Chapter 76\u00a0<\/p>\n
All throughout dinner, Noah was visibly distracted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella wasn\u2019t stupid. From the moment he\u2019d rushed off and returned to the restaurant, he\u2019d looked like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t dare ask whether Noah had actually gone to get something from the car or if he\u2019d chased after someone. And if so, who?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah suddenly spoke. \u201cElla, do you know who your sister got engaged to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s heart sank. In truth, she already knew the answer to her question without asking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t understand why, even after Bethany had left, Noah was still completely preoccupied with thoughts about her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What hold did Bethany have on him? She was supposed to be the one he cared about most!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She deliberately said, \u201cNoah, after Bethany broke off her engagement to the Brannons, Mom and Dad stopped talking about it at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she should already be engaged. She might even be married already and is just waiting for the wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m guessing there\u2019s a reason they can\u2019t announce it just yet. Maybe the guy\u2019s even more of a playboy than Cyrus Brannon is?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella hoped that Bethany\u2019s marriage would be a disaster. That way, Bethany would always be beneath her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Noah frowned, lost in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNoah,\u201d Ella couldn\u2019t help probing. \u201cDid you run into my sister just now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah paused, then denied it outright. \u201cNo, so don\u2019t overthink it. I\u2019ve ordered your engagement ring. As for the wedding photos, have you thought about where you want to take them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella relaxed slightly at his words. At least her beloved Noah was still willing to marry her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no rush on the wedding photos. When you have time, can we get our marriage registered first?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Normally, Ella shouldn\u2019t be the one to bring this up, but she really couldn\u2019t wait any longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The longer she waited, the less certain she was of Noah\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah clearly froze when she mentioned the marriage registration. He was silent for a moment before speaking. \u201cElla, there\u2019s no rush on the license, either. Once I finish up with work, we\u2019ll pick a good day to get it done, okay? I haven\u2019t even proposed to you yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s spirits lifted. \u201cNoah!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, Ella, you shouldn\u2019t be the one bringing this up. Wait for me, alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella shyly lowered her head. \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll do whatever you say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After placating her, Noah\u2019s mind wandered once more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Should he really be getting married?\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she got home, Ella told her parents that Noah was planning to propose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary was very satisfied with his future son\u2013in\u2013law. \u201cElla, don\u2019t be willful after you\u2019re married. Noah is a good man, a rarity these days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, Dad!\u201d Ella stuck out her tongue playfully, then looked at Diana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, Mom, I heard Bethany caused trouble at the company again. That friend I asked you to hire? Bethany had her fired, too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? You mean Yvonne?\u201d Diana couldn\u2019t believe it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Mom. Didn\u2019t Uncle Antonio tell you?\u201d Ella pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s face tightened, her eyes darkening. \u201cI see. I\u2019ll give her a piece of my mind soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana talked about teaching Bethany a lesson, but she was still blocked on all platforms. In truth, she felt quite defeated. Meanwhile, Ella was satisfied with what she\u2019d accomplished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany and Silas dropped Evan off at home. With only the two of them left in the car, the atmosphere felt strange. Neither broke the awkward silence for a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas suddenly asked, \u201cAre you working overtime this weekend?\u201d Bethany shook her head. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
