Chapter 1209
Ellinor nodded. âYeah, I'm planning to go home and prepare for the baby. Bartlett, I put your phone
in your room's drawer and turned it off for you. You can check if there were any missed calls. Thanks
for taking care of me all this while.â
After that, she, Chase, and Ida started to leave.
Bartlett had a hard time accepting her sudden departure. He blocked her way with a complicated
expression. âWe were still together yesterday. Why are you leaving now?â Ellinor felt helpless. âTheo
found out I'm here. If I continue to stay with you, it'll bring you a lot of trouble. So it's better for me
to go home.â
Theo found out? Bartlett was taken aback, and then he looked at her deeply. âEllinor, do you think
I'm afraid of trouble? If I were, I wouldn't have agreed to help you in the first place.â
âI know you're not the type to shy away from problems, but now that heâs found out, there's no
point in me staying here in the suburbs. It's more convenient to go home and prepare for the baby.
We can think about the rest in the long run.â
Bartlett stayed silent for a few seconds and then nodded. âAlright, we'll stay in touch after you go
home."
Ellinor agreed. âOkay.â
Bartlett watched Ellinor get into Chase's car with squinted eyes. Theo had found her sooner than he
expected.
After a two-hour drive, they finally arrived back in the city.
Chase asked over his shoulder. âBoss, should we eat first or drop you off at home and then eat?â
"We can eat later. I need to go to the office and check the financial reports and other documents
from the past six months.â
She was now prepared for the worst. If Theo found her, he might take action against Crescent
Society. She needed to understand the companyâs situation and find a solution fast.
For the past six months, she had been avoiding Theo and taking care of her pregnancy, barely
managing the companyâs affairs. There was a lot she didn't know.
Crescent Society.
Belinda was sitting on the sofa in the waiting area downstairs while looking at her phone. She felt
some people passing by, looked up, and was stunned.
âEllinor!â She shouted in disbelief.
Ellinor stopped after hearing the shout.
Belinda ran over, overjoyed. âIt's really you! Do you know how hard my uncles been looking for
you? Where have you been these past six months? We've been so worried!â Ellinor looked at her
calmly but didnât answer her question. She looked at the place where she was sitting and raised an
eyebrow. âWhy are you sitting here during work hours?â Belinda was taken aback and then
explained. âOh, you might not know, but I don't work at Crescent Society anymore. It's almost
lunchtime, and I'm waiting for someone here.â
Ellinor didn't know that Belinda no longer worked at Crescent Society. âWho are you waiting for?â
As she asked, she glanced at Chase.
Chase just stood there quietly, looking at Belinda. Noticing Ellinor's glance, he shrugged innocently.
âBoss, don't look at me! She's not here for me!â
Belinda glanced at Chase calmly and said, âRight! I'm not here for him; I'm waiting for my boyfriend
to finish work so we can have lunch together. Ellinor, it's been a while; why don't you join us? I can
call my uncle over for a surprise!â
When did Belinda get a boyfriend? Ellinor realized she had missed out on some things and shook
her head. âNo need; I donât want to be a third wheel. You donât have to wait downstairs; you can
wait for your boyfriend upstairs with us.â
