    Chapter 1566


    Ellinor shot him a nce. “Just for fun. You used to be like this with me. Now it’s my turn to tease you.”


    Marcus slightly furrowed his brows, remaining silent.


    He didn’t remember how he used to treat this youngdy, so he couldn’t respond.


    At that moment, a cell phone rang. Ellinor picked it up and answered.


    Because it was quiet on the balcony, even without the speakerphone on, Marcus could hear the man’s


    voice on the other end of the line.


    “Ellinor, where are you?”


    Ellinor looked thoughtfully at Marcus before answering. “At a friend’s ce. What’s up? You need


    something?”


    Bartlett replied with a smirk. “Didn’t you sayst time that you wanted to check out Rex Enterprises’


    property in Blue River Estates? Let’s go. I can take you there


    now.”


    Ellinor nced at her wristwatch. “Sure. Where should I meet you?”


    “Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”


    “No need. I’ll meet you there.”


    “Alright, I’ll send you the location.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call with Bartlett, Ellinor put her phone into her pocket, looking ready to leave.


    Marcus watched her with mixed emotions. “Got a date?”


    Ellinor stood up. “Something came up. I need to go. Be careful when you take a showerter, and take


    care of Adrian for me.”


    With that, Ellinor moved to the edge of the balcony and gracefully hopped over.


    Marcus felt a heaviness in his chest as he watched Ellinor leave. He was inexplicably irritated.


    The call was from a man, and the way they spoke with each other didn’t sound like they were just


    professional acquaintances.


    They seemed close and were very friendly to each other.


    When Adrian came back after setting up the bath, he couldn’t find Ellinor anywhere. He started looking


    around for his mom.


    “Where’s Mommy?”


    “She left.” Marcus responded with a heavy tone.


    Adrian was disappointed. “What? Mommy left without even saying goodbye?”


    Marcus coldlyughed. “She was in a rush to meet a man. She doesn’t care about anyone else.”


    Adrian was taken aback. He tilted his head, sensing that his usually aloof dad seemed off. “Daddy, are


    you… jealous?”

    Jealous?


    Marcus was startled. Was this ufortable feeling jealousy?


    Ellinor arrived at a bar to pick up Bartlett.


    With his charming smile on full disy, Bartlett got into Ellinor’s car and buckled up. “Ellinor, thank you


    for going out of your way to pick me up.”


    Ellinor shook her head to indicate it was no trouble. After ncing at the bar’s sign, shemented,


    “Mr. Rex, you sure lead an interesting life. Why are you drinking at a bar in broad daylight?”


    Bartlett didn’t hide it. “A few friends wanted to meet here for a drink. I barely had a sip before I called


    you. It was a good excuse to duck out.”


    Ellinor wasn’t particrly interested in his life. She didn’t react, only asking, “We’re headed to Blue


    River Estates?”


    Bartlett nodded. “Yes.”.
