Ellinor smirked. She unabashedly gobbled up the meat he'd cut for her and mumbled, "You knew I didn't wanna talk to you, yet you insisted on coming over?"
Bartlett slid a freshly cut piece of beef towards her, "That's exactly why I'm gonna try my best to make you wanna talk to me in the future."
Ellinor wasn't used to being fed, so she used a fork to pick up the meat before putting it in her mouth.
Without batting an eye at her defiance, Bartlett asked with a smile, "Want to know what's going on with the Blanchet family now?"
Ellinor paused, not saying a word.
She tried her best to avoid using her electronics all day. She didn't contact Chase or Ida, fearing Theo's people would track her down via satellite.
Even though she wasn't aware of what was happening with the Blanchet family, she had her suspicions.
The Blanchets were probably searching high and low for her; after all, she was carrying Theo’s baby. They wouldn't let his child be left out in the cold.
Not wanting to bring up the Blanchet family, Ellinor changed the subject. "The grilled meat here is really good. Where did you get it? Send me the address later!"
Bartlett arched an eyebrow, "If I gave you the address, would you actually go there? Weren't you planning on laying low and then skipping the country?"
Ellinor casually replied, "Oh right, I almost forgot!"
Bartlett clicked his tongue, "Thought you were having second thoughts and wanting to go back."
Once Ellinor decided to leave, she wouldn't go back. There was nothing to regret.
"Enough about me. Bartlett, can I interview you?"
