Chapter 398
Theo Blanchet gave a nod to the folks upstairs, then proceeded to escort Ellinor up.
Ellinor, however, rooted herself to the spot, shaking her head. “Mr. Blanchet, I’d rather wait here for my
wings; I’ll pass on the upstairs tour.”
Theo didn’t force her, “Alright, then chill and enjoy your grub here; I’ll head up, take a look, and come
back for you”
Ellinor happily flashed an OK sign, taking a bite of the BBQ meat Theo handed her and enjoying it
immensely
Upon Theo’s entry into the villa, Jonah brought over a skewer of freshly grilled wings to Ellinor with a
big grin on his face, “You’re something else, Ellinor. You’ve managed to tame the tough nut, Theo!”

barbecuing for them all by yourself; aren’t you beat?” Ellinor smiled.
Jonah paused and admiringly looked at Ellinor, “Ellinor, everyone’s just concerned about how good my
BBQ is; only you care about whether I’m having a hard time doing it! I’m so touched!”
With that, he put down the barbecue and walked towards Ellinor to give her a hug!
Ellinor swiftly sidestepped Jonah’s overly enthusiastic embrace.
Jonah didn’t feel awkward at all; in fact, he laughed even harder, “You’re right! They’re all just stuffing
their faces; none of them care about the birthday boy! Ellinor, you’re the best, help me keep an eye on
the fire; don’t let the wings burn; Lll be back after a quick restroom break!”
Ellinor fell silent.
Jonah was clearly trying to dump this task on her.
However, Ellinor still agreed; she didn’t want to go in and chat with strangers anyway, so she walked
over to the grill, flipped the wings, and brushed another layer of sauce on them.
She was thinking that if everyone was just interested in chatting and not eating the barbecue, then
maybe all these wings would be hers.
She hoped they were all inside, fervently chatting away, and not coming out to snatch her wings.
“Hey, Ellinor!”
Just as she was worrying about someone coming out to snatch her wings, someone showed up!
Ellinor lifted her head from the grill, and there was Byran Howard.
Byran had a stern face and a haughty demeanor.
This was the same expression he wore every time he saw her, as if she owed him money!
“Oh, it’s you! Finished your homework already and came out to play?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmByran always felt that Ellinor spoke to him like he was a kid and he frowned unhappily, “Done ages
ago!”
“Alright, go have fun then.” Ellinor didn’t pay any more attention to Byran and focused on grilling her
favorite wings.
Byran didn’t leave. He stood in front of the grill and watched Ellinor. He hesitated for a while, then
finally said, “Ellinor, about the last time, I want to apologize on behalf of Balfour. He’s usually pretty
decent, but whenever someone mentions Pearl Howard, he gets really tense.”
Ellinor took a bite of her wing, “Oh, is that so?”
Byran’s expression became somewhat awkward, “Ellinor, you’re not mad at me, are you?”
“Huh? Mad at you for what?”
