Chapter 708
Ellinor casually look Theo’s hand and introduced him. “This is my boyfriend, I’m sure you know him, so no need for introductions‘
Dean was taken aback, “What? He’s your boyfriend? Ellinor, Isn’t he way older than you?”
Theo initially was pleased with how Ellinor was presenting him, but at the mention of their age difference from Dean, his mood instantly soured.
Dean was a straight shooter and tended to be a bit dramatic
After seeing Dean’s over–the–top reaction, Ellinor chuckled a bit helplessly, “Yes, he’s older than me, but he’s really my boyfriend”
Dean shook his head and sighed, “Ellinor, you’re so young, why’d you go for such a serious and older guy?”
Balfour, who had been quietly observing from the side, couldn’t help but laugh, despite being in a sour mood.
At this point Theo’s expression darkened, and he shot Balfour an annoyed glance.
Dean continued, as if advising a misguided youngster, “Ellinor, it’s not too late to listen to me. Break up with him before you get married, and I’ll introduce you to a handsome and nice young man!”
With that, Theo snapped. He held Ellinor’s hand tightly and emphasized, “I’m sorry, we’re already married! Dean, I didn’t have the chance to introduce her earlier, this is my wife, Ellinor”
Dean frowned after hearing Theo speak. He’d seen Theo at the event but chose to ignore him due to a longstanding grudge.
Wasn’t Theo involved with Patricia? How did he get tangled up with sweet Ellinor?
Theo pulled Ellinor up. “It’s getting late, we won’t disturb your rest any longer. Goodbye”
His emphasis on the last sentence was loaded with menace.
After saying that, Theo draped his arm around Ellinor’s shoulder and led her away.
Dean felt a mix of indignation and loss as he watched their retreating figures. He felt like Theo had the sweet Ellinor stolen away.
So, he got up and yelled after them, “Ellinor, that young man I mentioned earlier is a good catch; he won’t mind if you’re divorced. I can still set you two up!”
Theo, who was just leaving, suddenly halted. His aura turned icy cold, if it were tangible, it would have felt like sharp icicles piercing everyone in the room.
Balfour rubbed his temples, somewhat exasperated at his grandfather’s antics, ‘Grandpa, what are you doing? I thought you didn’t like meddling in other people’s business.”
After seeing that Ellinor had been led away by Theo, Dean sat back down, feeling a tad irritated, “Is this meddling? I visited the Porters today. Mr. Porter’s health is deteriorating rapidly; he might not have much time left.
He always wanted to see his grandson get married, but Halley hasn’t found the right girl yet. He can’t just marry anyone.
Good girls are hard to come by these days. Ellinor is such an innocent girl, maybe if she married Halley, it would fulfill Mr. Porter’s dying wish.”
Balfour was silent for a few seconds, understanding his grandfather’s concern for the Porter family but puzzled by his assessment of Ellinor.
“Grandpa, why do you think Ellinor is innocent?”
Dean gave him a stern look after hearing his question..
