Ellinor then turned her attention to Baber, who was playing with toys on the carpet.
"Alright, pack up your toys. How about we go out to the yard and soak up some sun? Maybe we could take a walk too."
Baber obediently followed Ellinor's instructions. He nodded, put the toys on the floor into the nearby storage box, ran back quickly, and grabbed Ellinor's hand. "Ellinor, let's go!"
Ellinor stood up, ready to lead Baber outside.
At the same time, a servant from the Howard family walked in to report something. "Mr. Howard, someone from the Blanchet family has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Balfour slightly furrowed his brows, looking somewhat surprised. "Which one?"
With Theo abroad, who else from the Blanchet family would come to the Howard family’s home?
The servant answered truthfully, "It's Ms. Veronica and Marissa Blanchet from the Blanchet family. They said they came to visit Ms. Mendoza."
Upon hearing this, Ellinor, who was about to go out, paused her steps.
Balfour wasn't exactly thrilled with the Blanchet family. He hadn't forgotten the past with them; he just set aside his prejudices for his sister's sake.
He furrowed his brows and then turned to Ellinor to seek her opinion.
Ellinor thought for a moment and said, "Since they're here, let them in."
Even though Balfour wasn't thrilled, he nodded, signaling the servant to follow Ellinor's wishes.
The servant understood Balfour's gesture and turned around to go entertain the guests.
