The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 898

Patricia scrunched up her face in innocence, “Bro, I get it. I messed up, and I owe Ellinor an apology. But I don’t think we need to make a big deal out of this. Ellinor is now Mrs. Blanchet, a part of the Blanchet family. And we all know the Howards and the Blanchets aren’t exactly best buds. If you’re bending over backward for Mrs. Blanchet, people might think we’re chickening out…”

Balfour’s face turned grim. “The Blanchets are the Blanchets, and she is she! Do you think we shouldn’t take her seriously? You, of all people, should treat her right!”

Patricia was taken aback, quickly defending herself, “Bro, I do respect Ellinor. I even invited her for a ride today, didn’t mind asking the driver to go out of the way to drop her home. I just feel you haven’t really done anything wrong to her, and there’s no need for you to grovel. It breaks my heart to see you like this…”

Balfour gave her a cold stare and said, “You don’t need to worry about me.”

With that, he turned and walked back into his office.

With no one stopping her, Patricia bit her lip in frustration, picked up her packed food, and followed Balfour into the CEO’s office.
