Elliot stared at the photo of the middle-aged man once again, but he still did not have a clue as to who that was.
Perhaps this man appeared near the mansion and smiled at Elliot last night because he really did have a psychological disorder.
Elliot scrunched up the piece of paper, tossed it into the trash, then walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
After Mrs. Scarlet saw Elliot go upstairs, she immediately went into the kitchen and called Mrs. Cooper.
"I heard that Master Elliot got into a fight with Eric Santos,” said Mrs. Cooper." Master Elliot wasn't the one who started it, though. They both left after the fight." "I see. I was wondering why he got back so early!"
"How's he doing?" Mrs. Cooper asked considerately.
"He doesn't look too happy, but he seems alright." Then, Mrs. Scarlet said, "Did things go well between him and the kids today?"
Mrs. Cooper laughed on the other end of the line. "He didn’t get to spend time with the kids today. He spent all day entertaining guests. Avery was the one who asked him to do it."
Mrs. Scarlet’s cheeks flushed. "It looks like they've gotten much closer."
"That's right! They look better than they did before. Let's hope there won't be any conflicts between them again,” Mrs. Cooper said concernedly. "Otherwise, I'd feel bad for their three children."
"Let's hope so. I'm going to make dinner now."
After his shower, Elliot walked downstairs in a tracksuit.
Mrs. Scarlet placed the dishes she just made on the dining room table.
"Dinner's ready, Master Elliot."
Elliot headed into the dining room, took a seat, and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll be away for about a week. You can take a break and go home."
Mrs. Scarlet's face turned gloomy as she said, "I haven't had a home to go back to since my parents passed away, Master
Elliot.”
Elliot was slightly taken aback. "Do you want to go on a holiday, then?"
Mrs. Scarlet shook her head and said," Don't worry about me. I'm quite content just staying here at home."
After dinner, he went into the study did not emerge until about an hour later.
