    It took him a full hour to correct all his mistakes, and only after that did he finally get Ellinor’s green light


    to step out for an hour.


    Learning from yesterday’s mistake, he put on some clean clothes without putting much effort into his


    appearance and dashed out the


    door.


    After Byran finished his homework, Ellinor checked her phone.


    Theo hadn’t epted her money, nor had he replied to her messages.


    Why was he acting so hot and cold?


    First, he was so chatty that it was annoying; now he was giving her the silent treatment and ignoring


    her messages.


    Even if he didn’t want to reply, couldn’t he at least ept the money first?


    Suddenly, Bartlett texted her. “Ellinor, are you okay?”


    Ellinor was puzzled and texted back. “I’m fine; what’s up?”


    “Are you sure you’re okay? Don’t put on a brave face. If you feel like crying, I cane over. You can


    lean on my shoulder.”


    Ellinor was confused. “Why would I be in trouble? Why would I want to cry?”


    This time, Bartlett took five minutes to reply. “Nothing; I was just worried since your due date is


    approaching. I’m afraid you might be emotional, d to hear you’re fine.”


    Ellinor felt like there was something off, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.


    She texted Bartlett back. “I’m good. I’


    Bartlett replied. “Alright, remember to


    care of myself. Thanks for the concern.”

    After the conversation with Bartlett, Ellinor felt

    a tad uneasy.


    Suddenly, she felt a movement in her belly and saw her stomach rise and fall. It was the baby moving.


    Even her baby could sense her unease and became restless.


    Ellinor gently rubbed her belly, trying to soothe it. “It’s okay, baby. Mommy is fine. Mommy is here.”


    After calming the baby, the movement in her belly gradually subsided until it waspletely quiet.


    It was lunchtime when Byran arrived at the Crescent Society.


    He was now a regr in the CEO’s office, so Ida’s secretary was no longer surprised to see him and


    didn’t stop him.


    After walking confidently into Ida’s office, Byran saw her staring out the window, seemingly deep in


    thought.


    He decided to sneak up on her and make a funny face to scare her.


    But Ida wasn’t scared at all. In fact, she found him childish. She gracefully adjusted her sses and


    asked, “What brings you here again? Shouldn’t you be at home with Ellinor?”


    Byran said righteously, “I’ve been with her all morning, so I thought I’de and check on you. You


    ignored me yesterday and didn’t have lunch with me. I was starving all day till dinner! But I’m forgiving,


    so it’s fine. I forgive you, just as long as you have lunch with me today.”


    Ida looked at him coldly. “You can ask me out anytime, but for these few days you need to be at home


    with Ellinor; don’t let her feel lonely.”


    Byran was slightly confused. “What’s wrong? When Ellinor stayed at your ce, she was often home


    alone, wasn’t she?”
