    She guessed that the elders of the Howard family might be feeling a tad guilty and wanted to Invite her


    to stay for dinner.


    However, she didn’t want to hang out at the Howards’ home any longer. She had sald her plece and


    just wanted to get the heck out of there.


    Balfour reassured his grandparents, “Don’t sweat it. I’ll see Ellinor home.”


    Dean nodded, “Right, you do that. We’ve caused her enough bother as it is.”


    Alyssa chimed in, “Balfour, have a heart-to-heart with Ellinor. We owe her an apology.”


    “I know.”


    Throughout this, nobody even nced at Xenia and Patricia, who were off to the side, as if everyone


    found them to be a pain in the neck.


    Ellinor stepped out of the front door and bumped into McNell Howard, whose hands were covered in


    mud.


    McNeil was dressed sharply and exuded charisma, but his hands were always dirty, as if he’d just been


    pottering around in the garden.


    He seemed to care little about what went on in the house, preferring to tend to his nts.


    When he saw Ellinor, McNeil was taken aback, then gave a gentle smile, “When did you arrive, Ms.


    Mendoza?”


    Even though Ellinor knew he was her biological father, she had a lousy impression of him and replied


    coldly, “I’ve been here a while.”


    McNeil nodded, “Are you leaving now?”


    Ellinor gave a nod, about to walk past him.


    McNeil, in a friendly tone, said, “The flowers you sawst time are in full bloom now. How about taking


    a look before you leave?”


    Ellinor paused. Those flowers were said to be her mother’s favorites.


    She remembered them vividly. They were rare, bluish-grey blossoms that were the color of moonlight.


    She didn’t know if it was because she inherited her mother’s aesthetic sense, but she also found those


    flowers incredibly beautiful, and she

    adored them.


    However, the flowers were nted by the man she loathed the most, McNeil. Just the thought of this


    irritated her.


    This man betrayed her mother and caused her to go missing.


    He didn’t even deserve a polite smile from her.


    ‘No need.” She said coldly and walked past him, leaving him behind.


    McNeil watched the girl walk away as his eyes gradually dimmed.
