His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1190

"Ellie, promise me you'll be good…" Elvis leaned in to kiss her again, but she quickly covered his mouth with her hand, a teasing smirk on her face. "Mr. Waverley, stop talking. You're starting to sound like a dad."

…

After breakfast, Elvis packed a small bag and left Silverlake Harbor.

Elsie spent the entire day helping around the Ashbourne estate. She assisted Suri with project materials for the Bright Group, helped Myra with cooking and making soup, fed Aviana's horses, and even bathed Nydia, who was now in her final weeks of pregnancy. She had always been diligent, but today, she seemed to be working even harder, trying to keep herself busy while she waited.

Waited for night to fall.

After dinner, the Ashbournes gathered in the living room, their laughter and conversation filling the air with a warm, familial atmosphere. Elsie sat with them quietly, patiently waiting until everyone had gone to their rooms. Only then did she get up and start clearing the fruit peels and nutshells from the coffee table, helping the household staff.

"Ellie."

Elsie froze and turned to see Emeric, supported by Mr. Dylan, standing just a few feet away, watching her.

"Chairman Emeric," she said, her heart skipping a beat as she straightened up nervously.

Emeric had always politely referred to her as "Ms. Archer." He had known about her relationship with his son for a while, and while he had never voiced any opposition, he hadn't shown enthusiastic support either. His stance had been neutral, detached.

This was the first time he had called her "Ellie," just as he did the other children in the family. It was impossible for her not to be moved.
