    Chapter 1226


    Theo looked grim, and he had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “Ms. Mendoza, you may not care about


    your own life, but please don’t joke around with your unborn child!”


    Ellinor arrogantly pulled away from his grasp. “Mr. nchet, aren’t you a bit too worried? I’ve never


    heard that eating a carrot can harm a child!”


    Theo withdrew his hand; his icy gaze made him look like he was seemingly trying to see through her.


    Ellinor didn’t like the way he was looking at her; she got up and said, “Excuse me, I’m not feeling well, I


    need to use the restroom.


    Without waiting for anyone’s response, she left the dining table.


    After watching Ellinor’s retreating figure, Belinda turned her head towards her uncle.


    “Uncle, what were you doing just now? You upset Ellinor!”


    Theo remained silent, squinting his eyes at the sight of Ellinor’s retreating figure, not saying a word.


    Because of her pregnancy, Ellinor walked slowly. Before she could reach the restroom, she bumped


    into Veronica and Marissa, “Grandma, look, it’s really Ellinor!” Veronica, holding onto her grandmother’s


    arm, eximed excitedly.


    Ellinor stopped when she heard her name, turned her head, and looked.


    She was slightly surprised to see Veronica and Marissae over. She then politely shed a simple


    smile. “Marissa nchet, nice to see you.”


    After a long time apart, Marissa’s eyes were slightly moist. She stepped forward and took Ellinor’s


    hand, looking at her with concern. “Ellinor, where have you been these past six months? I think about


    you every day, wondering if you’re okay.”


    “I’ve been to a beautiful ce, and I’m doing well.”


    Marissa sighed. “What scenery canpare to home? Isn’t it better to stay home and take care of your


    pregnancy? Look at you! You’re eight months pregnant, but you look pale. It breaks my heart to think


    you might have been suffering alone.”

    Ellinor, a little helpless, exined, “Marissa, I wasn’t suffering; I was really doing well on my own.”


    But Marissa didn’t seem to take in her response and was still holding her hand with a pained look.


    Ellinor didn’t want too much contact with the nchet family, but she didn’t want to be cold towards


    Marissa either, so she just endured it for now. At the same time, she felt a pair of unfriendly eyes


    staring at her.


    She cautiously looked at the pair of eyes that made her ufortable, only to see Sophia walking over


    with a bright smile, reaching out her hand.


    “Hello, Ms. Mendoza! I often hear people talking about you! Nice to meet you… no, we should have


    met yesterday, right?”


    Through Ellinor’s figure, Sophia identified her as Moon she saw yesterday.


    Ellinorughed lightly at Sophia. “Yes, we meet again.”


    She merely responded to Sophia’s greeting without shaking her hand.


    Sophia’s outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air for a moment before she withdrew it, but her


    cheerful smile was still on her face. Ellinor originally had some respect for Marissa; she was very


    grateful for her past care, but now, after seeing Sophia appear alongside Marissa, Ellinor lost the mood


    to deal with the nchet family,


    She withdrew her hand coldly. “Marissa, I’m sorry, but I have to go. I need to use the restroom. Mr.


    nchet is just over there, you can go find him
