Chapter 528
About 40 days ago, Theo told her he was going on a business trip for half a month, but in reality, he was off taking care of a child with Patricia.
Every day, the guy would make time to video chat with her, asking if she’d eaten, if she’d slept, and if she missed him. Turned out he was living with another woman
the whole time.
Ellinor felt like something was choking her throat, and it made her feel utterly nauseous.
Her nausea before was physical, now it was emotional.
She was disgusted with herself for buying into his sweet nothings, waiting for him to come back like a fool, and even considering spending the rest of her life with
him
What was even more disgusting was that the man didn’t even blink when spouting those sweet nothings.
Her world collapsed in that moment, but Ellinor kept her face calm.
Oh well, who hadn’t done something stupid for love?
It was all in the past.
Adjusting her mood, Ellinor gave a slight smile. “Congratulations to you guys.”
Patricia proudly rubbed her belly, her face full of happiness, “Ellinor, you should know that the child in my belly is the only one Mr. Blanchet will recognize, and your child, even if born, will only be a bastard. Don’t you think it’s pitiful to let your child bear the name of a bastard from birth?”
Ellinor just laughed, “Ms. Howard, you’re expecting your second child, yet you still haven’t married into the Blanchet family, now that’s what I call pitiful.”
“You!” Patricia’s momentary triumph was shot down, making her so angry that her face contorted.
She thought Ellinor would be downcast after seeing the pregnancy test, but she didn’t react at all and even laughed happily.
“Ellinor, we’ll see!” Patricia admitted defeat, spat out a spiteful sentence, and left.
Ellinor snorted, not taking her words seriously at all.
Patricia was the kind of woman who lived for a man and was always on guard against everyone else just to hold onto a man’s heart.
She was such a boring woman!
Ellinor’s nausea hadn’t faded, so she went to the bathroom again, rinsed her mouth, washed her face, and then came out of the ladies‘ room.
As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw a tall man leaning against the wall in the hallway, smoking.
That man was Theo.
He was smoking again. Would he die if he didn’t smoke?
Ellinor ignored him and walked past him, planning to go back and eat.
“Whose child?” His deep voice, carrying a hint of tobacco, echoed through the hall.
Ellinor stopped, looked at him, and calmly asked, “Hmm? Mr. Blanchet, were you talking to me?”
Theo coldly stared at her and asked, “Is there a third person here?
Ellinor looked around and replied, “Nope! So, Mr. Blanchet, you were just asking me about someone?”
“Are you playing dumb?”
“Mr. Blanchet, you don’t think I’m pregnant too, do you? Your friend, Ms. Howard, just asked me the same question!”
Theo stared into her sly eyes, his gaze filled with a sternness that allowed no room for error, “Are you sure you’re not pregnant?”
