Chapter 451

Balfour helped Patricia up, gracefully stood himself, and grabbed his coal. “Let’s take Patri out for lunch

and have a chat while we’re at it”

“Alright”

Ellinor, listening from behind the bookshelf, unconsciously placed her hand on her two month pregnant

belly, her gaze cold and sarcastic

The matter Balfour wanted to discuss with Theo probably involved Theo and Patricia’s upcoming

engagement.

The two of them already had a child together, their parents definitely couldn’t object anymore.

It was likely that the elders of the Blanchet and Howard families had already reconciled and broken the

deadlock.

Balfour, with his arm around Patricia’s shoulders, walked with Theo toward the office door. Suddenly,

he stopped as if remembering something, he said

“Theo, something urgent came up, can you take Patri there first? I had Quinton make a reservation.

You guys go ahead and eat. As soon as I’m done here, I’ll come find you.”

Theo agreed His tone was calm and emotionless.

“We’ll head to the restaurant first then! Make sure you catch up with us soon!” Patricia said sweetly.

Balfour smiled indulgently, “Sure!”

Ellinor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Theo and Patricia were about to leave. Thankfully,

she hadn’t been discovered

But suddenly, she felt a wave of intense nausea. She instinctively covered her mouth and did her best

to suppress any noise

Her morning sickness had worsened recently, perhaps due to stress or a lack of rest.

Feeling incredibly sick, Ellinor took a step back with her hand still over her mouth. Finally, the

nauseating feeling in her stomach made her cough softly.

*Cough…”

Theo, who was about to leave with Patricia, was caught by the cough. His eyes instantly narrowed.

Theo stopped in his tracks. He turned around with his cold gaze fixed on the bookshelf.

That sound… It sounded like Ellinor.

Patricia also heard it, stopped in her tracks, and looking back, she asked curiously “Balfour, was

someone just coughing? Is there someone else in your office?”

Balfour turned his face, glancing at the bookshelf in his office with his expression unchanged, “Sound?

Patri, you must have heard wrong.”

“No, I’m sure I heard something‘ Sounded like a girl, too! Balfour, are you hiding a woman in here? I

want to check!”

After being teased by Balfour, her face was all flushed. If Balfour really was hiding a woman in his

office, Patricia also wanted to seize the chance to tease him back,

Seeing Patricia heading for the bookshelf, Balfour’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he said nothing.

He didn’t plan on helping Ellinor, he just thought if she was found, things would get a bit complicated.

But he didn’t care

There was nobody else here.

Hearing Patricia’s approaching footsteps, Ellinor felt a sense of unease. She had nowhere to hide

anymore. After retching, her face turned somewhat pale, and her breath started to quicken.

Patricia, wearing a mischievous smile, peeked behind the bookshelf. But when she saw Ellinor, her

face instantly froze.

For almost a minute, her expression went from frozen to surprised, and finally to anger and disgust.

Why on earth was Ellinor here?!

Patricia was eyeing Ellinor and Ellinor was looking right back at her.

Why was Ellinor in Balfour’s office? What was she up

At the same time, the sound of sturdy footsteps was drawing nearer
