Chapter 809


    Balfour’s eyes turned serious, like there was no room for negotiation.


    Patricia, although she’d been spoiled since childhood, still got a little scared when Balfour got all stern.


    “Balfour, you’ve gotta treat Ellinor well, okay? Don’t lose your cool just because she identally


    wandered into Pearl’s room and broke Pearl’s favorite music box. I’m off to check on Baber.”


    After reminding Balfour, Patricia took off, but things didn’t turn out quite as she’d hoped.


    Once Patricia left, Ellinor didn’t feel like sticking around either. She murmured, “Mr. Howard, I’m sorry


    for going where I shouldn’t have in your house. I’l show myself out, but I didn’t break that music box”


    With that, she made to leave. But Balfour raised a hand to stop her.


    Ellinor paused, frowning, “So, what’s the deal? You’re gonna punish me for trespassing?”


    Balfour just closed the door, preventing her from leaving.


    “Ellinor, this room is indeed off-limits to outsiders in the Howard family. But you’re allowed in because


    this was your room when you were little. I won’t me you or punish you. I’m d you’re back.”


    Ellinor paused, then let out a sarcasticugh.


    She had figured it out. Because of the music from the music box and the shbacks, she’d sensed this


    room was rted to her.


    Balfour handed her the broken music box, “This was your favorite music box when you were a child. It


    was a gift from me.”


    Ellinor barely nced at it, “Oh, really? Well, you keep it then!”


    Balfour frowned slightly, “I kept this room and everything in it exactly the way it was when you were a


    child. Do you remember?”


    “Nope.”


    Balfour managed a bitter smile, “Well, that’s okay. Once you’re back, you’ll start remembering”


    Ellinor chuckled, “Mr. Howard, I think you got it all twisted. I’m here today because Grandpa Dean and


    Grandma Alyssa invited me over, not to move in!”

    Balfour frowned and muttered, “Pearl, I know you’re married to Theo, and are now living with the


    nchets, but don’t you think you should visit home. once in a while?”


    Ellinor frowned, “Sorry, my name’s Ellinor!”


    Balfour looked helpless, “I know the Mendozas didn’t treat you well, so why do you still go by Ellinor?”


    Ellinor let out augh, ‘True, the Mendozas weren’t exactly nice to me because I had zero blood ties


    with them. Myst name is just abel; it doesn’t mean much to me, but no matter what myst name


    is, I’d never choose Howard!”


    Balfour frowned at her, “Why? Is it because I misunderstood you and didn’t treat you well in the past?”
