Ellinor yawned in exhaustion, rolling her eyes as she said, "You said it yourself; the kid is adopted, not his by blood.
And from what I know, you were the one who begged Mr. Blanchet to go with you to adopt the kid. You even said that all he had to do was help you bring the kid home and nothing else.
So whoever suggested it is responsible for it! Mr. Blanchet is still willing to help you take care of the kid out of kindness. But If he doesn't want to, you can't blame him.
Miss. Howard, if you take Mr. Blanchet's kindness as something that should be expected, then you're the one at fault here."
Unable to counter Ellinor, Patricia put on a pitiful face with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Ellinor, I just wanted Theo to go see our sick kid. Why are you being so hard on me and making me out to be the bad guy?"
Ellinor chuckled. She stepped forward and lifted Patricia's forlorn face, gripping her chin tightly.
"Am I being harsh? If you consider me explaining facts as being harsh, then let me tell you something harshly. From today on, if you pester Mr. Blanchet without reason, I won't hesitate to take action!"
Patricia's chin was gripped by Ellinor's cold fingers; she felt the strong warning and instinctively recoiled, crying, "Ellinor, how can you say that about me? I'm not a homewrecker."
Holding her chin, Ellinor lifted Patricia's face a little higher, "Whether you're a homewrecker or not isn't up to you! I, as the legitimate wife, will be the judge of that. If your actions have a negative impact on our marriage, I won't hesitate to take action!"
With that, she let go of Patricia's chin in disgust and pushed her face away.
Patricia's head jerked to the side, and when she turned it back, her face was wet with tears.
