Chapter 923


    Chapter 923


    “Let’s get outta here, Rosiel Those nchet folks are heartless. I’ll find another way to seek justice for


    you!”


    Soon, nothing could be heard but the vulgar swearing of the middle-aged woman and her daughter’s


    sobbing.


    Once the middle-aged woman and her daughter had been driven away, the Mendoza trio were left


    standing dumbly in the living room.


    Veronica, with her hands on her hips, walked over impatiently, “What’s the holdup? Are you still


    nning on crashing at the nchets’ home for the night? The Mendozas finally snapped back to


    reality and hastily got up.


    Before leaving, Arnold, looking worried, said, “Marissa, that mother-daughter duo once came to our


    home to stir up trouble, demanding that we take responsibility. We had no choice but to bring them to


    Ellinor today… If they do anything to offend the nchets, we, the Mendozas, wash our hands of it?”


    After looking at the timid Arnold, Marissa was hard-pressed to believe that such a man was Ellinor’s


    foster father.


    They were totally different. Ellinor didn’t resemble any of the Mendozas at all.

    Thank god Ellinor wasn’t influenced by this family’s lowliness, or else a perfectly good kid would’ve


    been ruined.


    Not just Marissa, but Veronica too looked down on Arnold and waved him away in disgust, “Off you go!


    Scram! Don’t get in our way!”


    Theo didn’t even bother with Arnold; instead, he softly said to the little girl in his arms, “Belinda just


    called wanting to talk to you, she said she couldn’t reach your phone.”


    Ellinor patted herself down, realizing she’d left her phone behind, “I left my phone in my room, so I


    didn’t catch the call. What does she want?”


    Theo shook his head slightly, “Didn’t say. She said she’d only tell you.”


    “Then let go of me; I’ll go upstairs and call her back.”


    “We’ll go together.”


    With that, Theo rose, picking her up with him.


    Ellinor blushed instantly and beganining, Theo, Grandma’s still here! What are you doing? Put


    me down now!”


    Theo wasn’t fazed. He looked up to ask his grandmother, “Grandma, do you mind if I carry Ellinor


    upstairs?”


    Marissa was too happy to mind after seeing Theo and Ellinor this affectionate. The more affectionate


    they were, the closer she was to her wish of cradling her great-grandchild.


    Marissaughed, “Not at all! How could I mind you newlyweds being all lovey-dovey? Ellinor, Theo’s


    finallying to his senses; don’t be shy!”


    In his arms, Ellinor twitched her lips, “Grandma…”


    She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Even worse, she was


    being carried by Theo, so she wasn’t even able to reach the ground with her toes.
