The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1209

Ellinor nodded. "Yeah, I'm planning to go home and prepare for the baby. Bartlett, I put your phone in your room's drawer and turned it off for you. You can check if there were any missed calls. Thanks for taking care of me all this while."

After that, she, Chase, and Ida started to leave.

Bartlett had a hard time accepting her sudden departure. He blocked her way with a complicated expression. "We were still together yesterday. Why are you leaving now?"

Ellinor felt helpless. "Theo found out I'm here. If I continue to stay with you, it'll bring you a lot of trouble. So it's better for me to go home."

Theo found out? Bartlett was taken aback, and then he looked at her deeply. "Ellinor, do you think I'm afraid of trouble? If I were, I wouldn't have agreed to help you in the first place."

"I know you're not the type to shy away from problems, but now that he's found out, there's no point in me staying here in the suburbs. It's more convenient to go home and prepare for the baby. We can think about the rest in the long run."

Bartlett stayed silent for a few seconds and then nodded. "Alright, we'll stay in touch after you go home."

Ellinor agreed. "Okay."

Bartlett watched Ellinor get into Chase's car with squinted eyes. Theo had found her sooner than he expected.

...

After a two-hour drive, they finally arrived back in the city.

Chase asked over his shoulder. "Boss, should we eat first or drop you off at home and then eat?"

"We can eat later. I need to go to the office and check the financial reports and other documents from the past six months."
