Her mom, her kids, and Theo… These were her true weaknesses.
From outside the room came a cacophony of noises, along with the pitter-patter of small feet and the chattering of children’s voices.
More visitors?
Balfour paid no mind to the commotion outside, simply holding Ellinor close and savoring his sister's rare display of dependency.
In the past, Ellinor would have briskly pushed him away in situations like this. Her acceptance of his embrace at this moment was indeed a rare sight.
However, the peaceful atmosphere was abruptly shattered as the door was forcefully pushed open.
"Ellinor, the kids and I came to visit. Ellinor...ah!! What are you doing?!"
Veronica's scream startled Ellinor.
From Veronica's angle, she couldn't see Balfour's face. All she saw was Ellinor in a man's arms, which sent a wave of jealousy that completely engulfed her.
Although she wasn't a man and she had no inappropriate thoughts about her sister-in-law, she was still her only sister-in-law. The fact that another man was touching her was unacceptable.
Even for her own brother's sake, she wouldn't stand by idly.
"Let's see who this is. Who dares take advantage of my sister-in-law? Trying to make moves on her while my brother is absent, huh?"
She stormed over, ready to confront the man, but when she saw his face, she was taken aback. It was Balfour.
