Chapter 268

Patricia was a bit shorter than Ellinor, with incredibly smooth skin

Her features were exquisitely delicate, like a Westem realistic painting filled with gentleness and

emotion. A tiny red mole graced the middle of her eyebrows.

Her eyes were big and round, slightly drooping at the comers, making her seem like a naive and

carefree little doe

She was beautiful, of a non–threatening kind, the kind that made people want to protect her the

moment they laid eyes on her. But she was in her pajamas and barefoot when she opened the door…

Had she spend the night here last night?

A smirk tugged at the corner of Ellinor’s mouth as she realized this

Good thing she cleverly stayed away last night, or something would have been super awkward!

She couldn’t help but think, what a shameless man! Couldn’t he take his old flame to a hotel or

something?

He still had a wife he wasn’t divorced from and was bringing another woman home for the night. Talk

about crossing a line!

Ellinor didn’t reply to Patricia.

Patricia blinked her moist eyes and asked again, “Who are you looking for?”

It wasn’t that Ellinor didn’t want to answer, she just didn’t know how to reply to Patricia’s question.

If she mentioned her name, Patricia might not know who she was. If she said, she was Mrs. Blanchet‘,

it would sound like she was trying to steal Patricia’s spot.

She didn’t want to stir up trouble with this stranger, much less fight over a man.

After pondering momentarily, Ellinor went for a safe answer, “I’m not looking for anyone. I just live here

for now”

Patricia blinked her big eyes as if she had seen something new, “Live here?”

At that moment, Devin came down the stairs, looking a bit anxious. But his face brightened when he

saw Ellinor at the door. He quickly walked over, “Ellinor, you’re back!”

Ellinor nodded, turning her gaze to Devin.

Devin scanned Ellinor from top to bottom before asking in concern, “Ellinor, where were you last night?

You didn’t come home all night.”

Walking in, Ellinor casually replied, “I was at a friend’s party. It got late, so I stayed over.”

Relief washed over Devin when he saw that she was back safe and sound, “That’s good! That’s good.”

Ellinor didn’t pay much attention to Devin’s changing expressions. She casually handed him a food

box, “Devin, this is a cake I brought back from my friend’s. Put it in the fridge for me. I might want to eat

it later”

Devin respectfully accepted the food box, “All right, Ellinor.

Turning his head, Devin called over a maid. He handed her the food box to put in the fridge and

instructed her to inform Mr. Blanchet that Ellinor was back.

Understanding Devin’s instructions, the maid nodded and left with the food box.

After changing into slippers in the foyer, Ellinor headed straight for the stairs to go to her room.

She had things to deal with. The overall design for the new Blanchet Corporation office building was no

small task. She had put it off for several days and finally had some inspiration. But she needed to

complete a detailed draft within three days. Time was of the essence

Work needed to start ASAP!

But after only a few steps, she heard someone softly call her name from behind

“Ellinor”

Patricia’s voice was very gentle.

Ellinor stopped in her tracks, surprised that Patricia knew her name. She turned around and looked at

Patricia, “Hmm? What’s up?”
