Chapter 435
Ellinor nodded, “Yeah, thanks”
She, as usual, slowly climbed up the stairs to her room. Halfway up, she paused on the stairs, turning
around to ask, “Oh, by the way, Devin, did you receive the stuff I had sent over this morning?”
She had ordered the engagement gifts that she got from the Mendoza family to be sent back via local
express delivery. They should have arrived at the Blanchet villa by
ΠΟΥ
Devin said, “Got them, I’ve put them into the storage room for safe keeping Want to take a look,
Ellinor?!
Ellinor waved her hand lightly. “No need, just remember to tell Mr. Blanchet when he comes back.”
Devin replied, “Sure thing. Ellinor”
After giving her instructions, Ellinor continued to go upstairs.
The engagement gifts from the Blanchet family were quite valuable She needed to return them to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlanchet family, so she didn’t owe them anything.
Devin watched Ellinor’s retreating figure with a puzzled look. Something seemed off, but he couldn’t
quite put his finger on it.
Not being able to figure it out, Devin shrugged it off and went to instruct the kitchen staff to prepare a
light lunch for Ellinor.
Before Mr. Blanchet left, he specifically instructed them about Ellinor’s diet. Ellinor had allergies, so all
allergens must be completely avoided. Devin had to personally check the ingredients every day.
After returning to her room, Ellinor took a bath, changed into her home clothes, ate the lunch brought in
by the maid, and then went to bed.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant that she always felt very tired. Lying in bed, she finally felt
more relaxed. She had gotten used to sleeping on this big bed in Theo’s room recently and now she
felt somewhat reluctant to leave it.
Eventually, with her thoughts in a jumble, Ellinor drifted off to sleep.
Late at night, the weather turned cold and windy.
The wind woke up Devin, who immediately ordered the servants to check all the doors and windows to
ensure they were all closed properly. They couldn’t let dust or cold air blow in and disturb Ellinor’s
sleep.
Suddenly, a car’s headlights shone into the yard, and the sound of the engine got closer and closer.
Looking outside, it was Mr. Blanchet’s car! It was already past midnight. Why was Mr. Blanchet back at
this time?
A few minutes later, the man came in, looking travel-worn.
Devin had been waiting at the door, “Mr. Blanchet, you’re back!”
Theo took off his coat, which was chilly from the cold air outside, and handed it to a servant nearby.
“Mm, where is she?”
Devin naturally knew who Mr. Blanchet was asking about, “At this time, Ellinor should be sound
asleep.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo hummed lightly, bypassed the approaching servants, and headed straight upstairs.
After receiving Ellinor’s call during the day, he had been thinking about her. He couldn’t help but want to
rush back to see her.
Ellinor rarely admitted that she missed him. That simple “Yes” was like a hook in his heart, making him
itch with impatience.
Theo quickly climbed up the stairs, approaching her room, thinking she was asleep, he intentionally
lightened his steps.
He tested the doorknob, and to his surprise, the door wasn’t locked.
She didn’t lock the door when he was out?
Theo rubbed his forehead, finding it both amusing and exasperating. He opened the door and stepped
in quietly. The room was dark, the sky outside was cloudy and windy, there was no moonlight, and
everything was blurred.
“Ellinor, I’m back.”
He sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze falling on her usual sleeping spot, his voice low and soft.
However, there was no response.
Ellinor must have been in a deep sleep.
