?Chapter 839:
That evening, Ellie received messages on her phone from many people expressing concern and asking questions.
Edwin asked, “Are you pregnant, Ellie?”
Jerome said, “Ellie! Congrattions!”
Susanna eximed, “Wow! I’m going to be an aunt soon! That’s amazing!”
Flossie asked, “Hey, El, is it true? Are you really pregnant? I can’t believe it!”
There were also messages from some wealthy young men she knew casually. Ellie felt unsure how to respond, so she asked Kaiden’s opinion.
Kaiden shrugged it off, telling Ellie to do what she felt was right.
Ellie decided to ignore the other messages while replying to those with whom she had a closer rtionship.
Meanwhile, Elliepleted her work in Parasti.
But Ellie and Baylee decided to stay for a few days to rx.
They received their food from the restaurant.
It was a restaurant that followed the Omakase style. Each day, the menu was crafted based on the chef’s mood and the fresh ingredients they had bought.
“Not bad,” Baylee said as she opened her lunch box.
Ellie tried some caviar. It didn’t taste fishy at all, and the hint of lemon made her, as a pregnant woman, feel even hungrier.
“I dined there during a business tripst year. Have they changed chefs? The food today is even better!” Ellie said cheerfully.
But there was something oddly familiar about the scent of the food.
Had she tasted it somewhere before?
Just then, the housekeeper knocked on the door and said, “Miss Gordon, there’s someone looking for you outside.”
“Is it Kaiden?” Baylee remembered that Kaiden had nned to meet Ellie in Parasti.
Ellie shook her head. “He’s been tied up with acquisitionstely. It can’t be him.”
Wrapping a thin nket around her shoulders, Ellie stepped out to see who it was.
Outside the gate stood a tall, slim figure. As dusk settled in, his shadow stretched out, reaching far across the ground. He seemed lonely, as if the world had left him behind.
