Byran seemed really ticked off, "During those three months you spent with the Blanchet family, Theo must have caught feelings for you; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so nice to you!
After you left, Theo was down in the dumps for quite a while, and he's just recently started to bounce back.
He’s getting along well with my sister, so I hope you won’t try to elbow your way back into his life. My sister's health isn’t the best, so she needs Theo's company more than you do."
Ellinor felt a bit lost. Did Theo become all gloomy because of her?
So what? He brought it on himself!
He already had a woman and a kid, but he messed with her feelings out of loneliness. In the end, maybe he did develop a bit of a conqueror's desire.
He couldn't conquer her, so he got all moody?
Byran stared at Ellinor thoughtfully, his brows furrowed.
"Ellinor... There are plenty of good men out there! If you fancy my brother Balfour, I don't mind you marrying him. My brother Balfour is just as great as Theo; I can even help you woo him!"
Ellinor gave a slight smile. For his sister Patricia's happiness, this kid was willing to sacrifice his own brother.
"Don’t worry, I’m not gonna fight over a man with your sister. I don’t have the time or energy for such nonsense. Thanks for the offer, but I can handle my own affairs. I’m not short of men, so you and your brother should just look after yourselves."
Byran felt a bit miffed, as if his brother had been snubbed, "Yeah, right. As soon as you landed in K city, there was a man waiting for you in a luxury car. You're definitely not short of men!"
Ellinor didn't bother to explain. She couldn't care less about what he thought.
