Chapter 822

Dean jumped in, siding with his grandson, “Balfour, you’re spot on! Xenia, you scared off my savior here, aren’t you

going to apologize to her?”

Xenia was a proud woman. There was no way she’d apologize to a young girl like Ellinor.

But Dean had spoken. She had to listen, right?

With all her extensive knowledge and experience, she knew she needed to suck it up sometimes to get things done.

She’d wait for the right moment to deal with Ellinor.

So, Xenia forced a smile and said politely, “Ms. Mendoza, I apologize. I didn’t realize your importance earlier and

was disrespectful.”

Ellinor smiled back, “It’s okay. I know it wasn’t intentional. No one told you I was the guest today.”

Xenia’s smile froze. What was this girl implying?

Was she hinting that Xenia wasn’t important enough to be informed about the guest?

Damn! This kid had some tricks up her sleeve. Xenia couldn’t underestimate her.”

Balfour didn’t think there was any double meaning in Ellinor’s words. If there was, then someone was overthinking.

After Xenia apologized, Balfour was relieved to see Ellinor’s expression lighten up.

He walked to a chair, pulled it out like a gentleman, “Ellinor, come sit here.”

To spite Xenia and her daughter, Ellinor didn’t refuse Balfour’s kind gesture and naturally walked over to sit down.

The seat was next to Alyssa, which was usually occupied by Patricia.

Patricia was fuming when she saw Ellinor take her spot. She nearly lost control of her emotions and gritted her

teeth.

Today, Balfour actually invited Ellinor to sit next to Grandma. That was too much! Ellinor was an outsider!

As soon as Ellinor sat down, Balfour pulled out another chair and sat next to her.

Alyssa picked up a chicken wing with her fork, “Ellinor, are you hungry? Eat up!”

Ellinor smiled politely, “Thank you, Grandma Alyssa. But there’s so much food, we cant possibly finish it all.”

Alyssa kindly said, “Dean and I didn’t know what you liked, so we asked the kitchen to prepare a variety. Feel free to

eat whatever you like.”

Dean chimed in, “Yes, Ellinor, don’t be shy! Eat whatever you like, and anything you don’t like, just have Balfour

move it aside.”

Ellinor felt a bit overwhelmed while looking at the spread, “But there’s so much…”

“Grandpa and grandma are just not sure how to treat you right. Just eat more, that’s all” Balfour said warmly while

sneakily adding some of his own cooking to her bowl.

He remembered Pearl loved this dish. Would she still like it now?

Patricia couldn’t help but dig her nails into her palm as she watched the overly harmonious scene at the table.

Then, McNeil Howard walked over, greeting his parents politely, “Dad, Mom.”

Dean nodded, introducing to his son, “McNeil, this is the kid who saved my life.”

After sitting next to his father, McNeil Howard looked up at Ellinor, nodded slightly, and smiled, “Actually, we already

met in the garden. Ms. Mendoza, I didn’t get a chance to thank you earlier. I really appreciate your help; you were

just in the nick of time to save my

dad”

Ellinor wasn’t too keen on dealing with her unreliable father. She simply responded, “No need to thank me; I just did

what I should have.”
