Chapter 104 The Clothes

Are Ruined

Rosie smiled at Ethan, convinced she was presenting her most captivating self today. She couldn't understand why, despite her upbringing as the daughter of a rich family, Ethan would choose Brenna, a woman defined by her hardships and humble nature.

Since Ethan's proposal to Brenna the previous evening, Rosie had been puzzling over Brenna's charm compared to her own.

With sincerity, Rosie offered an invitation to Ethan.

Ethan, in turn, glanced at Brenna, valuing her opinion. "What do you think?" he asked.

Rosie was infuriated. Even for such a minor decision, Ethan sought Brenna's approval. It seemed she was very important to him.

She masked her irritation, maintaining her poise.

With a cool smile, Rosie addressed Brenna, saying, "You don't mind if Ethan joins us in our home, do you?"

Brenna responded in a calm tone, "Of course, I don't mind."

Ethan's joy was evident; Brenna's acceptance reinforced his belief that she truly accepted him as her future husband-a significant acknowledgment.

Rosie's anger erupted when she saw Ethan's pleased expression. Having known him since childhood, she had never received such warmth from him; he had always been distant and reserved toward her. This only deepened her resentment toward Brenna, particularly when she saw her with Ethan.

Catching Rosie's expression, Brenna gave a small, knowing smile and said, "Let's all go in together."

Then, Brenna casually looped her arm through Ethan's as they walked in, openly displaying their closeness.
