Chapter 1033
Chapter 1033:
“I have to go back to work. I’ll come visit you again when I have time. If you feel unwell, you can also come find me next door,” Yelena said as she stood.
Yelena wasn’t too familiar with Scarlet yet, and if she directly offered to check her health, Scarlet might refuse.
But just from a glance, Yelena could tell Scarlet wasn’t in the best condition.
“Alright,” Scarlet replied casually. She didn’t expect Yelena to actually be of any help.
As Yelena stepped out of Scarlet’s house, she nearly bumped into John. John’s eyes widened in pure shock.
Astonished, he asked, “Yelena… Did you just walk out of Ms. Marshall’s house p>
Yelena arched a brow. “What kind of question is that? Did you think I flew out p>
A flicker of embarrassment crossed John’s face. “No, that’s not what I meant. It’s just… surprising. Ms. Marshall keeps to herself. Even I, as a member of the Bowen family, rarely get the chance to see her much p>
Yelena shrugged. “Oh, well, not only did I go inside, but I also had breakfast with her p>
“What?!” John’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. “Is this really possible p>
Yelena shot him a look, her expression dripping with incredulity.
John realized how ridiculous he sounded and gave her an awkward smile. “Maybe she just likes you p>
There was something about Yelena, a kind of inexplicable charm. Only by spending time with her did people truly realize how easy she was to be around.
That was why John grew to like her—not in a romantic way, but as a friend.
At that moment, another voice sounded. “Yelena, why did you come out from next door p>
Yelena arched an eyebrow, casting a glance at Ellen before asking, “So? What’s your point p>
Ellen huffed in frustration. “That Elva is such a pain. Why would you even go there? Are you just asking to be scolded p>
Findm hosts great stories
Yelena paused, realizing she had been so absorbed in her conversation with Scarlet that she had completely forgotten about Elva’s existence.
Yelena said, “Not really. She wouldn’t dare insult me p>
With Scarlet around, Elva wouldn’t even think of doing anything to Yelena.
Ellen, however, clearly wasn’t convinced. In her mind, Yelena was just spouting nonsense.
“Ugh, this is so boring. When can we go home?” Ellen groaned.
Ellen hadn’t been to school for the past few days. Though she had informed her counselor and taken a formal leave of absence, her classmates constantly bombarded her with questions—both in the group chat and through private messages—asking why she wasn’t attending.
Ellen glanced at Austin, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.
Austin noticed the look on Ellen’s face but chose to stay silent, shifting his gaze to Yelena instead.
Annoyed, Ellen gritted her teeth and deliberately leaned in closer to Austin. Austin immediately shoved Ellen aside with a frown. “What are you doing p>
Ellen suddenly raised her voice, making sure everyone could hear her. “Ugh, this is so boring! I just want to go home already p>
Austin replied, “Alright. If you want to leave, then go. I won’t stop you.” He then gestured toward the door. “The exit’s right there. Just walk out. You don’t need my permission p>
