    Chapter 1253


    Belinda must’ve forgotten something and came back.


    Ellinor didn’t think much of it. She put down her milk mug and got up to open the door.


    As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bartlett’s handsome face.


    Ellinor was a bit surprised, but she didn’t let it show. “What brings you here?”


    Bartlett held a thermos. “Just checking in on you! I had someone make you some bolete mushroom


    soup for breakfast.”


    “Thanks.” Ellinor said it in a neutral tone and invited him in.


    This was Bartlett’s first time at Ellinor’s ce. He looked around the room and seemed to quite like the


    decor.


    “Where’s the kitchen? I need to get a bowl to serve the soup.”


    “Just sit down; I’ll get it.” Ellinor didn’t tell him where the kitchen was; she went there herself.


    Bartlett didn’t sit down; instead, he followed her into the kitchen with the thermos.


    The cupboard for bowls was under the sink, and it was a bit hard for Ellinor to bend down since she


    was heavily pregnant.


    Bartlett went over and helped her up. “You just stay put I’ll get it.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Ellinor didn’t insist so she stepped aside.


    Bartlett took a bowl from the cupboard, opened the thermos, and served her a bowl of soup on the


    counter. “Here, have some.”


    Ellinor nodded and didn’t refuse.


    Ever since she got pregnant, she had been leaning towards soup.


    When she was living in the vi arranged by Bartlett, he’d instructed the staff there to make soup for


    her every night


    Today’s breakfast was prepared by Ida. It was hot milk and sandwiches, which she found a bit nd.


    So, Bartlett’s soup really arrived right on time.


    Bartlett’s eyes were full of tenderness as he watched Ellinor quietly sip the soup. He frowned. “How


    come your eyes are so dark even though it’s only been a day since Ist saw you? Didn’t you sleep


    wellst night?”


    Ellinor nodded. “Yeah, I had some insomnia.”


    Bartlett spoke with a serious tone, “Ellinor, you’re close to your due date: you can’t stay upte like this.


    How can I not worry when you’re like this?”


    Ellinor understood that she needed to take care of herself now. Butst night, her mind was a mess,


    and she just couldn’t fall asleep.


    However, Bartlett’s concern made her a bit ufortable.


    After hearing her say this. Bartlett sighed and then smiled. “Ellinor, do I look like someone who’s overly


    calctive? I just want to take care of you. I don’t think too much about


    Ellinor kept her head down and kept drinking the soup. After a while, she said, “You’ve helped me a lot.


    I consider you a good friend. If you need any help in the future. just say it But other than that, I really


    can’t offer you anything more. I hope you understand.”


    Bartlett moved closer to her. “Ellinor, do you really have to be so definite?”


    Ellinor looked up at him. “I’m just expressing my true feelings. It’s better than giving you any false


    hope.”


    Bartlett moved even closer. “You have a long life ahead. Are you really not nning on dating again?”


    Ellinor felt like he was too close, so she moved back a bit. “I honestly don’t have the energy to date


    again.”
