Chapter 764
Balfour was totally engrossed in the photos.
âBartlett, were you guys taking pictures just now?â
Patriciaâs voice suddenly came from behind Bartlett. Her voice was gentle and curious.
Bartlett was sitting on a single sofa, looking at the pictures he had just taken. Patricia had come
downstairs and happened to walk behind him, seeing the photos on his phone.
Turning his head to her, Bartlett smiled, âOh, it's you, Patricial Yeah, we were taking pictures. Wanna
join us for a group shot?â
Patricia shook her head, âNo, I didn't put on any makeup today. I won't look good in the pictures.â
Bartlett politely responded, âNonsense, Patricia. You look great without makeup.â
Belinda looked at Patricia, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and muttered, âYeah right, âno
makeupâ. As if we can't tell her face is refinedâ
Ellinor was sipping her juice, uninterested. She was used to Patriciaâs pretentiousness.
Patricia heard Belindaâs murmur. She turned to look at Ellinor and Belinda and also noticed her brother
Balfour sitting there, âOh, Balfour, you're here too?" After seeing Patricia, who should have been at
home at this time, suddenly show up, Balfour became a bit stern, âWhen did you get here?â
Patricia came over and sat down naturally as usual, leaning affectionately against her brother, and
sweetly âsaid, âBalfour, Baber was fussing about wanting to see Theo today. I called Theo, and he told
me he was at Pearl Moon, so I brought Baber overâ
Balfour didn't spoil his sister like usual. Instead, he frowned slightly after hearing her words, âYou
brought Baber too?â
Patricia was a bit scared by Balfour's sternness. She quietly explained, âBaber wanted to see Theo. I
couldn't persuade him, so I had to bring him out...â
âThe kid was seriously hurt yesterday. Why would you bring him out at this late hour?â
âBalfour; Baber really wanted to see Theo. No matter what I said, he wouldn't listen.â
Balfour now understood why Ellinor was sitting here alone and Theo had gone upstairs.
It was because of that headache-inducing Patricia!
He rubbed his brow helplessly. âWhere's Theo?"
Patricia replied, âTheo is still upstairs with Baber. I thought he might be thirsty, so I came down to get
him a drink
As she said this, she picked up a bottle of soda from the table, âI'm going to take this drink to Theo."
Patricia got up to go upstairs. Before she left, she said to Ellinor, âEllinor, I'm going upstairs. You guys
chat. Make yourself at home.â
Although her words were polite, her actions clearly showed that she was the hostess.
Ellinor smiled slightly. Before she could say anything, Belinda rolled her eyes and said impatiently.
âMs. Howard, don't worry, we won't be shy here.
Yes, Pearl Moon is owned by the Howard family, but today Theo and Ellinor rented this place for the
party.
To the Howard family, we are the guests, and guests are supposed to be treated like kings! As such
esteemed guests, why should we be shy around you?â
Patriciaâs face turned a bit sour at Belindaâs words; even her usually innocent smile froze, â..Right, I
was being extra.
Belinda was Theo's kin, and Theo valued her greatly. Therefore, Patricia didn't want to fall out with
Belinda, so she didn't say anything more and turned to
leave.
âHold on.â Ellinor said.
