StartNovelChapter 1321:
“Mom, why are you calling me?” Ethan asked as soon as he picked up the call, his tone casual.
Elsa was clearly upset at his question. “Oh, so now | need a reason just to call my own son? Do you hear
yourself?”
Ethan's frown grew deeper. “How have you been? I've been swamped with work lately; that’s why | haven't come
by.”
Elsa said with a huff, “I need you to get in touch with your brother. He ignoreswhenever | call. He's still
holding a grudge against me, even though I'm not interfering in whatever's going on with his wife. All | want is a
chance to see him and my grandson. That's hardly unreasonable, don’t you think?”
Elsa’s sudden display of softness took Ethan aback. In all the years he’d known her, he couldn't recall her ever
backing down like this.

They're managing well, so don’t interfere in their lives, alright?” Ethan said.
He could already see Elsa’s old nature resurfacing; she was beginning to schabout interfering in Kenny's life
again. For the moment, she seemed pleasant enough, but as soon as she cface-to-face with Rosanna, her
objections would likely flare up all over again.
The best plan was for his mother and his sister-in-law to remain apart.
“Mom, I'm planning to choose a perfect day to get engaged to Brenna.” Ethan had already made his choice, and
approval from Elsa was the last thing he needed. He only wanted her to know.
Just as he had expected, Elsa reacted with surprise. “Get engaged? Are you sure you want to marry her?”
There was still disapproval in her tone.

Ethan realized she hadn't changed at all.
“I do. I'm merely informing you, not asking for your permission. If that’s all, I'll end the call now,” he said.
Elsa quickly responded, “No, don’t hang up yet. What's the rush? When was the last tyou called me? Each
t| contact you, you rush to end the conversation. It's like you have no regard forwhatsoever. An
engagement, is it? Fine, I'll find someone to help you organize it.”
“I can manage it myself; there's no need for you to worry.” Ethan instantly regretted telling her about the matter.
Once Ethan hung up the phone, Brenna noticed the grim look on his face. She didn’t press for answers and just
put sfood on his plate. “Con, let's eat.”
Ethan figured there was no reason to keep anything from Brenna. They were engaged, after all, and at some
point, she'd have to face his meddlesmother.
“My mom didn’t cause trouble for a while, but now, she’s trying to meddle in my affairs again,” he said, sounding
exasperated.
Brenna didn’t take it too seriously. In her view, Elsa wasn't all that hard to deal with.
Ethan was in a meeting in the afternoon when his secretary knocked and entered, whispering to him that Elsa
had arrived. He hadn’t expected this at all.
To make things worse, Gracie had also chere.
They were both seated in his office, waiting for him.
