Marissa was relieved to hear Ellinor was okay, but it also confirmed that she wasn't pregnant. The old lady couldn't help but feel bummed out. Looks like Ellinor and her grandson have to keep pushing for it next month!
Things didn't go as Byran expected. He walked up to Theo and said, "Theo, before you got here, I saw Ellinor hanging out with that guy in the lounge. It was all sketchy. You should totally dump her!"
Theo replied, "Aren't you supposed to be at school? Why are you so nosy about my wife?"
Byran got awkward, "I... I took a day off!"
Theo asked again, "Just to spy on my wife?"
Byran stammered, "I... I just happened to see her alone outside, so I followed her, and then I saw her meeting with another guy..."
Theo, poker-faced, said, "Byran, let me remind you, she married me to be the lady of the Blanchet family, not to be in prison. Where she wants to go, who she wants to meet is her own business. As her husband, I trust her judgment and believe she wouldn’t do anything improper.”
Byran, not convinced, raised his voice, "But she has done something improper! She was in a room with another man, even lying in bed!"
Veronica also joined in, "Theo, Ellinor really..."
Theo coldly looked at Veronica, "You're making a fuss too! And you dragged grandma here? She's old, what if something happened to her because of this, how would you take responsibility?"
Veronica immediately lost her voice, "Theo, I..."
"Take grandma home now!" Theo ordered sternly.
Veronica didn't dare to say anything else, obediently helped grandma out, and went home...
