Chapter 269

Elara glanced at Felicity and said, "No matter what, I still appreciate him for bringing my child back." Felicity responded, "I'll apologize on Aubrey's behalf."

Elara looked straight at her. "There's no need. An apology doesnt solve anything. I won't forgive him."

Elara had nearly lost her life. Every bit of torment she'd endured was real. If Asher hadn't had a sudden change of heart and let her go, she didn't even dare to imagine what would've happened to her. After speaking with Felicity, Elara went straight home. Her son had just woken up, and Violet was taking care of him. When Violet saw Elara enter, she said, "Elara, he's awake."

Elara walked over to her son, who was staring at her with wide, curious eyes. She picked him up gently, Violet asked, "Have you given him a name yet?"

"Yes," Elara replied, cradling her son as she sat down. "His nickname is JoJo, and his full name is Jordan Hawthorne.

"JoJo," Violet said softly, crouching down to look at him. "JoJo, look at me. I'm your aunt." Elara watched Violet's gentle expression and couldn't help but smile.

When Asher finally returned home several days later, the weather had warmed up considerably. Daphne was sitting on the couch when he walked in.

She stood up the moment she saw him. "Asher, you're back?"

While Asher had been away, Daphne had been managing the company's affairs. She walked up to him eagerly. "It's good that you're home. Let me run a bath for you so you can relax."

Asher looked a bit disheveled. After a brief pause, he went to take a shower. When he came out, Daphne was waiting by the door.

As he stepped out, she moved closer, trying to kiss him. "I'm just so glad you're back."

Asher stopped her before she could touch him. "Let's get a divorce."
