CHAPTER 677: CHAPTER 677: SHATTERING HER DREAMS STEP BY STEP (1)

Raina was slightly taken aback, glanced at Elias Hawthorne, and then opened her mouth to eat.

Elias, seeing Raina cooperate, fed her with even more enthusiasm.

Uncle Coleman watched, his expression shifting slightly, and he couldn’t help but say, "Master, you’re still young, full of vigor at this age. It’s fine to seek novelty and have some fun outside, but at home, there should still be a proper mistress; that’s how it should be."

Uncle Coleman had already heard from Claire Lowell about the things between Elias and Raina and was aware of the recent uproar between them.

Originally, Uncle Coleman didn’t take it seriously.

In his opinion, Elias didn’t seem like someone who would mess around, and the persistence of such rumors might be for some other reason, but it seemed that way now.

That’s why he couldn’t help but speak up. While it seemed like he was reminding Elias, he was actually telling Raina that she was just a casual plaything for Elias.

Raina felt a bit annoyed.

Even now, she wasn’t completely certain about her feelings with Elias, but no matter what, she and Elias were indeed a married couple.

How they should proceed as a couple was their business, and it wasn’t up to outsiders to meddle.

Even though they didn’t know her true identity, that didn’t mean she could forgive them for trying to plant other women by her husband’s side in various ways.

Because, Raina knew, even if they knew she was a woman, it wouldn’t matter, because the person they wanted Elias to marry had always been Claire Lowell.

As long as Elias didn’t comply with their wishes, they would always be dissatisfied.

However, regardless of her annoyance, Raina didn’t say anything, as Uncle Coleman, after all, had helped Elias during his most difficult times.

Elias wasn’t planning to let it slide, not in the slightest. He seriously said, "Uncle Coleman, I brought Leo back today to let everyone know she’s the one I’ve chosen, not anyone else, and there won’t be anyone else. From now on, in The Dark Tower, she is as important as I am."

"Master!" Uncle Coleman’s face changed at Elias’s words.

The Umbral Zone did not support same-sex marriage but didn’t strongly oppose it either. Furthermore, if Elias Hawthorne admitted it publicly and insisted on having Orion Rivers move into The Dark Tower, that would be more effective than any legal recognition.

Raina hadn’t expected Elias to be so straightforward; she was quite surprised and couldn’t help but say, "I don’t need to move into The Dark Tower."

Raina knew these people would never agree. In the past, the more they disagreed, the more she wanted to rebel against them, but now she couldn’t be bothered.

Isn’t it more pleasant to just go home and pet the kids?

Thinking of the three little ones at home eagerly waiting for her, Raina couldn’t wait to wrap up this messy matter and leave when the Sea Calm Stage arrived.

Uncle Coleman added, "The Dark Tower cannot be at the command of just anyone."

Elias’s gaze swept over, and he calmly said, "Perhaps I didn’t express myself clearly. Leo isn’t just anyone; she is the only love of my life. I hope you understand, Uncle Coleman."

Uncle Coleman’s expression changed immediately. It was the first time Elias had used such a stern tone with him, and his gaze towards Raina suddenly changed.

Suddenly, a fragrance wafted in.

Raina turned to look and saw Claire Lowell leading a group of maids into the living room.

The maids were carrying trays filled with various dishes, and the aroma came from there.
