Ellinor had planned to say goodbye to Karan in the main hall but feared she might interrupt her meditation. After some thought, Ellinor decided to leave the monastery While stepping out of the monastery, Ellinor spotted Collin by the car on the phone. He spoke into the device with the utmost respect, âYes, siri I understand, Iâll make sure Ellinor is safe and sound!â
Ellinor frowned. It seemed like Collin had reported all her actions to that man.
However, that man hadnât called her or even sent a single text.
It was quite thoughtâprovoking.
And that man used to be pretty jealous, but after learning that she was with Bartlett, he didnât even call to question her?
Maybe this meant that he was really losing interest in her. Didnât he care about her anymore?
He probably had Collin protecting her just because of the baby in her belly, nothing more!
Without a word, Ellinor got into the car.
Bartlett rushed out and hopped in the car with her.
âEllinor, why didnât you wait for me?â
Ellinor shot him a cold look, âWait for you? Youâre too busy living it up to show up, and you blame me for not waiting?â
Bartlett was quite riled up, âI was discussing donations with Chloe, and I asked her for an account number! I had no idea youâd leave now!â
Ellinor frowned, âWhy are you donating to this monastery? Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?â
Bartlett looked innocent, âIs it wrong to donate? I see the nuns here struggling, and I want to improve their lives! Itâs charity, itâs contributing to the world!â Ellinor snorted, âYou really think your moneyâs gonna be used for the monastery? Iâve donated so much over the years, and Iâve seen no improvement here!â
Bartlett was slightly taken aback, âAre you suggesting that Chloe would embezzle the funds?â
Ellinor smirked, âI didnât say that! If you want to donate, go ahead. It has nothing to do with me!â
Bartlett shrugged, âAlright! Iâll donate less. This place did raise you, after all. So the people here are your benefactors. Even if the money ends up in Chloeâs hands, consider it repayment for her care over the years.â
Ellinor frowned deeply, âWhat does it have to do with you if this place raised me? Bartlett, arenât you being a bit nosy?â
Bartlett shrugged nonchalantly, âMaybe? If thatâs how you see it, I canât help it!â
Ellinor rolled her eyes, âIf thatâs what you think, I suggest you keep your money! Because Chloe never took care of me, sheâs not my benefactor! The only one whoâs been good to me is Karan! Mr. Rex, no matter how much money you have, it sure as hell didnât grow on trees. Save it for your wedding!â
