Chapter 831:

Elaine’s face lit up with joy.

“I’m doing well. Now that you’re back, my heart feels at ease.”

“But why do you seem thinner?” Elaine looked at Madisyn closely, a pang of concern tugging at her heart.

Madisyn chuckled.

“Mom, I haven’t lost any weight. In fact, I’ve gained a little. See, my arms have more to them now.” She playfully pinched her arm, and Elaine laughed in response.

“Alright then, why didn’t you tell me you were coming back? I’ll have someone grab breakfast for us right now.”

“Don’t bother, Mom. We’ve missed your cooking,” Madisyn reassured her.

Andrew nodded in agreement.

“Exactly, it’s been way too long since we’ve had your food.”

Noticing Andrew, Elaine softly replied, “Alright, I’ll go ahead and prepare breakfast for you.”

She chose not to bring up the fact that Andrew had disappeared during the engagement ceremony.

She had no complaints, but Andrew, feeling the weight of his actions, said, “Elaine, I’m really sorry for not showing up on the engagement day. It must have caused you a lot of trouble.”

Elaine waved her hand dismissively, her smile warm and forgiving.

“I knew something must’ve happened for you not to show up, but now that it’s settled, everything’s fine. As long as you two are okay, nothing out there can touch what we have here.”

Glenn leaned forward slightly.

“Did Savannah and her family do something to you?”

Andrew gave a nod.

“Yeah. I wasn’t expecting them to stoop that low.”

They didn’t ask anything more. Whatever had happened was over now, and the peace they shared in this moment felt far more important.

Elaine hurried toward the kitchen.

Glenn followed close behind, ready to help.

On the sidelines, Howard and Waylon lingered awkwardly.

Waylon nudged his brother with a sly grin.

“Never thought I’d see the day you’d get the same treatment as me.”

Howard shrugged with a half-smile.

“It’s fine. At least Mom saw us.”
