Chapter 728:
Turning to Austin and Maggie, Yelena announced, “It’s late. I should be going p>
“So soon?” Maggie responded with a hint of disappointment. She wanted to spend more time with Yelena.
Despite their short time knowing each other, Maggie had quickly grown close to Yelena. Her natural charisma made her easy to like.
“I need to be at work tomorrow,” Yelena explained.
Maggie gave a soft cough and gently elbowed Austin, her eyes silently encouraging him.
Austin stood up and said, “I’ll walk you out, Yelena p>
Yelena was about to decline. The distance between their houses was short, and she wasn’t the delicate woman who needed an escort. To her, it seemed like nothing more than an unnecessary trouble. But then, a thought struck Yelena. She glanced back at Monica and offered a smile before accepting. “Okay, thank you p>
Austin was momentarily stunned. Then, a smile of joy spread across his face.
Yelena did not decline his offer, and it made him so happy!
“I’ll go see Yelena off as well,” Monica added.
Monica gave the impression of the lady of the house, seeing off a guest. Was Yelena trying to provoke her on purpose? Impossible!
Maggie added, “There’s no need for all that. Austin’s got it. Why don’t you stay here and keep me company p>
Austin had intended to escort Yelena home, hoping to develop their relationship. Monica, as a third wheel, could ruin that plan. How could they possibly grow closer with her around? Surely, Maggie wouldn’t let that happen.

Hesitantly, Monica agreed to stay, but only because Maggie held her hand tightly, leaving her no chance to leave.
Monica was filled with resentment, yet she couldn’t show it.
Together, Yelena and Austin headed for the door. As they stepped outside, they saw Cayson.
Cayson stood with his arms folded across his chest, casually leaning against the wall, one foot slightly resting against it.
“Cayson?” Yelena was surprised upon seeing him. “What brings you here p>
Cayson was supposed to be at a social event that night, and Yelena hadn’t expected him back so soon.
Cayson hummed casually before answering, “Mom mentioned you were visiting our new neighbor next door, so I thought I’d stop by p>
Yelena replied, “I’m not a child anymore. You don’t have to fetch me p>
In Cayson’s view, Yelena carried an undeniable charm, one she didn’t seem to be aware of. It was clear that many men were drawn to her charisma.
“Have you taken care of the business you needed to attend to?” Cayson asked.
Her business? What was he referring to?
Yelena suddenly realized that Cayson was likely referring to returning the cat. “Yes, that’s settled,” she confirmed. Cayson gave a nod. “Alright, let’s head out p>
He walked away first, and Yelena followed. After a few steps, a thought crossed her mind, and she turned to face Austin. “You should head back. There’s no need to escort me further p>
