Ida Gipson was busy taking the milk cup from Ellinor Mendoza, setting it aside, then handing her a tissue and gently patting her back.
After coughing Ellinor finally calmed down, âIda, youâre right, Iâm not feeling great todayâ
Ida nodded, asking. âHmm, whatâs got you down?â
Fire flashed in Ellinorâs eyes. âBecause of that manâs behavior, I just canât wrap my head around it. Out of the blue, he wanted me to witness his reunion with that woman. Regardless of the actual situation, at least in everyoneâs eyes, Iâm still has wife, wouldnât I be embarrassed by his actions?â
Ida grimaced, yeah, thatâs a bit over the line.â
Ellinor frowned, saying âMaybe he wanted me to know his old flame is back or remind me to be careful not to give her the wrong impression. But he couldâve spoken to me privately, I didnât need to be there in person!â
Ida nodded in agreement. âYeah, he wasnât exactly playing fair!â
Ellinor slumped back onto the couch, âSo Iâm just stuck wondering, how am I supposed to handle our relationship in the remaining month or so!â
âOh, so thatâs whatâs going on!â Ida smiled, âThen letâs just not go back, let them enjoy their lives, we donât need to bother with them!â
â
The part that irked Ellinor the most was, âNo way, we agreed on a threeâmonth collaboration, itâs only halfway through; I canât break the agreement. Plus, that man isnât exactly easy to shake off. If I leave halfway, heâll definitely track me down, which would be an even bigger headache.
âAre you planning on going back tomorrow, then?â
âYes, with a month and a half left, I have to stick it out!â
Ida got up, walked behind the couch, and gave her a sympathetic shoulder rub, âAh, youâre having a tough time.â
Ellinor was pouting, feeling like she was in a tough situation that was even more exhausting than working on a construction site. Since joining the Blanchel family, she hasnât had a momentâs peace!
After a moment, Ida asked, âBut⦠has anything happened between you and that man?â
Ellinorâs face was still a bit flushed from the intense coughingâ¦
Though reluctant to admit it, she was honest, there was, onceâ
*Did you guys use protection?â Ida asked with a frown, she was just being cautious, but it really happened?
Protection? Ellinor was taken aback, then muttered, â right?â
no, it was too sudden that day⦠I wasnât thinking straight; I canât be that unlucky to get pregnant after one time, Ida cautioned seriously. âItâs hard to be sure about these things, if you donât want any ties with Mr.
Blanchet, you should be careful in the future.â
Ellinorâs eyes grew cold, âThat was a oneâtime thing, there wonât be a next time.â
Idaâs face flashed with worry. âThen.. do you like Mr. Blanchet?â
Ellinor chuckled. âWhatâs there to like about him? His temper? Or his bullying behavior?â
Ida found Ellinorâs prideful demeanor quite adorable, she smiled, âI mean, do you find Mr. Blanchet attractive?â
Ellinor shrugged it off, âHe is attractive, it doesnât matter whether I think so or not! He has good genes, is handsome, has a fit body, and is attractive. Thatâs just who he is, it has nothing to do with my feelings. Donât you find him attractive?â
ida cleared her throat, âOf course, I think heâs quite good!â
Ellinor suddenly turned to Ida, âSince when did you start to like mature men? I remember you always going for young and handsome boys!â
Ida adjusted her glasses, smiling. Iâm not picky, I donât have just one type!â
Watching Idaâs flippant demeanor, Ellinor couldnât help but feel sorry for all the boys who were toyed with and then discarded by her, she shook her head.
âIda, youâre not a kid anymore, you should be more responsible! You canât treat relationships like a game; you should take it more seriously!â
