Patricia quietly grabbed some bread and snacks and snuck them over to Byran.
Quinton, who was ordered by Balfour to have two bodyguards stationed outside Byranâs door, saw that it was Ms. Howard who had come. After a moment of hesitation, they let her in without stopping her Balfour always listens to Ms Howard, and even if Balfour himself was here, he would definitely be moved by Ms Howardâs coquetry and let her in If they stopped her, and Ms Howard went to Balfour unhappy, he would definitely get angry with them.
So, they figured they might pretend to not see it.
Patricia entered Byranâs room and saw Byran lying face down on the bed, burying his face in the pillow and crying âByran, get up! Youâll suffocate like this!â
Heaning Patriciaâs voice, Byran was taken aback, then sat up, wiping his tears with a wronged and stubborn look.
âWhy are you here? Itâs so late, havenât you gone to bed yet?â
âI couldnât sleep. I was worried about you, so I came to check.â
Patricia took a tissue from the table and walked over to wipe his swollen eyes. âLook at you, such a big boy, why are you crying?â
Byran didnât want to cry, but he felt wronged âI was misunderstood! I didnât do what Balfour said I only wanted to get the influencerâs phone from Balfour today because I wanted to get the original video to help Ellinor clear her name on the internet.â
Patricia was startled, and the movement of wiping Byranâs tears stopped. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Byran wanted to help Ellinor too?
What kind of charm does Ellinor have that not only made the usually cold Balfour take the time to investigate the source of the video, but also made the tsundere Byran risk going to Balfour, whom he fears the most, to steal the phone?
This was a hidden powerhouse Seeing Patriciaâs dazed expression, Byran frowned, âWhat are you thinking about? Donât tell me you donât believe me either?â
Patricia snapped back to reality and smiled warmly, âByran, what are you talking about! Of course I believe you. But, you know what Balfour is like. He only cares about results, not feelings. Right now, you donât have any evidence to prove you didnât do those things, so Balfour will absolutely not forgive you. So just listen to me, go to the Blanchet family first thing tomorrow and admit that the online incident was a moment of recklessness on your part, let Balfour and Theo cool downâ
Byran was startled and immediately pushed Patriciaâs hand away, resisting. âWhat are you saying? You want me to admit to something I didnât do? I wonât go! Why should I go!â
Patricia sighed deeply revealing a conflicted and disappointed expression, âByran, Iâm not trying to force you to admit to anything itâs just⦠you know, my greatest wish in life is to marry Theo and spend the rest of my life with him. But because of the grudges between our Howard family and the Blanchet familyâs ancestors, our relationship has always been hindered. Now, if the online incident were to add to the conflict between our families, I would truly have no hope of ever being with Theo! Byran, I hope you can think of the bigger picture and endure it for a while, okay?â
As Patricia spoke, her eyes turned red. With her already innocent looking face, this crying made her even more pitiful.
