Chapter 1067
Out of the blue, Moran hollered at her retreating figure.
Ellinor halted in her tracks, spinning around to face him.
Veronica was taken aback, glancing first at her crush, Moran, then at Ellinor, with a wary look plastered across her
face.
Seeing that Ellinor didn’t reply, Moran carefully asked again, “May I?”
After a few seconds of consideration, Ellinor nodded, “Sure. Let’s go to the yard for our chat; it’s stuffy inside. It’d
be good to get some fresh air.”
Moran also nodded eamestly, “Alright.”
Then Ellinor tumed around, descending the stairs with the two of them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs they reached the entrance, Moran turned to Veronica.
“Veronica, you can leave us here. Don’t follow; I want to talk to Ellinor privately.”
Even though Veronica was unwilling, she didn’t dare defy Moran, obediently nodding, “Okay.”
She made a face at them, watching as they left the house together, then quickly scampered to the window to spy
on them.
Veronica had heard whispers about Moran’s crush on Ellinor at school. At first, she was furious, but she later
thought that since Ellinor already had her brother, she wouldn’t snatch Moran away, so she stopped bothering
about it.
But now it seemed that Moran still hadn’t let go of Ellinor.
If it were any other guy, she would definitely have told her brother. But since it was Moran, she worried that her
brother might give him a hard time, so she let it slide. The Blanchet family’s yard was spacious and filled with an
assortment of plants. In the moonlight, it looked beautiful.
Ellinor tilted her head upwards to gaze at the risen moon. Her eyes seemed somewhat distant, like she was lost in
thought.
“It’s Pearl!” Moran also looked up, whispering softly.
Ellinor snapped out of her reverie, turning to him, “I forgot you were still here. Do you have something to say?”
Moran furrowed his brows, hesitating before he said, “I have a question.”
Ellinor nodded kindly, “Mmm. What is it? Go on.”
Moran looked at her with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, “Theo… Veronica’s brother… has he been good to
you?”
Ellinor’s expression shifted slightly, “Why do you ask?”
Moran explained, “Veronica mentioned that her brother has been away on a trip for several days and hasn’t

truly cherishes his wife should be by her side at times like these.”
Ellinor fell silent for a moment before smiling faintly, “Thank you for your concern, but he’s been decent to me.”
Moran looked rather worried. He continued, “Ellinor, even though the Blanchet family can offer you a luxurious
lifestyle, if you don’t feel love and happiness here, no matter how great the things you have are, it’s not worth
staying. You might regret it.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “So, you think I’m staying here because of the Blanchet family’s background?”
Realizing his mistake, Moran hurriedly corrected himself, “No… I just think you and Veronica’s brother aren’t a good
match. He’s nearly ten years older than you, you don’t have common topics, your values are different, and he
doesn’t care enough about you! Why would you stay with him?”
Ellinor chuckled lightly, “That’s something only those involved in the relationship can understand. I’m clear about
what I’m doing, but I still appreciate your well–meaning advice.”
