Ida shrugged nonchalantly, her quirks didnât matter, and she didnât want Ellinor to fuss over her Ignoring the previous conversation, she said. âSpeaking of Ellinor, Chase Larios is quite a looker Standing 1.8 meters tall, he has a handsome face, a well proportioned body, and a noticeable sixâ
pack. Do you find him sexy?â
Ellinor fell silent Not at all!
In her eyes, Chase was still the same goofball he was when they were children, despite now being a heartthrob that could make many girls swoon With a meaningful smile, Ida patted Ellinorâs shoulder, âEllinor, thatâs the difference. Not every good looking guy will seem sexy to you. The key is you have to be attracted to him.â
What did Ida mean by that?
Was she suggesting that Ellinor was attracted to Theo?
Ellinor frowned in displeasure, âThatâs because Chase is prettier than a girl, heâs not my type!â
Ida nodded, âYeah, heâs not my cup of tea either!â
Just then, the door was pushed open A dashing Chase walked in, âDid you send me out to get snacks just so you could badmouth me?â
Ida adjusted her goldârimmed glasses, âWe were talking about your fit body. Is that considered badâ
mouthing?â
Chase dumped the snacks on the table and took off his jacket to show off his muscles, âI work out two hours every day and nourish my body with highâquality protein powder. Go ahead, feel these muscles!â
Ida retorted coldly. âKeep away! Donât disgust Ellinor and me!â
While Chase continued to show off, Ellinor pondered, stroking her chin, âIda, you made a good point earlier. Iâve only been with one man, and maybe Iâve mistaken a decent experience for something more. Perhaps, I should try out a few more to determine my preferences.â
With that, she stood up, reached out, and felt Chaseâs abs through his shirtâ¦
Looking confident and smug. Chase asked, âWhat do you think, Ellinor? Am I sexy or what?â
Ellinor retracted her hand indifferently and shook her head, âReally, Iâd rather not touch a guy Iâm not attracted to.â
Chaseâs smile froze, âEllinor, are you insulting me?â
Ida patted his shoulder, âDonât doubt it, sheâs insulting you!â
Chase huffed, âYouâre all mean girls. You like to bully me!
They finished their lateânight snacks amidst laughter and banter, then went to their own rooms to sleep.
Ellinor had a restless night, probably from overeating.
Surprisingly, she got up early the following day and made the cake she had promised Chase.
She left some for Chase and Ida and packed some to take away.
She took a cab back to the Blanchet family.
Today, the door wasnât opened by Devin or a maid but by a girl in a silk slip dress. The girl, barefoot, had run down to open the door.
The girl looked like she had just woken up, her sleepy eyes blinking slowly at Ellinor, head tilted in question, âWho are you?â
Ellinor recognized the girl was Patricia
