Chapter 803
Chapter 803:
Dina, standing nearby, began to feel uneasy.
Maybe Cayson didn’t mean it, but his words carried an undertone she couldn’t ignore. Although Kaiden wasn’t short, Dina was. Always radiant and charming, even after becoming a mother, Dina had been the very reason Kaiden had been so eager to marry her.
Still, the subject of her height was a sensitive one, and Cayson’s remark distressed her. Fortunately, Cayson didn’t press further, as everyone’s attention shifted back to Yelena.
Colden had just removed his diving mask and was greeted by the crowd with an expression of disappointment. Was this really happening? This was Colden’s first time experiencing such visible disappointment from an audience.
Usually, crowds greeted him with enthusiastic cheers, a reaction that had remained unchanged for years.
Bella’s eyes briefly flickered with jealousy as she watched Colden. A star in the entertainment industry, Colden was incredibly famous, with countless socialites among his devoted fans eagerly splurging on his merchandise.
Bella had always held Colden in high esteem, but now, seeing him alongside Yelena, she couldn’t ignore a subtle stir of discomfort. Yelena approached, her expression puzzled, and asked, “Mom, Dad, Cayson, what brings you all here p>
Colden joined in, offering a laid-back and friendly demeanor to everyone. With a hint of jealousy, Bella commented, “I thought you were with Mr. Barton. Turns out p>
Catching the sarcasm in Bella’s tone, Yelena couldn’t help but notice the subtle meaning behind her words. Smiling purposefully, she replied, “Austin is indeed here. He’s still on the speedboat, watching over the harvest p>
Colden chimed in, “Exactly. We came ashore looking for some assistance. It’s fortunate we stumbled upon you. Can you lend us a hand p>

“Harvest?” Bella asked, confused.
“Yes,” Colden continued, “Yelena and I managed to catch quite a bit—fish, shrimp, crabs, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers p>
Colden always had a warm and sociable demeanor, especially when interacting with Yelena’s family.
“Wait, you sound awfully familiar with my sister. Why is that?” Cayson asked, looking confused.
Colden replied, “Didn’t she mention? I’m her junior fellow apprentice. Without her…” He began sharing their friendship and credited Yelena for his fame, explaining how she had written the song that launched his career.
Before he could say more, Yelena quickly covered his mouth, saying, “You’re saying too much p>
Colden pouted, looking up at her with pleading eyes.
Yelena, unfazed by the fact that her hands were still dirty and fishy from the seawater, didn’t hesitate to stop him.
The revelation of Colden’s apprenticeship with Yelena left everyone momentarily speechless. “You’re apprentices with Yelena p>
Once Yelena let go, Colden asked, “Didn’t she tell you p>
“No,” came the response.
Under Yelena’s sharp gaze, Colden chuckled awkwardly and replied, “Well, now you know p>
“Please come and assist us,” Yelena called out.
The group was pleasantly surprised to see a substantial amount of seafood, just as Colden had described. “Did you catch all of this p>
“Indeed. They may not be particularly large, but they’re wild and should be quite tasty p>
