Chapter 897
Quinton pondered for a moment, “Hang tight for a sec. I’ll go in and let Mr. Howard know.”
A smug smile crossed Patricia Howard’s face, feeling like she’d won again. As long as Quinton went in and told him about her remorse, her brother would no longer be so cold-hearted toward her!
Just as Patricia had imagined, not long after, Balfour Howard came out to meet her himself!
“Brother! I brought your favorite stir-fried veggies!” Patricia ran towards Balfour like she used to, acting like a child and being playful in his
arms.
However, Balfour coldly pushed her away, his gaze sweeping the surroundings deeply, “Where’s Ellinor Mendoza? Wasn’t she with you?”
Patricia was taken aback. Why was his focus on Ellinor too?
“Uh…Ellinor’s waiting for me in the car downstairs! Brother, I’ve made peace with Ellinor. She agreed to ride in my car, which means she’s willing to forgive me! Brother, I know I was wrong. Can you stop being mad at me?”
As she spoke, Patricia tried to snuggle into Balfour’s arms again.
With one hand on Patricia’s shoulder, not allowing her to get any closer, Balfour asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t she come up?”
Patricia’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that her brother’s concern for Ellinor was a bit too much, but she didn’t dare to show her discontent…
“Brother, I invited Ellinor to come up, but she didn’t want to. She said she’d wait for me in the car, so I didn’t force her.”
Balfour’s gaze darkened, “You invited her, and she didn’t want to come up?”
Patricia nodded in agreement.
Balfour felt helpless. Ellinor didn’t want to come up, surely because she didn’t want to see him, her disappointing brother!
Quinton, knowing the situation and the boss’s mind, stepped forward and asked, “Mr. Howard, shall I go and invite Ms. Mendoza up?”
Balfour nodded slightly, “Yeah, talk to her nicely and ask her to come up.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Howard, I know what to do!” Quinton accepted the task professionally and turned to leave.
Watching Quinton leave, Balfour seemed a bit worried, fearing that Quinton wouldn’t be able to convince Ellinor. He wanted to go himself but thought it might draw too much attention.
Meanwhile, Patricia was seeing an uneasy expression on Balfour’s face for the first time. Was it because of Ellinor?
She was extremely curious, why did her brother care so much about Ellinor?
“Brother, why do you value Ellinor so much, even asking Quinton to personally invite her?”
Out of sheer curiosity, she couldn’t help but ask.
Balfour snapped out of it and glanced down at Patricia, his expression bland.
“She saved our grandfather’s life, and the Howard family has always been disrespectful to her. And you, you should know well what you’ve done to her in the past! We were wrong. Shouldn’t we value her more?”
