Ellinor sat across from him, resting her head on her hand as she looked at him dreamily. "Man, who were you just texting? It wasn't me, was it?"
Marcus snapped out of his thoughts and quickly glanced upstairs to make sure Sophia and her father hadn't come down yet. His nerves relaxed a bit, and he looked back at Ellinor. He was in no mood for banter. "Quit fooling around. You and Tristan need to leave now. You can't let Sophia's father see you. Go!"
Ellinor suppressed a smile. "What's there to be afraid of?"
Her nonchalant attitude made Marcus a bit anxious. "I'm not joking with you right now!"
Ellinor smiled. "I know. Don't worry; I have it under control."
Under control?
What control?!
If she really had it under control, she wouldn't be here!
While Ellinor and Marcus were talking, Tristan, who had come down with Ellinor, was sizing up Adrian, who was sitting next to Marcus.
How strange!
It was like looking in a mirror.
Adrian and Tristan were seeing each other face-to-face for the first time, and they couldn't believe how much they looked alike.
Lea was dumbfounded for a moment and then looked at Ellinor with a mix of respect and curiosity. "Madam, why did you come down? My parents just went upstairs to find you. Did you see them?"
Ellinor looked at Lea and shook her head. "No. Didn't I tell you that your parents don't need to thank me?"
Lea insisted. "Madam, they owe you their lives. My mom really wants to thank you in person. Plus, they didn't believe me when I said I'd found you. I need to prove I really did."
