âAuntie, I wanna go tool Belinda stood up, wanting to follow Ellinor, but Byran blocked her by stretching his leg across the seat Annoyed, Belinda said. âByran, what are you doing? Move it!â
Byran smirked. âYou wanna get past? Well, why donât you hop over!â
Belinda helplessly said, âUncle, look at him.â
Theoâs gaze shifted from Ellinorâs disappearing figure back to the two. With a stern look, they immediately quieted down, not daring to bicker anymore.
Bathroom Ellinor exited the toilet and went to the sink to wash her hands.
Seeing her coming out, Haillie handed her the coat she just look off, saying awkwardly, âEllinor, could you hold my coat for a bit? I just realized thereâs nowhere to hang it in hereâ
Ellinor nodded, dried her hands with a paper towel, and took her coat Haillie also came out from the toilet in a bit of a while.
Washing her hands, she looked apologetically at Ellinor and said, âEllinor, Byran has always been blunt. Donât take his words at the table to heart.â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, âHmm? What did he say?â
Stunned, Haillie smiled, âIf you donât care, thatâs great! Ellinor, youâre so easyâgoing!â
Ellinor also smiled, âAm 17 You flatter me.â
Todayâs Haillie was different from the one at the bar last night, she was dressed more casually, and her makeup was exquisite, enhancing her natural beauty.
Ellinor thought this must be the sister that Byran mentioned. Byran tripped her yesterday for this sister, causing her to fall onto Theo.
However, suppose Haillie really liked Theo, and Theo liked her, why wouldnât he marry Haillie and introduce her to the elders of the Blanchet family?
It was perplexing Haillie had finished washing her hands and reached for a paper towel but accidentally knocked the box into the trash binâ¦
She sighed in embarrassment, âOh no! The towels are unusable now! Ellinor, I must bother you with my coat again, my hands are still wet.â
Ellinor was indifferent, âHmm, no problemâ
Theo was gone when they returned to the table, leaving only Belinda and Byran arguing.
Haillie looked around and confusedly asked, âByran, Belinda, why is it just you two left? Whereâs Theo?â
Belinda replied, âHe went out to take a call itâs too noisy hereâ
âOh, I see Haillieâs eyes drifted towards the window, seemingly searching for Theoâ¦
Ellinor, unconcerned, sat back in her original spot and continued to enjoy her barbecue.
After a while, when everyone was almost done eating. Theo still hadnât returned Belinda suggested everyone go outside for some fresh air and wait for Theo there, as the barbecue shop was getting hot.
Everyone agreed with her idea.
As they were about to leave, Haillie stood up, put on her coat, and reached into her pocket, and her face suddenly changed, âOh no! Whereâs my watch?â
Belinda helped her look for it on the table and under it. âThereâs nothing on the table or on the floor!
Haillie, are you sure you brought it today?â
Haillie shook her head firmly. âNo! Iâm sure I wore it. I took it off because it was inconvenient while eating barbecue and put it in my coat pocket! What should I do? I could live with it if it was something else, but that watch is essential. It was the last birthday gift my grandfather gave me before he passed away!â
