Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 689

Anneliese understood, smiled reassuringly, and clapped gently.

Ellie looked at her. Anneliese said softly, "You're amazing and brave, Ellie. This is for you!"

She clapped a few more times and gave Ellie a thumbs-up.

Ellie shyly smiled. Her big eyes sparkled, making her look even softer and cuter.

She could speak now, and clearly, the little girl herself was happy too.

But she didn't know how she had managed to make a sound just now.

Anneliese smiled warmly. "We all heard how beautiful your voice is. Right, Grandma?"

She looked at her grandmother, and Nishay quickly nodded.

Nishay hadn't even known before that such a pretty, adorable little girl couldn't talk.

She hurried to encourage her, saying, "It sounded lovely."

Wendy nodded as well. "That's right. Your voice sounds lovely. Let's hear it again!"

Encouraged gently by the elders, Ellie seemed to gather her courage again. She opened her little mouth, but still couldn't make a sound.

Worried she might feel pressured, Anneliese quickly said, "Ellie, would you like to meet tomorrow? I still haven't done what I promised you yesterday."

Ellie had just been feeling lost and upset because she couldn't speak again, but now, her attention was instantly pulled away by this new topic.

She turned to look at Anneliese and nodded excitedly.

Of course she wanted to see her!

Yesterday, Anneliese had promised to make delicious little cookies for her. Only then had she agreed to leave with Adrian.

She hadn't expected to get to see Anneliese again so soon.

Only then did Anneliese look back at Wendy, giving her a calm, reassuring look so she wouldn't get too anxious and scare the child.

She then asked, "Ms. Chalmont, I'm going to take part in the National Low-Altitude Logistics Algorithm Challenge tomorrow. Each participant can invite two family members or friends to watch. If you and Ellie are free tomorrow, would you come cheer for me?"

Nishay was hospitalized, and she couldn't go anywhere crowded.

At first, Anneliese had planned on inviting Penelope and Derek.

But when she called Penelope that morning, she found out the two of them were visiting friends at a resort outside Oceaton and wouldn't be back for two days.
