    Bartlett chuckled with ease, “Ellinor, you sure have faith in me, huh? I came here all by myself, though.


    Would you mind showing me around?”


    Ellinor stayed silent.


    Clearly, Bartlett had no ns of leaving.


    From the rearview mirror, Collin observed Ellinor and asked, “Ellinor, what’s this about…?”


    Ellinor had no interest in any more chit–chat with Bartlett or wasting more time with him. The sun was


    already setting.


    So she waved it off, “Alright, hit the road!”


    Collin frowned but nodded and started the car, nning to fill Mr. nchet in on the situationter.


    The car journeyed through the mountain road, allowing them to take in the breathtaking scenic view.


    Ellinor slightly rolled down the window, hoping to catch the mountain breeze.


    But just as she rolled down the window, a hand extended from the side and closed it back up.


    With a frown, Ellinor red at Bartlett, “What do you think you’re doing?”


    Bartlett smiled and replied, “The chill can give you a headache. You’re pregnant and need to take extra


    care of yourself.”


    Ellinor scowled. “Mr. Rex, has anyone ever told you that you’re a chatterbox?”


    Bartlett shook his head with a smile, “No, I don’t generally talk this much with others.”


    Bartlett had leaned in closer to shut the window, which Ellinor noticed, “Alright, thank you for the


    reminder. Now, Mr. Rex, could you please slide back to your spot? It’s inappropriate to sit so close to a


    married woman.”


    Bartlett didn’t seem bothered, so he respected her wish and scooted back to his seat.


    Ellinor turned her gaze back to the view outside, ignoring him.


    Bartlett broke the silence.

    “Ellinor, you’re pregnant now, and Theo lets youe up here alone? He really doesn’t worry about


    you, does he?”


    Upon hearing this, Ellinor stayed silent.


    Unable to bear it, Collin stepped in, fearing that Ellinor might overthink, “Mr. Rex, you may have


    misunderstood. Mr. nchet specifically arranged for me to apany Ellinor to ensure her safety.”


    Bartlett chuckled, “Right! I almost forgot you were here. But a husband should apany his wife


    himself. Even having a subordinate to apany her all day isn’t quite right, is it?”


    Collin frowned and replied, “Mr. nchet has been tied up with some urgent matterstely. He will be


    back to apany Ellinor shortly; there’s no need for you to worry.”


    Bartlett smiled, “Yes, Theo is very fond of Ellinor. How could he mistreat her? I might have been


    sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong.”


    Ellinor remained silent.


    Before long, Collin arrived at the ce where Ellinor had grown up in less than fifteen minutes.


    Ellinor looked a bit down as she gazed at the monastery outside the window.


    She snapped back to reality and turned to Bartlett, “Mr. Rex, I’m going to hang out in the monastery for


    a bit. You might not be interested, so feel free to wait in the car or wander around”


    With his usual rxed smile, Bartlett’s subtly intense eyes fixed on her, “Who said I wasn’t interested?


    Now that I’m here, I might as well take a look.”
