Chapter 210 Ellie's face turned pale with fear as soon as I spoke. She quickly shook her head while her grip on my arm tightened. "Mae, you've got it all wrong. That's not it at all. Bran has never liked any other girl. You're the first one." I knew Ellie was frightened as I saw her lips turning pale. I realized that I shouldn't scare her. After all, Ellie had a weak heart and couldn't handle the stress.

I reached out and tapped Ellie's nose lightly. "Look at you, getting all worked up. I know, Brandon already toldhe's never had a girlfriend." Ellie nodded before adding. "He's never liked any other girl either." Ellie was truly innocent. Her heart was pure and untouched by the world. I couldn't help but think that when Ellie eventually fell in love, she wouldn't be able to tolerate even the slightest wickedness in the boy she chose.

However, in today's world, how much innocence could Ellie really find? Suddenly, I felt a pang of worry. What if she got hurt when she fell in love? It was silly ofto worry so much. However, something about Ellie madefeel close to her even though we had just met. It was like Ellie was my own little sister.

"I know. Your brother is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. I'll treasure him," I reassured her.

Ellie smiled again. I felt relieved as she returned her attention to the photos. Even though I told Ellie I didn't care, I found myself drawn to the picture of Brandon piggybacking a girl. That girl definitely wasn't Ellie. She wouldn't have panicked while trying to explain if she was that girl.

So, who was the lucky girl that Brandon had carried on his back? Was she a neighbor or a cousin? She must have grown up by now. Would she suddenly reappear one day looking for Brandon like in scliché romance movie? I realized my imagination was running wild. So wild that I felt a little embarrassed by it. I glanced over at the Howell family portrait and my eyes lingered on Tom's face. There was something familiar about him, as if I had seen him somewhere before.

"Is this Mr. Howell?" I asked casually.

"Yeah, that's my dad. But he's not Mr. Howell, he's Mr Elordi, Ellie said. I paused as my heart skipped a beat.

My dad's driver used to be a man named Elordi. I remembered his ncleady because he used to joke with me, saying that it was Elordi with a "lord" in the neven though he was not of noble rank. Could it really be just a coincidence? I recalled what Brandon had mentioned before. He said both my dad's car accident and his dad's car accident were connected to Arthur. A chill ran down my spine. Could it be that Brandon's dad was my dad's driver? "Mae, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Ellie said.

Her voice pulledback to the present. I looked at her with an uneasy expression, but then I remembered that she had lost Alfred while still in her mom's arms.

So, she might not know certain things.

"Mae, are you feeling unwell Ellie had caught on to my discomfort.
