Chapter 863
Chapter 863:
Kenny forced a smile. “No. I don’t regret it p>
“We’ll handle the rest together,” Rosanna said softly. “Once your parents are less angry, we’ll go back and apologize. I won’t let you face that storm alone p>
Kenny’s thumb hovered over his phone screen, but he couldn’t bring himself to turn it on. He feared that the flood of calls would make him change his mind.
As night fell, Brenna arrived home. The Harper family’s dining table was already set, filled with a spread of dishes.
Giselle, in high spirits, waved Brenna over. “You must be starving. Come eat, these are all your favorites p>
Brenna passed her bag to Julia, washed her hands, and sat down. Surveying the table, she noticed the mouthwatering array of food. “Why’s dinner so lavish tonight?” she asked.
Ernst and Dalton, already seated, set their phones aside and exchanged amused glances.
Brenna’s curiosity grew. “What’s going on p>
Giselle’s mood brightened further. She smiled at Brenna and replied, “I’m just in a great mood today p>
Catching Shepard’s warm smile, Brenna could tell he was equally cheerful.
Ernst spoke up. “Didn’t the Mitchells make a spectacle of themselves today? Mom’s been fed up with them lately, and now that they’re in a mess, she’s happy p>
Brenna turned to Giselle. “You heard about it, too, Mom p>
Giselle beamed. “Oh, yes. A coworker told me today; her husband is stationed at the military base and was at the Mitchells’ engagement party. He told her everything. It was quite the scene. I always knew that with Elsa’s personality, her family was bound to get into trouble eventually. Mark my words, this is just the start. Bigger problems are coming p>
Brenna shared a look with Ernst, who, despite his friendship with Ethan, stayed silent instead of defending the Mitchells.

Brenna said, “You’re right, Mom. Ethan’s mother is way too overbearing. Kenny’s no match for her, and she’ll probably try to drive a wedge between him and that pilot girlfriend of his soon p>
Ernst dug into his meal. “I’m with you on that. Kenny and Ethan are like night and day. Kenny’s too soft. I’m curious how he’ll face his mom this time. Honestly, Brenna, I’m worried about you. Ethan’s mom already dislikes you, and when you marry him, you’re bound to clash with her p>
Brenna arched an eyebrow. “Ethan’s already made it clear—once we’re married, we’ll keep his mom at arm’s length, like a distant relative. I won’t have to deal with her p>
Giselle scoffed. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. His mother isn’t someone you can just brush off. Your plan might fall apart. Brenna, you need a backup plan in case things don’t work out with Ethan. If you want to settle down, I can introduce you to someone from a more harmonious family. The Mitchells may have status, but that doesn’t matter to us p>
