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 âEllinor, can I have a moment of your time? There are some things Iâd like to discuss with your Balfour said gently A small frown creased Ellinorâs brow. She thought for a moment, then turned to the man standing beside her, âTheo, thereâs a shop up ahead. Could you grab me a bottle of yogurt? Iâm thirsty Couldnât 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 Ellinorâs biological brother.
They were siblings separated for many years. Since Ellinor was willing to talk to him, he couldnât deny Balfour some respect.
Theo nodded slightly, ruffling Ellinorâs hair lightly. Sure, Iâll go get it Then he turned and walked slowly towards the shop As Theo receded into the distance. Balfour looked at Ellinor, âLetâs go to the garden up ahead. The car parks full of exhaust I wouldnât want you to feel sick.
Ellinor nodded Since she had agreed to stay and chat, she wouldnât 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.â
Ellinor made no fuss and sat down Balfour then neatly arranged his trouser legs and gracefully sat next to her.
âMr. Howard, spit it out. I need to get home,â said Ellinor Balfour helplessly looked at her, Iâm sorry I actually wanted to invite you over for a nice meal today but then this unpleasant incident happened. You even almost hurt your babyâ
Ellinor smirked, âYour family has caused me enough trouble. A simple apology wonât cut it.â
Balfourâs brows knitted together his eyes full of guilt. âYou really wonât come back home?â
âOf course I will! Ellinor replied without hesitation Balfourâs eyes brightered Was she willing to come back home?
Ellinor continued, Iâm going home with Theo later.â
Balfour was stunned before he let out a bitter laugh, Does the Blanchet familyâs house feel like home to you?â
Ellinor shook her head. âIt is just a big house to me, nothing special. My home is wherever Theo, the man who truly cares about me, is.â
Balfourâs feelings were quite mixed. As her brother, he didnât even get to choose the man for his sister, and she had already married.
âAs long as Theo makes you happy. thatâs what matters. If he ever dares to betray you, just tell me, and Iâll teach him a lesson Ellinor smiled, âIf heâs not faithful to me, then I wont need him anymore. You donât have to help me teach him a lesson. I, Ellinor, would rather be alone than settle for just anybody!â
