Byran truly felt for his sister. He knew that Ellinor's years-long search for Theo while single-handedly raising three kids was no easy feat. And now, they had finally found Theo, but he had lost his memory and was living with another woman.
Anyone would be devastated by such a turn of events.
No wonder his brother was sneaking into the hotel, trying to avoid any possible emotional distress for Ellinor.
Byran’s plan had backfired.
Now, not only did he have to worry about his sister's emotional state, but he also feared his brother's wrath.
Deep in thought, Byran followed Balfour and Ellinor into the car, heading towards the kindergarten to pick up the kids.
Sometimes he forgot that Baber was adopted by Theo and his biological sister, Patricia. After Patricia's mishap that led her to jail and Theo's disappearance, Ellinor had been the one raising Baber over the years.
He knew that Ellinor treated Baber as her own without any discrimination, something that not many women could manage.
She was such a good woman, yet her love life had been full of hurdles.
Ellinor sat in the middle. Her mind was seemingly somewhere else. Balfour, worried about his sister's mental state, rested his arm on her shoulder, considering whether to comfort her.
Byran also wanted to comfort his sister. He attempted to hold her hand, but he was rejected.
Her hand was cold. She didn’t want their pity.
Her current state was just a reflection of the irony and absurdity of the situation. She felt like a joke!
She had given birth to three of the man's children, yet she was the last to know.
