Chapter 1409
Upon hearing that the visitor wasn't Theo, Ellinor's eyes dimmed a bit. âAlright, take her to the living
room and tell her to wait for me. Let the kitchen know to prepare another lunch. Our guest might
stay for a meal.â
âVery well, Ms. Mendoza.â The servant bowed respectfully before turning to execute the order.
Ellinor, along with Baber, headed back/inside to meet Belinda Wesley.
The moment she stepped into the living room, Belinda, lugging along a large suitcase, greeted her.
"Hey, Auntie!â
Ellinor glanced at the suitcase at her feet and then at Belinda. âWhat's all this? Are you moving or
something?â
Belinda shook her head. âNah, it's baby stuff I got for you. Aren't you about to pop?â
Ellinor smiled faintly at the suitcase. âI've got everything I need already. I'm all set and ready. That
suitcase is massive. The hospital probably won't have space for it. If you can return it, you probably
should.â
She had already stocked up on all the baby essentials, and Balfour had also showered her with gifts.
Pouting, Belinda said, âActually, only the suitcase is from me. The stuff inside is all handpicked by my
uncle himself."
Ellinor was taken aback. âWhen did he find the time to shop?â
Belinda looked excited. âAfter he found you, during the days you were giving him the cold shoulder,
he dragged me along to a few baby stores. He picked out only the best stuff. But because of what
happened with Sophia, he thought you might not want his gifts, so he stashed them at my place
first. He planned to give them to you when you're about to deliver, so you couldn't toss it out ahead
of time.â
Ellinor felt a touch of warmth in her heart and nodded slightly. âAlright, I'll keep it.â
Belinda beamed with satisfaction after hearing that Ellinor accepted the gifts. âYou wanted me to
return it when you thought I bought it, but decided to keep it when you learned that my uncle was
the one who bought it. Auntie, you really do like my uncle.â
Ellinor's cheeks flushed. She had made up her mind to reconcile with Theo, so there was no point in
pretending anymore. âYes! I have a love-hate relationship with your uncle.â
Belinda gave her a puzzled look. âWhat do you mean by love-hate?â
Ellinor shrugged. âYou know. When heâs not exactly your dream man, and some of his traits like his
temper and actions can sometimes get on your nerves but you still choose to accept him.â
Belinda pondered for a moment and then asked, âSo, Uncle is not your dream man? What's your
ideal type then?â
Feeling a bit tired while standing, Ellinor sat down on the couch with Baber. âI used to be drawn to
more gentle men. Not the dominant ones.â
Belinda sat next to her. âMy uncle is not the gentle type you described. He's more like a big bad
wolf, and a dominant one at that. He really is far from your ideal type.â
Ellinor shrugged helplessly. âWell, we already have a child together, so I have no choice but to live
with him.â
Belinda chuckled, knowing that when Ellinor said âlive with him,â it wasn't just in the literal sense.
Suddenly, she noticed something moving in Ellinor's belly. Out of curiosity, she lightly placed her
hand on Ellinor's belly and felt the baby move.
