Byran, driven by curiosity, said, “I’m gonna sneak upstairs for a look.”
Carlos tried to stop him. “I think you’d better stay in your room, don’t bother Balfour.”
Byran shrugged him off. “Don’t worry! I just wanna eavesdrop a bit to see if Balfour is talking to
someone I know. He won’t notice.”
Carlos wanted to stop him, but Byran was too quick
Upstairs, in Balfour’s room.
Balfour had just peeled an orange and gently offered it to the girl in his room. “Ellinor, would you like an
orange?”
Ellinor dismissed it with a wave of her hand. “Thanks, but I’m not hungry.”
Balfour looked a bit disappointed but didn’t get angry. He put the orange on the table and offered her a
glass of milk instead. “How about a little milk?”
Ellinor accepted the milk but didn’t drink it and put it back on the table. “Mr. Howard, you don’t have to
be so polite.”
Balfour sighed. “I’m not being polite; I’m just concerned about you.”
Ellinor stared at him, her eyes icy. “Well, thanks for the concern and for coming to pick me up.”

“You don’t have to be polite with me. I’m glad you turned to me when you needed help.”
Actually, Ellinor didn’t want to.
But when Theo trapped her in the car and didn’t let her go, there was no one she could think of that
could stand up to Theo.
If she asked Chase, Ida, or Bartlett for help, they wouldn’t be able to do much.
Theo wouldn’t let her go just because of them.
She didn’t know what to do, so she thought of Balfour.
Although Theo and Balfour didn’t get along, he did respect Balfour a bit.
And she was sure that if she called Balfour, he would come.
So, when Theo wasn’t looking, she secretly sent Balfour a message, asking him to pick her up and
sending him her location.
Balfour came quickly.
Theo didn’t seem to react when he saw that it was Balfour.
After a few words between the two men, Theo let her go with Balfour.
However, she just wanted Balfour to pick her up and then take her home or leave her somewhere
where she could hail a cab.
But Balfour insisted on taking her back to the Howard family’s residence.
“Mr. Howard, you brought me to your house, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything important. It’s
getting late; I should go home. My friends will be worried if they can’t find me.” Ellinor frowned, looking
somewhat displeased.
Balfour stared at her intently. “This is your home; you should rest here. Your room is taken care of
every day, so you can move right in.”
Ellinor looked resistant. “I’m sorry, I only asked you for a favor, I didn’t plan on staying at your house.”
Balfour gently held her shoulder, stopping her from getting up. “Ellinor, you could go into labor at any
moment. I can only rest easy if you’re within my sight.”
“I live with my friends; if anything happens, they will take me to the hospital immediately. Mr. Howard, I
appreciate your kind intentions, but it’s not appropriate for me, an outsider, to stay at your house.”
Balfour stared at her with a pained expression. “Ellinor, how can you say you’re an outsider? Our
grandparents and our father have been thinking about you and looking for you for many years.”
