    Ida didn’t stop peeling the apple, her slender fingers working skillfully as she finished thest round.


    She cut off a small slice, offered it to Ellinor’s mouth, and said, “No worries, it’s not a big deal. Before


    you guys were pals, I looked after Ellinor.”


    Belinda blinked, watching Ida gently feed Ellinor apple slices. Something felt off…


    Although she worked at Crescent Society, she didn’t have much contact with Ms. Gipson. The woman


    was a workaholic, not chatty, and kinda of cold, which made people keep their distance.


    However, in front of Ellinor, Ms. Gipson seemed totally different. Her coldness disappeared, and there


    was even a warm vibe.


    Belinda had never seen Ms. Gipson behave like this with anyone else.


    As Belinda was deep in thought, Veronica, who never minced her words, grumbled, “My brother sure


    has a lot ofpetitors. Even a woman wants to steal his wife!”


    Belinda frowned, asking Veronica to zip it!


    Ida, hearing Veronica’s words, didn’t take it to heart. She cut another apple slice for Ellinor, “Boss,


    since Mr. nchet is out of town, why don’t you stay with us after you leave the hospital? I don’t feel


    comfortable leaving you alone at the nchet’s ce.”


    Ellinor, munching on her apple, considered Ida’s proposal.

    Veronica immediately cut in, “No way! She’s a part of the nchet family now. How could she just go


    and live with you guys? I feel even more uneasy! Everyone’s eyeing Ellinor like a hawk!”


    Ellinor smirked, wondering what Veronica was scheming now.


    Ida nced at Veronica, a faint light reflecting off her gold–rimmed sses, “Ms. nchet, you’re


    overthinking. I’m just worried that the nchet household won’t take good care of our boss. This has


    nothing to do with your brother.”


    Ellinor fell silent.


    Ida’s words only added to the confusion.


    Veronica quickly stepped forward, pushing Ida away as if she’d seen a ghost, “Ellinor, did you hear


    that? This woman is definitely up to no good. Stay away from her! Be careful she doesn’t take


    advantage of you!”


    Ellinor twitched her mouth and said, “You’re even more suspicious than your brother! Alright, stop


    fussing. She’s a childhood friend of mine. You should call her ‘sister.”


    Veronica cast a wary nce at Ida, thinking there was more to this woman than meets the eye. She


    sure as hell wasn’t going to call her ‘sister‘!


    “With my brother not around, I have a duty to keep an eye on his wife and prevent anyone from making


    a move.”


    Ellinor fell silent.


    Ida didn’t pay Veronica any mind. She put down the apple, adjusted her sses, and stood up, “Boss,


    I’m going to wash my hands.”


    Ellinor yawned and nodded. She noticed Belinda frequently ncing at Chase, seeming a bit


    distracted. Ellinor frowned, thought for a while, and then said, “Belinda.”
