Devin got Mr. Blanchetâs drift and turned around to give orders to his guys.
With all the visitors kicked out, Ellinor felt a breath of relief, âTheo, you can let go of me now, right?â
Theo looked down at her and didnât let go, but hugged her even tighter, âIf I let go, youâre just gonna ditch me and run off, arenât you?â
âTheo, didnât you notice my suitcase is light? Thereâs nothing in it. I didnât pack at all, I was just bluffing!â
Theo surely noticed the weight of the suitcase but was still a bit ticked off. His gaze was stern, âSome jerks came to bully you at home, why didnât you give me a headsâup?â
âYou were at work, right? I didnât want to mess with your work! And those people from my family arenât worth you taking a day off to deal with! Actually, I could have kicked them out myself, but that wouldnât have worked well. Theyâd still come back. I know them too well. If you didnât step in, they wouldnât take my word for it and wouldnât give up! So, I pretended to pack to just stall them and waited for you to come home from work to help me deal with them!â
âReally? Should I thank you for being considerate of my work?â
Ellinor cheerfully said, âYouâre welcome! I do know how to prioritize!â
Theo playfully tapped her head, âWhat priority? Remember, anything that has to do with you is the most important and needs to be told to me immediately!â
Ellinor was taken aback for a second, then obediently nodded, âOkay, I will next time!â
Having instructed his men on how to deal with the Mendoza family, Devin came back. Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Blanchet together, he found it harmonious and a satisfied smile spread across his face.
Mrs. Blanchet was easygoing. At first, the household staff were prejudiced against her, but she didnât mind.
Once they got to know her, they all came to like her.
Imagine if that arrogant Sheila came over; they wouldnât be able to stand it!
With that thought, Devin cherished the lovely Mrs. Blanchet even more.
âMr. Blanchet, dinner is almost ready. Is there anything else you want?â
Theo glanced at the living and dining rooms that had been messed up by the Mendoza family and said, âNo need; Iâll take her out for dinner. You guys eat first, then have someone thoroughly clean up the house.â
âYes, Mr. Blanchet.â
Devin understood. The home environment was messed up by the Mendoza family, which greatly affected Theoâs mood. Even if Theo didnât say it, he would have someone do a thorough cleaning and disinfection.
Theo looked down at Ellinor in his arms and said, âYou wait here for a bit. Iâm going upstairs to change, then Iâll take you out.â
âHm? Where are we going?â Ellinor asked curiously âYouâll find out when we get there.â
Ellinor pouted, Oh, how mysterious!
