Dean furrowed his brows, realizing that the lover Ellinor mentioned was Theo.
What a waste for such a cute gal to marry into the Blanchet family!
“Ellinor, where the heck did your mom go?” Alyssa asked again, more intently this time.
This question made Ellinor frown slightly, and a look of annoyance crossed her face.
After noticing Ellinor's discomfort, Dean had to step in. "Enough, Alyssa! Why are you so nosy today? Stop digging into Ellinor's past. We invited her over to thank her for her help, not to make her uncomfortable!"
Alyssa noticed the unease on Ellinor's face and apologized, "Ellinor, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dredge up your past."
Ellinor shook her head, "It's okay; you're just concerned about me."
Alyssa was still unsure, "Ellinor, would you mind if I asked you one last question?"
Dean frowned, "What more do you want to know? Enough with the questions; let Ellinor enjoy her meal!"
Ellinor calmly responded, "It's fine; I'm full. Grandma Alyssa, go ahead and ask."
Alyssa studied her face, "Ellinor, did you have any moles removed when you were younger? Maybe one between your eyebrows?"
After his wife asked her question, Dean paused, then understood his wife's suspicion and started observing Ellinor's face as well.
Ellinor shook her head, "No."
Alyssa pushed, "Are you sure? Could your family have removed it and you didn't know?"
