Chapter 1517


    Chapter 1517


    Had it just been Ida, things might have been okay. She could have indulged in a deep conversation, but


    if the news hit the gossip mills of Veronica and Belinda, those two chatterboxes, it would be nothing


    short of a disaster.


    If Marissa and Putnam got wind of the situation, they wouldn’t keep quiet either.


    “Nothing happened. It’s just that work has been so demanding that I’m a bit exhausted.” She replied


    nonchntly.


    Belinda pouted and crossed her arms. “If you’re feeling tired, then don’t go to the office. Why should a


    woman like you, who’s raising three kids, bear such a burden?”


    Taking a sip of her coffee, Ellinor replied, “I’ve only just taken over. Things will settle down once I get


    the hang of it.”


    Belinda cared for her and felt indignant on her behalf. Just then, Veronica nudged Belinda, reminding


    her to stick to the point.


    Belinda then changed the topic. “Ahem, I have a friend who’s really nice. He’s a brilliant psychologist. If


    you’re free this weekend, would you like to join me for a chat at his office?”


    A psychologist?


    Ellinor arched an eyebrow. “And why are you suddenly introducing me to a psychologist?”


    Belinda giggled. “Because my friend is really handsome and kind. Whenever I’m feeling down, I chat


    with him, and my mood instantly brightens up.”


    Ellinor didn’t think she needed a psychologist, but it reminded her of her son, Adrian.


    Ever since Adrian was scolded for his reckless behavior, he hadn’t been himself. Perhaps he needed a


    psychologist’s intervention.


    With this in mind, she nodded. “Alright, this weekend, if I have time, I’lle with you to meet your


    friend. Let’s see if he’s as handsome as you say.”


    “Great! We’ll set a time this weekend.” Belinda grinned, exchanging a knowing look with Veronica.


    Their mission had been aplished.


    As long as Ellinor was open to going to the psychologist, initiating a conversation should be no


    problem.


    After chatting with Belinda for a while, Ellinor’s cup of coffee was empty. She set it down and turned to


    Ida, who was holding baby La.


    “Ida, give La to Veronica. I need to talk with you!”


    Idaplied, cooing at La to go y with her aunt for a while, then followed Ellinor upstairs.


    Once in Ellinor’s room, Ida dutifully closed the door, asking, “Boss, do you have some instructions for


    me?”


    Ellinor didn’t rush to answer. She slowly moved to the floor-to-ceiling windows of her bedroom, staring


    into the dark night.


    “Ida, you, Chase, and I have known each other since we were kids. We’ve weathered many storms


    together, and I think we trust each other implicitly, right?”


    Ida joined Ellinor by the window. “Absolutely.”


    Ellinor gave her a smallugh. “Yet you and-Chase, along with others, have deceived me!”


    Ida was taken aback. “Boss…”


    Ellinor continued. “I was sure I had given birth to triplets. Yet everyone told me I had twins. For three


    years, I was the only one who didn’t know that I lost a child!”

    Ida hung her head in shame. “I’m sorry. When Mr. nchet disappeared, it was already hard on you.


    We were afraid that if you knew you lost a child, it would be even harder.””
