    When she heard himpletely shatter her hopes, Sophia chuckled bitterly. “Theo, don’t get me


    wrong. We’ve already broken up, and I have no expectations of you. I just hope you can do me a favor


    before you leave, okay?


    After being burnt once, Theo was now cautious of anything she asked of him. “What favor?”


    Sophia propped her chin up with a slightly annoyed look. “There’s this guy who has been pursuing me


    for years. Now that I’ve given up on you, I’m considering him.” Theo agreed. “Yeah, that sounds good.”


    Sophia blinked her eyes and looked at him earnestly. “Theo, if you ever considered me a friend, could


    you check him out for me? He’ll be here to pick me up soon. You guys know each other better, right?


    Can you help me see if he’s trustworthy and if he’s sincere to me?”


    Faced with Sophia’s reasonable request, Theo nced at his watch and found that there was still time.


    If Sophia found someone suitable, Thaddeus would stop targeting Ellinor.


    So, Theo nodded. “Sure.”


    Back home.


    Ellinor received a photo from Theo. It was an airne ticket that said he was leaving at around eleven


    today.


    She opened the photo, and her heart started pounding.


    Was the issue resolved?


    A flight today meant Theo would be home by this time tomorrow.


    She excitedly gripped her phone as her hanging heart finally fell. Yet she couldn’tpletely rx until


    Theo was truly home.


    “What’s got you so happy?”

    Suddenly, a hand gently patted her head from behind. Balfour came around and sat down in front of the


    couch, looking at her with a teasing smile. Ellinor snapped back to reality and became expressionless.


    “Am I happy?”


    Balfour reached out and lightly pinched her nose. “Aren’t you? Your eyes look like you’re eagerly


    anticipating something. Are you thinking about that guy Theo again?”


    Ellinor couldn’t control herself and blushed. She didn’t respond to hisment but asked, “Mr. Howard,


    why didn’t you go to work yet after breakfast? Don’t feel like working today?”


    Balfour was pleased that he could now chat with his sister like friends. The awkwardness they used to


    have was gone. But he still had work to do to get his sister to naturally call him brother.


    “There’s nothing much to do this morning. I’ll leaveter. What do you want for dinner? I can bring it


    home for you.”


    Ellinor shook her head. “Whatever is okay. I don’t have any cravings. Could you pick up some cheese


    sticks for Baber on your way home? I’ll send you the addresster. The shop’s stuff is handmade, so


    there are no additives.”


    Balfour frowned. He felt a bit sorry for his sister.


    This girl was tough when she needed to be tough, but she was also soft too.


    Baber was an adopted child, but not her adopted child. He was Patricia’s, the woman who brought her


    nothing but trouble. Yet she still treated Baber like her own child. She really cared about him.


    Balfour’s eyes were full of sympathy and tenderness as he nodded with a smile. “Okay, send me the


    addresster, and I’ll bring them home tonight.
