Chapter 815
Balfour responded nonchalantly, lifting his gaze to find that the child who’d just been crying in bed was now missing. His pupils contracted instantly, “Where’s Baber?”
Patricia also quickly turned her head to look around, “Huh? Where did Baber go? Did he leave with that nanny just now?”
Balfour hurried out of the room, asking the servants at the door, all of whom claimed they hadn’t seen Baber leave.
Glancing back into the room, he noticed the balcony door wide open, which connected to other rooms.
“He might have run off to another room through the balcony. He couldn’t have gone far in a few minutes. You guys split up and look for him!”
“Sure thing, Mr. Howard!”
After giving his instructions to the servants, Balfour himself prepared to head downstairs.
Patricia quickly caught up with Balfour, asking, “Balfour, where are you going? Aren’t you going to look for Baber with me?”
Balfour replied, “Baber won’t be lost. I’m going to check the kitchen.”
Patricia looked puzzled, “Balfour, what are you going to check in the kitchen for?”
Balfour casually replied, “We have an important guest today. To show my gratitude, I want to add a few dishes for the guest.”
Patricia frowned incredulously, “Balfour, you can just order the servants to do it. The kitchen is smoky. Why do you need to do it yourself? Are you really going to cook?”
Balfour didn’t elaborate and just responded coldly, “Don’t follow me for now and don’t worry about anything else; just go find the kid!”
Patricia reluctantly stopped, not daring to follow him anymore.
But she started to feel a bit sad.
She had never tasted Balfour’s cooking before. How could Ellinor make Balfour cook for her?
Mrs. Howard was alerted by the servants looking for Baber everywhere, so she found Patricia to ask about the situation.
“Patri, how did the kid go missing again?”
Patricia didn’t care whether the child was found or not. She even wished the child was truly lost. After all, to her, the child was worthless now.
She was eager to tell her mother that the person who saved her grandfather was her rival, Ellinor, hoping her mother could help strategize against Ellinor.
“The person who saved your grandpa turns out to be Ellinor, who’s competing with you for Mr. Blanchet; what a coincidence!”
“I think Ellinor did it on purpose. She wants to get close to Grandpa through this, so she can gain benefits from the Howard family!”
Mrs. Howard pondered for a while, “Patri, do you still have the saffron you bought from abroad last time?”
Patricia was confused, “There’s still a lot left. Mom, why do you suddenly want that?”
Mrs. Howard revealed a triumphant smile, “If consumed moderately, saffron can beautify and nourish the complexion, but if someone drinks too much, it will cause a miscarriage! And overdosing can lead to infertility! Patri, we were worried about how to deal with Ellinor’s child, but now she’s delivered herself to our doorstep!”
