Chapter 122
Ellinor thought back to how Theo had treated her, how he’d made it crystal clear to her that he could
give her anything but his heart in these three months.
It was obvious his heart was already somewhere else with Byran’s sister
Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she smiled, “Thanks for the heads up, but I’m not really into making
friends with kids.”
With that, she walked away with grace
Byran, whose friend request was promptly denied, looked disgruntled. He followed Ellinor stubbornly,
clearly not willing to let it go.
“Ellinor, who are you calling a kid? I’m not a kid?
Ellinor ignored him, letting him trail behind her while she casually looked for Sheila in the ballroom.
After a once–over of the room and with no sight of Sheila, she noticed a swing chair by the floor–to–

She walked over and sat down to take a break.
The swing chair was positioned perfectly to view the most beautiful scenery in Pearl Moon, the garden
under the moonlight and the beautiful fountain.
Looking up, the full moon seemed to be falling into a sea of flowers
This place was not only a symbol of opulence but also of exquisite taste and romantic ambience; no
wonder the elite of Greenhaven chose it for weddings and other significant events.
Ellinor wasn’t usually a fan of such parties, but she found herself surprisingly fond of this place, a
feeling that she couldn’t put into words.
“Ellinor! I’m talking to you! Did you hear me?”
Byran was still yapping beside her, saying something about how befriending him was an honor and she
should appreciate it, and that she had to be his friend or else it was
an insult, etc.
Ellinor paid him no mind, just looking up at the full moon, and then suddenly asked, ‘Byran, you said
earlier that Pearl Moon has a special significance to your family, what’s so special about it?”
Despite Ellinor not agreeing to be friends, Byran had taken it upon himself to consider her one.
So he didn’t mind answering her question.
“This is an estate my father built for my sister; she loved lively places It’s usually empty, so my father
allows people to hold parties here to keep it fively”
Ellinor lazily squinted her eyes, ‘Pearl Moon, it’s a pretty name is Ms. Howard the one Theo’s got the
hots for?”
Byran replied, “No! I have two sisters; the one involved with Theo is my younger sister, Patricia
Howard. My elder sister was Pearl Howard; sadly, she’s no longer with us. Pearl Moon was built in her
memory”
Ellinor glanced at him, ‘No longer with us? She passed away?”
Byran shook his head, looking a little down, “I’m not sure! I never met Pearl, they say she disappeared

Realizing she’d touched a sore spot, Ellinor frowned slightly, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that”
Byrans mood swings were quick, the sadness on his face vanished in an instant, he said determinedly.
“It’s okay‘ I consider you a friend, so you can ask anything!”
Ellinor fell silent
She didn’t remember agreeing to be friends.
Just then, the Howard family’s servant, Carios, rushed over looking relieved, “Mr. Howard! There you
are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”
Byran turned to Carlos impatiently. “What do you want?”
Carlos was about to speak when he noticed the wound on his master’s face. He swallowed his words,
looking terrified, “Mr. Howard, you… what happened to your face?
How did you get hurt?”
