    Chapter 1409


    Upon hearing that the visitor wasn’t Theo, Ellinor’s eyes dimmed a bit. “Alright, take her to the living


    room and tell her to wait for me. Let the kitchen know to prepare another lunch. Our guest might stay


    for a meal.”


    “Very well, Ms. Mendoza.” The servant bowed respectfully before turning to execute the order.


    Ellinor, along with Baber, headed back/inside to meet Belinda Wesley.


    The moment she stepped into the living room, Belinda, lugging along arge suitcase, greeted her.


    “Hey, Auntie!”


    Ellinor nced at the suitcase at her feet and then at Belinda. “What’s all this? Are you moving or


    something?”


    Belinda shook her head. “Nah, it’s baby stuff I got for you. Aren’t you about to pop?”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ellinor smiled faintly at the suitcase. “I’ve got everything I need already. I’m all set and ready. That


    suitcase is massive. The hospital probably won’t have space for it. If you can return it, you probably


    should.”


    She had already stocked up on all the baby essentials, and Balfour had also showered her with gifts.


    Pouting, Belinda said, “Actually, only the suitcase is from me. The stuff inside is all handpicked by my


    uncle himself.”


    Ellinor was taken aback. “When did he find the time to shop?”


    Belinda looked excited. “After he found you, during the days you were giving him the cold shoulder, he


    dragged me along to a few baby stores. He picked out only the best stuff. But because of what


    happened with Sophia, he thought you might not want his gifts, so he stashed them at my ce first.


    He nned to give them to you when you’re about to deliver, so you couldn’t toss it out ahead of time.”


    Ellinor felt a touch of warmth in her heart and nodded slightly. “Alright, I’ll keep it.”


    Belinda beamed with satisfaction after hearing that Ellinor epted the gifts. “You wanted me to return


    it when you thought I bought it, but decided to keep it when you learned that my uncle was the one who


    bought it. Auntie, you really do like my uncle.”


    Ellinor’s cheeks flushed. She had made up her mind to reconcile with Theo, so there was no point in


    pretending anymore. “Yes! I have a love-hate rtionship with your uncle.”


    Belinda gave her a puzzled look. “What do you mean by love-hate?”


    Ellinor shrugged. “You know. When he’s not exactly your dream man, and some of his traits like his


    temper and actions can sometimes get on your nerves but you still choose to ept him.”


    Belinda pondered for a moment and then asked, “So, Uncle is not your dream man? What’s your ideal


    type then?”


    Feeling a bit tired while standing, Ellinor sat down on the couch with Baber. “I used to be drawn to more


    gentle men. Not the dominant ones.”


    Belinda sat next to her. “My uncle is not the gentle type you described. He’s more like a big bad wolf,


    and a dominant one at that. He really is far from your ideal type.”


    Ellinor shrugged helplessly. “Well, we already have a child together, so I have no choice but to live with


    him.”


    Belinda chuckled, knowing that when Ellinor said “live with him,” it wasn’t just in the literal sense.


    Suddenly, she noticed something moving in Ellinor’s belly. Out of curiosity, she lightly ced her hand


    on Ellinor’s belly and felt the baby move.
