Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 418

When they had dinner, all dishes were local specialties. Olivia liked to eat morel mushrooms. Daniel

noticed that. He then began to serve Olivia food. He did not cat a single bite himself.

Anna had always been attentive, and noticing this, a faint hint of envy welled up in her heart.

The name “Daniel Sullivan” could be deemed widely known. It was known to everyone. Countless

handsome men and beautiful women flocked to him, yet he remained so dedicated and virtuous.

Anna thought, “This Olivia is really fortunate. She has beauty, intelligence, a good family background,

and a top–quality man like Daniel loving her. Perhaps the universe has given her all its love.”

Anna glanced at Wesley, who was beside her. Wesley only focused on himself. Suddenly, Anna felt

dispirited. She put down her bowl and said, “I’m done eating. Take your time.”

As she spoke, she stood up and left.

Seeing this, Elena hurriedly swallowed the remaining mouthful of food in her bowl and turned around to

chase after her.

Elena had always been clear about her responsibilities. No matter how unwilling she was, during this

period of being away from home, she had to take good care of Anna.

“Anna, why did you eat so little?” Elena said. She caught up with Anna. Then, she reached out to

support Anna by the arm.

Anna turned her eyes to glance at Elena and sighed. “I’ve got no appetite, so I came out for a walk,”

she said.

The two of them walked toward the outskirts of the village, strolling leisurely along the small path..

“Elena, do you know how Olivia got to know Mr. Sullivan?” Anna asked. She was curious.

Elena shook her head and said, “I don’t know. By the time I became Miss Taylor’s assistant, she was

already engaged to Mr. Sullivan.”

“Mm,” Anna replied as she nodded. “This Olivia is remarkable. She’s very skillful at managing men. Mr.

Sullivan is someone with high status and position, yet he is so caring toward her in her presence, She

has clearly put in a lot of effort.”

Elena furrowed her brow. She did not engage in this topic.

Anna directed her gaze at Elena and said, “By the way, how are things with Captain Chavez? Why

didn’t I see him at dinner?”

Elena explained, “Captain Chavez is responsible for ensuring everyone’s safety.

Their mealtime is different from ours.”

Anna nodded and said with a tone that carried a sense of sympathy. “Sigh. Bodyguards have no

choice. When the employer eats, they have to stand and patrol.”

At this point, Anna suddenly stopped and said to Elena apologetically, I’m sorry, Elena. I’m not looking

down on Captain Chavez. I’m just stating the facts. But it’s okay. He’s working hard now, but he doesn’t

have to work so hard after he’s with you. You’re the heiress of the Wayne family. The Wayne family is

currently facing some decline. Despite the challenges, your family’s background and position are still

relatively strong and advantageous when compared to the average family. At the end of the day, you’re

still better off than someone from an ordinary family. “In the future, you can let him marry into your

family and randomly get him at job position in the company. Then, he won’t have to work so hard as a

bodyguard

here.”

Elena was expressionless. She had grown somewhat accustomed to Anna belittling her in every

remark that Anna uttered, regardless of the topic. Anna would then indirectly elevate herself.

Elena thought, ‘Let it be. If this can make her happy, I don’t mind being mocked. After sending Anna

back to her room to rest, Elena received a call from Joanne. “Mom,” she said.

Joanne’s tone was filled with joy as she said, “I heard from Anna that you currently have romantic

feelings for someone. Is that true? When would you bring him home for me to take a look?”

Elena thought, ‘Anna the gossipmonger is really fast!‘

Elena had a headache. She said, “Mom, it’s not confirmed yet. Please don’t listen to Anna’s baseless

talk.”

“Baseless talk?” Joanne said. Her tone turned cold and her expression suddenly became serious. She

pressed, “Elena, tell me the truth. Are you still thinking about. Wesley? I must warn you. Wesley is your

future cousin–in–law. You have to have a conscience, and you must know ethics. You absolutely

cannot do something as despicable as snatching someone’s husband.”

“Mom!” Elena said. She could not take it anymore. She could not help but retort, “What are you talking

about? Do you really think so little of your daughter? What do you mean by ‘despicable‘? Are you

saying that I’m despicable?”

Elena was so angry that her wrist trembled slightly and her voice quivered.

For many years, she rarely went back home because she did not want to face Joanne.

She thought, I just don’t understand. Back then, it was clearly me and Wesley who had the agreement

to marry in the future. So why would I end up snatching someone’s husband? I don’t have such an

intention. Even if I do, it would be Annal

who’s acting despicably.

Although the agreement to get married was not formal, Elena had mentioned it to Anna several times,

but Anna did not care about her feelings. Anna insisted on being with Wesley.

“On what basis should I care about her feelings then?‘ Elena thought.

The more Elena thought about it, the angrier she became. She could not help but shout, “Mom, am I

your daughter, or is Anna your daughter? If you like Anna, treat her as your daughter then.”

Joanne sighed and said, “I wish I could. Unfortunately, I don’t have the good fortune to give birth to

such a good daughter. Instead, I gave birth to a troublemaker like you who only knows how to anger

me.”

Upon hearing this, Elena instantly lost her energy. Suddenly, she did not want to argue anymore.

She found it quite pointless to argue.

She said calmly, “Mom, I still have work to do. Let’s not talk about it now.” “What kind of work?” Joanne

said as she frowned. “Look at you. You don’t listen at all. You’re a young lady, yet you insist on working

out there. Isn’t it good to come back and get married? What’s the point of doing some lousy work? How

much can you earn? Is our family so poor that we need your meager salary?” “Mom…” Elena was

angry. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

“Alright, alright, alright,” Joanne said. “If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t talk about it then.” Joanne

was helpless. “I can’t control you. If you like working, then work. I don’t expect you to achieve anything.

It’s just a hobby. However, you can’t delay finding a partner. You have to act promptly.

“e don’t mind that. It’s easier to

“Anna told me that that young man has a good character and demeanor, but his family background is

not as strong. However, control someone who comes from a weak family background. It’s best to let

him marry into the family. With your father and brother watching over him, he won’t dare to bully you.”

“Okay,” Elena said. “We’ll talk about it later.” After hanging up, Elena was annoyed. Every time she

ended a phone conversation with her mother, she would be annoyed for quite a while.

She could not concentrate on her book, so she stood up and decided to go for al walk outside.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Anna standing at the entrance. Elena’s pupils

constricted, and her gaze swept across Anna’s shoulders. Seeing her cold demeanor, she reckoned

that Anna had been standing there for quite a while. “Anna, why are you here?” Elena said, lowering

her eyes and suppressing her

anger.

Anna explained with a smile, “I arrived just now. I didn’t go in when I heard you talking on the phone.”

As she spoke, she handed Elena a bag of oranges. “This bag of oranges is for you.” she said. “Send it

to Captain Chavez.”

Elena did not want to move. She casually came up with an excuse, saying, “That isn’t good, right?” she

said. “Girls who are too forward will be looked down upon.” “No, you won’t,” Anna said as she shook

her head. “What era are we in now? Why are you still so old–fashioned? There’s no such saying.

Nowadays, it’s popular to make the first move when you meet a good guy, or else someone else will

snatch him away.”

Upon saying that, Anna pushed Elena out and headed outside, saying, “Hurry up and go.”

Feeling helpless, Elena had no choice but to carry the bag of oranges and walk toward the home where

Captain Chavez was staying.

She really did not want to go. If this continued, Captain Chavez would

misunderstand her intentions. She was only trying to handle Anna and make this trip to Ritchfield

smoother. She did not really intend to pursue a man.

Besides, she really was not familiar with Captain Chavez.

It was so awkward to give him apples and oranges.

Elena intentionally slowed down her pace, trying to delay and wait for Anna to leave so that she could

return. However, Anna followed right behind her. Anna had a look that indicated that she was insistent

on Elena delivering the oranges, and she would not give up until Elena did so.

Elena was left speechless.
