Chapter 784
“Mr. Howard, we’ve got a situation!”
Byran was in the middle of doing his homework when Carlos rushed in, interrupting his train of thought. Irritated, he said, “What’s up now? Carlos, if you keep panicking like this, I’ll slap you!”
Carlos looked innocent, “Mr. Howard, there really is a situation. I just saw a guest arrive downstairs. Dean and Alyssa are being super nice to her” Byran was even more irritated, “So what? We always have guests. They’re just old friends of my grandparents; there’s nothing weird about that.” Carlos shook his head. “No, it’s different this time. It’s not an old friend of Dean and Alyssa’s, it’s a young girl. You know her tool”
Byran frowned, “A young girl that I know? Who? Carlos, can you just tell me everything at once?”
Carlos said, “It’s that Ms. Mendoza who always gives you a hard time.”
Byran immediately put down his pen, looking surprised, “Ellinor?!”
Carlos nodded, “Yes, Ellinor! Mr. Howard, don’t you think it’s weird? The Howards and the Blanchets have been on bad terms for years. Why are Dean and Alyssa treating Ellinor like she’s their savior?”
Byran wasn’t listening anymore, his eyes were burning with rage, “Ellinor dared come here?! Where is she? I need to settle some old scores with her!”
Carlos replied, “Dean just took her to the garden. Mr. Howard, what old scores do you have to settle with Ellinor?”
Byran rolled up his sleeves determinedly, “You don’t need to know! Finish my homework for me; I’ve got to step out for a bit.”
Carlos looked troubled, “Mr. Howard, I can’t do your homework for you. If Balfour finds out, he’ll kick me out!”
Byran said dismissively, “Just do it! If you don’t tell, I won’t tell, how would he know? Hurry up and write it for me!”
Carlos shook his head in exasperation. He knew he shouldn’t have told Mr. Howard the news.
The Howard family’s garden was huge. Apart from the house in the middle, the rest of the area was filled with various plants. It was very well maintained and looked absolutely beautiful.
Dean was leaning on a cane with the help of a servant, happily introducing to Ellinor which flowers he planted and which ones were taken care of by his wife, Alyssa
Ellinor was listening to Dean’s introduction while observing the environment of the Howard family’s home.
She didn’t have much of an impression of the Howard family’s home.
If her mother had taken her away from the Howard family when she was already five years old, she should’ve been able to remember things from that age, but aside from a vague sense of familiarity, she had no memory of this place.
Or perhaps she had almost no memories from before she was five.
As she was walking, she noticed a particularly stunning sea of flowers in front of her. The flowers were a rare grayish–blue color and were incredibly beautiful.
Ellinor had never seen such flowers before. She was about to ask Dean what they were when she turned around and saw that the old man’s face was slightly off, “Grandpa Dean, are you okay?”
Grandpa Dean stopped walking and rubbed his head, “I’m fine. I’m just really happy that you came to see me today. I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine this morning.”
Hearing this, the servant immediately became nervous, “Dean, how could you forget to take your medicine? You absolutely can’t forget that. I’ll take you back to take it right now.”
Dean felt it would be inappropriate to leave a guest halfway through a tour, so he wanted to hold on a little longer.
Ellinor saw what Dean was thinking and said, “Grandpa Dean, it’s okay. Go back and take your medicine first. I’ll walk around by myself for a bit and come find you later.
