Chapter 1421

After lunch, Ida went out to take a call again, leaving her alone in the hospital room.

Knock, knock!

The sound echoed through the quiet hospital room.

Ellinor knew that Ida wouldn’t knock when entering. Her eyes lit up with anticipation as she called out, “Come in!”

Bartlett came in, carrying a basket full of fine food delicacies. His handsome face was adorned with a warm smile.

“Ellinor, it’s been a while. Congratulations on the birth of your twins.”

Seeing that it was Bartlett who came in, the light in Ellinor’s eyes dimmed a little, and she forced a small smile.

“Um, thank you.”

Bartlett set the basket of food aside and walked over to her bedside.

“I’ve been quite busy recently, and I thought you still had some time before your due date, so I didn’t want to

disturb you. As soon as I had some free time, I gave Balfour a call, only to hear that you had already given birth, so

I rushed over to see you.”

Despite it all, Bartlett had always been considerate towards her, so Ellinor nodded appreciatively. “You’ve gone

through a lot of trouble. You didn’t have to come and see me, let alone bring such valuable gifts.”

“How could I come empty-handed?” Bartlett chuckled, then looked around and asked, “Where’s Theo? Why isn’t he

here with you?”

Ellinor fell silent.

After seeing her silence/Bartlett seemed to have guessed something. “Ahem… I must say, it’s not like Theo to miss

something as important as the birth of his children. No matter how busy he is, he should have prioritized this.”

Ellinor didn’t want to talk about that man now. It would just ruin her mood.

“Mr. Rex, there’s some bottled water over there. Feel free to help yourself. I’m not in a position to entertain you at

the moment.”

Bartlett laughed. “It’s fine. I’m not thirsty.”

With nothing else to say, Ellinor turned her gaze towards the window, watching as a plane trailed a long white line

across the blue sky.

“Ellinor, do you regret it?”

Bartlett’s gentle voice carried a hint of probing.

Ellinor was slightly taken aback and looked at him in surprise. “Regret what?”

Bartlett looked deeply into her eyes. “Do you regret choosing a man who doesn’t value you? A man who didn’t even

show up at such a crucial moment as the birth of his children.”

Ellinor’s brow furrowed. “He’s not as bad as you make him out to be! But yes, I am angry with him, and when he

gets back, I’m going to give him a piece of my mind!”

Bartlett gave a sarcastic smile. “And what if Theo doesn’t come back?”

Not come back? Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn’t he come back? This is his home; even if not for me, he

would definitely return.”

Bartlett looked at her meaningfully. “Ellinor, I’m not going to comment on whether you were right or wrong in

choosing Theo, but I want you to know that I’ll always be here for you. You always have a solid backup in me, and

you’re always welcome in my arms.”

Ellinor was speechless. She forced a smile. “Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to be saying all this to a woman

who’s just given birth?”

Bartlett smiled. “I don’t think so. I’m just trying to seize every opportunity to win myself a chance.”

Ellinor fell silent.

Bartlett was indeed strange. Most men would mind a woman’s past relationships, but Bartlett preferred women like

her, who had already had children. What a weird

man.

What kind of unique preference was this?

At this moment, Ida returned from her phone call. She saw Bartlett in the room, gave him a nod in

acknowledgement, greeted him, and then turned to Ellinor. “Boss, the doctor said you’re recovering well. You can

be discharged tomorrow.”

Ellinor nodded as a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She was about to be discharged, yet the man who promised to be with her in the delivery room hadn’t returned

yet.
