Chapter 1207
Ida sighed deeply. “I get it; I didn’t see this coming either; he’s such a stubborn kid. Ellinor, I know Byran is your half-brother. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt him. When he’s had enough, I’ll stop contacting him.”
Ellinor felt a headache coming on as she massaged her temples. “Ida, you’re such a dunce! I’m worried for you! He’s young and rich, so there will always be girls around him. What harm could he get? I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.”
Ida laughed. “Ellinor, you’re overthinking! Do you really think I’d get hurt by a kid like Byran? Once he’s over the thrill, I’ll have grown tired too.”
Ellinor gave a bitter smile. “I hope so.”
Before every relationship started, everyone thought they were in control and that they wouldn’t be the ones getting hurt.
But usually, the one who fell in love first was also the first to move on, leaving the other one more deeply hurt.
After her relationship with Theo, Ellinor lost all confidence in love.
So she didn’t think Ida could easily break it off with Byran.
Up till now, Ida didn’t feel any deep attachment to Byran. She was just enjoying the ride. Her biggest worry was Ellinor getting upset.
“By the way! Ellinor, why did you call directly today? Aren’t you afraid the Blanchets might listen in? Is something up?”
Over the phone, Ellinor’s eyes dimmed. “Nothing urgent; I just wanted to chat. As for the Blanchets, there’s no need to hide from them.”
Ida sensed something. “What happened? You got discovered at the ribbon-cutting ceremony today?”
Ellinor shook her head. “Not at the ceremony, but Theo found out where I’m living now.”
Hearing this made Ida sit up straight. “What? He found you? Ellinor, are you okay? Did Theo give you any trouble?”
Ellinor sighed. “No, he didn’t do anything and just left.”
Ida relaxed but was puzzled. “He just left without doing anything? Ellinor, what’s Theo up to? He went through all that trouble just to find you and then did nothing?”
“I’m also confused. He just found me, knocked on my door, looked at me, then at my place, and left. Ida, what do you think he’s up to?”
Ida couldn’t figure out Theo’s intentions either. “Ellinor, didn’t he say anything?”
“No, not a word; just a cold laugh. Then he left.”
“Cold laugh?” Ida frowned. “Ellinor, this might be the calm before the storm; you can’t stay there anymore! Chase and I will come get you, okay?”
Ellinor squinted. “Calm before the storm?”
Yes, this could be the calm before the storm. Theo saw her big belly, thought about his child inside her, and didn’t do anything because he was probably worried about scaring her and affecting the baby.
Maybe he was waiting for the right moment to make his move.
Once she safely gave birth, he would show up and fight for custody!
Ellinor couldn’t help but recall her nightmare in Bartlett’s car, where Theo fought her for the baby.
With that in mind, Ellinor felt she couldn’t stay in Bartlett’s villa anymore.
“Ida, it’s late. You and Chase can come tomorrow. He didn’t do anything today, which means he’s not planning to make a move. One more day won’t matter.”
Ida nodded. “Alright, Chase and I will come get you tomorrow morning.”
They hung up after that.
“Who are you picking up tomorrow morning? I wanna come too!” Byran walked over while drying his hair and flopped down next to her, rubbing against her like a big puppy. Ida pushed her phone aside and gave him a push. “You just got out of the shower; can you chill and stay away from me?”
Byran pouted. “You didn’t answer me! Who’re you picking up tomorrow morning?”
