She had seen crazy men, but never one as crazy as Bartlett.
Ellinor looked at him helplessly, âDonât overthink it! I have no plans to have more kids, nor am I looking for a daddy for my unborn child.â
Bartlett pretended to be upset, âEllinor, helping you escape from the Blanchet family is a big risk for me, and you promised to date me for a month once we succeeded.â
Ellinor said, âDonât worry, I didnât forget. We can date, but donât expect anything more. I am not in the mood for it.â
Bartlett looked deeply at her as he reached out to touch her, but Ellinor dodged it in a flash.
Bartlett swiped the air with his hand, and after a moment of hanging in the air, he pulled it back with a smile.
âItâs okay, you just got hurt by Theo. Iâll give you time. One day, youâll accept me.â
Ellinor didnât have the energy to think about it. âAlright, Bartlett, thank you for your help today. I will stay here for a few days, as you suggested. You can go back to your work now.â
Bartlett chuckled helplessly, âEllinor, you really know how to discard a used tool.â
Ellinor chuckled, âI havenât finished using you yet, so I wonât discard you for now.â
Bartlett fell silent.
As if she remembered something, Ellinor suddenly reminded him. âBy the way, you canât tell Balfour about me being here.â
Bartlett nodded cautiously, âI know, but he will be really worried about you.â
Ellinor was silent for a few seconds. âWhether he worries about me or not is not important. The fewer people who know about this, the better. I donât want unnecessary trouble.â
Bartlett gave her an OK sign, then was hurriedly pushed out the door by Ellinor, who quickly locked it.
Bartlett couldnât believe that this woman really had the nerve to kick him out!
It was not that Ellinor was rude, but she knew that every second Bartlett, that devil, stayed, he would bother her. He had no idea how to restrain himself!
Also, it wasnât appropriate for them to be alone together.
= 2 2 5 After kicking Bartlett out, Ellinor sat back on the sofa alone. Only then did her exhaustion and tension completely vanish, and her mood settled. However, she now felt an indescribable emptiness.
Theo should know that she was gone by now, right?
The Blanchet Villa.
Putnam Blanchet, sitting in a wheelchair, was watering a plant he had painstakingly nurtured when he heard a flurry of noise from outside.
Then a bodyguard pushed in Marissa, who was also in a wheelchair, with Veronica, who was holding Baber, following.
The servants rushed over in a panic to attend to them.
Seeing this, Putnam frowned, âWhat happened? She was fine when she left, why is she in a wheelchair now? What happened?â
After entrusting the weeping and helpless Baber to a maid, Veronica went to explain to her grandfather.
âGrandpa, Ellinor has gone missing. Grandma fainted from the anxiety. But donât worry too much; weâve taken Grandma to the hospital. The doctor said she was fine, just weak from the stress. Sheâll recover after some rest.â
Putnam Blanchetâs eyes widened. âWhat? Ellinorâs missing? What the hell is going on? How could she just disappear?â
