Chapter 560
“Mom, you know Theo’s been having a rough month! After weeks of searching, we finally found Ellinor. We can’t let him down and we can’t let Ellinor slip through our fingers because of our carelessness Poor Theol
Mrs. Wesley gave a resigned yet gentle smile, “Alright, enough! I know you’re worried about Theo; I’ll take good care of Ellinor.”
Belinda grinned in satisfaction, “That’s more like it!”
Suddenly, she heard a car in the yard and excitedly released her mother’s hand, “Mom! They must be here, you go to the kitchen and whip up some dishes; I’ll go out to welcome them!”
With that, Belinda darted out.
Mrs. Wesley just chuckled and shook her head before returning to the kitchen to help with the dinner preparations
By the time Belinda reached the yard, Theo had already stepped out of the car.
Theo, you’re here! The food is great today!” Belinda cheerfully greeted.
Theo gave her a cold glance and made his way into the house.
Belinda didn’t catch on to any awkwardness since Theo was always this indifferent.
She didn’t follow Theo back inside; instead, she ran to the car and opened the door in search of someone.
As she opened the car door, she grumbled, “Theo, seriously! How could he not wait for Ellinor and just go inside? Hmph, is he not afraid Ellinor would leave him again?”
“Ellinor, I’m here to greet you!”
But to her surprise, the person she was expecting was not in the car.
“Where’s Ellinor?”
Belinda leaned into the car and saw that the back seat was empty. She then turned to the front seat, only to see the driver and Collin.
Both the driver and Collin turned around with surprised expressions.
“Ms. Wesley, who are you looking for?” Collin asked.
I’m looking for Ellinor! Didn’t she come with Theo?” Belinda replied.
Collin’s expression darkened, and he carefully advised, “Ms. Wesley, I’d suggest not to mention Ellinor in front of Mr. Blanchet.”
Belinda furrowed her brows, feeling that things were not as expected, “What’s going on? Did Theo and Ellinor not make up?”
Collin regretfully shook his head.
“So, don’t bring up Ms. Mendoza in front of Mr. Blanchet; it might upset him.”
Belinda was puzzled. She wanted to ask Theo, but she knew Theo was a man of few words and might not tell her. So she hopped into the car and started grilling Collin.
“What happened? We’ve found her; why isn’t everything going as planned? Did Theo still play hard to get in front of Ellinor? Didn’t he try to coax his runaway wife back home?”
Collin frowned, “It’s not Mr. Blanchet’s fault.”
Belinda was even more confused, “Not Theo’s fault? So it’s Ellinor’s then? What could be the problem with such a nice person?”
Collin knew it wasn’t his place to discuss Mr. Blanchet’s affairs, but he feared if he didn’t, Ms. Wesley, being a bit of a scatterbrain, might keep bringing up Ms. Mendoza in front of Mr. Blanchet, which could potentially infuriate him.
