Ellinor waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more; just have the car ready for me at eight in the morning. And keep this trip a secret from Grandma; I don't want her to worry."
Collin hesitated a bit but didn't argue and just nodded, "Okay."
"Good, go do your thing."
"Alright."
Once Collin left, Ellinor leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. Man, she was beat!
She could have asked Chase to arrange the trip for tomorrow, but he said he was out of the country for research.
Ida wasn't in Greenhaven recently either; it wasn't worth it to have her rush back for such a small thing.
So, having Collin arrange it was the best option. As a member of the Blanchet family, him arranging her trip to Howard Mountain Villa could represent the Blanchet family's stance. After all, Theo was Baber's legal guardian, not her.
Baber, the poor kid, was under Xenia's control. Nobody could imagine what he was going through. But she hoped he was okay.
Ellinor gently rubbed her belly, as though she could feel the baby growing bit by bit inside her. Maybe it was because she was about to become a mom, but her maternal instincts seemed to be overflowing. She couldn't bear to see other kids suffer.
After sitting in her study for a while, Ellinor got up and walked out, just as Moran, who had just finished tutoring Veronica, and Veronica herself, who had come to see him off, were leaving.
Veronica, standing next to Moran, looked totally different from her usually proud self. She looked quite well-behaved.
Moran's eyes flickered after seeing her, "Ellinor."
Ellinor nodded with a small smile, "Mhm. Thanks for your hard work."
