    Chapter 1067


    Out of the blue, Moran hollered at her retreating figure.


    Ellinor halted in her tracks, spinning around to face him.


    Veronica was taken aback, ncing first at her crush, Moran, then at Ellinor, with a wary look stered


    across her face.


    Seeing that Ellinor didn’t reply, Moran carefully asked again, “May I?”


    After a few seconds of consideration, Ellinor nodded, “Sure. Let’s go to the yard for our chat; it’s stuffy


    inside. It’d be good to get some fresh air.”


    Moran also nodded eamestly, “Alright.”


    Then Ellinor tumed around, descending the stairs with the two of them.


    As they reached the entrance, Moran turned to Veronica.

    “Veronica, you can leave us here. Don’t follow; I want to talk to Ellinor privately.”


    Even though Veronica was unwilling, she didn’t dare defy Moran, obediently nodding, “Okay.”


    She made a face at them, watching as they left the house together, then quickly scampered to the


    window to spy on them.


    Veronica had heard whispers about Moran’s crush on Ellinor at school. At first, she was furious, but she


    later thought that since Ellinor already had her brother, she wouldn’t snatch Moran away, so she


    stopped bothering about it.


    But now it seemed that Moran still hadn’t let go of Ellinor.


    If it were any other guy, she would definitely have told her brother. But since it was Moran, she worried


    that her brother might give him a hard time, so she let it slide. The nchet family’s yard was spacious


    and filled with an assortment of nts. In the moonlight, it looked beautiful.


    Ellinor tilted her head upwards to gaze at the risen moon. Her eyes seemed somewhat distant, like she


    was lost in thought.


    “It’s Pearl!” Moran also looked up, whispering softly.


    Ellinor snapped out of her reverie, turning to him, “I forgot you were still here. Do you have something


    to say?”


    Moran furrowed his brows, hesitating before he said, “I have a question.”


    Ellinor nodded kindly, “Mmm. What is it? Go on.”


    Moran looked at her with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, “Theo… Veronica’s brother… has he been


    good to you?”


    Ellinor’s expression shifted slightly, “Why do you ask?”


    Moran exined, “Veronica mentioned that her brother has been away on a trip for several days and


    hasn’t returned. You’ve been in the hospital recently, but he, as your husband, has been absent. I think


    a husband who truly cherishes his wife should be by her side at times like these.”


    Ellinor fell silent for a moment before smiling faintly, “Thank you for your concern, but he’s been decent


    to me.”


    Moran looked rather worried. He continued, “Ellinor, even though the nchet family can offer you a


    luxurious lifestyle, if you don’t feel love and happiness here, no matter how great the things you have


    are, it’s not worth staying. You might regret it.”


    Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “So, you think I’m staying here because of the nchet family’s


    background?”


    Realizing his mistake, Moran hurriedly corrected himself, “No… I just think you and Veronica’s brother


    aren’t a good match. He’s nearly ten years older than you, you don’t havemon topics, your values


    are different, and he doesn’t care enough about you! Why would you stay with him?”


    Ellinor chuckled lightly, “That’s something only those involved in the rtionship can understand. I’m


    clear about what I’m doing, but I still appreciate your well–meaning advice.”
