Chapter 1769 Belindaâs cheeks flushed a vibrant pink. âWhat are you doing? Ms. Gipson and Ellinor are right here! Let go of me; behave yourself!â Chase flashed her a cheeky grin. âItâs alright. Theyâre practically family. Have you picked out your wedding dress yet? Can I see?â Belinda struggled to free herself from his grip. âStop messing around!â Ida glanced at Chase with an expression of nonchalance, then turned her attention back to Ellinor, heading over for a chat with her. Chase, undeterred, carried on. âSee? Ida knows when to give us space. No third wheeling for her.â Belinda was mortified. âI knew I shouldnât have let you come!â Ellinor didnât pay much attention to Chase and Belindaâs intimate banter.
Instead, she chose to catch up with Ida about the recent happenings within Thaddeusâ company. As they chatted, her cell phone buzzed. Checking the screen, she saw an unknown number. Normally, Ellinor wouldnât answer unidentified calls, but she feared it might be him using a different number, so she picked up without hesitation. However, it wasnât a manâs voice on the other end of the line, but a young girlâs familiar tone. âIs this Ellinor?â Ellinor furrowed her brows as she tried to recognize the voice. âMmm, itâs me.â The girl, Lea, spoke, âEllinor, do you remember me? Iâm Lea! You saved my mom. Youâre her angel! We met in the restroom of that restaurant.â By now, Ellinor had already identified the voice, so she wasnât surprised.However, given that the girl was Thaddeusâs daughter, she couldnât help but be a bit wary. âWhat do you need?â Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Lea politely responded, âI got your number from Tristan, and I wanted to know if you had some time this afternoon. My mom and I have something important to discuss with you in person.â Thaddeusâs wife and daughter wanted to meet her? Ellinor was unaware of Bertha and Leaâs current situation. She had no clue about their departure from home or Berthaâs intention to divorce Thaddeus. She found the situation a bit peculiar. After considering it, she said, âIf youâre here to express your gratitude, itâs not necessary.â Lea quickly clarified. âNo, itâs not about that. Ellinor, my mom and I need to discuss something else with you. Itâs vitally important to you!â Something important to her? Could it be related to Marcus and Tristan? Ellinor couldnât help but be intrigued. âWhat is it?â âWell⦠itâs not really suitable to discuss this over the phone. Ellinor, when you have time, letâs meet in person. You can choose the place.â Ellinor pondered for a moment. âAlright, Iâll text this number later with the time and place.â Lea sounded relieved. âGreat! Ellinor, weâll see you soon, then.â After hanging up, Ellinorâs face bore a puzzled expression. Ida noticed her bossâs strange demeanor. âBoss, who wants to meet you?â Ellinor snapped back to reality and locked eyes with Ida. âItâs Thaddeusâ little girl.â
