Chapter 683
A servant stepped in, respectfully saying “Mr Blanchet is here!”
Patricia, feeling lost due to Baber’s disappearance, was sobbing in Balfour Howard’s arms. Hearing that Mr. Blanchet had arrived, she summoned some strength and sat upright, looking towards the main door.
The tall and lean figure of Theo made its way into the living room
Unfortunately, he didn’t come alone. He was gently holding the hand of Ellinor, who was right by his side.
Patricia’s uplifted spirits were instantly crushed. Her face turned gloomy, her fists clenched light, and her crying grew louder.
Seeing Theo walk in with Ellinor, Balfour, who felt sorry for his sister, frowned in displeasure.
At this time, Theo even brought Ellinor Did he think Patricia wasn’t stressed enough?!
Theo walked up to them with Ellinor, looking serious, and asked in a deep voice, “What happened? Has Baber been found?”
Patricia wiped her tears as she sobbed, “Theo, you’re here! Baber is still missing…”
Theo’s expression turned stern, “How did he suddenly disappear?”
Choking on her words, Patricia explained, “I put Baber to bed, and when I saw him fall asleep, I went to the bathroom. When I returned, he was gone! I’ve searched everywhere, but I can’t find him…”
Theo squinted his eyes, “What about the home security cameras?”
Seeing Patricia’s unstable emotions, Balfour gently patted her shoulder, then took over the conversation, “We’ve checked the cameras around the front door and the fence; I’m sure he hasn’t left during this period.”
Theo said, “If we’re sure he hasn’t left, then he must be hiding somewhere in the house. Bring some search dogs and look again!”
“Theo, what should we do? I’m really worried about Baber, he’s so small. What if something happens?” Patricia stood up weakly, leahing towards Theo.
Theo, seemingly prepared, stepped back timely and naturally. He moved behind Ellinor and avoided her.
As a result, Patricia almost leaned on Ellinor. Luckily, she stopped in time, but her face was unavoidably a bit awkward.
Ellinor, looking at Patricia leaning towards her, gave a polite smile.
“Ms. Howard, even if you’re heartbroken from losing a child, you should find the right person for comfort. Theo already has a wife; he needs to keep his promise to his wife, he can’t comfort you.”
After being ridiculed, Patricia showed a misunderstood expression, like a hurt kitten. She explained through her tears, “Ellinor, I didn’t mean that; I just lost my balance.” Ellinor smiled, watching Patricia’s feigned innocence, and scoffed, “Is that so? You just lost your balance? Then you should be careful; lean on the wall when you’re unsteady; don’t lean on someone else’s man, or you may fall.”
Patricia’s face turned stiff, “You…”
After watching Patricia be ridiculed, Balfour stepped forward to stop it, “Ellinor, this is not your place to speak!”
Before Ellinor could react, Theo’s arm was already protecting her from behind. His tone was calm but full of warning, “Balfour, you better watch how you speak to my wife!”
“Wife?” Balfour sneered. “Theo, you ruined Patricia’s happiness, and you’re calling another woman your wife in front of her!”
