Chapter 1319: Chapter 1319

Byran blinked as he looked out to see his brother’s ride pulling up.

The black business car parked at the front of the gate. The driver got out to open the door and out stepped Balfour.

Sophia stared at Balfour in a daze, quickly putting on a bitter smile. Her voice was hoarse; it was clear that she had been crying.

“So, Mr. Howard is back.”

Balfour took a couple steps forward while squinting at Sophia with a scrutinizing gaze and casually asked, “And you are?”

Sophia was taken aback. He didn’t remember her?

Despite Balfour rarely showing his face at social events, they’d met at a few important business dinners and even had close conversations.

Realizing that she had been forgotten, Sophia felt a bit bummed but didn’t let it show, only responding with a bitter smile.

“Mr. Howard, hi, I’m Theo’s friend, Sophia. We’ve met before, don’t you remember?”

After hearing her describe herself as Theo’s friend, the indifference in Balfour’s eyes was now mixed with a hint of suspicion.

“What brings you to my house?”

Sophia said, “As I’ve explained to Byran earlier, I heard Ellinor was staying here and thought I’d drop by. I brought her some special supplements that are great for pregnant women.”

”

Saying this, she held up the supplements in her hand.

Balfour didn’t even spare a glance at the supplements. His house lacked nothing; Ellinor could have any supplement she wanted.

“She needs some peace and quiet, so she can’t see anyone right now. You should head back.”.

With that cold remark, Balfour walked straight past Sophia.

Sophia didn’t give up though. She furrowed her brows and turned to shout at Balfour’s retreating back.

“Mr. Howard, I know why you won’t let me see Ellinor!”

Balfour paused. “If you know why, then you shouldn’t have come.

Sophia insisted, “But don’t you think it’s unfair to Ellinor? She has a right to know everything!”

Balfour’s tone was steady. “She does have a right, but not now.”

Balfour turned around; his eyes were menacing, as if he were trying to warn her that he had already seen through her motives. He sternly told her, “Even if she blames me later, it’s my business. Don’t stick your nose in it!”

Sophia’s face was etched in grief. “You guys have no right to deprive Ellinor of this news! She should be saying her goodbyes to Theo. She has his child in her belly, so she must mourn the child’s father’s passing!”

Balfour was getting impatient with her. He shouted out a command to the servants in his deep voice.

“Someone, show the lady out! I don’t want to see this impolite woman at my doorstep ever again!”

“Yes, sir!”

A few servants came over and escorted Sophia out.

After watching Sophia being led away, Byran looked at Balfour, who had come home unexpectedly early, and began feeling uneasy. “What was that chick talking about? What happened to Theo? What goodbye? What mourning?”

Balfour coldly stared at him; his gaze showed his disappointment. “If I hadn’t come back just now, were you planning on letting that woman, who we barely know, in?”

Byran scratched his head. “Well… She was crying… She looked really pitiful, so I thought I’d let her stay for a bit, but I was planning to keep an eye on her! Plus, I know she really is Theo’s friend!”

Balfour lightly thumped him on the head. “What does someone else’s crying have to do with you?”
