NovelEndChapter 161 Chapter 161 | Missed You So Much On Sunday, Brenna was at the airport waiting for Ellie to arrive.
Just then, her phone started ringing-it was Ethan calling. His voice, deep and soothing, soon filled her ear. "Are you free now? How about we grab lunch together? I can pick you up." It was then that Brenna noticed several unread messages on her phone, all from Ethan, asking if she was free for lunch.
With a smile, she responded, "Sorry, I'm busy this afternoon." She chose not to elaborate, remembering Ellie's warning; she couldn't let Ethan know about Ellie's arrival, as he might pass the information to Jayceon.
On the top floor of the Mitchell Group building, Ethan stood next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding his phone. Brenna's refusal surprised him. It was Sunday, and Brenna typically wasn't at her stuon Sundays. He wondered what she could be occupied with.
Still, Ethan respected her privacy and didn't probe further. Instead, he suggested, "How about we meet for dinner then?" Behind him, Neville was quietly impressed by Brenna. From what he knew, no one had ever turned down Ethan. He thought Brenna's audacity was notable, or perhaps she was just unaware of Ethan's prominence in the global business scene.

eople were willing to pay just to have dinner with Ethan, but he always refused them.
Neville believed Ethan's twas valuable, and Brenna should have felt honored that Ethan was willing to spend twith her.
Yet, Brenna had turned Ethan down.
Neville grew concerned for Brenna—she was the first to ever refuse Ethan. He pondered whether Ethan would get angry.
Neville watched Ethan's back, his hands tensed into fists. He worried that if Brenna also declined the dinner invitation, Ethan might actually becmad.
Silently, he hoped Brenna would accept.
The next second, he heard Ethan's composed voice break the silence. "Alright, I'll pick you up tonight." 21:37 0.0% Rè III 0 < Chapter 161 1 Missed You So Much After hanging up the call, Ethan turned and sat back down, his mind drifting to the news about a flight arriving from Norview at the international airport.
"Brenna must be picking someone up at the airport," he mutter.
Ethan recalled that Jayceon had been in Norview for the past several weeks, still searching for Ellie. While he felt for Jayceon, there was little he could do to help him.
Brenna was currently at the airport. Could she be there to pick up Ellie? Ethan wasn't sure; perhaps she was there to pick up someone else.
Neville noticed the serious look on Ethan's face and suspected he was troubled by Brenna's refusal. "Mr. Mitchell, is everything alright?" he asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah. Book a table forat Sky Heaven for eight o'clock tonight," Ethan instructed calmly.
Neville promptly exited to make the booking, while Ethan hesitated, contemplating whether to inform Jayceon about what Brenna was doing.
Then, he remembered that he had already betrayed Brenna once. He couldn't bring himself to do it again. After all, a wife held more significance than a friend to him.
Jayceon was responsible for his own troubles. It was his job to seek his wife's forgiveness.
After thinking that, Ethan felt relieved. By staying loyal to Brenna, he would avoid ending up like Jayceon, estranged from his loved one.
At the airport, Brenna's face brightened at the sight of a familiar figure—a tall, beautiful woman maneuvering a large luggage cart, with a charming little boy perched on top, eagerly waving at her.
"Brenna!" Patrick Moore jumped off the luggage cart and dashed towards Brenna.
It had been two years since Brenna last saw her godson. He had grown noticeably taller. She spread her arms wide and bent down to lift him into a hug.
