Chapter 1502
Balfour furrowed his brow in thought. He was right; if he took Adrian away now, the man would be
left alone without even a child to keep him company. When Sophia returned, he'd have no way to
explain.
Yet, allowing Adrian to stay here, to stay with Sophia, who didn't have the best intentions, didn't sit
well with him either.
Adrian seemed to understand his uncle's concerns. He tugged at Balfour's shirt and said, âUncle, I've
been with this handsome man for several days now, and I'm fine. Please don't tell Mommy yet, or
she'll worry.â
Balfour pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling at a loss.
No wonder Ellinor had mentioned that Adrian was always running around lately. It turned out the
two kids had been swapped.
It was such an unbelievable coincidence.
Balfour stared at Marcus with serious warning in his eyes. âYou better take good care of him. If not,
you'll regret it.â
Marcus nodded calmly. âI'd appreciate it if you could ask Ms. Ellinor to take good care of my son as
well.â
Meanwhile, Byran was pressed against the wall of his suite, straining to hear any sounds.
Unfortunately, he couldnât make out anything.
The presidential suite was too big. The room separated by a wall was still a bedroom, and the
soundproofing was excellent. It was almost impossible to overhear anything.
He had secretly followed his brother, first seeing him enter the suite across the hall. After a while, he
saw his brother leave, knock on the door, and enter the suite
next door to his.
Byran was utterly confused by his brother's actions. He had initially thought his brother was here to
see his girlfriend.
But then he saw this situation and was utterly baffled.
If his brother was dating, couldn't he just book a single room with his girlfriend? Why did he need to
book two rooms across the hall from each other?
Could it be that his brother's girlfriend was a married woman?
So they were playing a game of deception?
If that were true, then his brother was really messing things up.
If they were caught in an affair, where would the Howard familyâs reputation go?
Their grandparents would be livid.
The more he thought about it, the more things didnât add up. Byran paced back and forth in his
temporary suite, trying to come up with a plan.
Unable to think of a solution, he pulled out his phone and dialed Ellinor's number.
At this time, Ellinor had just returned from lunch and was busy with work.
When she answered, she absentmindedly said, âHello?â
âSis, it's me!â Byran muttered.
Ellinor hummed in response. âYou're late. I've already eaten, so you canât mooch off my food. Go get
something to eat yourself.â
