Chapter 731


    Balfour arched an eyebrow “It’s sote, and you still haven’t had breakfast?”


    Ellinor was hungry, so she took a bite of her sandwich before responding. “Yeah, I had a bit of a


    breakfast hup today, and now I finally managed to grab a bite. I assume you’ve eaten by now, Mr


    Howard, so I won’t bother offering you some”


    Balfour didn’t care whether or not the nchet family included him in their breakfast ns. He was not


    there for a meal


    “Given your current state. Is having breakfast thiste and eating just a sandwich enough for you?”


    Ellinor shrugged it off. “Today’s an exception, and III be having lunch soon.


    Balfour checked his watch. “It’s about two hours before lunch. You n to stay hungry till then?”


    Ellinor waved her sandwich. “I’m not starving. I’m eating!”


    Balfour frowned, looking at the nchet family’s butler, and spoke with a displeased tone. “Is this how


    you guys take care of her?”


    Devin was a bit puzzled, not understanding why Balfour was upsel, but he exined politely anyway.


    “Mr. Howard, it’s not what you think. We have fresh ingredients delivered every day, and we prepare a


    hearty breakfast for her. It’s just that she didn’t make it in time for breakfast today. And today’s lunch


    ingredients haven’t arrived yet, so she’s making do with what we have”,


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Balfour stared at the sandwich in Ellinor’s hand, his dissatisfaction evident. “So, do you guys have four


    on hand?”


    Devin replied. “Yes, we have all those ingredients. It’s just that we have fresh veggies and meat


    delivered daily. We don’t keep stock.”


    Balfour stood up, “Bring out the flour Ill use it.”


    Devin paused before he responded. “Sure, Mr. Howard, just a moment.”


    As she ate her sandwich, Ellinor watched Balfour, wondering if he was nning to cook there.


    Balfour gracefully removed his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.


    This left Devinpletely baffled. Mr. Howard was suddenly cooking in their kitchen? What was going


    on?


    As he thought, Devin had one of his staff call Mr. nchet to update him on the unusual situation.


    While Balfour was busy in the kitchen, Ellinor leaned curiously on the kitchen door, watching him as


    she enjoyed her sandwich.


    “Mr. Howard, I never took you for a cook!”


    Balfour was kneading dough. He was silent for a moment before he said, “I’m not great at it. Just when


    I was a kid, my little sister used to make me y cocking games with her. That’s how I learned to make


    a few things she liked.”


    Ellinor paused, chewing her sandwich with a cold glint in her eyes. She chuckled, “So, thanks to Ms.


    Howard, I get to taste your cooking today!”


    Balfour’s hands stilled on the dough. He turned to look at her, his eyes showing hisplex emotions.


    “Alright, the kitchen’s a bit smoky Why don’t you wait outside? I’ll bring it to you when it’s done”


    Ellinor shrugged, “Fine, thanks!”


    She went back to the dining room and sat down, deep in thought.


    Was Balfour high? Or was he trying a different approach?


    Was he still trying to help his sister Patricia win over a man, hoping she’d hand Theo over to Patricia?


    Interesting!
