Chapter 747:
Brenna gave a small nod, catching right away that Bess wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
“I didn’t bring anything for your uncle or his daughter,” she said.
Ethan responded without hesitation, “That’s not a problem. You’re there to visit my grandmother, not them p>
“That’s how I see it, too.” Brenna had only brought it up out of courtesy.
Soon enough, they arrived at Ethan’s grandmother’s place.
Brenna gathered the bags she had brought and followed Ethan through the gate and into the courtyard, where she could already make out the sound of voices coming from inside.
Right away, she could tell that Elsa and Minna were inside.
Ethan stepped inside first and caught sight of several people gathered, which left him a little annoyed with himself for not checking ahead. Now, Brenna had to deal with people she disliked.
Elsa had her hands in dough, while Minna and a girl with striking features were preparing vegetables for a meal. Kenny was sitting beside Belen, wearing a simple jacket.
Brenna silently wondered why Kenny was here. If his military status had been restored, he should’ve been back in the military by now. His presence hinted that he might not have escaped being dismissed after all.
While Brenna was lost in thought, Kenny’s eyes locked onto hers, glaring with resentment.
Ethan held Brenna’s hand, quietly letting everyone in the room know she had his full support.
Elsa had been ready to say something cutting but stopped herself. She had promised Ethan not to meddle in his life anymore. Still, she was displeased upon seeing Brenna and wore a dark expression.
Ethan caught the look on Elsa’s face and gave her a sharp glance in warning. It hadn’t been long since the argument with his parents, but he still gave a stiff nod and greeted Elsa, though his tone was cold.
Brenna also greeted Elsa.

Without lingering, Ethan stepped past Elsa and made his way to Belen with Brenna, his voice softening. “Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Brenna p>
Brenna placed the gifts she had brought on the nearby coffee table and smiled at Belen brightly. “Hello, Mrs. Navarro p>
“You’re beautiful!” said Belen with a glowing smile as she reached out and pulled Brenna to sit beside her. “Such a lovely girl. Let me take a good look at you. You’re so stunning; my grandson looks plain next to you p>
Brenna felt confused. Ethan had already made their relationship clear, and both Elsa and Emmett had explicitly promised not to meddle in his marriage. So why had Elsa brought Minna to the family gathering?
What was the purpose of this? Was Elsa still scheming to go against Ethan’s wishes?
Brenna couldn’t figure it out.
She noticed Minna stealing glances at Kenny multiple times since she and Ethan arrived. Kenny, however, seemed oblivious to her gestures, engrossed in his phone, his brow furrowed, his mood visibly sour.
