âEllinor, I suggest you walk me to the door Ellinor paused and looked back at Haillie.
Veronica frowned, âHaillie, donât you want me to accompany you?â
Haillie shook her head, âNo, I just suddenly have a few words for Ellinor. Youâre still young, and some things are not suitable for you to hear.â
Veronica pouted angrily, âHaillie, Iâm not a kid anymore! Iâm an adult now!â
Haillie gave a helpless smile and ignored Veronica. She looked at Ellinor with sincere eyes, âEllinor, can you accompany me to the front door? I just remembered I have a few words to say to you about Theo.â
Ellinor squinted her eyes and thought for a while before nodding, âSure.â
Then, Ellinor turned around, ready to go out with Haillie, to escort her to the front door, eager to hear what she had to say about Theo.
Now that Haillie knew Patriciaâs true colors, she could have revealed some important things.
Veronica also followed them out.
After taking a few steps, Haillie noticed that Veronica was following and stopped to tell her, âVeronica, you donât need to follow. What Ellinor and I have to discuss is not suitable for you to hear.â
Veronica stubbornly crossed her arms, âNo, I want to follow! Iâm not a kid anymore. I want to hear about my brother.â
Haillie frowned with some annoyance, âThis is grown-up talk. I donât want to discuss it in front of you.â
Upon hearing this, Veronicaâs eyes widened, and her face turned slightly red. She was a bit embarrassed but still insisted stubbornly. âIâm an adult, not a child. If I want to listen, I will. So what?â
Haillie was a bit helpless but still didnât want Veronica to follow, so she didnât move.
Seeing this, Ellinor squinted her eyes a bit, then made a gesture to Veronicaâ¦
Veronica saw Ellinor beckoning her over, frowned, and walked up to her, âWhatâs up?â
Ellinor leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Veronicaâs stubborn expression faded, âAll right, I get it! I wonât go with you.â
After saying that, Veronica turned around and went upstairs.
Seeing that Ellinor was able to convince Veronica so easily, Haillie asked in surprise, âWhat did you just say to Veronica?â
Ellinor smiled, âItâs a secret.â
Haillie looked at Ellinor and said, âEllinor, I admire you. Youâre really amazing. Not only can you make a man like Theo loyal to you, but even Veronica, who has always disliked you, can be convinced now.â
Ellinor didnât agree, âYou flatter me. Letâs go, Haillie. Iâll escort you to the door first! Donât you still have grown-up talk to discuss with me? Iâm very much looking forward to it!â
The corner of Haillieâs mouth twitched slightly. The grown-up talk was just an excuse she used to fool Veronica, just a pretext to not let her follow!
Did Ellinor really think she was going to talk about grown-up stuff?
