Chapter 951:
In return, Austin’s lips quirked into a grin, his eyes reflecting the quiet joy of the moment.
Together, hand in hand, they ascended to the top floor in the elevator, a quiet anticipation hanging in the air.
The private room was bathed in soft, ambient lighting, and the sound of delicate music floated around them, like the notes of a sweet serenade.
They were escorted to a table by the window, where the city stretched out beneath them like a canvas of lights. Neon signs flickered, and the steady hum of traffic pulsed through the streets, but none of it could disrupt the tranquil beauty that enveloped them.
Above them, the glass ceiling revealed the beautiful night sky. The starlight danced with the glow of the city below, creating an atmosphere that was as romantic as it was surreal.
Yelena’s voice broke the spell. “What are you in the mood for tonight p>
Austin squeezed her hand, his gaze warm and unwavering. “Anything you choose. I’ll savor it, just like everything else that comes from you p>
She opened the menu, its design as elegant as the evening itself. The photos of the dishes were so tantalizing that they seemed almost too good to be true.
She chose with care: a perfectly pan-seared silver cod, its golden, crispy crust giving way to tender, succulent flesh, paired with a rich, tangy sauce. A black truffle steak, the finest cut of beef, prepared to perfection so that each bite seemed to release a new depth of flavor, its earthy truffle aroma blending effortlessly with the steak’s natural richness. And finally, a dessert platter, an artwork of vibrant colors and delicate shapes, an edible masterpiece that promised to delight the eyes as much as the taste buds.
One by one, the dishes arrived at their table, each more mouthwatering than the last.
With grace, Yelena cut into her steak, savoring the first bite and allowing the flavors to unfold on her tongue before swallowing. She looked up, her voice soft but insistent. “Try this—it’s incredible p>
Austin smiled, lifting his fork and transferring a perfect bite of steak to her plate, trading his for hers in a quiet gesture of shared indulgence.

He tasted it, letting the flavors linger before nodding approvingly. “It’s divine. But honestly, no matter how exquisite this food is, it wouldn’t be the same without you here p>
A warm blush spread across Yelena’s cheeks, her eyes sparkling with happiness, as if the world around them had melted away.
They spoke as they ate, their conversation flowing as effortlessly as the wine. From the simple moments of their daily lives to the dreams of the future, their words mingled with laughter, wrapping the evening in a gentle warmth.
When dinner came to an end and they made their way home, Austin turned to her, his expression serious. “I’ve got some clues about the rare heart medication you mentioned. There’s an auction tomorrow p>
Yelena nodded, her resolve steady. “I’ll go with you p>
Austin, assuming her request was simply out of curiosity, agreed without hesitation.
As they stepped inside their home, they were met with a storm. Ellen stormed past them, her fury palpable. “No! I’m not going, and I don’t care! If you’re so keen on him, you can meet him yourself p>
Ellen cast a fierce glare at Yelena and Austin, who had just entered, before she bolted back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
Maggie sighed, a sound tinged with helplessness.
Yelena approached gently, her voice soft as she inquired, “Maggie, what’s going on p>
