Chapter 720
After leaving the bedroom, Theo glanced at his watch and said to Devin, who was not far away. “Don’t disturb her now. If she hasn’t gotten up for breakfast by ten,
then wake her up.”
Devin nodded respectfully, “Don’t worry, Ill take good care of Ellinor.”
“Good”
He agreed, then started walking towards the stairs. He stopped at the top of the stairs and added, “Don’t let her eat too many snacks”
Devin was taken aback by Theo’s meticulousness, then responded, “Alright, got it
Even though he hadn’t left yet, he was already missing her
He’d never missed anyone like this before, so this must be what it felt like to be in love.
When he returned from his last business trip, she had disappeared, which had left a deep shadow in his heart that even turned into some sort of heart disease.
He took one last lingering look at the bedroom door but seemed a bit uneasy After a while, he finally walked down the stairs.
After Theo left, Veronica Blanchet, who was hiding in the comer, came out with a sour face.
She had seen everything Theo had instructed Devin on how to take care of Ellinor before leaving. He was so good to her!
She really didn’t understand why Theo cared so much about Ellinor. Ellinor was just a country girl, how could she compare to a high class girl like Patricia?
Veronica and Ellinor had never gotten along. She hoped that Theo would marry Patricia. Now that Theo wasn’t home, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to mess with Ellinor?
So she quickly walked to Theo’s bedroom. She was about to knock on the door when Devin stopped her.
Devin tried to reason with her. “Mr. Blanchet specifically asked me not to disturb Ellinor’s sleep. If you need her for something, wait until she wakes up at ten!”
Veronica was visibly upset, “Who acknowledges her in this family? Who does she think she is? Do we have to wait for her to wake up to see her? She’s been sleeping in at this hour since she came to the Blanchet family’s home. We don’t pamper lazy women like her!”
She was speaking loudly, clearly trying to let Ellinor hear her.
Devin looked troubled, “Ms Blanchet, please don’t do this. Mr. Blanchet would be upset if he found out, it’ll affect you.”
Veronica didn’t listen, she held her head high, “I don’t believe my brother would hurt me for a stranger! Devin, move out of the way; don’t block my path!”
After saying that, Veronica pulled Devin aside and knocked harshly on the door, “Ellinor, I’m coming in”
After saying this, she didn’t wait for a response and just pushed the door open and went in..
Devin wanted to stop Veronica, but it was too late. Plus, Ellinor was still sleeping, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him, a man, to go in. He was in a dilemma.
Devin quickly called some maids to get Veronica out, but they found that she had locked the door.
What was Ms. Blanchet trying to do?
Devin hurriedly went to find the spare key to Mr. Blanchet’s bedroom.
Once Veronica entered the room, she saw that Ellinor wasn’t sleeping but was lazily wrapped in a blanket, playing on her phone on the bed.
Veronica got angry when she saw Ellinor’s lazy and comfortable look. She remembered how she had been locked up in jail for half a month because of Ellinor During that time, Ellinor must have been enjoying her comfortable life at home, right?
