Chapter 1318
The butler glanced at Byran and then at Ms. Mendoza’s reaction.
He fretted that the visitor might be a friend of Ms. Mendoza, and not letting her in could tick off Ms. Mendoza.
Although Balfour didn’t say it outright, everyone in the house had more or less guessed Ms. Mendoza’s identity.
Pissing off Ms. Mendoza was no small matter.
However, the butler didn’t see any hint on Ellinor’s face. Ms. Mendoza was just nonchalantly eating her lunch, seemingly uninterested in the visitor.
It seemed that the visitor hadn’t won Ms. Mendoza’s favor, so he was free to handle it.
The butler nodded and turned to leave.
A few minutes later, the butler returned. “Ms. Mendoza, Byran, I’ve conveyed your message to Ms. Sophia, but she refuses to leave, claiming she has important things to tell Ms. Mendoza.”
Ellinor lifted her head and was about to give the butler instructions when Byran impatiently stood up. “What’s so important? Let her tell me first! I’ll handle her myself!”
With that, Byran strode out the door.
After seeing Byran leave, Ellinor didn’t say anything else to the butler and continued eating her lunch.
She really didn’t want to see Sophia; it was better for Byran to handle it.
Byran arrived at the door to see Sophia standing outside their iron gate, holding a box that seemed to be a supplement.
Did she think he’d be nice to her just because she brought a gift?
Byran crossed his arms. “Hey! What are you doing at my house?”
Sophia saw Byran come out and forced a smile, her voice a bit dull. “Byran, you’re home! I heard Ellinor might be living at your place, so I came to visit.”
Byran was unimpressed.
“Ellinor is indeed at our house! She’s doing great; she has everything she needs and doesn’t need your concern!”
Sophia suddenly choked up. “Is it Ellinor who doesn’t want to see me? I know she doesn’t like me, but I wouldn’t have come if I didn’t have something important to tell her. Byran, I know you’re a good and righteous person. Can you help me open the door to see Ellinor?” Sophia started crying, leaving Byran a bit at a loss. He frowned. “Hey! Speak up! Why are you crying? We have surveillance at my house, which can prove that I didn’t mistreat you!”
Sophia’s voice got huskier, and tears welled up in her eyes. “Byran, please let me in to see Ellinor for a moment. I just need a few minutes. I’ll leave as soon as I say what I have to say.”
Noticing that Sophia’s crying wasn’t a pretense, Byran wavered a bit.
“What exactly do you want to tell her?”
“It’s a woman’s business, so I can’t tell you.”
Byran frowned. After seeing her cry, he decided to let her in for a while. He planned to supervise her conversation with Ellinor the whole time, believing she wouldn’t do anything rash.
So, Byran reached out to open the gate.
A fleeting look of triumph flashed in Sophia’s eyes, and she hurriedly thanked him, waiting to go in.
But just then, a car horn suddenly sounded, interrupting Byran’s action of opening the door.
