Chapter 1497

Ellinor chuckled lightly. “What brings you here so early, Bryan?”

Bryan shrugged. “Nothing major. Didn’t we agree yesterday that I would come to the Blanchet family’s house to see you and the kids? I’m still jet-lagged and couldn’t sleep at all last night. I’m tired this morning, but if I sleep now, I’ll never adjust to the local time. So, I figured I’d come over early, wait for you to finish work, and then we could go pick up the kids together.

Bryan frowned. “My brother did plan to position me in the company, but I just got back to the country. Shouldn’t I have some time to adjust?”
