Chapter 162 Brenna’s Child

Ellie softly ran her hand over her son’s hair, her expression one of clear frustration. “I’m so envious. He is my son, but he’s so attached to you. His interests mirror yours–cars, mechanics, airplanes, warships… He’s even into coding, just like you. Sometimes I think he might actually be your child.”

Brenna smirked slightly. “What can I say? We spent a lot of time together when he was little.”

After a brief hug, Brenna handed Ellie some flowers. “You look as stunning as always. Now I’m the one who’s

envious.”

Ellie, only a few years older than Brenna, possessed remarkable beauty and a figure that belied her status as a mother of a six–year–old. Her flowing hair and meticulous makeup only enhanced her allure.

As Brenna and Ellie conversed, a young couple passed by, both donning sunglasses and baseball caps. The man kept his gaze fixed on Ellie, secretly taking pictures with his phone, and even whistled at her.

The woman with him seemed irritated by that, tugging at his arm. “Why are you staring at her? What’s so special about her? She probably got plastic surgery to look like that.”

Brenna was prepared to ignore them, but then, she recognized the pair–it was Denis and Isabella!

Isabella also noticed Brenna and let out a loud, disdainful snort, rolling her eyes.

Brenna was puzzled by Isabella’s behavior and looked at her with an icy gaze.

Isabella walked over to Brenna with confidence. “Don’t be too smug! Soon, you will face bankruptcy.”

Brenna responded, confused, “Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Isabella snorted once more but didn’t say another word. She shot Brenna a glare before walking away with

Denis.

As they left, Isabella kept looking back at Brenna and the little boy, overhearing him call Brenna “Mommy Brenna“, which left her thoroughly baffled. She wondered when Brenna had had such a big child? Had she secretly had a baby when she had been overseas?

This revelation seemed like a big scandal. She couldn’t resist a smug grin. Could the Harper family’s darling daughter have an illegitimate child? And who could the child’s father be?

Contemplating whether Ethan would stay with Brenna if he learned she had a child, Isabella hastily snapped several pictures of Brenna and the child.

After capturing the photos, she noticed Denis was still admiring the beautiful woman beside Brenna.

Annoyed, she grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at her, and pouted theatrically. “Am I not prettier than he She must have had plastic surgery before. Her beauty is not real.“

Though Denis was clearly annoyed by Isabella, he kept his frustration to himself and just followed her out of

the airport

Inside the Wagner family’s car, Isabella mentioned the child who had been with Brenna earlier.

“Did you catch what that cool little boy called Brenna?” she asked Denis.

Denis, not particularly interested in talking to Isabella, responded with impatience. “No”

Isabella’s annoyance grew, but she held back from snapping at Denis. Sworried that upsetting him could jeopardize her family’s relationship with the Wagner family, or worse, Denis might not want to marry her.

She sneered, “You were too busy staring at that woman beside Brenna! You missed it–the boy called Brenna

‘Mommy‘.”

“1…” Denis had indeed been too distracted by Ellie to notice that earlier.

Isabella, still irked but unable to snap at Denis, said, “Did you notice how close that boy was to Brenna?”

Denis’s blank stare confirmed he hadn’t.
