Chapter 706
Dean had a twinkle in his eye for Ellinor. “No biggie, I just wanted to meet the young lady who saved my life!”
Ellinor gave a small smile, “You’re laying it on thick; I just happened to be passing by and lent a hand. I wouldn’t say I saved your life, you’re giving me too much
credit.”
Dean was adamant, “But you did! If you hadn’t shown up. I could’ve been seriously hurt by that classless wornan or even kicked the bucket at the hospital”
Ellinor didn’t know how to respond
Dean flashed a warm smile, “Can’t have the person who saved my life show up and not roll out the red carpet! Come, let’s sit in the living room and chew the fat.”
Ellinor was at a loss for words.
She was never too hot on the Howard family.
Despite being blood related, everyone in the Howard family had a hand in driving her mother away, not a single one of them stood up for her
In her eyes, they were all the enemy.
But right now, she hadn’t figured out the whole story behind what happened, so she couldn’t avenge her mother yet.
Dean was too gung ho. Ellinor tried to escape the situation, but her attempts were useless. Finally, she gave in, “Fine”
After heanng Ellinor agree to stay, Dean immediately ordered his staff to prepare top–notch coffee for her and led her to the living room.
Theo kept quiet and followed alongside Ellinor.
Balfour was frowning He was not too thrilled about the situation, but he couldn’t go against Dean’s wishes.
At that moment, Patricia came over with a puzzled look, “What’s going on? Why did Grandpa say Ellinor saved his life?”
Balfour was in a foul mood, he shot Patricia a cold look and said sternly, “Patri, you still owe me an explanation for your behavior just now! Go back to your room and think about it, you better have a good explanation when you come out!”
Patricia felt a sinking feeling, did he really not trust her anymore?
What could she do? She needed to figure out how to explain this to him.
Before heading back to her room, Patricia shot Ellinor a resentful glance, seeing Dean chatting warmly with Ellinor really stuck in her craw!
That dam Ellinor! First, she stole her man, and now she was sucking up to Dean. What was she up to?
They sat down in the living room, and the staff brought in coffee and fruit.
Dean looked at Ellinor kindly, “Last time we met, I had temporary blindness from a chemical burn in my eyes during an experiment. I just recently regained my sight! Now I can finally see you; you’re just as beautiful as I imagined”
He continued to gaze at Ellinor, nodding approvingly with a look of delight in his eyes.
Balfour, sitting on a single–seater sofa, felt it was a bit inappropriate for Dean to stare at Ellinor like that. So he cleared his throat to remind him, “Grandpa!”
