Chapter 798
Dean furrowed his brows, realizing that the lover Ellinor mentioned was Theo.
What a waste for such a cute gal to marry into the Blanchet family!
“Ellinor, where the heck did your mom go?” Alyssa asked again, more intently this time.
This question made Ellinor frown slightly, and a look of annoyance crossed her face.
After noticing Ellinor’s discomfort, Dean had to step in “Enough, Alyssa! Why are you so nosy today? Stop digging
into Ellinor’s past. We invited her over to thank her for her help, not to make her uncomfortable!”

Alyssa noticed the unease on Ellinor’s face and apologized, “Ellinor, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to dredge up your
past.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllinor shook her head, “It’s okay; you’re just concerned about me.”
Alyssa was still unsure, “Ellinor, would you mind if I asked you one last question?”
Dean frowned, “What more do you want to know? Enough with the questions; let Ellinor enjoy her meal!”
Ellinor calmly responded, “It’s fine, I’m full. Grandma Alyssa, go ahead and ask.”
Alyssa studied her face, “Ellinor, did you have any moles removed when you were younger? Maybe one between
your eyebrows?”
After his wife asked her question, Dean paused, then understood his wife’s suspicion and started observing Ellinor’s
face as well.
Ellinor shook her head, “No.”
Alyssa pushed, “Are you sure? Could your family have removed it and you didn’t know?”
Ellinor laughed, “Grandma Alyssa, you said that was your last question. Can I not answer this one?”
Alyssa still held hope, but all she could do was give an awkward smile, “Sorry Ellinor, I shouldn’t have asked so
many questions. Are you full? Try some dessert! Here, how do my cookies taste?”
With that, Alyssa presented a box of cookies to Ellinor.
Ellinor didn’t hesitate, taking a bite and expressing her appreciation, “Mmm! Delicious, but not too sweet, and the
flavor is much richer than store-bought cookies.”
Alyssa beamed, as if she’d been praised by her own granddaughter, “Really? If you like them, have more! If it’s not
enough, I can bake more for you!”
Ellinor waved her off, “One is enough; my husband doesn’t want me to eat too much sweet stuff. He’d scold me if
he knew.”
Dean became a bit unhappy after he heard her say that, “Ellinor, how dare Theo criticize you? Doesn’t he treat you
well?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEllinor shook her head, “So far, Mr. Blanchet has been very good to me. His limiting my sweets is for my health, not
to restrict my freedom.”
Dean’s displeasure with the Blanchet family was clear. He huffed unhappily.
“Ellinor, if you ever change your mind and decide you don’t like Mr. Blanchet anymore, let me know. I can introduce
you to someone better anytime.”
Someone better than Mr. Blanchet?
She doubted that such a person existed in the world, at least not in her eyes.
Ellinor couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you for your kindness, but I might not need it.”
Dean, both sympathetic and worried, said earnestly, “You silly girl. You’re so young, and you’ve already given your
heart to one person. You should go out and see more before making a choice”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, teasing, “Grandpa Dean, are you implying that you had other options besides Grandma
Alyssa?”
Dean shot her a glance, struggling to find a good response.
