Chapter 920:
Before Bella could say anything else, Callum called Donna over. “Let’s light the candle together, shall we p>
Donna chuckled, warmth filling her eyes. “Sure p>
Callum positioned Donna in front of him, gently wrapping an arm around her waist. Guiding her hand that was holding the candle, they lit it together and placed it on the stand.
Donna smiled at the flickering candlelight. “This is beautiful!” Her radiant joy was contagious. Callum, caught up in the moment, leaned in and kissed her cheek.
Time seemed to pause. Donna’s mind went blank. Even her breath hitched.
Then, snapping back to reality, she shyly pushed him away. “We shouldn’t be doing this, not here,” she whispered.
Callum only chuckled at her flustered reaction, his eyes brimming with affection.
Meanwhile, from a distance, Dina watched. A storm of emotions churned within her. Jealousy coiled tight in her chest, her hands clenched into fists so hard that her nails nearly broke skin.
Her gaze drifted. Not far away, Kaiden sat slumped in a chair, his breath heavy and labored.
Time had not been kind to him. Years of neglecting his health had left him out of shape, far from the lean and striking man he once was. Yelena, on the other hand, watched Callum and Donna with genuine happiness in her heart.
Yet, without warning, another face surfaced in her mind. Austin. If he were here, would he be like Callum? Would he share in her joy? As these thoughts took hold, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze pierce through her.
Instinctively, she turned her head. And there, staring at her, was Addie. Addie hadn’t expected Yelena to notice so quickly. For a brief second, shock flickered across her face.
Yelena studied her, and then sneered. Had Addie been plotting something just now? Otherwise, why would she look so guilty?
“Do… do you know where John is?” Addie blurted out, her voice stiff.

Yelena’s expression remained composed as she answered, “John isn’t mine to keep. How would I know where he is p>
Addie scoffed, her eyes flashing with barely contained anger. She silently vowed to make Yelena regret this one day.
“If you dare lie to me, I’ll…” Addie threatened.
Yelena arched an eyebrow at Addie, utterly unfazed by her threat. “What p>
Just then, Addie’s gaze flickered past Yelena—she had spotted Janey, John’s mother, approaching from a distance.
Seizing the moment, Addie clutched Yelena’s hand with a desperation that felt almost rehearsed. Her voice quivered, dripping with plea. “Please, give John back to me. You’re stunning—there are countless men who would be drawn to you. But I… I only have John p>
Yelena recoiled inwardly, her distaste clear. Addie’s grip was so fierce it felt like she was trying to wrench Yelena’s wrist out of place.
Without hesitation, Yelena forcefully shook off Addie’s hand, her voice turning ice-cold. “I’ve already told you—I don’t know where he is. If you keep making a spectacle of yourself, know that there will be consequences p>
With dramatic precision, Addie collapsed onto the floor, her face a portrait of distress. But Yelena caught the flicker of triumph in her eyes.
She didn’t even need to turn around to confirm it—someone was behind her.
Addie’s tricks were as predictable as a well-worn script. Yelena had seen it all before.
“Who are you? Why did you push Addie p>
