McNeil asked with a bit of surprise, "You don't mind Theo Blanchet taking the kid he adopted with Patri to live with him?"
Ellinor glanced at McNeil, "Whether I mind or not doesn't matter. The kid is back in the picture, and someone has to raise him. Anyway, it's not the kid's fault."
McNeil looked at her with a hint of admiration.
Where could you find a girl who is this open-hearted, willing to accept a child her husband adopted with another woman?
At this point, the butler for the Howard family rushed over and whispered something in Dean's ear, and his face instantly darkened, "What? Send more people to search immediately!"
The butler nodded and took the order, then turned to leave.
Dean looked at Ellinor with a complex expression, "Ellinor, why don't you go home and rest for today? As for the kid, we'll think about whether to let you and the Blanchet family take him."
Ellinor nodded and said, "All right, I'll wait for your message then. I'll take my leave now."
She then stood up, bid everyone politely, and prepared to leave.
McNeil also stood up, "Let me walk you out."
Ellinor was pretty cold towards this irresponsible father. There was a hint of rejection in her eyes, "Please stay. I know my way out; no need for you to accompany me."
McNeil stopped in his tracks rather helplessly, "All right then, take care on your way."
"Mm," Ellinor responded briefly, then turned to leave.
...
Once she left the Howard family's gate, she got into a black car that was waiting for her.
