Theo’s sudden appearance took everyone aback, and they started whispering among themselves.
"Holy cow! Am I seeing things? Did Theo really show up at the Howard family's bash?"
"Mr. Blanchet must be here for Ms. Howard, right? Breaking traditions to woo the girl he's head over heels in love with, who belongs to a family he's supposed to be feuding with. Talk about making a grand gesture!"
"I heard that despite the opposition from his own family, Mr. Blanchet is hell-bent on getting engaged to Ms. Howard!"
"Regardless of everything else, Theo is seriously hot! I'm green with envy. Ms. Howard is one lucky gal; not only does she have Balfour, who adores her, but she's also got this power player as her fiancé!"
Theo, with his head down, responded to Patricia, "Mm-hmm."
Though his response was brief, it left tons of room for speculation.
Theo's deep and lazy voice seemed to make their relationship crystal clear to the onlookers.
It was as if Theo and Patricia had become a cozy couple who didn't need much verbal communication.
However, seeing Patricia and Theo standing together, Balfour furrowed his brows.
Theo's presence was definitely not expected.
Subsequently, Balfour subconsciously glanced at Ellinor's reaction.
Ellinor was emotionless as usual; her face didn't portray any particular emotion.
Aunt Bluna seemed a bit miffed; she coldly looked at Theo, clearly unhappy with Patricia's closeness with him.
