Chapter 737
He squinted slightly, got up, and climbed into the car.
In the backseat Patncia and Veronica were sitting together. They had been chatting, but when Balfour got in, their conversation came to a halt.
Patricia, sitting in the middle, tumed to look at Balfour obediently
“Balfour, are you done with your stuff?”
Balfour, looking worn out, leaned back in his seat and rubbed his temple, asking, “Why didn’t you go home first?”
Patricia pouted and explained, “If I had left first, you wouldn’t have had a ride. So, I asked Quinton to wait for you a bit.”
Balfour just gave a grunt in response, closing his eyes and saying no more.
On the other side, Veronica couldn’t help but ask, “Ralfour, did your negotiation with Ellinor go well? Did she agree to leave my brother?”
With a furrowed brow, Balfour suddenly opened his eyes and shot Veronica a glance. “You really want her to leave your brother?”
Veronica nodded, “Yes! Don’t you want the same? Only if Ellinor leaves my brother can he go back to Patricia! Balfour, I know how much you care for Patricia; you would definitely remove any obstacles in her way to happiness!”
Balfour shot her a warning glance, “Ms. Blanchet, I’d suggest you keep your nose out of this. Don’t disrespect Theo’s wife, Ellinor, or I won’t stand by and watch, even if Theo doesn’t care!”
Veronica was taken aback, “Balfour? Why?”
Patricia was stunned too. She hadn’t misheard, Balfour had actually referred to Ellinor as Theo’s wife.
What was going on? Why was Balfour suddenly taking Ellinor’s side?
Balfour said. “Ms. Blanchet, we don’t welcome Blanchet family members in our car. Please get out.”
After feeling the pressure from Balfour, Veronica was scared. She got out of the car awkwardly. She had originally planned to go to the Howard family’s home with
Patricia
After Veronica got out, Quinton drove the car away.
Inside the car, Patricia tried to lighten the mood, asking, “Balfour, what did you say to Ellinor today?”
“It’s none of your business”
Balfour was in a bad mood; he clearly didn’t want to discuss it
Patricia moved closer to Balfour on purpose, cooing, “Balfour, even if it’s none of my business, can’t you tell me? I’m so curious! Your relationship with Ellinor wasn’t good before, why did you go to the Blanchet family’s villa to see her today?”
Balfour gave her a cold glance and retorted, “Is Baber willing to talk to you now?”
Patricia froze, “Uh..”
Balfour said sternly to her, “First off, you should worry about your own business and stop being so nosy about other people’s affairs!”
Patricia was taken aback. She didn’t expect Balfour to be so strict with her. She put on a hurt and lost face, saying. “Balfour, I know I should be focusing on Baber, but since Theo doesn’t need me anymore, I feel so heartbroken, so…”
Balfour had heard enough. He cut her off, saying, “If a guy doesn’t love you anymore, you shouldn’t keep pestering him. You should find some meaningful things to do! As a girl, your life doesn’t have to revolve around men!”
