Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066

Ellinor waved her hand dismissively, “Alright, you don’t need to say anything more, just have the car ready for me at eight in the morning. And keep this trip a secret from Grandma, I don’t want her to worry.”

Collin hesitated a bit but didn’t argue and just nodded, “Okay.”

“Good, go do your thing.”

“Alright.”

Once Collin left, Ellinor leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. Man, she was beat!

She could have asked Chase to arrange the trip for tomorrow, but he said he was out of the country for research.

Ida wasn’t in Greenhaven recently either, it wasn’t worth it to have her rush back for such a small thing.

So, having Collin arrange it was the best option. As a member of the Blanchet family, him arranging her trip to Howard Mountain Villa could represent the Blanchet family’s stance. After all, Theo was Baber’s legal guardian, not her.

Baber, the poor kid, was under Xenia’s control. Nobody could imagine what he was going through. But she hoped he was okay.

Ellinor gently rubbed her belly, as though she could feel the baby growing bit by bit inside her. Maybe it was because she was about to become a mom, but her maternal instincts seemed to be overflowing.

She couldn’t bear to see other kids suffer.

After sitting in her study for a while, Ellinor got up and walked out, just as Moran, who had just finished tutoring Veronica, and Veronica herself, who had come to see him off, were leaving.

Veronica, standing next to Moran, looked totally different from her usually proud self. She looked quite well–behaved.

Moran’s eyes flickered after seeing her, “Ellinor.”

Ellinor nodded with a small smile, “Mhm. Thanks for your hard work.”

Moran chuckled, “No hard work on my part; I’m just sitting here and lecturing. Who wouldn’t dream of working in such a great environment!”

Ellinor kept her smile, “As long as you don’t find Veronica too hard to teach.”

Veronica frowned. She was clearly unhappy, as if she were complaining that Ellinor was not leaving her any dignity in front of Moran.

Moran was patient, and he shook his head, “Veronica’s basic knowledge is a bit lacking, but she’s eager to learn and is improving quickly.”

After hearing Moran’s praise, Veronica immediately forgot her dissatisfaction with Ellinor as her face turned red.

Ellinor glanced at the pleased Veronica as the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile.

Only Moran could teach her; if it were anyone else, she wouldn’t settle down to study.

It was really like some kind of balance in nature.

“Ellinor, I heard from Veronica that you were hospitalized a few days ago. How are you now? Is your health recovered?” Moran’s gaze fell on Ellinor, as if he were carefully checking if she was still feeling unwell.

OF USE S E&P Ellinor shook her head gently, “I’m fine now; thanks for your concern. It’s getting late; be careful on your way home. Veronica, have Devin escort Moran.”

Veronica nodded confidently, “I know. Even if you didn’t specifically tell me, I would still do that.”

Ellinor responded, “Good.”

She turned and walked back towards her room. There was nothing else that needed her attention, so she planned to take a bath and rest.

“Ellinor, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
