Quinlee thought. Alex seemed to have forgotten me. Perhaps that is for the best; when I enter the Warren family as Orion’s wife, Alex would have no choice but to recognize me.”
Thinking about being Alex’s sister–in–law filled Quinlee with a sense of superiority that she struggled to suppress. However, there was something more pressing on her mind.
Winnie had not only distanced herself from Quinler but had also warned her never to set foot in the Grant Manor again. Quinlee needed to figure out a way to return to Jinerity to please the aging Janssen family members.
Once she secured her place in the Warren family, she wouldn’t need to worry about the Janssen or Grant fami nymore.
As Ellie emerged from the clinic, she spotted Quinlee in the hallway, wearing a triumphant expression. Their eyes met, and facing Quinlee’s challenging stare, Ellie emotionlessly looked away.
Jason had warned her several times, surely out of concern for her safety. A noble person can wait for revenge, and she decided to temporarily set aside her grievances with Quinlee.
After a busy day at the hospital, Ellie finally returned home to rest. She arrived at the Thompson residence just in time for dinner. As soon as she stepped into the living room, Diana approached her. “Honestly, has Alex been bothering you again?”
The mere mention of Alex made Ellie sigh. “No, it was just a chance encounter, she replied dismissively, slipping on her house slippers.
With Alex’s time in prison, his escape, Ellie’s studies abroad, and the birth of her children, five years was more than enough for Ellie to move on. Now, seeing Alex again, she felt neither hatred nor resentment.
She simply wanted to keep her peaceful life and have her own career, surrounded by family, children, and friends. She hoped for Alex to find happiness, to have his own family, and to start a new chapter in his life.
“Go wash up for dinner, Aaron called out, wearing navy–blue trousers and a white shirt with rolled–up sleeves, a patterned аргоп tied around his waist as he tugged on Diana’s arm.

Ellie asked, “Aaron, what’s going on between you-
“Go wash your hands for dinner, Aaron interrupted Ellie, ushering her toward the sink.
“Diana, please visit often. If you have any preferences, just tell me and I’ll cook for you,” Joanna said, grinning widely at Diana sitting next to Aaron.
“Don’t worry, Joanna, I’ll be here often. And when Aaron finds a girlfriend, I’ll leave to avoid creating any awkwardness,” Diana said, throwing a glance at Aaron.
“With you eating two meals at my house every day, it’d be a miracle if I could find a girlfriend, Aaron shot back, scooping a generous piece of fish onto Diana’s plate while carefully removing the bones.
“If you think I’m a burden, I won’t come back tomorrow, Diana id, enjoying the fish Aaron had meticulously prepared for
her.
Tomorrow, my mom will be making lasagna,” Aaron mentioned and hearing that made Diana’s mouth water uncontrollably. “Then I’ll make sure to come back for another meal. she beamed.
Aaron cast a glance at Diana but silently returned his gaze. Ellie xchanged amused looks with Whitney at the table. She decided to let their conversation flow while focusing on her me and looking after the two children.
