Chapter 960
960:
“Let’s take some time to think about whether we’re really a good fit.” Brenna pulled out the small shopping bag holding the necklace for Giselle and handed the rest to him. “I don’t like any of these. You can return them.”
Without another word, she turned and walked away. Once inside the car, she immediately opened her banking app and returned the money Ethan had sent her before, including what he’d given for the necklaces.
A few seconds later, Ethan’s phone buzzed. He looked down and saw the bank transfer notification, frowning. He then watched Brenna’s car pull into the street and disappear into traffic. He called her, but she refused to pick up.
All he could do was send messages to her, asking to meet and offering to explain everything over a meal. But she didn’t reply.
Ethan’s chest tightened with frustration. Just then, his phone rang. It was Elsa calling.
“Mom, what is it?” Ethan asked.
“Come home for dinner tonight. Kenny and his girlfriend will be joining us. There are a few things we need to talk about,” Elsa cheerfully said.
Ethan was confused. “You approved them being together?”
He knew his mother too well to believe it. Elsa had never tolerated disobedience, especially from Kenny. But now, she was planning to have a meal with Kenny and…
His girlfriend, as if she had accepted them as a couple. “Just come home for dinner,” Elsa said firmly, leaving no room for argument.
“Alright.” Ethan ended the call and immediately dialed Kenny.
When Kenny picked up, Ethan could tell he was in good spirits.
“Mom says you’re bringing your girlfriend home tonight for dinner. Is that true?” Ethan asked.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. She found another girl she wants me to marry and tried to set me up on a blind date. I said no,” Kenny replied, his mood souring.
Ethan sighed and shook his head. “Figures. She hasn’t changed one bit. I’m not going home tonight then.”
Their call ended quickly. Back at the office, Ethan pulled out the necklaces and handed them to Rex. “Use these as rewards for outstanding employees.” When the secretaries heard the news, they buzzed with joy.
After a long day of mall shopping, Brenna and Ellie didn’t return home until after having dinner.

As Brenna arrived home, she noticed a car parked right in front of the entrance, obstructing the way. Recognizing it as Ethan’s, irritation surged within her. She stepped out, ready to confront him.
Ethan, who had been waiting for her for over two hours, climbed out of his car, looking tired and frustrated. “Brenna, please stop being angry with me. There’s really nothing between me and Gracie. You have to believe me.”
Brenna, equally frustrated, shot back, “I do believe there’s nothing romantic between you two. But your attention to her goes beyond normal. You went to the airport with your company’s top executives to pick her up, making a big show of your ‘friendship’ for everyone to see.”
Ethan’s face darkened. “I didn’t go alone; I brought colleagues, which proves it’s just professional.”
