Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1794

Chapter 1794 Guilt and Presents

Ellen’s tears welled up in her eyes again in her disappointment, and the tough demeanor she maintained fell apart in an instant. No matter how unfairly life treated her, she could always face it with a smile. Nevertheless, she felt absolutely powerless and weak at this moment.

That evening, Connor offered to take Ellen and Olivia out for dinner after he came back from his appointment. They went to an upscale steakhouse near their residence. Having lived in the area for more than ten years, they had gotten into the habit of eating at such places. Olivia couldn’t resist using this opportunity to show off.

“Ellie, here. Try this. I’m sure you’ve never tasted these before.” Olivia handed Ellen a plate of desserts. Ellen quickly thanked her aunt. “Thank you, Aunt Olivia.” “It’s nothing! We often eat these, so we’ve gotten tired of eating them,” Olivia added.

Connor immediately glanced sideways at her, warning her not to boast to Ellen. After all, it was all thanks to Ellen’s brother that they could enjoy their current lifestyle.

He could not bear to watch how she enjoyed the blessings that Ellen’s brother gave them while expressing disparaging remarks about Ellen.

Olivia looked away, upset at being rebuked. As Ellen was a sensitive person by nature, she immediately lowered her head and ate quietly without saying anything else.

After dinner, Connor brought Ellen to the nearby shopping mall and bought some clothes for her. Although Ellen kept refusing his goodwill, he stubbornly insisted on buying the clothes for her. His little shopping spree immediately racked up a bill of more than a thousand dollars.

Olivia fumed at the sight and thought to herself, In order to prevent Connor from buying clothes for her again, I’m going to give my daughter’s old clothes to her tonight!

By the time they reached home, it was already 9.30PM. Ellen stayed inside the housekeeper’s room and did not come out again. On the other hand, Olivia rummaged through the wardrobe on the second floor and packed up all the old clothes that Selena no longer wore. Connor walked into the wardrobe and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Packing up Lena’s old clothes for Ellen.”

“We can just buy new clothes for her. Why are you giving her old clothes?”
