Chapter 1275
ida nodded. âUnless something unexpected happens, that should be the case.â
Ellinor immediately perked up. âWhat about the invitation?â
Belinda snapped back to reality and quickly went out to fetch the invitation. âHere you go! The
invitations right here.â
Ida had already expected this outcome, so she wasn't surprised. âBoss, I'll go book a suitable outfit
for you now.â
Ellinor nodded in agreement.
Ida got up to arrange for her boss's outfit. The banquet was the day after tomorrow. If she didn't
hurry, they might run out of time.
After Ida left, Belinda curiously approached Ellinor. âAuntie, why did you suddenly change your
mind?â
Ellinor gave her a stern look. âWhat did you call me?â
Belinda quickly corrected herself. âEllinor... Why did you suddenly change your mind? Who's Lady
Lotus? Do you really like her paintings?â
âAre you asking all these questions to report back to your uncle?â
Belinda looked a bit guilty and awkwardly laughed. âNo! I'm just curious as to why you suddenly
changed your mind. Just now, you seemed uninterested.â
Ellinor gave her a small smile. âArenât people known to be fickle? Alright, you should head home
too. Stop hanging around here!â
"Oh..." Belinda didnât ask anything else and left the room feeling disappointed. She thought for a
moment and secretly sent a message to her uncle. âTheo! Ellinor seems to really like the paintings
by an artist named Lady Lotus! It's your time to shine!â
However, she didn't receive a reply from Theo.
Ellinor changed into the outfit that Ida had urgently custom-made for her at home and put on some
light makeup.
She was pregnant now, so she had put on some weight, and squeezing into this outfit was a bit
uncomfortable. But if she dressed too casually for the banquet, it might draw unnecessary
attention.
She could only try to blend in as much as possible.
The outfit was made of light pink silk, which complemented her skin tone and looked adorable on
her round figure. She didn't bother with a fancy hairstyle, simply tying her hair into a bun.
As she descended the stairs, two cars were waiting for her.
One was sent by Ida to take her to the banquet.
The other was the Blanchet familyâs car, driven by Collin.
Without thinking too much about it, Ellinor started walking towards the car sent by Ida, but Collin
stopped her.
âEllinor, please get in my car. Mr. Blanchet asked me to pick you up.â
Ellinor frowned. âWhy should I get in the car arranged by Mr. Blanchet? We're all going to the same
place. What's the difference if I ride in his car?â
Collin explained. âMr. Blanchet doesn't feel comfortable with you riding in someone else's car. I'm a
steady driver, and you're pregnant now, so we need to be extra careful.â
