Veronica couldnât help but blush every time someone mentioned her crush, âI admit that Iâm grateful for your hooking me up with Moran, but thatâs not the main thing. The thing is, I donât hate you anymore, and once 1, Veronica, accept you, itâs hard to change. Just donât betray my brotherâ
Ellinor grinned, shifted a bit, and laid back leisurely. âDonât worry, I wonât betray your brother. Even if I ever have second thoughts, Iâd break up with your brother first, then find someone else.â
Veronica wasnât satisfied, âYou canât break up with my brother!â
Ellinor, feeling weary, murmured, âAlright! If youâre not busy, go boil some water, my feet are killing me.â
Veronica stood with her hands on her hips, frowning. There was a look of dissatisfaction on her face as she wondered if Ellinor really just asked her to heat water for her.
But considering that she was carrying her brotherâs child, she should reluctantly take care of her for her brotherâs sake.
Veronica went out with the kettle, opened the door, and saw a man standing at the entrance, about to knock on the door.
âByran? What are you doing here?â Veronica watched him warily; her attitude toward the Howard family naturally wouldnât be too good.
Byran moved his knocking hand to scratch his head awkwardly, âIs Ellinor⦠okay?â
Veronica jerked her chin up dismissively, âAs long as you Howards donât mess with her, my sisterâinâ
law will be just fine!â
Byran looked ashamed, âI came to apologize for my sister. I want to see Ellinor and apologize to her faceâtoâface.â
Veronica said coldly, âSheâs resting now; she probably doesnât want to see any of you Howards.â
Byran, who usually acted like a little tyrant in front of others, now shamefully lowered his head, âButâ¦â
âCome in.â
Ellinorâs languid voice came from inside the room.
Reluctantly, Veronica moved aside to let Byran in.
Veronica stood at the door with the kettle, keeping an eye on things. She wasnât okay with leaving Ellinor alone with a Howard, who knew what he was up 1. to.
Veronica only had a good impression of the Howards because of Patricia. Now that Patriciaâs true colors were revealed, she had zero good feelings towards the Howard family.
Byran entered the room with a fruit basket he had just bought and put it on the table, not knowing how to start.
âEllinor, I didnât know what you like, so I just bought some fruit.â
Ellinor, who had just lain down, moved a little and sat up when she heard someone was visiting. She leaned her tired body against the head of the bed and said to Byran, âYou just got out of the hospital;
you didnât have to come see me.â
Byran looked at Ellinor with complicated eyes, âI think my mom and sister owe you an apology, so I came to apologize on their behalfâ¦â
Ellinor gave a faint smile, âSo you think you can apologize for them and I should forgive them?â
Byran was taken aback and quickly shook his head, âNo⦠you donât have to forgive them; Iâm not even trying to force you to forgive them. I just want to express how sorry I am because I wasnât very nice to you beforeâ¦â
Ellinor responded lightly, âHmm, I wonât forgive them, but I wonât be mad at you because of it. Iâll take the fruit, and I accept your goodwill; now go home and do your homework!â
Byran frowned, âIâve done all my homework for today.â
âThatâs great, so you can go have fun now!â
