Chapter 947
Typically, Theo wouldn’t ring him up. The only link between them was Ellinor. Something must’ve happened to Ellinor, right?
This thought made him pick up the phone instantly.
After Theo’s words, Balfour’s pupils constricted, and earnestly replied, “Alright, got it. I’ll stay home for the day.”
After hanging up, Balfour shut down his laptop and looked up and ordered the driver, “Turn around, take me home.”
The driver was dumbfounded, “Mr. Howard, you’re not going to the office today?”
“No, I’m not going Take me home.”
“Alright.”
When Balfour rushed back, he ran into Theo, who was dropping off Ellinor.
Seeing Theo’s car, Balfour also had his driver pull up at the gate. He got out of the car and headed towards Ellinor.
Theo and Ellinor got out of the car together. Theo adjusted her loose hair with his slender fingers and whispered something to her.
Then, he straightened up, looked at Balfour who had walked up close, and said solemnly, “Please take good care of her.”
Balfour gave a slight nod and said, “Don’t worry, I will.”
Without any more words, Theo patted Ellinor’s head and said, “Call me if anything comes up.”
Ellinor nodded, “I got it! You should hurry to work. You’re already late.”
Balfour spoke softly, “Let’s go, Ellinor. Come inside with me.”
Ellinor replied and followed Balfour through the gate.
Watching Ellinor leave, Theo finally drove off.
It was a few hundred meters from the gate to the Howard family’s house.
Ellinor kept pace with Balfour, not uttering a word all the way.
Balfour had questions for her. He turned to look at her, asking gently, ‘Ellinor, I’m glad you could come home today, but I’m curious why you’re here.”
Theo didn’t say why Ellinor was coming over, just that she would be coming by their house.
He knew that Ellinor wasn’t there to return to her roots. There must be something else.
Ellinor kept looking at the road ahead as she stated, “I came to chat with your sister.”
Balfour squinted slightly, somewhat surprised. He thought, “She came to see Patricia?”
After their last encounter, Ellinor and Patricia were on pretty bad terms. Why would she want to see Patricia?
Before Balfour could ask another question, they walked into the Howard family’s house. As soon as they entered, they heard Patricia’s mother, Xenia speaking in front of Dean Howard and Alyssa Howard.
“You guys have seen the news on the internet too, right? I’ve always had a hunch that Ellinor wasn’t a good kid.
But since she saved Dean’s life, I kept my mouth shut. Now that her dirty laundry’s been aired, it confirms my suspicions! Dean, I think her saving you wasn’t a mere coincidence, but very purposeful!*
Dean had always had a good impression of Ellinor. Despite the rumors on the internet, he still kept an open mind.
