Chapter 1312
Balfour stared at her quietly for a while and then slowly cracked a smile. “No worries. You just seem a bit off today.
Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Ellinor replied, “I’m good. I just had a few dreams.”
Balfour stood up and gently patted Ellinor’s head. “Don’t overthink before bed, then you won’t dream.”
Ellinor nodded slightly.
Balfour turned to Byran beside him, his tone getting serious. “Byran, I got someone to call in sick for you today.
Stay home and keep Ellinor company.”
Byran stared at him in surprise. What? Did he hear that right? Balfour actually helped him skip school?
Seeing his brother’s surprise, Balfour reminded him sternly. “Even though I got you off, your teacher left homework
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor you. It better be done before I get home from work.”
“Oh, got it…” Byran nodded obediently. He didn’t expect to have homework even on a day off. But hey, doing
homework at home wasn’t that bad. He could even sneak out for a bit while Balfour was out.
After Balfour left, Byran turned to Ellinor in amazement.
“Ellinor, you’re something else! He actually got me off school because he was worried you’d be bored at home.
I heard he was really fond of Pearl, and I always wondered just how much he loved her.
Now I get it. You’re even more powerful than my sister, Patricia! Balfour always had rules for her, but for you, he’s
got none!”
Ellinor smiled. “Eat your breakfast, then do your homework!”
She didn’t want to compare herself with Patricia. She wasn’t interested in who Balfour liked more,
either.
Byran grinned and suddenly dropped his pride. “Can I go out for a bit this afternoon then? Just an hour, I promise I’ll
be back on time.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “If you can finish your homework this morning, sure.”
Byran jumped up immediately. “No problem! I’ll get on it now.”
After saying this, he ran upstairs to do his homework.
Ellinor looked at his breakfast and shook her head.
These young people sure have a lot of energy.
She needed to eat well and get her strength up so she could be in the best condition for the baby’s birth.
At half past ten in the morning, Byran excitedly ran downstairs with his completed homework to show Ellinor.
“Look! I finished my homework!”
Ellinor was on her phone, checking why Theo hadn’t accepted her money transfer. She reminded him earlier, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe wasn’t responding.
He really knew how to rile people up! Why couldn’t he just accept it?
Hearing Byran made her come back to reality. She took the homework book from him and started checking his
answers.
While slowly raising her hand, Ellinor asked, “Where’s the pen?”
Byran frowned in confusion “Why do you need a pen? You don’t have homework to do.”
Ellinor pointed to a question on his homework. “Why? I’m going to circle the mistakes. If you don’t correct them,
you’re not going out!”
“Oh!” Byran scratched his head in annoyance.
Left with no choice, he turned to go upstairs and get a pen.
Ellinor found over twenty mistakes in Byran’s homework. She had him sit and correct them, then checked again.
To be able to go out, Byran had no choice but to listen to her and carefully correct his mistakes.
