Chapter 266
Ida Gipson was busy taking the milk cup from Ellinor Mendoza, setting it aside, then handing her a tissue and gently patting her back.
After coughing Ellinor finally calmed down, “Ida, you’re right, I’m not feeling great today”
Ida nodded, asking. “Hmm, what’s got you down?”
Fire flashed in Ellinor’s eyes. “Because of that man’s behavior, I just can’t wrap my head around it. Out of the blue, he wanted me to witness his reunion with that woman. Regardless of the actual situation, at least in everyone’s eyes, I’m still has wife, wouldn’t I be embarrassed by his actions?”
Ida grimaced, yeah, that’s a bit over the line.”
Ellinor frowned, saying “Maybe he wanted me to know his old flame is back or remind me to be careful not to give her the wrong impression. But he could’ve spoken to me privately, I didn’t need to be there in person!”
Ida nodded in agreement. “Yeah, he wasn’t exactly playing fair!”
Ellinor slumped back onto the couch, ‘So I’m just stuck wondering, how am I supposed to handle our relationship in the remaining month or so!”
“Oh, so that’s what’s going on!‘ Ida smiled, “Then let’s just not go back, let them enjoy their lives, we don’t need to bother with them!”
”
The part that irked Ellinor the most was, “No way, we agreed on a three–month collaboration, it’s only halfway through; I can’t break the agreement. Plus, that man isn’t exactly easy to shake off. If I leave halfway, he’ll definitely track me down, which would be an even bigger headache.
“Are you planning on going back tomorrow, then?”
“Yes, with a month and a half left, I have to stick it out!”
Ida got up, walked behind the couch, and gave her a sympathetic shoulder rub, “Ah, you’re having a tough time.”
Ellinor was pouting, feeling like she was in a tough situation that was even more exhausting than working on a construction site. Since joining the Blanchel family, she hasn’t had a moment’s peace!
After a moment, Ida asked, “But… has anything happened between you and that man?”
Ellinor’s face was still a bit flushed from the intense coughing…
Though reluctant to admit it, she was honest,
there was, once”
*Did you guys use protection?” Ida asked with a frown, she was just being cautious, but it really happened?
Protection? Ellinor was taken aback, then muttered, ” right?”
no, it was too sudden that day… I wasn’t thinking straight; I can’t be that unlucky to get pregnant after one time,
Ida cautioned seriously. “It’s hard to be sure about these things, if you don’t want any ties with Mr. Blanchet, you should be careful in the future.”
Ellinor’s eyes grew cold, “That was a one–time thing, there won’t be a next time.”
Ida’s face flashed with worry. “Then.. do you like Mr. Blanchet?”
Ellinor chuckled. ‘What’s there to like about him? His temper? Or his bullying behavior?”
Ida found Ellinor’s prideful demeanor quite adorable, she smiled, “I mean, do you find Mr. Blanchet attractive?‘
