[Ellie's P.O.V]

Understanding the situation, I chose not to comment further.

Yili and Hart arrived at the manor a day early. The reunion with my sister filled me with excitement, and Yili felt the same.

"Sis!" Yili's eagerness to run to me was hardly fitting for an alpha who had been in office for a year or two.

Still, I opened my arms to welcome and embrace her. "Yili, it's been too long since I've seen you."

During the three years of exile, when we couldn't see each other and their contact numbers changed constantly, I longed for them. Now, thankfully, our situation has improved immensely.

"Nobody's dead here, no need for such sappiness," Hart commented with a disdainful look, not holding back his venomous words.

Confused, I frowned at him, not understanding why he would say that. It's natural to miss family after a long separation. Was he feeling jealous, perhaps?
