Chapter 485

Balfour couldn’t figure out why he was feeling this undeniable concern for Ellinor, who was someone he

didn’t particularly like

He rubbed his temples, thinking maybe he was overworked and that was messing with his head

Soon, their car pulled up to Pearl Moon,

Ellinor followed Balfour out of the car and into Pearl Moon.

After a few steps, Balfour stopped suddenly, turned to look at Ellinor, and asked, “Cold?”

was a winter night, and the temperature had dropped significantly

Ellinor, in her thin dress, had arms going red from the cold, but she replied calmly. “I’m fine!

Balfour stared at her for a moment, then turned to Quinton and said, ‘Quinton, get my coat from the car

for Ms. Mendoza

Quinton looked surprised for a moment but did as he was told.

When Quinton draped a brand new coat over her shoulders, Ellinor was a bit taken aback. “Thank you

for your concern.”

Balfour replied nonchalantly, “Don’t read too much into it. I just don’t want you catching a cold and

spreading it to me at work tomorrow.”

Ellinor smiled, “I’m not overthinking it. I should be thankful for your care, no matter the reason. It’s just

common courtesy

Balfour gave her a glance but didn’t say anything else and walked towards the banquet hall with Ellinor

trailing behind.

Pearl Moon was the private property of the Howard family. At the entrance of the banquet hall, guests

needed to sign in with their partners before they could enter

No exceptions, no matter who you were.

This was a tradition of the Howard family for celebrating birthdays

So, every year, Balfour would bring a date.

Inside the banquet hall, Balfour’s arrival caused a bit of a stir

Balfour rarely attended such events, and his appearance drew everyone’s attention. Only someone like

Aunt Bluna could possibly cajole him into showing up

“Look, Mr. Howard brought a date!”

“Whose girl is that? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”

“She’s stunning! And she’s wearing Mr. Howard’s coat; they must be close.”

“It’s not unusual, Mr. Howard’s of marrying age now. It’s totally appropriate for him to bring a girlfriend

to Aunt Bluna’s birthday”

“I remember Haillie being Mr. Howard’s date every year.”

“Haillie only got to hang out with Mr. Howard because she was friends with Ms. Howard. This year, he’s

got his own date. Maybe he doesn’t need her anymore.”

“Yeah, I don’t think Mr. Howard was ever interested in Haillie.”

Balfour completely ignored the gossip around him. He surveyed the banquet hall, then said to Ellinor,

“Find a spot to sit for a while; I need to greet some elders.”

“Sure, Mr. Howard.” Ellinor replied formally, thinking in her heart that Balfour was probably trying to

avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings by not introducing her to the elders

Balfour took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at Ellinor with a complicated expression.

What was he worried about?
