“Because you said outside you were worried Putnam and Marissa might interrupt our chit-chat, that's why I brought you to this soundproof room. Is there something you wanna get off your chest? Don't worry. No one can hear us in here.”
Is this room really soundproof?
Hearing this, Haillie couldn't help but think a lot. She thought Ellinor was shameless, implying she and Theo were lovey-dovey!
However, Ellinor had no such intention and just continued munching her lunch.
Haillie, arms crossed, watched her eat with disgust. "Ellinor, are you knocked up?"
Ellinor paused for a second, then smiled, "Yep, I am."
Haillie frowned and started to question, "Does Theo know about this? Do the elders of the Blanchet family know?"
Ellinor replied, "Of course Theo knows, but the Blanchet family's old folks might not. We haven't made it public yet, afraid they might freak out."
Haillie looked at her, puzzled and scoffed, "Ellinor, I've never met a woman as shameless as you. You did such a thing without feeling guilty, and you're even acting all high and mighty."
Ellinor didn't understand what she meant, chewed on her meat, then glanced at her, "Haillie, how am I shameless? If you're gonna call me names, at least have a reason."
Haillie was getting annoyed, "Isn't there enough evidence?"
