Chapter 625
On the flip side, Ellinor was on her way home
Her mind was a total mess as she relived Theo’s injuries, his last look at her, and their misunderstanding
She was freaking out!
As soon as she walked through the door, her cat came over lo rub against her foot.
Having swapped her shoes for slippers, Ellinor bent down to pick up her cat, feeling a bit more at ease
Chase was brewing coffee in the kitchen Seeing her return, he asked, “Why are you back so early? Any juicy gossip from Old Mr. Bagley’s birthday party?”
Ellinor sat down with the cat in her arms, flopping onto the couch. “Yeah, I got some.”
H
She was mistaken by old Mr. and Mrs. Bagley for their granddaughter, unintentionally, but still, that counted.
This way, it would be much easier for her to go dig up some dirt on the Bagley family in the future.
Something seemed off to Chase, “Eh? Why the long face if you got something?””
Ellinor replied, “Tired!”
Chase handed her a glass of milk, “What’s up? Did you dance your feet off at the party?”
Ellinor took the milk, gave Chase, who was always ready with a barb, a look, and then told him about the test results from the hospital
thing?”
Upon hearing this, Chase furrowed his brows in alert. “Someone tampered with your lab report, who would do such a
Ellinor chuckled, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be Patricia, she’s the only one who would keep an eye on me and pull this kind of stunt.”
Chase thought it over and agreed.
“Actually, Patricia unwittingly did you a favor this time. Otherwise, Theo would’ve found out you were pregnant with his child”
Ellinor’s gaze darkened, “Yeah, that’s true.”
Chase continued, “Anyway. Theo already thinks we’re married. Let him believe we’re having a child now. This will only confirm our previous lie and get him off our back.”
Yeah, that’s right.
Ellinor’s eyes drooped. The taste of the milk in her mouth was bitter.
Seeing her low spirits, Chase leaned over, “Ellinor, tell me the truth. You still care about that guy, don’t you? That’s why you’re upset about being thought of as a loose
woman.”
Ellinor fell silent.
She felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
She’d been through a lot since she was a kid; she never cared about what others thought of her, but when it came to him, she couldn’t seem to let go.
She was so agitated!
Ellinor didn’t want to dwell on it, so she changed the subject. “Enough about that! Chase, go fix me something to eat, I’m starving!”
“Sure thing!” Chase dared not bring up her emotional issues anymore, he got up to head to the kitchen, then remembered.
“Oh yeah, this year’s World Hacker Conference has been moved to our country. I heard that AAAres is going too! Ellinor, you wanna go check it out?”
AAAres was considered the world’s top hacker.
Ellinor had idolized him since she was a child and he was a senior she’d always wanted to meet.
Her mood hadn’t been great lately, if she could meet her idol at the conference, she’d surely be thrilled.
If she didn’t get the chance to meet him, she could treat the conference as a getaway anyway.
Ellinor enthusiastically said, “Sure, where’s the conference taking place?”
