Chapter 418
When they had dinner, all dishes were local specialties. Olivia liked to eat morel mushrooms. Daniel noticed that. He then began to serve Olivia food. He did not cat a single bite himself.
Anna had always been attentive, and noticing this, a faint hint of envy welled up in her heart.
The name “Daniel Sullivan” could be deemed widely known. It was known to everyone. Countless handsome men and beautiful women flocked to him, yet he remained so dedicated and virtuous.
Anna thought, “This Olivia is really fortunate. She has beauty, intelligence, a good family background, and a top–quality man like Daniel loving her. Perhaps the universe has given her all its love.”
Anna glanced at Wesley, who was beside her. Wesley only focused on himself. Suddenly, Anna felt dispirited. She put down her bowl and said, “I’m done eating. Take your time.”
As she spoke, she stood up and left.
Seeing this, Elena hurriedly swallowed the remaining mouthful of food in her bowl and turned around to chase after her.
Elena had always been clear about her responsibilities. No matter how unwilling she was, during this period of being away from home, she had to take good care of Anna.
“Anna, why did you eat so little?” Elena said. She caught up with Anna. Then, she reached out to support Anna by the arm.
Anna turned her eyes to glance at Elena and sighed. “I’ve got no appetite, so I came out for a walk,” she said.
The two of them walked toward the outskirts of the village, strolling leisurely along the small path..
“Elena, do you know how Olivia got to know Mr. Sullivan?” Anna asked. She was curious.
Elena shook her head and said, “I don’t know. By the time I became Miss Taylor’s assistant, she was already engaged to Mr. Sullivan.”
“Mm,” Anna replied as she nodded. “This Olivia is remarkable. She’s very skillful at managing men. Mr. Sullivan is someone with high status and position, yet he is so caring toward her in her presence, She has clearly put in a lot of effort.”
Elena furrowed her brow. She did not engage in this topic.
Anna directed her gaze at Elena and said, “By the way, how are things with Captain Chavez? Why didn’t I see him at dinner?”
Elena explained, “Captain Chavez is responsible for ensuring everyone’s safety.

Their mealtime is different from ours.”
Anna nodded and said with a tone that carried a sense of sympathy. “Sigh. Bodyguards have no choice. When the employer eats, they have to stand and patrol.”
At this point, Anna suddenly stopped and said to Elena apologetically, I’m sorry, Elena. I’m not looking down on Captain Chavez. I’m just stating the facts. But it’s okay. He’s working hard now, but he doesn’t have to work so hard after he’s with you. You’re the heiress of the Wayne family. The Wayne family is currently facing some decline. Despite the challenges, your family’s background and position are still relatively strong and advantageous when compared to the average family. At the end of the day, you’re still better off than someone from an ordinary family. “In the future, you can let him marry into your family and randomly get him at job position in the company. Then, he won’t have to work so hard as a bodyguard
here.”
Elena was expressionless. She had grown somewhat accustomed to Anna belittling her in every remark that Anna uttered, regardless of the topic. Anna would then indirectly elevate herself.
Elena thought, ‘Let it be. If this can make her happy, I don’t mind being mocked. After sending Anna back to her room to rest, Elena received a call from Joanne. “Mom,” she said.
Joanne’s tone was filled with joy as she said, “I heard from Anna that you currently have romantic feelings for someone. Is that true? When would you bring him home for me to take a look?”
Elena thought, ‘Anna the gossipmonger is really fast!‘
Elena had a headache. She said, “Mom, it’s not confirmed yet. Please don’t listen to Anna’s baseless talk.”
“Baseless talk?” Joanne said. Her tone turned cold and her expression suddenly became serious. She pressed, “Elena, tell me the truth. Are you still thinking about. Wesley? I must warn you. Wesley is your future cousin–in–law. You have to have a conscience, and you must know ethics. You absolutely cannot do something as despicable as snatching someone’s husband.”
“Mom!” Elena said. She could not take it anymore. She could not help but retort, “What are you talking about? Do you really think so little of your daughter? What do you mean by ‘despicable‘? Are you saying that I’m despicable?”
Elena was so angry that her wrist trembled slightly and her voice quivered.
For many years, she rarely went back home because she did not want to face Joanne.
She thought, I just don’t understand. Back then, it was clearly me and Wesley who had the agreement to marry in the future. So why would I end up snatching someone’s husband? I don’t have such an intention. Even if I do, it would be Annal
