Chapter 866
“Ellinor”
Ellinor was about to get in the car when she heard someone softly calling her name from behind.
She paused, turning around to see Balfour striding towards her
“Ellinor, can I have a moment of your time? There are some things I’d like to discuss with you, Balfour said gently
A small frown creased Ellinor’s brow She thought for a moment, then turned to the man standing beside her. Theo, there’s a shop up ahead. Could you grab me a bottle of yogurt? I’m thirsty!”
Couldn’t Theo tell that Ellinor was trying to ditch him?
In the past, he would never have allowed her to talk privately with another man, but things were different now. He knew Balfour was Ellinor’s biological brother
They were siblings separated for many years. Since Ellinor was willing to talk to him, he couldn’t deny Balfour some respect.
Theo nodded slightly, ruffling Ellinor’s hair lightly, “Sure, I’ll go get it.”
Then he turned and walked slowly towards the shop.
As Theo receded into the distance, Balfour looked at Ellinor, ‘Let’s go to the garden up ahead. The car park’s full of exhaust I wouldn’t want you to feel sick.”
Ellinor nodded. Since she had agreed to stay and chat, she wouldn’t mind walking a bit farther.
They arrived at the hospital garden, where Balfour found a place to sit, taking off his jacket to cushion the stone bench, “Ellinor, sit here.”
Ellinor made no fuss and sat down.
Balfour then neatly arranged his trouser legs and gracefully sat next to her.
“Mr. Howard spit it out. I need to get home,” said Ellinor.
Balfour helplessly looked at her. Im sorry. I actually wanted to invite you over for a nice meal today, but then this unpleasant incident happened. You even almost hurt your baby.”
Ellinor smirked, “Your family has caused me enough trouble. A simple apology won’t cut it.”
Balfour’s brows knitted together, his eyes full of guilt, “You really won’t come back home?”
“Of course I will!” Ellinor replied without hesitation.
Balfour’s eyes brightened. Was she willing to come back home?
Ellinor continued. “I’m going home with Theo later.”
Balfour was stunned before he let out a bitter laugh, “Does the Blanchet family’s house feel like home to you?”
Ellinor shook her head, ‘It is just a big house to me, nothing special. My home is wherever Theo, the man who truly cares about me, is.”
Balfour’s feelings were quite mixed. As her brother, he didn’t even get to choose the man for his sister, and she had already married,
“As long as Theo makes you happy, that’s what matters. If he ever dares to betray you, just tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson”
Ellinor smiled, “If he’s not faithful to me, then I won’t need him anymore. You don’t have to help me teach him a lesson. I, Ellinor, would rather be alone than settle for just anybody!”
Balfour’s gaze faltered for a moment as he admired the strength in his sister.
