Chapter 402
Patricia straightened her blouse, then lifted her head, looking at Ellinor with a mix of sympathy and provocation.
1 bet Theo didn’t tell you we have a kid together, did he? Still think you can trust him blindly?”
“How old were you when you got pregnant? Where’s the kid?” Ellinor narrowed her eyes.
Patricia chuckled when she saw Ellinor start to ask more questions.
You said you trust Theo, right? You can ask him all about it! But I bel even if you do, Theo won’t admit it and won’t tell you the truth.”
Ellinor, clearly intrigued, raised an eyebrow, “Alright, let’s say I believe you. If you two have a kid, you love him and he likes you, why not just get hitched? As far as I know, the Blanchet family elders are all for offspring With such a good thing, why not go public?”
Patricia seemed to remember something distressing and said, “Ellinor, you should know that the Howard family and the Blanchet family have some family disputes. Our elders don’t approve of my relationship with Theo. If they found out I was pregnant, they’d probably have forced me to abort it. They would never allow a child from the Blanchet and Howard families to be born! So, to protect me, Theo sent me abroad to have the baby. Theo arranged everything well, my pregnancy and childbirth overseas were kept secret from everyone, including my family. Why else do you think I left home for over a year?”
Ellinor frowned, “But you still didn’t say where the kid is.”
Patricia sighed mournfully, like a mother missing her child, “The child has been weaned and is being taken care of overseas. Theo says he’ll try to resolve the family disputes quickly and then bring us into the Blanchet family. But who knew that Putnam Blanchet would pressure him into marriage so quickly? Theo had to find someone to appease him, and that’s where you came in. Ellinor, I’m not surprised Theo has feelings for you. Men always like new women, and I’m not new anymore since I gave birth to his child. But even if you’re new now, you won’t be forever! And Theo’s feelings for me are different; I’ve saved his life and given birth to his child, and once he’s had his fun, he’ll naturally come back to me.”
Ellinor nodded calmly. “Okay, got it; thanks for letting me know. Anything else? If not, please move; I’m off to eat my chicken wings!”
Patricia froze.
What was her deal? Why was Ellinor always so indifferent and always surprising everyone.
Upon learning her husband had a child with another woman, she was only concerned about eating chicken wings?
Patricia watched Ellinor walk away and gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a figure emerging from the villa, and she quickly stepped forward, grabbing Ellinor’s arm.
Ellinor frowned in surprise, “Ms. Howard, what now?”
Patricia suddenly dropped to her knees, “Ellinor, I’m sorry, I messed up. Don’t be mad…”
Then she acted as if she’d been kicked hard, falling backward onto the ground and weakly moaning. “Ellinor, I’ve apologized; why’d you have to kick me…”
