Chapter 842
Xenia’s eyes were welling up with tears as she looked at McNeil Howard
Instead of comforting her, McNeil Howard just went and sat by the bed, silently watching his still unconscious young son
Ellinor watched Patricia leave, then turned to Xenia, who was crying.
Xenia and her daughter, Patricia, were both great actors, especially when it came to crying scenes.
But it seemed like Xenia was performing for the wrong audience. McNeil Howard wasn’t interested in watching
Even though Xenia was no spring chicken, she looked pretty good for her age thanks to the wealth of the Howard family. However, she didn’t seem to be able to catch McNeil Howard’s attention.
McNeil Howard was very cold towards Xenia, he wouldn’t even give her a second glance.
Ellinor didn’t think any better of McNeil Howard because of his coldness towards Xenia. She looked at him with a gaze filled with disgust.
What a shameless man!
Once, he betrayed her mother and had an extramarital affair with Xenia.
Now that he was tired of Xenia, he treated her coldly and heartlessly. He might even have a new lover.
Disgusting!
Feeling someone’s gaze on him, McNeil Howard looked over.
But Ellinor had already turned her face away “Theo, the air in the room isn’t good. Let’s go out for a walk.”
“Okay.”
Theo agreed, then gently put his arm around her shoulder, and they left the room together.
He didn’t really want to get involved in Howard family matters. He was just there to accompany Ellinor.
Ellinor was lightly dressed, so Balfour wanted to put a coat on her. “Ellinor, you should wear more. It might be cold in the hallway.
Theo raised his hand to stop Balfour. “No need, I’ve got it.”
Then he took off his own coat and draped it over Ellinor.
Balfour retracted his coat and didn’t say anything else. But he decided to follow them out because he worried about Ellinor.
Ellinor didn’t look back. She just heard Balfour’s footsteps. “Mr. Howard, you don’t need to follow us. You should stay here and look after your brother”
Knowing he owed Ellinor a lot, Balfour didn’t dare upset her, so he stopped. “Theo, take good care of her.”
Theo gave him a cold glance. “That’s none of your business.”
Balfour was speechless.
Balfour sighed as he watched Ellinor be led away by Theo. He knew he couldn’t force anything, as long as Ellinor was okay, that was enough..
