Chapter 469
But her faith made her decide not to ditch the kid
Ellinor had it rough growing up She was pushed around mercilessly by everyone around her, with no one willing to take her in
After numerous twists and turns, she ended up in a monastery, where she grew up under the care of the people there, living a relatively stable life and experiencing the warmth and kindness of the world.
That’s why she knew she had to pay it forward.
No matter what, she willingly slept with him that night and the child was innocent in this.
Regardless of what the future held, she decided to keep the child and would do everything she could to take care of it. She was dead set on not letting the child suffer like she did
When Patricia walked into the office with her baby. Haillie jumped up to greet her like she was seeing a long lost pal
“Patricia, you made it! Come in with the baby, you must be beat from the trip.”
Patricia flashed a sweet smile and said, “Nah, not at all I pushed the stroller here and just left it outside the office. Haillie, have you been waiting long?”
Haillie let out an exasperated chuckle and shook her head. ‘Not too long, it was nice to hang out with Balfour for a bit.”
Patricia could tell by the situation that Haillie was probably given the cold shoulder by her brother again.
She glanced around, noticed the untouched lunch box on the table, and turned to her busy brother, ‘Bro, Haillie kindly brought lunch, why haven’t you eaten?”
Balfour paused his work, looking up at his sister with a soft tone, “Patri, I’m not hungry yel
Patricia persisted, ‘Bro, you can’t skip meals no matter how busy you are Eat something before you get back to work, or I’ll get mad!
Balfour never backed down from anyone, but he couldn’t say no to his sister, “Okay, fine. I’ll eat first, let me wash my hands.”
After saying that, Balfour got up and headed to the office bathroom
Seeing Balfour finally going to wash his hands and eat the food she made, Haillie looked gratefully at her good friend and sincerely said, ‘Patricia, thank you for getting Balfour to rescue me!”
Patricia, ever the empathetic one, comforted her, “Haillie, we’re besties! My brother is just a workaholic. Don’t take it to heart Besides, I already consider you my sister-in-law!*
Haillie was even more touched Patricia was the best person in the world and she would always be her best friend
Just like before, no matter what happened, she would always stand by Patricia unconditionally. Anything she did for her was worth it
“By the way… Patricia, did you see? That Ellinor is at the secretary’s desk outside, she’s Balfour’s secretary now!”
Patricia pretended to be a bit shy at the mention of Ellinor and nodded, “Yeah, I saw But I think Ellinor is just here to work, she probably doesn’t mean any harm.” Seeing her innocent reaction, Haillie said, ‘Patricia, you’re just too kind. That’s why Ellinor used to bully you! Dont worry. I’m out now and I’ll keep an eye on her for you!” After saying that, Haillie reached out and touched the face of the little boy in Patricia’s arms, and warned her, ‘Patricia, now that you and Theo have a child, marriage is Inevitable. Now, we absolutely cannot let Ellinor interfere and mess things up””
Patricia’s eyes were sparkling making her seem as innocent as a baby deer.
“Don’t worry. Haillie, you’re probably overthinking it. Ellinor is a good person.”
