Chapter 820
When Ellinor came out of the room with Baber, Quinton was still waiting at the door, glued to his phone against the wall.
Quinton immediately straightened up as he heard the door open, putting on his most respectful attitude.
Quinton looked surprised when he saw Ellinor with a kid. What the heck happened?
He’d been standing at the door the whole time, making sure no one disturbed Ms. Mendoza’s rest. So how did Ms. Howard’s kid come out of the room?
“Ms. Mendoza, why is the kid in your room?”
Ellinor responded, “I have no clue. I just saw him run in from the balcony.”
Ah, got it!
Quinton thought there was no way he would have let anyone in. He politely said, “I’m really sorry for the kid’s interruption. Let me handle this. You can go have your meal.”
Ellinor nodded and brought Baber to Quinton, but Baber clung to Ellinor’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.
He had a really comfy nap in the room. It had been a long time since he had such good sleep; he usually had nightmares.
This lady was gently patting him all the while, even singing lullabies to him, making him feel so safe.
This lady was a good egg, not the bad sort his mom made her out to be, so he hoped to stick with her.
Seeing this, Quinton worried Baber would upset Ms. Mendoza, and he quickly said, ‘Baber, come here; let’s find your mom.”
Hearing the word ‘mom‘ made Baber even more reluctant to let go of Ellinor’s hand.
Ellinor raised her hand to pat Baber’s head and softly said, “Remember what I told you?”
Baber paused, nodded, and then obediently let go and walked over to Quinton.
Quinton was stunned. Baber hadn’t been listening to Ms. Howard lately.
But he did listen to what Ms. Mendoza said. It was quite unbelievable.
Quinton picked up Baber and took him back to Patricia.
Ellinor watched as Baber was carried away. She felt a bit worried and hoped he could calm down.
Downstairs, she saw the dining table full of delicious dishes.
But there was nobody at the table. Dean and Alyssa must not have come yet, and Balfour wasn’t there either.
Ellinor went over, pulled out a chair, and sat down to wait while scrolling through her phone.
“What are you doing here? Who said you could sit here?”
She had just sat down when she heard a sharp voice questioning her.
She looked up and saw Mrs. Howard, who dressed in fancy clothes.
Mrs. Howard just came out of the kitchen and saw the teacher of her son at the dining table, so she immediately looked unhappy.
Ellinor responded, “Is there a problem, Mrs. Howard? Can’t I sit here?”
Mrs. Howard said angrily. “Do you think you’re qualified to sit here? You’re just a teacher, and you want to dine with us in our home? I don’t think you kno your place! Get out of here! Today’s dishes are prepared specially for our distinguished guest!”
