Chapter 825


    Ellinor shook her head, “Why on earth would I not want to forgive you? I just think you’re the elder one


    hem, there’s no need for you to apologize to a youngster like me. If I epted your apology, Id be a


    real twith


    Xenia twisted her lips into a smile, cursing Ellinor in her mind but still maintaining a warm and friendly


    expression.


    “Ms. Mendoza, you’re overthinking it! Let’s drop the apology, how about you just consider it as me


    offering you a simple ss of juice?”


    Only then did Ellinor obediently lift her cup. “Alright, if you put it that way, I will drink it!


    Xenia nodded. “That’s the spirit! Drink up! Tell me if my mix tastes good”


    Ellinor raised the cup to her lips, but under Xenia’s eager gaze, she halted her action to drink the juice


    without opening her mouth.


    She raised an eyebrow, turned to Patricia, who sat diagonally across from her, and said with a smile,


    “Before I take a sip of this juice, I really want to give a shout-out to Ms. Howard!”


    Like her mother, Patricia also had her eyes fixed an Ellinor, eagerly waiting for her to drink.


    Suddenly being named, Patricia was taken aback and let out a nervous chuckle, “Uh.. Ellinor, what are


    you thanking me for?

    At this, Xenia furrowed her brows in confusion. She was getting impatient. Why was Ellinor making a


    simple ss of juice such a big deal?


    Everyone at the table from the Howard family was respectfully silent, waiting for Ellinor to speak Balfour


    turned his face to look at his sister with a hint of confusion in his eyebrows


    As a brother, he had always been aware of the grudges between his long-lost sister and his half-sister,


    Patri


    If Ellinor could let bygones be bygones, he, as a brother, would be thanking the heavens. But why


    would Ellinor suddenly want to thank Patri?


    Under the gaze of everyone, Ellinor spoke with sincerity in her eyes. “I want to thank Ms. Howard for


    patiently showing me around every room in your house this afternoon, even leaving your child with the


    nanny just to spend time with me.”


    Ellinor’s words left Patricia in an awkward position. She was not sure whether tough or not.


    Wasn’t she just saying that Patricia had time but didn’t take care of her child?


    Was Ellinor setting a trap for her?


    Patricia gave a sweet and radiant smile, “Ellinor, you’re being too polite! Since you saved my


    grandfather’s life and you’re our special quest today, it’s only right for me to show you around our


    house first. That’s our hospitality!”


    Ellinor nodded and smiled, lifting her cup to Patricia ‘Ms. Howard, this one’s for you, for your


    consideration!”


    Patricia stood up politely and picked up a ss of wine from the table, responding graciously,


    “No, Ellinor, I should be toasting to you as our esteemed guest. Thank you for saving my grandfather!”


    As Patricia spoke, she intended to drink the wine first to express her respect


    In front of everyone, she wanted to show her sincerity and also hoped that Ellinor would quickly drink


    the pomegranate juice.
