Chapter 1120
Ellinor felt a bit helpless about the insecure kid. To get him to sleep as soon as possible, she
reassured him, âDonât worry, I'll be right here. You can sleep soundly. When you wake up in the
morning, we'll have breakfast together.â
"Okay..." Baber agreed, slowly closing his eyes and before drifting off to sleep quietly.
The next morning came too soon.
Just as Ellinor had promised Baber the night before, after waking up and freshening up, she led him
downstairs for breakfast.
Baber had just arrived at the Blanchet villa and was still feeling a bit out of place. Even though the
Blanchet familyâs elders all loved children, he still felt scared and only wanted to be with Ellinor.
After breakfast, Ellinor and Baber had some counseling sessions, and then she handed him over to
Veronica to look after. She had some stuff to do and needed to go to the company to discuss some
matters with Chase and Ida.
However, when she opened the door, she found the entrance blocked by Collin and a bunch of
bodyguards.
Collin bowed his head respectfully, and said, âGood morning, Ellinor.â
Ellinor frowned confusingly, âWhy are you here? Shouldn't you be at work?â
Collin replied, âI am at work. Mr. Blanchet arranged for us to be here.â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow unhappily, âWhat's he got you guys doing here? Where is he?â
Collin answered, âMr. Blanchet flew to M State last night. He arranged for us to be here around the
clock to ensure your safety before he left.â
Ellinor thought, âHe flew to M State overnight?
Didn't he ever get tired?
Was he going to see his legitimate wife over there?
Ha! Ellinor sneered, âThanks for the concern, but I don't need this kind of protection. You guys can
go do whatever you're supposed to be doing; there's no need to hover around me.â
With that, she tried to walk through the crowd of bodyguards at the door, but they didn't give way.
Ellinor's face darkened, âWhat's going on?â
Collin stepped forward to explain, âMr. Blanchet said that until the child is born, you can't leave this
house; you canât go anywhere.â
Ellinor furrowed her brow, âI'm a free person. Why can't I go anywhere? Move out of my way!"
The bodyguards at the door didnât budge, blocking her path.
Collin respectfully tried to appease her, âEllinor, Mr. Blanchet is doing this for your own good.
Although you can't go out, you can invite anyone you want to see here. That's allowed.â
Ellinor gave a huff, âWhat if I insist on going out?â
Collin bowed apologetically, âYou can't go out.â
Ellinor hated being threatened. Her face cooled, âIs that so?â
At that point, Marissa came over, her face full of smiles, and said âEllinor, donât be upset. Theo is
doing all this for your own good. For the next while, you just need to stay home and focus on
getting ready for the baby. Whatever you want to eat, just let me know. You can also invite your
friends over. I'll have the kitchen prepare some good food for you.â
Ellinor looked at her respected Marissa, her heart filled with confusion and unease.
She originally thought Marissa would have her best interests at heart, but it seemed that Marissa
was still siding with her own grandson.
It looked like the Blanchet family was intent on limiting her freedom.
Ellinor didn't say anything, turned around, went back to her room, walked out onto the balcony, and
looked down.
Not only was there a bodyguard at the door, but also outside the main gate, and every certain
distance along the wall, there were bodyguards standing guard. It seemed like there was no way she
could leave.
