Chapter 361
All this was because Theo’s attitude towards her had changed
Ellinor waved her hand, “No, I’ll grab lunch myself.”
Devin hurriedly asked, “Where are you headed? Shall I arrange for a driver to take you?”
As she walked towards the door, Ellinor replied, “No need, I just wanted to go out for a walk.”
Looking worried, Devin asked, “Do you have your phone? Is it fully charged? You know, just in case Mr. Blanchet tries to reach you or something comes up. We wouldn’t want you unreachable”
Devin remembered the day Mr. Blanchet returned from a business trip to find Mrs. Blanchet missing. He’d spent the entire night frantically searching for her, almost turning over the whole of Greenhaven…
Thinking about it, Devin felt scared. Having changed her shoes at the entrance, Ellinor reassured him, “Don’t worry, I won’t get lost! Devin, you go about your business, I’m
off.”
*Take care on your way,” Devin said, bowing as he saw her off.
Ellinor left at a leisurely pace.
Byran had been listening to Devin’s conversation with Ellinor. When he saw her leave, he quickly quit his game and followed her out.
As soon as they were out of the Blanchet family’s front gate, Byran caught up with Ellinor “Hey, Ellinor, where are you going?”
Ignoring him, Ellinor hummed her favorite tune and headed towards the nearest bus stop…
Feeling snubbed, Byran stepped in front of her, furious. “I’m talking to you! Where are you going? Are you dumb or deal?”
Ellinor stopped abruptly. “Are you my boss? Do I need to report my every move to you?”
Faced with Ellinor’s contemptuous look, Byran remembered he was there to apologize. He awkwardly mumbled, “Didn’t you say you were going to punish me? You never gave me a response, so I’m wondering how long I have to wait?”
“Why would I punish you for something you didn’t do?”
Byran was taken aback. “You really believe I didn’t do it? Then why did you make me stay?”
“Would you have been able to play video games all morning at the Blanchets if I hadn’t?” Ellinor rolled her eyes at him.
Byran thought about it and realized she had a point….
If he’d gone home with Patricia, he would’ve been stuck studying under Balfour’s watchful eye the whole day with no chance to rest!
By then, Ellinor had continued walking
Byran didn’t try to stop her this time, instead following her quietly. He asked, puzzled, “Ellinor, why are you so sure I didn’t do it? I mean, I’ve been pretty mean to you before. You shouldn’t have a high opinion of me…
“I don’t have a high opinion of you,” she said, “I just don’t think you’re smart enough to write those logically sound articles online in such a short time”
A childish anger appeared on Byran’s handsome face. “Ellinor, are you looking down on me?”
Ellinor glanced back at him. I’m actually very curious. Since you didn’t do it, why did you admit to it?”
