Ellinor felt a bit helpless about the insecure kid. To get him to sleep as soon as possible, she reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll be right here. You can sleep soundly. When you wake up in the morning, we'll have breakfast together."
"Okay..." Baber agreed, slowly closing his eyes and before drifting off to sleep quietly.
The next morning came too soon.
Just as Ellinor had promised Baber the night before, after waking up and freshening up, she led him downstairs for breakfast.
Baber had just arrived at the Blanchet villa and was still feeling a bit out of place. Even though the Blanchet family's elders all loved children, he still felt scared and only wanted to be with Ellinor.
After breakfast, Ellinor and Baber had some counseling sessions, and then she handed him over to Veronica to look after. She had some stuff to do and needed to go to the company to discuss some matters with Chase and Ida.
However, when she opened the door, she found the entrance blocked by Collin and a bunch of bodyguards.
Collin bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Good morning, Ellinor."
Ellinor frowned confusingly, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at work?"
Collin replied, "I am at work. Mr. Blanchet arranged for us to be here."
Ellinor raised an eyebrow unhappily, "What's he got you guys doing here? Where is he?"
Collin answered, "Mr. Blanchet flew to M State last night. He arranged for us to be here around the clock to ensure your safety before he left."
Ellinor thought, “He flew to M State overnight?
Didn't he ever get tired?
Was he going to see his legitimate wife over there?
