“Sophia, this doesn’t feel like a genuine invite. It’s more like you’re forcing me to accept. Are you implying that I’m

some cold-hearted witch if I don’t go?”

Sophia was left speechless by Ellinor’s rebuttal.

So, she handed the invitation to Collin, who was standing nearby, and turned back to Ellinor. “Ellinor, I really do

want you to come. Maybe I was a bit pushy and made you uncomfortable. I’m sorry. Here’s the invitation. Theo’s

friends will be at my birthday dinner too. I hope you can make it! I’ll get going now; I don’t want to disturb your

rest.”

After speaking, she turned to Collin and spoke in a friendly tone. “Collin, take good care of Ellinor while you’re here

for Theo, okay?”

Collin nodded. “I will.”

Sophia picked up her bag and left, smiling.

up he

Collin didn’t see her out because he didn’t want to upset Ellinor. He was left holding the invitation, unsure of what to

do next.

“Ms. Sophia and Mr. Blanchet are just ordinary friends. Please don’t misunderstand them. Sophia has lived abroad

since she was young. She may be a bit open and careless, but she’s a good person. They met while studying

abroad.”

Ellinor’s mouth twitched with sarcasm. “Friends? Does Mr. Blanchet usually get married to his friends?”

Collin was taken aback. “You already know it… Actually, that’s because…”

Ellinor cut him off. “You don’t have to explain! I don’t care what the reason was; I don’t want to know anymore.”

After saying this, Ellinor retreated to her room and slammed the door.

Collin was left with a helpless expression, sighing deeply.

Ellinor returned to her room and continued browsing baby products online, but her mood was more restless than

before. Even after seeing cute baby clothes, she felt no interest in buying them.

At night, Chase and Ida came home and found the invitation that Sophia had left.

Belinda and Byran also happened to visit, and the four of them discussed the intention behind the invitation.

Belinda said, “I know Sophia! She was a classmate of my uncle’s in college. I heard she once did him a big favor, so

he treats her as a friend. There’s nothing improper between them; I can vouch for that!”

Byran snorted. “What are you vouching for? You didn’t go to study with Theo, so how could you possibly know

everything? I think Theo is more polite to Sophia than he was to my sister before. She might be Theo’s first love!”

Belinda glared at Byran. “Stop talking nonsense! My uncle’s first love is Ellinor! He’s a very upright person!”

Byran looked skeptical. “Theo is so handsome! You really believe he’s still single at 30? All the girls in school are

crazy about him. Theo is a man, so who knows if he can resist such temptation.”

Belinda put her hands on her hips, retorting. “How do you know all the girls in school are into him? Have you had

any experience? You talk like you’re very experienced, didn’t you resist temptation?”

“I have no experience! Don’t slander me!” Byran quickly looked at Ida, afraid she would misunderstand, but Ida was

just looking at her phone, seemingly not listening to their conversation.

Belinda rolled her eyes. “You don’t want to be slandered, but you can slander my uncle? Be careful, or I’ll tell your

brother you’re harassing girls at school!”

Byran was left speechless. “You…”
