Theo's gaze turned frosty. "I haven't forgotten what Patricia did for me. I'll make sure to return the favor."
"Really?" Balfour sneered, shooting Ellinor an ironic look.
Theo didn't have much to dispute in this matter. Because Patricia had once helped him, he always maintained a certain respect for the Howard family.
Without saying much more, Theo reached to hold Ellinor's hand and was ready to leave. "Let's go home."
Ellinor tugged at Theo's hand, signaling him to wait. She wasn't in a rush to leave just yet.
Theo paused. "What's up?"
Ellinor looked calmly at Balfour. "Mr. Balfour, I want to ask, is it your family tradition to expect something in return after helping someone?"
"What are you trying to say?" Balfour furrowed his brow.
"Patricia once saved Mr. Blanchet, so should he repay her? If he doesn't, is that considered ungrateful?"
Balfour fell silent, waiting for her to continue.
"Well, I helped your grandfather before. According to your logic, shouldn't he owe me? So, should you be calling me Granny right now?"
