Chapter1100
Baber was lifted off the ground by Theo, his eyes shining brightly, looking a bit dazed, “Ms. Mendoza? Is it Ms. Mendoza?”
Theo frowned, took a deep breath, and stopped talking, making Baber turn pale with his serious look.
With about a ten–year gap between the man and Ellinor, it made Theo and Ellinor seem more distant when Baber addressed her that way!
Seeing that, she quickly took Baber from him and asked, “What are you doing? You’ve scared the kid!”
Theo was expressionless, “He called you Ms. Mendoza, don’t you think there’s something wrong with that?”
Ellinor disdainfully glanced at the man, then gently stroked Baber’s head, comfortingly saying, “Ignore him! It’s okay, call me whatever you like, Ms. Mendoza or Mrs. Blanchet, either is fine.”
Only then did Baber relax a bit, obediently nodding his head and laying his head on Ellinor’s shoulder like a good little puppy.
Theo was still unhappy with the child’s address, but seeing Ellinor holding and comforting him so casually, his gaze softened, gently touching Ellinor’s face, “Ellinor, are you really willing to accept this child?”
Ellinor smiled, “Under the current circumstances, can I not accept? Although I have no experience as a stepmother, I’m a quick learner, so I will adapt soon. It’s better than leaving him with Xenia!”
Theo admired Ellinor and gently kissed her forehead, “Thank you.”
Whatfor?
Ellinor didn’t feel she had done anything worthy of thanks, but the gentle kiss on her forehead left her a bit dazed.
“Alright, I’m taking Baber out for breakfast now, you get dressed and join us!”
Having said that, Ellinor turned around with Baber in her arms, her expression calm and showing no emotion.
Theo watched Ellinor’s retreating figure, his eyes squinting. Did she seem not to like him getting close?
Stepping out of the room, Ellinor let out a sigh. She was almost bewitched by the man’s gentleness just then; she couldn’t just ignore what had just happened!
Baber blinked his bright eyes, his face full of curiosity and desire to learn, “Ms. Mendoza, Daddy likes you…right?”
Ms. Mendoza?
That’s one way to address her.
Ellinor looked awkwardly at Baber in her arms and asked, “Do you know what ‘like‘ means?”
Baber nodded seriously, explaining with his limited vocabulary, “Kissing…kissing means liking…”
Ellinor was helpless.
He had seen his father kiss her just then.
She didn’t even know how to explain that to such a little kid!
Baber blinked, seeming a bit troubled. He said, “Daddy doesn’t like Mommy, doesn’t kiss Mommy, so Mommy gets angry and hits me…”
Hearing Baber’s words, Ellinor felt a pang of pain in her heart, the ‘Mommy‘ in the child’s mouth was undoubtedly Patricia.
Patricia had been desperately seeking Theo’s attention,and every time Theo was not warm enough towards her, she vented her anger on the child.
How pitiful.
