NovelEnglishChapter 573
The merchandise shelf did a pretty good job hiding her pelite figure.
Theo frowned slightly
After finishing his shopping, Theo didn’t linger. He got up and left.
The antique shop owner saw him off respectfully, “Goodbye, Mr. Blanchet. Come again when you need
something. Your gift has been safely delivered to your car”
“Hmm”
Theo then sauntered out of the shop
Byran called Ellinor and followed him after seeing him exit and get into his car
Once in Theo’s car, Ellinor quietly sat by the window, busying herself with her phone, while Byran sat
between her and Theo.

grandpa?”
Theo kept a poker face, looking out the car window, and just responded, “Hmm”
Byran was thrilled, “I knew it! I’ve never heard of you having a thing for antiques, but my grandpa loves
collecting old stuff, he’ll definitely love it!*
Byran kept mumbling to himself, listing some of the stuff in his grandpa’s collection, without Theo
responding
Ellinor kept silent too and continued to stare at her phone while deep in thought.
From their conversation, she figured out that Theo was also attending the birthday party tomorrow
So she was gonna run into this guy again tomorrow.
The more she tried to avoid him, the more she bumped into him:
Man, what a pain!
The Howard Group was not far from the antique shop, and they arrived quickly
Byran and Ellinor got out of the car.
“Theo, thanks! See you at the birthday party tomorrow!”
Theo gave a slight nod, still stone–faced, then rolled up the car window.
The car slowly sped up and headed into the distance
Byran proudly said to Ellinor as they watched Theo’s car leave, “See, even someone as icy as Theo is
willing to give me a lift. Do you know why?”
Ellinor kept a straight face, “No idea”
Byran looked even prouder, “Well, it’s because Theo treats me like family, that’s why he’s so nice to
me!”
Ellinor gave a faint smile, “Really? But I remember that your family doesn’t get along with the Blanchet
family, so why is Mr. Blanchet attending your grandpa’s birthday party
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtomorrow?
Byran explained, “Although our family doesn’t get along with the Blanchet family, my grandparents
don’t have any issues with the Blanchets. They’ve been on good terms for
years”
The two chatted as they walked into the elevator and went upstairs
After getting out of the elevator, Byran followed Ellinor to her office to avoid going back to his brother’s
office, where he might get scolded.
But he couldn’t avoid it forever.
Byran strode into Ellinor’s office, only to freeze in the doorway. His face turned sour as he felt a chill run
down his spine.
When Ellinor saw him standing still in the doorway, she knew there must be someone else in the office.
She walked a few steps forward and saw Balfour sitting in her
office
Balfour was sitting in front of Ellinor’s desk, his handsome face unreadable and his tone devoid of
any inflection.
“Where have you two been?”
