Chapter 388
With the TV blaring, Theo noticed something off the moment he stood at the doorway.
He squinted, casting a suspicious eye over the three strangers in the living room, his brows furrowed.
Two maids approached him dutifully, one helping him off with his coat while the other offered him slippers.
Theo just handed his coat to the maid without changing into the slippers. He asked in a deep tone, “Who are those people in the living room?”
The maids exchanged looks; their faces were complicated. One of them reluctantly said, “They are Mrs. Blanchet’s relatives, but they
She paused abruptly, not sure how to describe the situation where Mrs. Blanchet introduced the new Mrs. Blanchet. It was so complex that they hadn’t even figured it out yet.
“But what? Keep talking!”
The maid was under pressure, worrying about how to explain this to Mr. Blanchet without upsetting him..
Just then, Devin stepped in, saying, “Mr. Blanchet, you’re back! The three guests in the living room are Mrs. Blanchet’s parents and sister. They came to see Mrs. Blanchet this morning.”
Upon hearing the explanation, Theo slowed down his pace, and his gaze towards the living room softened.
Once upon a time, he and Ellinor were just partners, so he didn’t pay too much attention to her family.
Now, if he wanted to live a serious life with her, getting to know her family was necessary.
“Where is she?”
He asked naturally.
Devin looked complicated and answered, “Umm…Mrs. Blanchet is in her room packing: she said she was making room for her sister.”
Packing?
Theo frowned. What was going on now?
What’s she throwing a fit about now?!
Just as Devin was about to explain what happened today in detail.
Over in the living room, Sheila had just finished her dessert and was about to head to the bathroom. As she stood up, she noticed the eye–catchingly handsome man at the door.
Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Blanchet, you’re back!”
Over here. Theo hadn’t heard the full story from Devin.
So he wasn’t aware of the specific details.
Naturally, he was more polite to his wife’s family.
Seeing Sheila approaching him, he nodded slightly, “Hello, welcome.”
