    Ellinor found it hrious. “Why should I step aside for you? Am I in your way?”


    Sophia leaned in close to her ear. “You’re not blocking my walking path, but you’re definitely blocking


    my love path.”


    Ellinor’s gaze was icy, like she was listening to a ridiculous joke. “Your love path has nothing to do with


    me!”


    As Sophia was about to say something, she suddenly noticed a tall and graceful figure appearing


    behind Ellinor and startedughing. “Bartlett, howe you’re


    here?”


    Bartlett walked over, nced at Ellinor casually, and then smiled at Sophia. “I just stepped out to make


    a phone call. What are you twodies chatting about?” Sophia nced at Bartlett and then at Ellinor, as


    if she had realized something. Her smile revealed a hint of intrigue. “Oh, Ellinor mentioned she’s quite


    interested in the paintings at the party. I’m worried about her walking around pregnant, but I have to


    attend to the guests, so, Bartlett, why don’t you apany Ellinor?”


    Bartlett answered with a smile. “Sure, I’ll take care of that!”


    A glint shed in Sophia’s eyes. “Great, have fun you two. I won’t disturb you!”


    With that, Sophia disappeared gracefully into the crowd.


    Bartlett watched Sophia’s figure gradually disappear and then turned to Ellinor. “Didn’t you say you


    were going to the restroom? How did you end up here?”


    “So, after going to the restroom, I can’t walk around? Do I have to go back and let you guys scrutinize


    me?”


    Bartlett shrugged andughed. “As you just saw, I didn’t join them in discussing you.”


    Ellinor’s opinion of Bartlett had changed a lot; after all, he was the one who had saved her life.


    “Do you find them annoying as well?”


    Bartlettughed. “A bit, yeah.”


    Ellinor nodded. “I can tell.”


    Bartlett looked down at her feet. Ellinor had dressed up for the party today, but thankfully she didn’t


    wear heels; she just wore a pair of simple white ts. Otherwise, she would definitely be ufortable.


    “Do you want to check out the paintings at the party? Come on, I’ll apany you!” Bartlett gestured


    for her to go ahead.


    Ellinor frowned, somewhat unhappy. “You don’t need to apany me. It’s crowded here, and seeing


    you with a pregnant woman like me could easily lead to misunderstandings and gossip. I can handle it


    myself. Go hang out with your friends.”


    Bartlett was unconcerned. “Let them think what they want to; besides, you can help me ward off other


    women.”

    “I don’t want to be the center of attention!”


    Bartlettughed. “It’s okay; everyone’s having a st, so they won’t notice us. Come on, I’ll stick with


    you. It will be a disaster if you twist your ankle while pregnant.” Seeing Bartlett’s stubbornness, Ellinor


    knew he wouldn’t leave.


    Ellinor decided not to argue with Bartlett anymore, so she moved forward on her own, with Bartlett


    following closely behind. Bartlett was very considerate; when it was crowded, he would support Ellinor


    to prevent others from bumping into her.


    At that moment, on a quiet spot on the staircase, a pair of hawk-like eyes coldly watched the two of


    them.


    Sophia handed a cocktail to the man. “Theo, are Ellinor and Bartlett close? They seem to get along


    pretty well.” Theo squinted his eyes. “Where do you see them getting along well?”
