Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408

Marissa gave Ellinor’s hand a comforting squeeze. “Ellinor, I messed up before by not telling you the truth about Theo and Sophia’s marriage. I hope you can forgive me.”

Ellinor looked at her calmly with a smile on her face. “Marissa, it’s all water under the bridge.”

She had let it go.

Their marriage had happened before she met Theo, and after that, they were just partners. At that time, Theo didn’t need to explain anything to her. Later, they started to develop feelings for each other.

Marissa patted Ellinor’s hand with relief. “Ellinor, I’m glad that you can forgive me. You’re really big-

hearted.

You know, when you’re not around, Theo often sits alone in his room, lost in his thoughts. It’s the most silent I’ve ever seen him. Theo had been under a lot of pressure from the family since he was a kid, and we’ve been really tough on him. We put all our expectations on his shoulders. This made him grow up too soon, and as an adult, he rarely show’s his emotions. His emotions would noticeably change when he was with you. Whether it’s joy or sorrow, it’s all because of you. You’ve healed him. If he loses you, he might lose his will to live. Ellinor, when Theo comes back, go home with him. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Ellinor looked at Marissa, not wanting her to worry anymore, and nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

Marissa laughed after noticing Ellinor’s sincerity. “That puts my mind at ease. I can’t stay here for much longer. I need to head back. Putnam is waiting for us at home. Ellinor, if anything comes up before Theo gets back, you must tell me. Remember, the Blanchet family will always support you!”

Ellinor gave Marissa a smile and then turned to Veronica. “Veronica, you need to accompany Marissa home. Take good care of Putnam and Marissa before your brother comes back.”

“Don’t worry, I will.” Verônica was no longer the wild and unruly girl she used to be. She had grown up a lot.

After seeing off Marissa and Veronica, Ellinor took Baber for a walk in the garden to enjoy the sun.

Thinking that Theo would be back tomorrow made her smile.

Before going to bed, she sent Theo a few messages, but he didn’t reply. She figured he must be on the plane, so she didn’t think much of it.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Balfour left for work as usual, but today he took Byran with him to sort out some paperwork for his study abroad.

After the Howard brothers left, Ellinor, having had her fill, took Baber for a walk in the garden to bask in the sun.

After a while, a servant from the Howard family came to inform her of a guest. “Ms. Mendoza, there’s a visitor for you.”

Ellinor, who was playing with Baber on the grass, instantly lit up at the news. “Who is it?”

Could it be Theo returning from M State?

He came back earlier than expected. Did the plane land ahead of schedule?

However, the servant replied, “It’s Ms. Wesley. She seems to have brought some gifts for you.”
