Chapter 27
After an intimate moment, Ellinor instantly pushed Theo away
With a heart full of joy, she took the painting from Collin, tucked it under her arm, and walked away. After a few steps, she turned back, winked, and gave Theo a thumbs up, ‘Mr. Blanchet, thank you! You’re looking sharp today!”
Theo gazed at her meaningfully.
So, she only thought he was handsome when she got gifts?
Watching Ellinor trot happily into the yard, Collin couldn’t help but smile, “Mr. Blanchel, Ms. Mendoza is quite endearing, isn’t she?”
Theo shot Collin a cold look, “Are you still staring?”
Startled, Collin looked away. “Mr. Blanchet, where are you headed next?” novelbin
“Work.” Theo said.
“Right!” Collin said.
The next day.
While enjoying a nutritious lunch prepared by Marissa, Ellinor received a call from Belinda.
“Ellinor!” Belinda said.
Ellinor didn’t have Belinda’s number, but she recognized her voice, “How did you get my number?”
“I asked Theo for it!” Belinda said.
Ellinor was even more confused, “How does he have my number?”
“He’s your husband. Is it strange that he has your number?” Belinda asked.
“Hmm, fair point!” Ellinor said.
“What are you doing? If you’re free, come have a drink with me!” Belinda said.
Ellinor frowned, “Why do you want to drink?”
Belinda’s voice was tinged with a reckless drunkenness, “I’m a broken–hearted Woman I need to vent! Come find me. I’m bored alone!”
Just as she hung up, she received a text from Belinda with the address of a bar.
Marissa walked out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, “Ellinor, who was that? They want you to go drinking? You’re trying to get pregnant, you can’t drink!”
Ellinor obediently replied, “Marissa, I won’t drink. It’s Belinda. She’s upset and drinking alone. I’m going to pick her up.” Marissa put down the soup, looking somewhat shocked, “Belinda? Has Mr. Blanchet introduced you to the Wesley family yet?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yes, why, Marissa?”
Marissa smiled kindly. “Oh, nothing. Bars can be dangerous. I’ll have the driver take you to pick up Belinda.”
“Okay!” Ellinor found it strange. The Blanchet and Wesley families were in–laws, but they didn’t seem to interact much.
The Blanchet family wasn’t invited to Belinda’s wedding yesterday, and it seemed like no one from the Wesley family attended her and Theo’s sham wedding.
Never mind, she thought. The Blanchet family’s affairs were none of her business.
Twilight Bar.
The bar was noisy and rowdy. In the flickering lights, Ellinor spotted Belinda.
Overnight, Belinda had dyed her hair pink and was dancing wildly in the club. Was this what a broken– hearted woman supposed to be? “Dear Ellinor! You’re here! Let’s have fun together!” Upon seeing her, Belinda ran over, hugged her, and tried to drag her to the dance floor.
But Ellinor didn’t want to dance, “Let’s go! I’ll take you home!”
Belinda pouted, “I don’t want to go home, it’s boring!”
It took some effort for Ellinor to get her to sit down and rest for a while. Then she ordered a juice.
But Belinda didn’t like juice. She downed a glass of alcohol instead, “Ellinor, I have great news for you. Connor’s hand is injured!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “What happened?”
Belinda gave a bitter smile, her expression complicated, “I heard he was attacked on his way home last night. Both his hands were
Injured and even if they heal, he won’t be able to use them like before. His life is ruined!”
Ellinor was slightly puzzled.
Suddenly, Belinda frowned, pointed upstairs and shrieked, “Ellinor, look! Isn’t that your husband? And there’s a woman with him! Geez! I didn’t think he’d cheat too! All men are the same! Let’s go expose them!”
