    Chapter 441


    Bartlett smirked, “Don’t worry I won’t say anything to any member of the nchet family, including


    Theo.”


    Ellinor was a bit taken aback. He had seen through her guard and even gave her assurance, it seemed


    she had no reason to turn down the invite now.


    “Alright, let’s hit a barbecue jointter my treat!”


    She thought that with Bartlett dressed so formally, if he took her to a fancy and romantic restaurant and


    got spotted by acquaintances, it might stir up unnecessary gossip.


    The BBQ joint might be crowded and casual, but they wouldn’t bump into people from Bartlett’s circle.


    Plus, dining and chatting in such a lively atmosphere wouldn’te off as too intimate. It would just


    seem like two friends catching up


    She didn’t want any drama with these upper–ss gents and wanted to save herself the hassle


    Bartlett chuckled, “Sounds good, you’re picking up the tab today!”


    After purchasing two paintings of Lady Lotus, Ellinor left an address for the gallery to deliver the


    artwork directly to Chase.


    Then she and Bartlett left the gallery together.


    The chosen dining ce was a renowned BBQ joint in Hnd City, picked by Ellinor.


    Bartlett, being a looker, drew the attention of many.


    But his air of nobility, coupled with an approach–with–caution vibe, kept the girls at bay.


    In the BBQ joint, a waiter led them to a table for two and handed them the menu


    Ellinor ordered a few dishes she liked first, then passed the menu to Bartlett across the table, “Mr. Rex,


    get whatever you fancy, don’t hold back!”


    Bartlett just smirked and didn’t hold back; indeed, he picked quite a lot from the menu.


    He seemed quite familiar andfortable with such a small restaurant, ordering with ease and without


    any hesitation.


    Ellinor was a tad surprised; someone of his stature wouldn’t usually dine at such ces, let alone be


    familiar with the unique dishes.


    How could he be so adept?


    After Bartlett finished ordering, Ellinor sneakily nced at his choices.


    He had ordered a lot of special dishes, mostly the signature dishes of this ce.


    Who knew Bartlett was a foodie!

    Ellinor couldn’t help but recall the first time Theo apanied her to a BBQ. In stark contrast to


    Bartlett’s seasoned demeanor, Theo, though expressionless, was clearly out of his element in such an


    environment. He was obviously clueless about the BBQ culture; you could tell he was doing his best to


    put up with it and y along.


    After they finished ordering, they handed the menu back to the waiter.


    Bartlett, the gentleman, poured her a ss of mango juice. His casual tone hinted at a probing


    undertone, “Ellinor, I heard you’ve been away from the nchet family for a month now; does that


    mean you and Theo have called it quits?”
