Chapter 781
Dean was caught red–handed, and he cleared his throat nervously. “No, I just wanted to invite you over for dinner. I really wanted to thank you. And Grandma Alyssa wants to meet you too. She wants to thank you personally for saving me”
Ellinor thought for a moment, “When?”
Dean immediately replied, “You can come anytime today!”
If she went to the Howard family’s home during the day when Balfour wasn’t home and Patricia was too busy taking care of the sick kid, she might have a chance to find some clues related to her mom being framed back then.
After thinking about this, Ellinor agreed, “Grandpa Dean, I really don’t need any thanks. But since you two are inviting me so warmly, it would be rude if I refused. So, I’ll pay you a visit.”
Dean was overjoyed, “Great! That’s fantastic! I’ll send a car to the Blanchet Villa to pick you up later.”
Ellinor responded, “Okay”
After hanging up the phone, she saw a message from Theo on her phone that he had sent that morning. “Don’t forget to eat breakfast when you wake up”
Ellinor replied with a smile. “Theo, you’re such a nag!”
After washing up and changing her clothes, Ellinor went downstairs to find that the mess from last night was gone and everything was neat and clean.
Devin respectfully came over, “Ellinor, your breakfast is ready: please have it while it’s hot.”
Ellinor nodded, and as she was heading to the dining room, she asked, “Devin, who cleaned up downstairs?”
Devin truthfully replied, “Ellinor, it was Ms. Veronica. She didn’t sleep all night and cleaned up all the water and broken things on her own.
I was surprised to see everything so clean this morning, but since it’s Ms. Veronica’s first time doing housework, some details were missed. I had someone do a thorough cleaning afterward.”
Veronica, afraid of being scolded by her brother in the morning, turned her fear into motivation and learned how to clean up on her own.
Ellinor was pleased, “Where is she now?”
“Ms. Veronica just went back to her room to sleep this morning; she must be very tired.”
“Alright, let her sleep till she wakes up on her own.” Ellinor sat down at the dining table and started eating her breakfast leisurely, then said, “Oh! Devin, I have to go out after breakfast. There will be a package delivered later, it’s a gift for Ms. Veronica. Give it to her when she wakes up.”
“Okay, Ellinor“.
Devin nodded in reply, feeling a bit touched. She didn’t expect Ellinor to give Ms. Veronica a gift. It seemed like their relationship was going to improve. which was a good thing.
Before Ellinor finished her breakfast, a servant came in to report to Devin, “Devin, there’s a car outside. They said they are here to pick up Ellinor”
Devin looked at Ellinor in confusion, “Ellinor, what’s this?”
Ellinor put down her utensils and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, “Yes, they’re here to pick me up.”
Devin seemed a bit worried, “Ellinor, where are you going? I can arrange a car for you, you don’t need to let others pick you up. Uh… Ellinor, who’s driving the car that came to pick you up?”
Ellinor knew what Devin was worried about, “Don’t worry, I’ve told Mr. Blanchet where I’m going and who I’m meeting. He knows all about it. He’ll pick me up tonight, and we’ll come back together. You don’t have to worry.”
Devin nodded, “That’s good, Ellinor. Please be careful.”
“Okay, I got it!”
Then Ellinor walked out the door and got into the car sent by the Howard family to pick her up.
