Chapter 472


    Chapter 472


    Patricia looked up with those innocent, helpless eyes that made you wanna shield her from the world,


    like a harmless little deer. “But..”


    Haillie got up, rapped lightly on Ellinor’s desk, then crossed her arms and said in a haughty tone, Listen


    up, Ellinor! The kid’s asleep on the couch in Balfour’s office Patricia and I are stepping out for a bit, but


    we ll be back soon! If anything happens to the kid while we’re gone, it’s on you!”


    Ellinor didn’t even bother to look up and was ready to refuse


    But Haillie didn’t give her the chance and took Patricia’s hand ‘Let’s go, Patricia”


    Ellinor frowned, looking up just in time to see Patricia and Haillie’s backs disappear into the elevator


    Ellinor was dumbfounded


    Haillie’s actions were understandable, but Patricia was a mother How could she just hand her child


    over to a stranger so easily?


    Something about this just didn’t sit right


    But whatever, it was none of Ellinors business what Patricia did


    However, with Me Howard out and a kid alone in the office it was definitely not safe


    After some thought, Ellinor took herptop and headed to the CEOs office


    The little boy just as Haillie had said was sound asleep on the couch covered with Patricia’s coat


    Not wanting to wake him, Ellinor tiptoed over and ced herptop on the table


    Then she sneaked to Balfour’s desk, pulled out the mini high resolution camera shed brought along,


    and took a picture of the framed photo of a mother on the desk. After snapping the pic, she tucked the


    camera away


    Ellinor returned to the couch, sat at a distance from the little boy, and continued her trantion work,


    asionally ncing at the boy to check if he was awake or if he’d fallen off


    During this time, Balfour didn’t return, and in a blink, over an hour had passed, and Ellinor finally


    finished her trantion task and stretched.


    Seeing that the boy was still asleep, she decided to rest


    for a bit too


    Not long after, she heard the boy crying and immediately looked over


    Patricia’s son had woken up and was sitting up looking around as if searching for his mother


    When he saw Ellinor, he suddenly looked terrified and burst into tears


    Ellinor was taken aback by his sudden crying and felt at a loss


    Even though she was pregnant, she had no experience when it came to calming a child


    “Uh… Your mom will be back soon, don’t cry!”


    A one-year-old couldn’t really talk or understand adult words, so he didn’t stop crying

    When Ellinor tried to get up tofort him, he only cried harder at the sight of her approaching, as if


    she were some scary monster


    Not knowing what else to do, Ellinor stopped in her tracks, “Okay, I won’te any closer, can you


    stop crying now?”


    Hepletely ignored her and climbed off the couch wobbling towards the door.


    Ellinor couldn’t let a small child run out alone, so she quickly followed, “Wait..
