Since bringing up Baber didnât work, Veronica became stubborn and clutched onto Ellinorâs arm tightly.
âNo way! I wonât let you leave!â
Ellinorâs patience was wearing thin. âLet go of me; donât make me get physical.â
Even though pregnancy made moving difficult for her, she was more than capable of handling a pampered girl like Veronica.
Veronica put on a defiant face. âGo ahead, hit me! Even if you kill me, I wonât let you go!â
Ellinor looked at her and felt a bit reluctant to hurt her. âDoes every member of the Blanchet family have issues? What do you guys take me for?â
At this moment, Belinda and her boyfriend arrived.
Veronicaâs rogue behavior made Belinda let out a helpless sigh. She anxiously said, âVeronica is trying to keep you. Maybe you should go back and talk to Theo again. I think there might be some misunderstanding between you two.â
Ellinor glanced at Belinda, then skillfully pushed Veronica towards Belinda. âTake her back to her brother! I donât have time to deal with the Blanchet family!â
A bright pink Palamera pulled up to the curb. Ellinor walked around to the passenger side and got in.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Chaseâs relaxed, smiling face. His gaze landed on Belinda and said, âDonât worry, Iâll take good care of her!â
Belindaâs heart skipped a beat after seeing Chase, and then she nodded awkwardly. âUm, please take good care of her.â
Chase glanced at Jacob, who was standing next to Belinda, and thought for a moment. âIf youâre worried, why donât you come with me to accompany her?â
Belinda was taken aback. Ellinor must be under a lot of pressure right now. If she went with her, maybe she could help resolve the issue between Ellinor and Theo.
After a momentâs consideration, Belinda turned to her boyfriend. âJacob, go back to the office. Iâm going to accompany Mr. Larios to take Ellinor home.â
Jacob was reluctant, but Mr. Larios was his boss. What could he do?
Belinda got in the car with Chase, and Veronica quickly followed. âWait, Iâm coming with you!â
However, Chase had already locked the car door. Veronica couldnât open the door, no matter how hard she tried, so she threw a tantrum. âWhat are you doing? Open the door! Did you hear me?â
Ignoring Veronica, Chase looked up at Jacob, who was standing there dumbfounded. âJacob, help me move Veronica aside; she canât interfere with me driving.â
Jacob snapped out of it.
âOkay, Mr. Larios! Veronica, you canât stand so close to the car. Itâs going to move; itâs dangerous!â
Veronica was uncooperative. âAh! Get away from me! Donât touch me!â
After Jacob forcefully pulled Veronica aside, Chase stepped on the gas and drove off.
Veronica was furious, and she kicked Chaseâs car hard, causing her shoe to fly off. He was so annoying!
In the car.
Ellinor wa ung quietly in the passenger seat with her eyes closed.
Beda leaned forward from the back seat. âAuntie, my uncleâ¦â
E didnât open her eyes and responded. âIf you call me Auntie one more time, Iâm throwing you out of the car.â
linda had never seen this side of Ellinor, she was so scared that she didnât even dare breathe loudly.
After seeing Belindaâs scared face in the rear-view mirror, Chase couldnât help but want to laugh.
