Ellinor pulled her gaze back, expressionless, her tone nonchalant, “Just ignore him.”

Belinda, still not fully recovered from a painful breakup and now drunk, was puzzled, “Ellinor, your husband is upstairs with another woman and you’re not bothered?”

Ellinor casually sipped her juice, “I don’t care.”

Belinda was outraged. “This is not right! If you’re too afraid to confront your husband, I will! He’s married and yet he’s with another. woman. I’m so disappointed in my uncle!” She stormed off upstairs, fists clenched in anger.

Ellinor wanted to stop her but didn’t. She massaged her brow, thinking, let Belinda go. Theo wouldn’t do anything to his own niece.
