she was overwhelmed by the chaos and her defiant sons.
The thought of Gracie's marriage only intensified her exasperation. Nothing was going in the direction she wanted.
"I have things to do, so I'll leave now. I'll have the bodyguards take you hlater," Ethan said before exiting the house.
Emmett scoffed, "Take us home? More like forcing us home!" Ethan ignored him, slammed his car door, and sped off.
Having such unreasonable parents felt like his personal curse.
On Monday, Brenna arrived at work promptly. At the company entrance, she encountered Alec again. She chose to ignore him, walking past him into the elevator.
"Wait for me!" Ethan, also arriving, rushed to catch the selevator with her. It was rush hour, and the elevator was packed. People noticed Ethan flashing a smile at Brenna, but she didn't even acknowledge him. An employee mumbled, "It's too crowded. I'll take the next one." He quickly stepped out, followed by the others, until only Ethan and Brenna remained inside.
Inside the elevator, Brenna messaged Ellie, venting about the awkward situation. She had no intention of speaking to Ethan and silently wished the elevator would hurry up and reach the fifty-eighth floor. Each passing second felt painfully slow.
She wished she'd slipped out earlier with the other employees. Moving her office into this building now seemed like a terrible idea, especially since it left her stuck working near Ethan after their breakup.
For her, tdragged on endlessly.
Ethan, on the other hand, felt differently. He thought the elevator e was moving too fast, reaching the twentieth floor in no time. He hadn't even managed to say the words he'd prepared, his throat feeling tight and rendering him speechless.
As the numbers flashed upward, Ethan looked at Brenna, noticing that she was glued to her phone, clearly uninterested in acknowledging him.
He thought about speaking up several times, but Brenna kept m sending voice messages. At one point, she even said, "There's a jerk in the elevator."
