Chapter 122

Ellinor thought back to how Theo had treated her, how hed made it crystal clear to her that he could gi It was obvious his heart was already somewhere else with Byran’s sister

Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she smiled, “Thanks for the heads up, but I'm not really into making frie With that, she walked away with grace

Byran, whose friend request was

promptly denied, looked disgruntled. He followed Ellinor stubbornly, clearly not willing to let it go. “Ellinor, who are you calling a kid? I'm not a kid?

Ellinor ignored him, letting him trail behind her while she casually looked for Sheila in the ballroom. After a once—over of the room and with no sight of Sheila, she noticed a swing chair by the floor-to— ceiling windows

She walked over and sat down to take a break.

The swing chair was positioned perfectly to view the most beautiful scenery in Pearl Moon, the garden Looking up, the full moon seemed to be falling into a sea of flowers

This place was not only a symbol of opulence but also

of exquisite taste and romantic ambience; no wonder the elite of Greenhaven chose it for weddings ana Ellinor wasn't usually a fan of such parties, but she found herself surprisingly fond of this place, a feelin “Ellinor! I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?”

Byran shook his head, looking a little down, “I'm not sure! I never met Pearl, they say she disappeared \ she was very young. I guess... she might be dead”

Realizing shed touched a sore spot, Ellinor frowned slightly, “Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that”

Byrans mood swings were quick, the sadness on his face vanished in an instant, he said

determinedly. “It's okay’ I consider you a friend, so you can ask anything!”

Ellinor fell silent

She didn't remember agreeing to be friends.

Just then, the Howard family’s servant, Carios, rushed over looking relieved, “Mr. Howard! There you ar Byran turned to Carlos impatiently. “What do you want?”

Carlos was about to speak when he noticed the wound on his master’s face. He swallowed his words, lo How did you get hurt?”
