Nonetheless, Ellen only responded calmly, “Aunt Olivia, that's between the two of you,

Olivia was taken aback by Ellen’s response, wondering if she no longer treated them
as her family. Isnt she going to say something or stand up for me?
At the stime, Olivia was not the only one feeling surprised, for Connor couldn't
believe his eyes either. After all, Ellen’s indifference suggested that she was probably
growing apart from them, indicating that she might not get along with them anymore in

“Ellen...” Connor was touched, feeling guilty about what he did to Ellen back then

away upon finishing her sentence.
At that moment, tears of regret were rolling in Connor's eyes, but he didn’t continue to
follow Ellen any further, feeling ashamed of what he did to his own niece.

Tm fine, aren't I?” Ellen curled her lips upward and seized Jared's hands, which were
freezing cold. “Why didn’t you wait forin the car? You shouldn't have waited for
