Chapter 809:
His movements were deliberate and gentle, as if Donna were the most precious thing in his life, and he was careful not to jostle her in his arms.
Dina watched Callum as he walked away, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Kaiden remarked from the side, “Callum is impressive. Even at his age, he can carry Donna and walk so steadily p>
Dina snapped back to reality, smiling at Kaiden as she said, “If you worked out more, you’d probably be able to do the same.” That was exactly what Kaiden had been waiting for.
Kaiden loved receiving compliments, and Dina’s words immediately lifted his spirits.
Without saying a word, Kaiden extended his arms to lift Dina, catching her off guard.
However, just as Dina had expected, Kaiden couldn’t lift her at all. Kaiden awkwardly let go of her and said, “Honey, you seem heavier than before.” How else could he explain not being able to lift her?
Dina’s eyes flickered with disdain. She thought to herself that it wasn’t her gaining weight, but rather that Kaiden had become too weak.
When Kaiden was a celebrity, he had been meticulous about his appearance, but now, as an investor, he had long stopped paying attention to it. Now, Kaiden had gained a considerable amount of weight. His appearance had become less polished, and the allure he once had as a movie star seemed to have faded.
Dina gave Kaiden a playful smile, feigning modesty as she said, “I might have gained just a little weight p>
Kaiden laughed knowingly and said to Dina, “I knew it p>

In the elevator, Cayson suddenly received an urgent call, and his expression shifted dramatically.
After ending the call, Cayson turned to Yelena and said, “Yelena, make sure you and the others go straight to your rooms. No matter what, don’t open the door for anyone p>
Yelena, noticing the seriousness in Cayson’s expression, asked, “Cayson, what’s going on? Has something happened p>
Cayson tried to reassure Yelena, not wanting to cause her any worry or fear. “It’s nothing serious, just a small issue. I’ll take care of it.” As Cayson spoke, he pressed the button for the ground floor.
Yelena responded, “If it’s really just a small issue, I’ll come with you. I’d like to see how you deal with it p>
“You’re a woman. You don’t need to be involved in things like this,” Elianna said with clear displeasure.
In Elianna’s view, Yelena was just a woman who would eventually marry, and she believed Yelena shouldn’t get too entangled in the business of the Harris Group.
Yelena replied, “Mrs. Harris, aren’t you a woman as well p>
Elianna’s gaze darkened, and she responded irritably, “What are you implying p>
Yelena replied calmly, “You’re a woman too, and you handle the affairs of the Harris family. Your word carries weight, and no one should question it. Why is that p>
Elianna scoffed and remarked, “How can you even compare yourself to me p>
Cayson shifted his attention away from his phone, his expression serious. He looked around at everyone, all of whom were family, and then said, “Today is the first day of the resort’s soft opening, but there’s been an incident p>
“An incident? What do you mean?” Everyone was taken aback.
