Balfour snorted. "I should've never let Ellinor stay with Theo!"
Bartlett patted his shoulder lightly, "Don't sweat it; you're not in the best shape right now, so just chill here and wait for updates! I'll go find Ellinor for you!"
After saying that, Bartlett turned around and swaggered off.
Balfour, looking at Bartlett's retreating figure, furrowed his brows deeply and heaved a sigh.
Once he found Ellinor, he definitely needed to bring her home. He couldn't let her be wronged by the Blanchet family anymore!
...
Late at night.
The plane landed.
Theo practically raced home. He didn't even have time to greet his grandparents and went straight upstairs to his room to look for clues.
The room still had the faint scent of her favorite shampoo, but she was nowhere to be found.
He opened the wardrobe, and he saw that all her clothes were still there; she hadn't taken anything.
She left again?
Just like last time, she left without a word! Why?
Frustrated, he punched the wardrobe, making a loud noise that woke Veronica, who hadn't been able to sleep.
Veronica came in and saw Theo looking furious.
She asked cautiously. "Bro, you're back?"
Where was he supposed to find her?
Veronica looked at Sophia, who had suddenly appeared, with confusion. She looked at her outfit, which didn't seem to be in line with local fashion, and asked cautiously, "Who is this woman?"
Before Theo could say anything, Sophia walked up to Veronica with a smile and introduced herself. "I'm Sophia! Veronica, you might not have met me, but I've heard a lot about you from Theo!"
Veronica furrowed her eyebrows and asked her, "Are you close with my brother? Why are you here?"
"Yes, we're close. We’ve known each other for many years."
Veronica looked at Sophia with suspicion. She said she was close with her brother, but how come she never knew her brother knew such a woman?
A few nights ago, her brother and Ellinor had a fight. Could it be because of this woman?
