Elaina did not reply since she knew very well that Sophie would for sure say no to it.
Sophie would think that she deserved someone better, such as Leonel.
It was just that, unfortunately, Leonel did not like her back.
Soon, Jalen started to serve the dishes. Noticing that, Elaina stood up. "I'll go help Jalen out in the kitchen now. Wait a bit here."
Elaina thought, I've said things very clearly to Peter. Now it's up to him to decide how to handle those matters. And I believe, a smart person like him should be able to think of a better way.
Meanwhile, noticing that Elaina was here in the kitchen, Jalen said, "I don't need a helper here. Just wait outside and take a rest."
"I can really do some work right now since I haven't done anything today yet," Elaina said as she took over a dish from Jalen before placing it on the dining table.
