Chapter 862:
Cayson’s brow furrowed. Despite her explanation, he remained skeptical.
“Hey, Yelena, have you planned your meeting with the folks from Kheley? I’d like to vet them for you,” Cayson proposed.
The mention of the blind date drew the attention of the entire family toward Yelena.
The memory of a recent kiss shared with Austin in his car flashed through Yelena’s mind.
Yelena’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, glowing visibly.
“We met earlier today,” Yelena confessed.
“What?! Why didn’t you mention that p>
Cayson’s concern escalated. Observing Yelena’s flustered demeanor, he feared she might easily be swayed by flattery.
“Yelena, men often have a way with words. Please be cautious,” Cayson advised her earnestly.
“That’s fine,” Yelena responded, trying to brush off his concern.

Observing Cayson’s evident anxiety and agitated state, Donna feared he might blurt out something inappropriate and startle Yelena. She turned to him and asked, “Cayson, need some water to calm down p>
“Mom, I don’t need water, I p>
A stern look from Donna silenced him, and he understood her intent. Realizing he was overreacting, Cayson inhaled deeply before saying to Yelena, “This was just your first meeting. Take your time to see how things develop. Compatibility is never guaranteed p>

Yelena merely nodded, choosing to remain silent. She held back the news of Austin’s proposal, knowing it would only unsettle Cayson further. As Yelena’s expression eased, Cayson let out a sigh of relief.

Elianna had also invited Bella, who, although no longer residing at the house, frequently visited due to their close bond. Learning that Yelena’s encounter with the suitor from Kheley had apparently gone smoothly, Bella felt a weight lift off her shoulders.
Bella began to envision her return to the family home. Despite the comforts of the apartment arranged by Jarvis, it lacked the warmth of her true home, where everything was familiar and beloved.
“So? How did things go with the young man from Kheley?” Elianna asked eagerly.
Callum, noticing the intensity of Elianna’s interest, felt a surge of irritation. His displeasure was evident, and he struggled to maintain his composure around his mother. He believed Elianna was unfairly pressuring Yelena.
With a composed demeanor, Yelena responded, “It went well p>
“Really?” Elianna replied, nodding and visibly pleased. “Then you must be quite happy with how it turned out p>
Yelena nodded and said, “I am p>
From the sidelines, Bella’s smile carried a hint of irony as she observed the scene.
Bella was amused by Yelena’s response. She suspected that a few flattering words from the date might have been enough to sway Yelena. Previously anxious, Bella now felt a sense of relief.
