Chapter 709
Tve been around the block and seen my fair share of people. You think I can’t tell a good girl from a bad one? You dare question Ellinor’s character?
The reason I didn’t introduce her to you is because you don’t deserve her!”
Balfour raised an eyebrow, feeling unimpressed “And why is that?”
Dean looked at his grandson He didn’t spoil him like other grandparents Instead, he was rather disgruntled “I’m your grandpa, don’t you think I know what type of person you are? You might look all high and mighty, but you’re nothing more than a low life
Even if I introduced a nice girl to you, you wouldn’t treat her right, you’d just mess things up.
Introducing a good girl to a guy like you would be bloody criminal!
But Halley is a good lad. He’s just a bit green when it comes to love and too wrapped up in his music. If Ellinor ended up with him, she’d be well taken care of.
What a shame that such a good girl got snatched up by Theol
Balfour sipped his coffee, forcing a smile.
Sure, he agreed with his grandpa’s scathing opinion of Theo, but he wasn’t too thrilled about the old man’s assessment of him either.
What kind of grandpa talked about his grandson like that?
However, Dean insisting on finding a girlfriend for Halley brought back some old memories.
The Porter family and the Howard family go way back; they even had a marriage arrangement.
Mr. Porter’s grandson had been engaged to Mr. Howard Senior’s granddaughter since they were kids.
But the granddaughter that was part of the arrangement wasn’t Patricia, it was his long–lost sister, Pearl Howard.
With Pearl missing, the marriage was put on hold. Some people thought about having Patricia fulfill the marriage contract.
But it was no secret that Patricia had always been head over heels for Theo. Everyone knew it, and the Howard family chose not to bring it up anymore.
Because of this, Dean always felt indebted to the Porter family. Now, with Mr. Ponter seriously ill and on his deathbed, Dean was in a rush to find a good girl for Halley so that Mr. Porter could pass away in peace.
Dean was a picky man, he even found Patricia lacking.
The fact that Ellinor received praise from him and that he wanted to introduce her to the Porter family was intriguing.
But seeing Theo’s face turn sour was pretty amusing.
Meanwhile, outside the Howard family’s mansion, in a black car.
“Regrets?” Theo opened a bottle of water and handed it to Ellinor.
Ellinor took the bottle, raising an eyebrow in confusion. “Regret what?”
Theo opened another bottle for himself, taking a serious sip. “Didn’t you want to meet that talented singer and dancer? Aren’t you regretting not saying yes to Dean?”
