Patricia's eyes were misty, holding back tears. "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't cry, but I'm really worried about my Byran..."
Supporting the trembling Patricia, Byran reassured her, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine! I can handle the consequences myself, no matter how Theo plans to punish me today, I'll accept it! You should go home with Quinton first!"
"Byran..." Patricia choked up.
"Ms. Howard, I truly admire your charisma." Ellinor chuckled.
Byran looked at Ellinor, puzzled. Why was she laughing?
Patricia, tearful and confused, asked Ellinor, "What do you mean, Ellinor? You admire me?"
"Yes, I really admire you! Haillie cleverly plotted against me for your sake, but ended up getting herself thrown in jail. Byran slandered me and spread false information online for you, and ended up being punished here when he was found out. Yet you're innocent and unaware of it all. The fact that those around you are willing to sacrifice so much for you, you must have some serious charisma."
This was an overtly positive statement.Patricia felt a pang. Ellinor was really smart!
At first glance, Ellinor was just a pretty face, a bit of a ditz, seemingly harmless.
Only now did she know that she was wrong at the beginning. Ellinor was no simple person.
Patricia looked at Ellinor with innocent eyes: "You might have misunderstood me, I really didn't know about those things..."
Ellinor didn't bother to respond, she turned and walked towards the dining table before Patricia could finish her sentence. Seeing only Theo's breakfast on the table, she frowned and asked, "Where's my breakfast?"
"Now you're hungry?" Theo looked at her, "I called you to get up earlier, didn't you say you weren't hungry?"
But Theo grabbed her hand and unceremoniously took the cup of milk away.
"Why? Can't I even have a sip?" Ellinor was obviously unhappy.
This gentleman who claimed to like her yesterday was now so greedily protecting his food! What kind of liking was this!
Seeing the frown on her face, Theo knew she was thinking negatively again. He looked at her seriously, "You can't drink milk on an empty stomach, what if you get a stomachache?"
"Mr. Blanchet, when did you become such a nag?"
"Isn't it for your own good?"
