If it was during normal times, it would be fine. Ellena could think of a reason to send Edward away.

But today was New Year's Eve. After careful consideration, she had no reason to chase Edward away.

Elaine was their daughter. She was not the private property of any of them.

The separation was the end of their relationship. It was the problem of the two adults. Elaine wanted everyone to spend New Year's Eve together and Ellena did not want to disappoint her.

Maybe because she herself lacked familial love very much, that was why she could not able to see her daughter being sad for anything.

So even if Edward’s arrival made her uncomfortable, she still chose Elaine’s happiness over her exasperation.

After Ellena thought it through, she lowered her voice and said to Edward, "After dinner, find a reason to leave."

    The two adults looked at each other and put down their phones. Then, they ate together with Elaine. The three of them had not eaten together for a long time. At this moment, when they sat together to eat, they were no longer a family of three. Elaine looked especially happy, and even Ellena's mood also became very good. She even treated Edward in a nice way. Perhaps it was because she was infected by the new year's atmosphere, so Elaine was very excited tonight. Until eleven o'clock, she had not fallen asleep. She was clearly very sleepy, but she did not want to sleep. Ellena advised her to go to sleep but it was useless. In the end, Ellena had no choice but to press her down on the sofa and did not let her move again. Not long after, Elaine fell asleep.

I still have something to do. I will come and play with you later."As he spoke, he raised his palm and wanted to give Elaine a high-five.Elaine gave him face and reached out her small hand to slap Martin's hand.

This was a good thing.After Martin finished teasing Elaine, he stood up straight and looked at Ellena. "Ellena, I will get someone to arrange a better room for you.""No need. I will just sit in the hall. You can arrange a table by the window for me." Sea Horizon Club's geographical location was very good.

She said generously, "Elaine.""Elaine?" Madeline muttered to herself and did not know how to spell the name correctly.However, Madeline did not seem to care much about it.

You are so cute."Ellena looked coldly at Madeline and her dislike for her reached its peak.Madeline stayed here and did not leave. If she wanted to chase Madeline away, she would have to quarrel with Madeline.She did not want to look ugly in front of Elaine.

    Ellena heard this and sneered, "You also know that Naomi walked the wrong path and did not do anything good?"Although Naomi was not Madeline's biological daughter, Madeline was the one who brought her up. She still doted on Naomi until now, so naturally she did not want to hear Ellena use this kind of tone to say Naomi.She subconsciously opened her mouth to defend Naomi, "You also know that. Naomi had been pampered since she was young. Later on, she encountered so many setbacks. Ever since her boyfriend passed away, her mental state was getting worse and worse. She was really just...

Only then did she feel refreshed. She sat up and picked up the phone."Chloe? What's wrong with you?" Chloe would only call her at night when she was on set. She usually would choose to sleep if she did not have work. There must be something wrong since Chloe called her so early in the morning."Do you know about Martin?"Chloe's voice sounded a little hoarse. She did not know whether it was because she did not sleep well or because she had a cold."What happened to Martin?" Yesterday, when she brought Elaine to Sea Horizon Club for dinner, Martin was still fine. But what could happen in just one night?"Wait a moment." A rustling sound came from Chloe's head.Not long after, Ellena received a notification from a new WeChat message on her phone.Ellena did not hang up and opened WeChat to look at the message.The new mes

    Ellena thought for a moment and said, "Think about it carefully. Is there anything unusual about Edward recently?"Paul thought for a moment and hesitated before saying, "There is nothing unusual about him."If he really wanted to say it, the most unusual thing about Mr. Arnoult was that he had broken up with Ellena and went together with Jasmine.However, Paul only thought about it in his heart and did not say it out loud.Ellena fell into deep thought.Was she thinking too much?Paul saw that she did not speak. He leaned forward slightly and called out. "Miss Smith?"Ellena came back to her senses and smiled politely. "Thank you, Special Assistant Paul, for taking the time to see me.""Miss Smith do not need to be so polite. Even if you and Mr. Arnoult are no longer together, we are still just friends." Paul's words came from the bottom of his heart.Ellena laughed lightly, "Since you treat me as a friend, don't keep calling me Miss Smith. That would be too much of a difference.""N

"There's nothing to be afraid of."Martin was about to continue when Chloe interrupted him. "Wait, what happened? What did you do to Edward? Why can't I understand what you guys are saying?""Nothing. It's just a small conflict between Edward and me."

    Paul had personally investigated the information of Vincent that Edward wanted to know, so he knew everything about Vincent.Paul said with an indifferent expression, "Mr. Reed is really kind. You don't care about your own father's death at all. Instead, you are so enthusiastic about other people's matters.""What do you mean?" Vincent's expression changed as he stared at Paul."Mr. Reed really thought his father died in an accident? Do you know what your father has been doing all this time?" Paul stopped and did not plan to say anything more. He turned to leave.Vincent grabbed Paul's arm and said, "Explain yourself.""This is Mr. Reed's matter. How can I, an outsider, explain clearly?"

Vincent turned around and changed into a comfortable position. It seemed that he did not intend to get up again."You are really not polite." Ellena muttered. She saw that Vincent was really lying down and could not do anything to him, so she could only turn around and go to the kitchen.Opening the refrigerator, Ellena looked inside. There were dishes inside, but she did not really want Vincent to do as he wished.What if he cheated in the future and ate at her house?Ellena thought for a while and took some vegetables and eggs from inside.
