âEllinor, a nutritionist is dropping by at noon to whip up lunch for you. Any preference for dinner? I
some BBQ!"
Balfour seemed a bit miffed, and he frowned. âYou shouldn't be eating such spicy and stimulating fc
Ellinor didnât argue with him. âFine, I'll just order takeout.â
Balfour sighed. âAlright, I'll get some veggies and slices of meat after work. We can have BBQ togett
Ellinor nodded and continued munching on her bacon. After a bite, she said in a heavy tone. âMr. Ho
She really wanted that painting soon, so she wouldn't have to deal with Theo's annoying threats.
Balfour nodded. âDonât worry, I won't forget.â
Seeing that Balfour was in a good mood, Byran gathered up his courage to ask. âWe have exams tod
cram school? I want to stay home with Ellinor.â
Balfour shot him an annoyed look.
At this moment, Ellinor
said, âLet him take a day off; it's boring staying home alone. It's nice to have someone to chat with.â
âAlright.â Balfour's face softened immediately. He smiled at Ellinor and then turned to Byran, giving I

Ellinor replied absentmindedly.
Once Balfour left, Byran immediately stood up, handing Ellinor a slice of
toast with peanut butter. âHere you go!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, looking at the toast in front of

Byran retorted, âCan't I be nice to you?â
Ellinor chuckled. âWhat do you want from me?â

Ellinor laughed. âDonât overthink it; just stay home today.â
"Why?" Byran frowned, seeming a bit upset.
Ellinor took the toast and started eating. âNo reason; didn't you tell Balfour
you'd stay home with me?â
âI can stay home with you for a while, but this afternoon I want to go out and see...â
Ellinor cut him off. âNope, if you go out, I'll call your brother.â
Byran
got upset. âEllinor! How could you? I finally got a whole day to myself, and I want to see my girlfrienc
Ellinor seemed nonchalant, looking at him like a child. âYou have a girlfriend? Who said you
could start dating?â Byran was visibly angry. âI'm not a kid anymore. I'm an adult!
I have the freedom to date and to get married!â
Ellinor smiled. âDo you know who I am?â
