Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 This Should Be a Coincidence

It was already in the afternoon by the time Elise woke up.

Her stomach growled as she took a look at the clock. After noticing that it was already 3:00PM, Elise pushed her blanket aside and got off the bed. Then, she started stretching before heading out of her room.

“Stella, is there anything that I can eat? I’m starving!”

Stella quickly replied, “What would you like to eat, Miss Sinclair? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it now.”

After contemplating for a moment, Elise answered, “Just get me a bowl of noodles! I want to fill up my stomach.”

“Alright, Miss Sinclair. Please hang on for a moment.”

Elise mumbled an answer and turned around to see Laura and Leonard chatting at the garden backyard and quickly walked over to them. “Grandpa, Grandma…”

Laura turned around to see Elise, who looked as if she had just woken up. “Why are you up so late?”

At this moment, Elise stuck her tongue out in embarrassment. “I stayed up late to play games last night and only slept in the morning. That’s why I woke up late today.”

Instead of saying anything, Laura motioned for Elise to sit next to her. She couldn’t help but be worried when she recalled what Brendan told them earlier in the morning. “Ellie, I need to ask you something.”

Meanwhile, Elise had a nonchalant look on her face. “What is it, Grandma?”

Laura leaned toward her before asking in a low voice, “Ellie, have you been into designing again?”

An odd look flashed past Elise’s face. However, she gave an honest answer since she had only altered her engagement gown and wasn’t involved in designing anything from scratch. “Grandma, I only altered my wedding gown. I didn’t design anything.”

A shocked Laura elaborated, “Brendan came over in the morning and tried to pry about you, but your grandpa and I know that you’re no longer involved with designing wedding gowns. So, we kept quiet and didn’t reveal anything.”

Elise was curious as to why Brendan would attempt to ask her grandparents about her. Did he discover something? How is that even possible? “Grandma, why did he suddenly ask you guys about this?”

It was something that Laura felt odd about as well. Then, she asked, “Didn’t you say that you altered the gown? Could it be that he noticed something on the gown? Ellie, I’ll always support you even if you want to continue designing wedding gowns. You don’t have to hide your interests. I really hope that you can pursue the things that you like.”

Elise reached out to hold Laura’s arm. “I know that! It’s just that I made a promise to someone not to be involved with the designing of wedding gowns as Lily unless we return to the fashion industry together. So, I’m not planning to do so right now. All I want is to complete my studies and enroll in college to continue with my tertiary education. Who knows I might even venture into something new?”

“What can I even tell you at this point? You already obtained a double degree abroad and you can easily take over the family business without even returning to your studies. Your grandpa and I believe that you’ll be able to handle the family business well.”

“I’m still young, though!” Elise whined. “I’m only 18 and I still want to enjoy life as a student.”

“Alright. You should continue pursuing your studies if that’s what you want! As long as you’re doing what you like, I’ll support you unconditionally.”

“Thank you, Grandma!” She exclaimed before she inched closer to Laura’s side. Despite that, all she thought about was Brendan’s words. It’s impossible for Brendan to associate me with Lily when all I did was rely on my thoughts to alter the gown. This should be a coincidence.

At least that was what Elise thought, so she didn’t dwell too deep into it.
