    Chapter 1702


    Ellinor was leftpletely confused, “Fall from grace?”


    Veronica crossed her arms and furrowed her brows. She leaned in closer and whispered, “Ellinor, do


    you think I’m blind? I can see what the marks on your neck are.”


    Márks on her neck? Ellinor was still confused until Veronica used her phone to take a picture of her,


    letting her see the hickeys on her neck.


    Ellinor’s face turned red in a split second. “Um… this is…”


    Veronica put her hands on her hips. “Don’t lie to me! I know what this is! Ellinor, how could you and


    Byran…”


    Ellinor immediately retaliated with a yful punch. “Nonsense! You know what’s going on between him


    and me, right?”


    Veronica, rubbing her aching head, realized it couldn’t be Byran.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Byran was Ellinor’s brother. Then who could it be?


    “Ellinor, my brother is back! You said you would find a way to bring him home, didn’t you? Now is not


    the time for you to be falling for someone else.”


    Ellinor rubbed her temples, feeling slightly annoyed by Veronica’s usations. “It’s not what you think.


    Go get ready for your date, and don’t worry about


    me.”


    She didn’t have the heart to tell Veronica that she had seen her brother that morning. Even worse, the


    hickeys on her neck were his doing.


    Veronica, with a heavy heart, began to plead for her brother. “Ellinor…”


    Ellinor cut her off. “Shut up! If you keep nagging, you won’t be going on your date today.”


    Thinking of Moran, who was still waiting for her, Veronica hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided


    to go get ready.


    After Veronica left, La approached Ellinor and tugged at her dress. “Mommy, what did Aunt Veronica


    say to you?”


    Ellinor snapped back to reality and looked down at her daughter. “Nothing, darling. Let’s go inside.”


    La pouted and opened her arms for a hug. “Mommy…”


    Ellinor couldn’t resist her daughter’s charm. She bent down to scoop her up while gently patting her


    back. “Yes, Mommy’s here.”


    La nestled her head on her mother’s shoulder as she mumbled, “Mommy, I don’t want to talk to


    Adrian anymore.”


    Before Ellinor could respond, Adrian angrily huffed, “I don’t want to talk to you either!”


    La shot him a hateful nce. “Humph!”


    Ellinor was caught betweenughter and tears as she watched her two little ones bicker. “Enough! Are


    you two going to keep this up? You want to sever your sibling ties over such a small matter? Who


    taught you that?”


    La pouted. “That’s how they do it on TV. Mommy, why don’t you just get rid of this Adrian and bring


    back the old one? I liked him; at least he wasn’t mean to me.”


    Adrian was not pleased. “Mom, do you see? She’s always saying that I’m not as good as others!”


    Ellinor held La in one arm and took Adrian’s hand in the other. “You two need to stop this! Adrian,


    you need to change your attitude when talking to your sister. La, you should not speak ill of your


    brother either, whether it’s this one or the one who was mistakenly brought back by me before. They


    are both your real brothers. We are a family, and soon you will meet again.”


    Adrian hesitantly epted. “Okay.”
