    Bartlett understood what she meant. She wouldn’t even message him when she got home. All he could


    do was give a bitter smile and sigh. He watched her and the kids get in the car and drive away.


    The car was already far away when Chase’s armnded on Bartlett’s shoulder. “Let’s go, Mr. Rex. I’ll


    take you home.”


    Bartlett snapped back to reality and gave him a small smile. “Well, I hate to impose and act as a third


    wheel for you two.”


    Chase nced at Belinda, who was already blushing in the passenger seat, as his smile deepened.


    ‘When Ellinor arrived at the nchet Vi with the kids, Marissa nchet was already waiting in the


    living room.


    “Ellinor, why are you home sote today? Dinner’s ready. We were just waiting for you. I’ll have the


    kitchen warm up the food. You go get the kids washed up and ready for dinner.”


    Veronica was also at home. She came over to help with the kids.


    “Grandma, you and Grandpa go ahead and eat. I’ll eatter. Veronica, can you take the kids to eat with


    Grandpa and Grandma while I go upstairs? I have some things to take care of.”


    Veronica nodded. “Sure!”

    The kids were all well-behaved, and even though they weren’t hungry, they followed their aunt to join


    their great-grandparents for dinner.


    Ellinor rushed upstairs.


    After watching her granddaughter-inw’s retreating figure, Marissa couldn’t help but worry, “What’s


    gotten into Ellinortely? She seems so distracted.”


    Veronica also looked at the hurried steps of her sister-inw andforted her grandma. “It must be


    because she’s busy at work. Grandma, don’t worry; Ellinor is very capable. Nothing is too much for


    her.”


    Marissa sighed with concern. “Oh, poor Ellinor.”


    Back in her room, Ellinor quickly shed her restrictive work clothes and flopped onto the bed, checking


    her phone for messages.


    He still hadn’t replied.


    So annoying!


    She didn’t really have anything to do. She just felt restless and wanted some alone time.


    Without a reply, she tossed her phone aside with a scowl and went to take a bath.


    At the hotel, Marcus had finished dinner with Adrian and Sophia and was preparing to head back to his


    room.


    Sophia wanted to spend more time with him. It was rare that he would discipline the child for her. She


    hadn’t had enough of it.


    “Marcus, it’s still early. It’s only a little past eight; you won’t be able to sleep if you take Tristan back to


    the room this early. Why don’t you stay and chat with me for a while?”


    Marcus’s face showed clear fatigue. “I’m quite tired today. I want to sleep early. We can talk in the


    morning.”


    Having said that, Sophia had nothing more to say. “Alright… Oh, by the way, Marcus. My father will be


    coming to visit us in a couple of days. He’ll probably stay at this hotel too. When he’s here, we can’t


    sleep in separate rooms anymore. I understand you, but my father won’t. If he finds out that we’re


    sleeping separately, he’ll be angry with you.”


    Marcus paused for a moment, then responded without turning to look at her. “Alright, I understand. I’ll


    cooperate with you when the timees.”


    Sophia smiled. “Marcus, as long as you understand my father, it’s fine. Well, if you’re tired, go to sleep


    early.”


    Marcus didn’t look back. He took Adrian back to their room and shut the door.


    His gaze darkened. Thaddeus wasing. He wouldn’t have the chance to continue his physical


    therapy.
