"Haillie, Ellinor came with Balfour because of work. It’s not what you're thinking! Alright, you've had too much to drink. Let's go to the balcony and get some fresh air to sober you up!"
Haillie looked a bit pissed off. She wanted to confront Ellinor but Patricia managed to calm her down. She shot Ellinor a dirty look before following Patricia to the balcony.
The evening breeze on the balcony was chilling.
Haillie sobered up a bit but her resentment didn't subside. "Patricia, you shouldn't have stopped me. I should've put Ellinor in her place!"
Patricia shook her head with understanding and patience. "Haillie, you were too hot-headed. Don't forget it's Aunt Bluna's birthday party!"
Haillie shivered as she realized this and instantly regretted her actions.
She almost forgot that this party was for the elder of the Howard family, Aunt Bluna.
Aunt Bluna was a tough cookie, and causing a scene at her birthday party would be a surefire way to get on her bad side.
If that happened, not only would Haillie be kicked out on the spot, but she'd also lose Aunt Bluna's support for her relationship with Balfour.
"Patricia, thank god you stopped me. Otherwise, I would've pissed off Aunt Bluna, and that would've been a mess!"
"As long as you understand, Haillie."
