?Chapter 861:


    Across the room, Emmett’s patience finally snapped. “Enough! If it weren’t for you, none of this would have happened. You’ve brought shame to the Mitchell family!”


    “You’re ming me for this?” Elsa shot back, her voice rising. “Wasn’t it your perfect son who ran off and humiliated our family?” She clutched the nket on herp, her face tightening. All these days, she’d been pushing herself to the limit, thinking she was securing Kenny’s future.


    Was that wrong? Why was she being med now?


    “Rosanna, what do you think?” Kenny asked, gesturing toward the polished exterior of the home. “It’s a little over 2,000 square feet.”


    Without letting go of Kenny’s hand, Rosanna stepped through the doorway with him. Every inch of the house radiated careful thought and modern taste. The space was wide and open, with sunlight flowing in effortlessly from both ends. Not only was it well-lit, but it also struck a perfect bnce between style and practicality.


    Her eyes trailed over the sleek furniture. Every piece seemed like it belonged in a showroom. Though Rosanna’s family might not afford such branded furniture, she recognized some international brands. The sofa looked like it was made for sinking into—unbelievably soft.


    “Did you really buy this with your paycheck? A couch like this has to be worth over a million. There’s no way you have that much money,” she said, already guessing who had gifted Kenny this house, her eyes brightly fixed on him.


    Kenny didn’t bother dodging the truth. “It was a gift. My brother gave it to me as an engagement present.” His voice dropped. “I haven’t told anyone else. Not Minna. Not my parents. They think I’ll be moving into the house they arranged for me. But I wanted this house to be our ce.”


    Rosanna narrowed her eyes, her voice sharp with disbelief. “Don’t deceive me. If you really wanted this life with me, then why did you let your family push you into that engagement? If I hadn’t dragged you away today, you’d probably be picking out wedding rings with Minna right now. Do you really think I’ll believe you’ve always wanted to live here with me?”


    She pulled him down onto the couch beside her. “The lucky thing is that no one can find us here.”


    Kenny leaned back on the couch, slipping his arm behind her shoulders. He looked at her intently. “Even though it looks like I’m getting engaged to Minna, I was hoping you’de to save me. Otherwise, why would I tell you about the engagement? I even told you the time and location.”

    Rosanna let out a long sigh and gave him a dramatic eye roll before pinching his nose. “You were manipting me,” she muttered, her voiceced with mock anger. “You knew I wouldn’t let it happen. You nned the whole thing!”


    Then, she pounced on him with yful frustration, halfughing as she hit him. “You little schemer!”


    Kenny let her hit him,ughing as she did.


    Without warning, he pulled her into a tight hug. “So? Do you like the house? Let’s get married and make this our home.”
