Chapter 1285
Thanks for your help.”
The two of them made it to the security room, and they asked the guard to pull up the security footage.
And there it was. They saw the footage of Theo carrying Ellinor out of the venue.
Sophia clenched her fist under the table. “That damn Theo! He took Ellinor and didn’t even have the decency to tell us. He had us worried sick!”
She was smiling as she spoke, but her smile was worse than a cry.
Bartlett was no better, he didn’t like the idea of Theo and Ellinor having any private contact. Partly due to his own jealousy, but also because Ellinor was in no state to handle any stress. If Theo lost his temper, it could really hurt her.
After a quick goodbye to Sophia, Bartlett was out the door.
Sophia caught up with him. “Bartlett, you’re going after Theo and Ellinor, aren’t you? Take me with you. I want in!”
Bartlett felt like Sophia might have had a different purpose, but he was too focused on finding Ellinor to care.
“Alright, let’s go.”
So Sophia hopped into Bartlett’s car. They drove slowly, keeping an eye on every car on the road, hoping to spot Theo’s.
Even after a long while, there was no sign of his car.
Sophia was losing hope, thinking they might not find them today.
But then she noticed something else and curiously turned to Bartlett. “Bartlett, truthfully, do you have a thing for Ellinor?”
Bartlett was deep in his search for Theo’s car, but Sophia’s question stopped him cold.
He was silent for a moment, then laughed. “I do have a soft spot for her.”
Sophia’s smile grew wider. “I love a man who’s honest! I knew I wasn’t wrong; the way you look at Ellinor is different.”
Bartlett gave her a small laugh, refocusing on the road.
Sophia pondered for a moment and then asked, “So, what’s your game plan?”
As he drove, Bartlett responded. “Are you asking me how I plan to deal with Ellinor?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes, are you planning to silently like her, like you’re her guardian? Or are you going to make a move so you can win her over?”
Bartlett chuckled. “To be honest, I’m going for the latter. As for whether I’ll succeed, well, that’s up to lady luck.”
Sophia looked surprised. “You really plan to pursue Ellinor? You don’t mind that she’s carrying someone else’s child? And it’s Theo’s! Aren’t you afraid of a fallout with Theo over Ellinor?”
Bartlett squinted. “Of course I mind. But sometimes you’re dealt a bad hand. Theo met Ellinor first; I was late to the game. And regarding the child, I believe the Blanchets won’t let their heir be born out of wedlock.”
Sophia grasped his meaning. “So, your plan is to wait till Ellinor has the baby, then once the baby is taken in by the Blanchets, you’ll start a relationship with Ellinor and have your own baby?”
Bartlett gave a small laugh. “The Blanchets will definitely take the baby. As for when to start a relationship with Ellinor, I’d like to be with her now, but she’s not ready. I still have some work to do.”
