Chapter 869


    Chapter 869


    Balfour picked up his coat, bypassed his dad without a trace of emotion, and briskly walked out the


    door.


    McNeil was used to his son’s cold demeanor. He didn’t get mad or me him.


    Ever since Marlinie took their daughter away, Balfour had been avoiding any conversation with his


    father.


    Mr. Howard sat alone on the stone bench, squinting at what was happening across the parking lot


    He saw Ellinor take the yogurt bottle that Theo had opened for her, have a big sip, and then hold it up


    high, ready to feed Theo


    But when Theo was about to drink, she cheekily pulled the bottle away and ran off, as her face beamed


    with innocence.


    McNeil himself didn’t even realize the tenderness in his eyes.


    That girl really reminded him of a young Marlinie.


    It had been over a decade, and he wondered if Marlinie was doing well out there.


    Back at the nchet vi. Theo headed straight upstairs to shower and charge clothes.


    Ellinor didn’t go up with him. She said she was going to stay downstairs and watch TV, but in fact, she


    went to the kitchen.


    Alter Theo finished work today, he went straight to pick her up from the Howard family’s home. So


    much had happened since then that it was now dark and Theo hadn’t had dinner yet.


    She washed her hands, put on an apron, and decided to cook some noodles for Theo herself.


    The servants wanted to help, but she shooed them away


    She was just making a bowl of noodles, it wasn’t rocket science. She could handle it herself, having


    someone help would only mess up-her flow


    As she was whipping up some eggs after chopping tomatoes, Ellinor heard someone storm into the


    kitchen.


    She paid it no mind and continued to beat the eggs.


    “Ellinor, what the hell is this about? Veronica roared while surveying the room


    Ellinor nced at Veronica while continuing to beat her eggs, “What’s up? You want some of my


    noodles?


    Veronica rolled her eyes, Who cares about your noodles? What was the deal with those things you had


    Devin send me today?”


    Ellinor chuckled, “Oh, that. Those were gifts I personally picked out for you.”


    Veronica responded with annoyance, ‘Gifts? You’ve got some nerve! I’ve never seen such cheap gifts


    in my entire life!’


    As she said this, she was waving a book around.


    Ellinor responded, “Cheap? I gave you some workbooks to help you improve your knowledge. Isn’t that


    a good thing? Knowledge is the most valuable treasure in the world, not your useless shoes and bags.”


    Veronica sneered, ‘I could aceept that you think I need workbooks, but why are they for primary school


    students? What are you trying to say?”


    Ellinor calmly replied, “I didn’t mean anything by it. I was afraid you wouldn’t understand the higher


    grade workbooks


    Veronica felt greatly insulted and angrily retorted, “Ellinor, your IQs like a primary school student’s! Your


    whole family’s 10 is like a primary school student’s!”

    Ellinor casuallyughed and replied, “Ms. nchet, if you’re so unhappy, then finish the workbook


    yourself and prove to me that you can do all the problems. If you can correctlyplete half of them,


    I’ll buy you ten Hermès bags tomorrow. How does that sound?”
