Chapter 1700
Ellinor sneezed several times on her walk, making her feel as if someone was talking about her.
She naturally thought it was her three little ones at home, or perhaps Veronica was wondering why she hadn’t
returned yet. The thought didn’t occupy her mind for long.
She waved goodbye to Balfour at the entrance of the Blanchet Villa, then swiftly turned and headed inside.
Inside the villa, Veronica was entertaining the three children with the Mechanical Hero Kite she had recently bought
online. After noticing that Ellinor had returned, she called out to the youngsters.
“Hey, you three little rascals! Your mom’s back. Let her take over and play with you guys now. The sun’s practically
roasting me out here.”
After hearing their aunt’s complaint, the kids instantly turned around to see Ellinor walking through the entrance,

The three kids dropped the kite and ran towards Ellinor.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Ellinor was instantly surrounded by her three little ones. She crouched down, spread out her arms, and gathered all
three into a warm hug. “Yes, Mommy’s back!”
Layla pouted in discontent. “Mommy, where did you go? You left us with Auntie again. She has a date later; she’s
been reminding us of that for ages.”
So, it was indeed Veronica who had been talking about her.
Ellinor looked up at Veronica, who had an umbrella held over her by a servant, and raised an eyebrow. “Why didn’t
you call me about your date?”
Veronica shrugged. “I did! But you didn’t answer any of my calls.”
Ellinor paused, remembering why her phone had been on silent, and a blush crept up her cheeks.
“I’m sorry; I didn’t see the calls. Now that I’m back, you can get ready for your date.”
Although Veronica was eager to meet Moran, who had been waiting for her for a while, she couldn’t help but tease
the three little traitors. “Humph! All of you forgot about your auntie the moment your mom showed up. You even
tattled about me to your mom, huh?”
Adrian looked innocent. “Auntie, my brother and I didn’t say anything. It was our little sister who talked. She’s the
one with the big mouth.”,
Upon hearing that her brother called her big-mouthed, Layla immediately felt a surge of anger. She put her hands
on her hips and retorted, “Who are you calling big-mouthed? Don’t forget that you and I look very alike. If I have a

Adrian rolled his eyes at his sister. “Whatever! I wasn’t talking about the size of your mouth, but your lack of
secrecy.”
This made Layla even angrier. “You’re the one who can’t keep a secret! If I want to keep something to myself, I can.
I won’t tell anyone!”
Adrian challenged her. “Like what?”
Annoyed, Layla huffed. “Like how I prefer the brother I had a few days ago when you weren’t around. I don’t like
you! You always bully me!”
“If you like him so much, go find him! I don’t like you either. You’re always chattering away and making noise. It was
so peaceful when I was staying with Dad a few days ago. If it weren’t for the fact that I missed Mom, I wouldn’t
have come back!”
Layla shouted, “You… you… you… you stinky brother! I’m not talking to you anymore!”
