Chapter 683
A servant stepped in, respectfully saying âMr Blanchet is here!â
Patricia, feeling lost due to Baber's disappearance, was sobbing in Balfour Howard's arms. Hearing that
Mr. Blanchet had arrived, she summoned some strength and sat upright, looking towards the main
door.
The tall and lean figure of Theo made its way into the living room
Unfortunately, he didnât come alone. He was gently holding the hand of Ellinor, who was right by his
side.
Patriciaâs uplifted spirits were instantly crushed. Her face turned gloomy, her fists clenched light, and
her crying grew louder.
Theo, seemingly prepared, stepped back timely and naturally. He moved behind Ellinor and avoided
her.
As a result, Patricia almost leaned on Ellinor. Luckily, she stopped in time, but her face was
unavoidably a bit awkward.
Ellinor, looking at Patricia leaning towards her, gave a polite smile.
âMs. Howard, even if you're heartbroken from losing a child, you should find the right person for
comfort. Theo already has a wife; he needs to keep his promise to his wife, he can't comfort you."
After being ridiculed, Patricia showed a misunderstood expression, like a hurt kitten. She explained
through her tears, âEllinor, I didn't mean that; I just lost my balanceâ Ellinor smiled, watching Patriciaâs
feigned innocence, and scoffed, âIs that so? You just lost your balance? Then you should be careful;
lean on the wall when you're unsteady; don't lean on someone else's man, or you may fallâ
Patriciaâs face turned stiff, âYou...â
After watching Patricia be ridiculed, Balfour stepped forward to stop it, âEllinor, this is not your place to
speak!â
Before Ellinor could react, Theo's arm was already protecting her from behind. His tone was calm but
full of warning, âBalfour, you better watch how you speak to my wife!â
âWife?â Balfour sneered. âTheo, you ruined Patriciaâs happiness, and you're calling another woman
your wife in front of her!â
