Chapter 770
Ellinor yawned in exhaustion, rolling her eyes as she said, “You said it yourself, the kid is adopted, not his by blood.
And from what I know, you were the one who begged Mr. Blanchet to go with you to adopt the kid. You even said
that all he had to do was help you bring the kid home and nothing else.
So whoever suggested it is responsible for it! Mr. Blanchet is still willing to help you take care of the kid out of
kindness. But If he doesn’t want to, you can’t blame him.
Miss. Howard, if you take Mr. Blanchet’s kindness as something that should be expected, then you’re the one at
fault here.”
Unable to counter Ellinor, Patricia put on a pitiful face with tears welling up in her eyes.
Ellinor, I just wanted Theo to go see our sick kid. Why are you being so hard on me and making me out to be the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbad guy?”
Ellinor chuckled. She stepped forward and lifted Patricia’s forlorn face, gripping her chin tightly.
“Am I being harsh? If you consider me explaining facts as being harsh, then let me tell you something harshly. From
today on, if you pester Mr. Blanchet without reason, I won’t hesitate to take action!”
Patricia’s chin was gripped by Ellinor’s cold fingers; she felt the strong warning and instinctively recoiled, crying,
“Ellinor, how can you say that about me? I’m not a homewrecker.”
Holding her chin, Ellinor lifted Patricia’s face a little higher, “Whether you’re a homewrecker or not isn’t up to you! I,
as the legitimate wife, will be the judge of that. If your actions have a negative impact on our marriage, I won’t
hesitate to take action!”
With that, she let go of Patricia’s chin in disgust and pushed her face away.
Patricia’s head jerked to the side, and when she turned it back, her face was wet with tears.
She stopped engaging Ellinor and looked pitifully at Theo standing behind her. She choked up as she said, “Theo,
Ellinor probably really dislikes me. I think I should return this bracelet to you; I won’t cause you trouble anymore,
and I don’t want my presence to make Ellinor think badly of you.”
As she said this, she pulled out the bracelet again.
Before Patricia could hand it to Theo, Ellinor snatched it, examining it in her hand.
“Are you sure Mr. Blanchet gave you this bracelet?”
Her attempt to gain sympathy from Theo was disrupted, making Patricia frown slightly. She was forced to engage
Ellinor again, “Yes, of course, it’s a token he had his people give me when we first met. You didn’t know Theo back
then, so it’s no surprise you didn’t know.”
As she explained, she also flaunted that she knew Theo longer.
However, Ellinor couldn’t care less who knew him first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat was the big deal about knowing him first? If they were meant to be, they would’ve been married by now. But
clearly, they were not.
From Patricia’s own account, Ellinor figured out that the bracelet wasn’t directly given to her by Theo.
After carefully observing the bracelet, Ellinor handed it back to Patricia, “Since it’s from him, you should keep it
safe. Don’t try to return it; it’d just make people think Mr. Blanchet is ungrateful.”
Patricia clenched her fists in frustration. She did not take the bracelet and kept up her act of being innocent and
pitiful, “Ellinor, didn’t you just say I should stop seeing Theo? So, I think there’s no need for me to keep this
bracelet.”
Ellinor said with a smile, “Ms. Howard, you misunderstood. I’m not saying Mr. Blanchet can’t repay you for saving
his life; your favor to Mr. Blanchet is always valid.
I just hope you understand that he’s a married man now, and he needs to avoid misunderstandings when dealing
with the opposite sex.”
