Chapter 1166
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?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllinor 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?”
A glint of amusement flashed in Bartlett’s eyes. “Interview me? Sure, what do you want to ask?”
Ellinor looked around the two-bedroom apartment. “You said this was where you grew up, but isn’t the Rex family a
big clan? Why were you living in such a basic place?”
Bartlett paused slightly, though his hands didn’t stop. “Didn’t Theo tell you? I’m not the Rex family’s biological son.”
Ellinor was taken aback. “He didn’t tell me! What’s the deal? Were you adopted by the Rex family?”
Bartlett chuckled. “You could say that. The Rex family elders are my adoptive parents. They had a son, but he died

Due to some special circumstances, my adoptive father couldn’t have children anymore, so they chose an heir
from their relatives’ children.
I was originally the child of a distant relative of the Rex family. My parents died, and as an orphan, I was chosen to
be sent to the Rex family and raised as an heir.
And this house was my biological parents’ home.”
So that was what happened.
Ellinor looked at Bartlett, feeling a sense of kinship.
Being chosen as an heir by wealthy relatives may seem lucky, but he probably couldn’t do whatever he wanted like
those rich kids.
Both of them were raised in other people’s homes, and they both felt out of place.
Ellinor asked again, “So how old were you when the Rex family took you in?”
Bartlett replied, “I was about seven or eight, so I remember a lot about my biological parents.”
