Next, Byran swaggered in.
After seeing Ellinor, he was even more shocked than Belinda. âEllinor, how did you get so chubby?!â
Ellinor was speechless.
After not seeing each other for half a year, he was still as blunt as ever.
Byran came closer to her. âHmm, you did put on some weight, but youâre still cute!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. âDonât you have class today?â
Byran shrugged and said nonchalantly, âI do have class, but itâs lunch break now. I heard from Ida that she was going to pick you up today, so I came over.â
Ellinor put the hot milk she was holding on the table, stared at him, and asked, âDoes your family know about you and Ida?â
Byran scratched his head awkwardly. âWell⦠my brother might know a bit, but the rest donât know yet.
Itâs not that I donât want to tell them; itâs that Ida doesnât want me to officially tell them yet. Sheâs not ready to meet my parents.â
འཡ འའའà½à½ ཡ à½à½¦ ༢ འའའའཡ༠à½à½ After looking at Byranâs innocent face, Ellinor was a bit worried for Ida.
âIf your family all objected to you being with her, what would you do?â
Byran crossed his legs and thought for a while. âI would try to communicate with them and get them to accept her!â
âAnd if they donât agree, no matter what?â
âThat doesnât matter; I would just run away from home and move in with Ida! She can afford to keep me.â
Ellinor was amused by his answer. âIs that all the ambition youâve got? Nothingâs even happened yet, and youâre already considering moving in with Ida? I think youâre just looking for a free ride!â
Byran disagreed with this viewpoint. âWhatâs wrong with that? As long as two people truly love each other, who cares about the formalities? And I didnât say I would totally rely on Ida! Of course, I would also work hard to better myself, take good care of her, and protect her in the future!â
Ellinor massaged her temples. âYou should focus on getting into university before you talk big! If you tell your brother that youâre planning to live off a woman, I bet he would rather break your legs than let you do that.â
Byran crossed his arms. âHumph! Stop trying to scare me with my brother! Yes, Iâm scared of my brother, but when it comes to Ida, even if came, I wouldnât change my mind. Even if he really broke my legs, Ida would help me recover.â
He probably thought he sounded very courageous, but to Ellinor and Ida, he seemed naive and a bit foolish.
my brother âAnd how do you know I would definitely help you recover?â Ida ended her work call and came back, just in time to hear Byran bragging to Ellinor. After hearing Idaâs voice, Byran immediately straightened up, not acting all high and mighty anymore but was still stubborn. âI just know! You would definitely help me because you care about me.â
Usually, if Byran said something childish, Ida would just let it slide, but now, in front of the boss, she felt a bit embarrassed and couldnât help but rub her temples.
âEven if I were willing to help you treat your injury, it might end in failure. Do you think I would still take care of you if you became disabled?â
Without hesitation, Byran answered. âYes!â
Ida scoffed. âWell, youâre really overestimating me. Iâm not that noble.â
Byran frowned and spoke in a displeased tone. âIda, I know youâre just being hard-headed; you would definitely not ignore me when the time comes.â
