The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

After hearing that, Adrian shed tears. “I didn’t expect Grace to still remember me. That accident wasn’t just a coincidence, because..” His voice suddenly choked up because he was the one who caused the accident 

“Adrian, what are you talking about?” 

“Ms. Zimmer, follow me.” 

Adrian led Allison to a residential building that was about to be demolished. 

Allison could not have imagined that Northfield still had places like this. The ground was covered with moss, making it very slippery to walk on. The air was filled with dense humidity, and overhead were countless power lines. The smell of laundry detergent permeated the air. 

Adrian lived here. He walked to a red iron gate, opened it, and said, “Come in, miss.” 

Adrian’s home was very simple. The living room only had a bed, a sofa, a table, and a few baskets on the floor. The air was filled with the musty smell of 

aging 

1 knew your mother a long time ago.” 

As Adrian spoke, he seemed to be lost in deep memories. 

“We met in middle school. She was beautiful, gentle, and academically excellent. She was the focus of the class, and almost everyone in the school liked her, including me. We were in the same class in middle school, high school, and all the way until college. Her grades were always better than mine. She went to a very good university, and I, not so good in studies, was driving cars. I often visited her during my breaks. She was even more beautiful in college and had more suitors, so I never dared to fantasize. Later, she got a boyfriend, a very handsome guy. I was happy for her.” 

Adrian looked at Allison, “That guy was Christopher.” 

Allison was surprised. 

Mr. Flanagan was my mother’s boyfriend in college? 

Seeing her reaction, Adrian realized that Grace hadn’t told her about it. 

*Back then, Christopher and Grace were the perfect couple. When she got a boyfriend, I stopped bothering her. Many years later, I became friends with many people because of my driving. One of them delivered goods to Christopher’s company. One day, I went with him and saw Christopher and Leah together They looked very intimate. I asked around and found out they were married. Didn’t your mother tell you that she and Leah are cousins?” 

Allison’s mind was in chaos. 

My mother and Leah are cousins? 

“Back then, I held a little hope. If Grace wasn’t married or with Christopher, I might have still had a chance. I searched everywhere for her. After asking around, I finally found out Grace was the housekeeper of the Flanagan family and had already married. Her husband was a driver for the Flanagan family and also Connor Flanagan’s adoptive son. I thought to myself, maybe there really was no fate between your mother and me. I just hoped she could have a better life. Christopher should have been your mother’s boyfriend, but he ended up with Leah. That was a betrayal, he was a despicable man, so I’ve always looked down on him” 

Allison lowered her head and fell into deep thought. 

In the Flanagan family, Leah had always been finding ways to trouble them. So, this was the reason. 

Biting her lip, Allison asked, “Adrian, what happened next?” 

Chapter 763 

Jonah looked puzzled, 1 just find it really weird. Balfour is usually so cocky, he’s not the type to back down easily Something’s off. You don’t think Balfour is trying to help Patricia by stealing Ellinor from Theo, do you?” 

Kemp retorted, “You should really consider script writing, ya know?” 

Jonah lost interest, “Alright then! I’m done discussing this with you! We’re clearly not on the same page.” 

Belinda finished replying to all her friends‘ comments. Getting complimented on her photography skills left her flabbergasted and even a tad bit eager to 

show off. 

So, she turned on her phone’s selfie mode, pulled Ellinor in close, and said, “Ellinor, come on! Let’s take a selfie. I’m gonna post these on social media later.” 

Ellinor managed a strained smile, going along with Belinda’s antics and flashing a smile at the camera. 

After snapping a picture, Belinda wasn’t satisfied with what she saw on her phone, “Ugh? The front–facing camera just doesn’t cut it. The rear camera takes way clearer pictures. Ellinor, let’s take another one.” 

Before Ellinor could refuse, she was pulled back in for another shot. 

After looking at the picture, Belinda still wasn’t pleased. This one, taken with the rear camera, was all wrong angle–wise. They were both smack dab in the center of the frame. 

“Ugh! It’s so hard to find the right angle with the rear camera.” 

Ellinor was about to suggest they stop taking pictures, but Bartlett interrupted, “I can take the picture for you two.” 

Before Ellinor could refuse, Belinda handed her phone to him, “Thanks Bartlett, make sure we look good in the picture.” 

Bartlett chuckled. He set Belinda’s phone aside, took out his own phone from his suit pocket, and said, “Let’s use my phone; it has a better camera” 

Ellinor didn’t want her pictures to be on Bartlett’s phone, but before she could say anything, Belinda had already agreed. 

“Sure thing! Just send them to me when you’re done.” 

Ellinor was at a loss for words. 

Bartlett rose and aimed his phone at the two of them, adjusting the focus, “Ready? Look at the camera.” 

With no choice but to go along with it, Ellinor forced a smile at the camera. 

Bartlett took a bunch of pictures, gave a thumbs up, and said, “Alright! We’re done!” 

Belinda couldn’t wait to see the pictures on Bartlett’s phone, “Bartlett, your phone’s camera is amazing! The pictures are so clear, you can even see the 

detail in our hair.” 

She continued to flip through the pictures until she found one that looked rather funny. 

In the picture, Balfour somehow squeezed in next to Ellinor from the other side of the frame. 

Belinda burst out laughing, “Haha! Ellinor, look at this! This one is hilarious. Balfour looks just like my dog with his head tilted. Haha!” 

Balfour fell silent. 

Ellinor wasn’t interested in the pictures at first, but she took a look at the picture Belinda was laughing at and gave a small chuckle, “Yeah, you’re not wrong! You’re absolutely right!” 

Balfour stayed silent. 

After Bartlett got his phone back, he received a private message from Balfour. “Send me the pictures.” 

Bartlett was a bit surprised but replied with a smile, “Which one do you want?” 

Balfour replied, “What do you think?” 

Ding! 

Bartlett sent the picture of Balfour with his head tilted. Balfour saved it immediately. 

Even though he looked a bit awkward in the picture, it was the first picture he took with his sister after many years. He had to keep it safe. 

Chapter 764 

Balfour was totally engrossed in the photos. 

“Bartlett, were you guys taking pictures just now?” 

Patricia’s voice suddenly came from behind Bartlett. Her voice was gentle and curious. 

Bartlett was sitting on a single sofa, looking at the pictures he had just taken. Patricia had come downstairs and happened to walk behind him, seeing the photos on his phone. 

Turning his head to her, Bartlett smiled, “Oh, it’s you, Patricia! Yeah, we were taking pictures. Wanna join us for a group shot?” 

Patricia shook her head, “No, I didn’t put on any makeup today. I won’t look good in the pictures.” 

Bartlett politely responded, “Nonsense, Patricia. You look great without makeup.” 

Belinda looked at Patricia, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and muttered, “Yeah right, ‘no makeup. As if we can’t tell her face is refined.”
