Chapter 412
On the other side.
Byran finally finished grilling a batch of his chicken wings, adding an extra ingredient to the sauce with full confidence. He couldn’t wait to show Ellinor the real deal when it came to barbecued chicken wings
However, when he looked up he noticed that the gazebo was empty
Where’d everyone go?
He remembered Patricia leading Ellinor over there for a chat just a moment ago. When had they disappeared?
Byran scratched his head in confusion, then carried his plate of chicken wings into the villa to look for them.
In the villa’s living room, Byran looked around but still couldn’t find Ellinor. Instead, he saw Balfour and Patricia chatting on the sofa.
So, he walked over with his plate of chicken wings Patricia, where’s Ellinor?”
Patricia was resting against Balfour, looking a bit pale and speaking weakly. “Byran, Ellinor cough, cough..”
Seeing this, Balfour frowned with worry, rubbing her back to help ease her cough.
Then, Balfour glared at Byran, who never seemed to get serious, and snapped, “What do you want with Ellinor?”
Faced with Balfour’s stern gaze, Byran instinctively felt pressured and awkwardly held up his plate of chicken wings, … I made some chicken wings and wanted her to try them…”
Balfour’s face showed clear disappointment, his tone dripping with sarcasm, “Patricia’s not feeling well and you don’t even care for her, but you’re eager to run off and feed someone else!”
Hearing this, Byran was taken aback and quickly turned to Patricia. Finally noticing her pallor, he anxiously asked, “Patricia, are you okay? Did you catch a cold from being outside?”
Just now, he was so focused on showing off his grilling skills to Ellinor that he hadn’t noticed Patricia’s discomfort.
Patricia weakly coughed a couple more times, waving it off, “I’m fine…cough cough…”
Byran grew even more worried when he saw Patricia trying to brush off her discomfort, “Should we go to the hospital?”
Balfour was cradling Patricia to comfort her while coldly lecturing the thoughtless Byran
“Weren’t you in the yard just now? You didn’t even notice Patri being bullied by that Ellinor? Now you even want to give chicken wings to the person who bullied Patricial How can you justify that when Patri cares so much about you?”
Byran was taken aback, “What? Ellinor bullied Patricia?”
Balfour’s face was stormy. “Why else do you think Patri suddenly got sick?”
Byran was puzzled, “What happened? Didn’t you take Ellinor to the gazebo for a chat? I was so focused on grilling the chicken wings that I didn’t notice anything else!”
Patricia dropped her gaze, shaking her head silently and looking like she wanted to let the matter rest.
Balfour wasn’t about to cover up for Ellinor, his face was stern and his jaw was tight, “She made Patri kneel before her and even kicked Patri away, causing her to fall to the
ground!*
Patricia wiped away a tear and tried to play it down, “Don’t talk about it anymore, don’t make Byran worry for me…”
Byran frowned, looking conflicted, “That’s impossible, right? Is there some misunderstanding? Ellinor isn’t like that!”
Hearing Byran’s response, Patricia was taken aback, almost thinking she had heard wrong. Byran, who always unconditionally stood by her, was actually defending Ellinor?!
