The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1183

Chapter 1183 

Theo gave strangers the cold shoulder most of the time. 

The issue now was that she was eight months pregnant, and if she went out and about, she would stick out like a sore thumb. She was a walking billboard! 

If she didn’t go, the Blanchet Corporation wouldn’t cough up the final payment, and Crescent Society would be up shit creek without a paddle; they would even be on the brink of going belly up. 

This was the company she had busted her hump to build from the ground up. How could she bear to watch it crash and burn? 

Besides, she had a kid on the way now and needed the company so she could bring home the bacon. 

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn’t figure out a perfect solution for love or money 

Just then, the doorbell rang at the villa. 

Ellinor snapped back to reality and was immediately on high alert. Who could that be? 

There was usually no one coming here except for the supply truck sent by Bartlett 

But they just dropped off supplies yesterday. There was no way they’d send someone again today 

Ellinor watched with a furrowed brow as the servant went to answer the door. 

After seeing the servant bow respectfully to the visitor, Ellinor finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

It was Bartlett! 

But what the heck was he doing here? 

This place was a stone’s throw from the city. It took two hours to drive here and another two to drive back. Didn’t he find the drive annoying? 

And she had made it crystal clear to him before that she didn’t need him to check up on her all the time. If there was any problem, she would reach out to him. 

Even if it was Bartlett, if he started showing up more often than not, he would get on Theo’s radar 

Theo had Greenhaven under lock and key, waiting to nab her 

Bartlett better not be here to stir up trouble! 

Bartlett walked in with a friendly grin, holding a takeout box. “Ellinor, guess what I brought you?” 

Ellinor frowned, already having a bee in her bonnet about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and now she had to deal with Bartlett making a mountain out of a molehill. She couldn’t help but feel imitated. “Why are you here again?” 

Bartlett pouted, looking wronged. “What do you mean ‘why am I here again? I haven’t been here since last month! I thought you might be craving something to eat, so I got you your favorite BBQ And you’re giving me the cold shoulder?” 

Ellinor grumbled ‘Do you think I want to risk being found by Theo just for food?”*
