Chapter 565:
When Austin noticed his phone lighting up, he quickly grabbed it to see who had messaged him. A wave of excitement washed over him when he realized it was a message from Yelena. But upon reading Yelena’s words, he found himself utterly taken aback.
Was it possible that Yelena believed his recent confession was merely meant to rescue her from an uncomfortable situation?
In reality, there was some truth to what Austin had just said. His desire to pursue Yelena was sincere.
“Oh, there are those who hide their confessions of love as jokes, but sadly, they don’t succeed,” John shook his head slowly.
Austin shot John a frosty glance and curtly said, “Be quiet p>
John made his way out, darting off swiftly.
Following a restful sleep, Yelena felt significantly more at ease.
As Yelena descended the stairs, she saw that the lights in the dining room were still lit. Upon noticing her arrival, the maid quickly said, “Miss, you’re awake? Your mother had some food prepared for you. It’s still warm, ready for you to enjoy the moment you woke up p>
Yelena’s heart filled with warmth. Her family never scolded or criticized her for her unpredictable schedule. Instead, they lovingly prepared delicious meals for her to enjoy when she woke up.
“Have my parents gone to bed?” Yelena asked.
“Yes, they’ve all gone to sleep p>
“Let’s keep it down then, so we don’t wake them,” Yelena said.
“Okay p>

Once Yelena had finished eating, she finally took a moment to grab her phone and check it.
Upon noticing a message from an unknown number, Yelena was suddenly struck by a memory.
She muttered, “I hadn’t realized it’s Great-uncle Jack’s birthday tomorrow. Looks like I’ll need to make a trip there p>
Yet, the message came from an unknown number. What could the sender possibly want?
Following that, Yelena took a leisurely stroll in the garden to walk off the food before heading back upstairs to sleep.
The next morning, Yelena rose at her usual time and set out for a morning run. Donna assumed Yelena would be asleep much longer and told the maid to keep quiet.
To Donna’s surprise, the maid told her Yelena was already up and had even left for her morning workout.
Donna was taken aback, not anticipating Yelena’s burst of energy—rising in the middle of the night to eat, returning to sleep, and now heading out for a run.
Yelena returned home in time for breakfast, feeling energized.
Luckily, breakfast was not at the old Harris Mansion; otherwise, Yelena might not have wanted to return.
“It’s Saturday, Yelena. Why not stay in bed a little longer?” Donna asked.
Yelena answered, “No, I need to take care of something later. Someone from the Roberts family—who I should be calling great-uncle—has always been as kind to me as Grandpa Roberts and is celebrating his birthday today. I need to go and join the celebration p>
When Donna learned it was an elder’s birthday, she immediately said, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I need to arrange a gift for you to bring. I’m afraid we don’t have much time for shopping, so let’s just see what we have at home p>
The gift Donna eventually decided on was no ordinary present—it was a lavish, rare piece of ginseng. Once in fragile health, Donna had been doted on by Callum and Cayson, who scoured the globe for the finest remedies—things that were so exclusive, most people would never even dream of having.
