âYouâre too kindâ
Ellinor didnât even lift her head, just casually responding Theo, hand on his forehead squinted at her. âDid you learn this before?â
His question carried a hint of probing Because it was unusual that Ellinor could play the violin so well Choosing Ellinor to be Mrs Blanchet was an accident, but after this accident, he had people investigate her background The Mendoza family was middleâclass, but Ellinor was an overlooked illegitimate daughter, raised by rural relatives since childhood. Her upbringing did not afford her to learn classical instruments.
And just now, at the class reunion, the piece she played on the violin, without seven to eight years of solid practice, couldnât reach that level.
This girl was full of contradictions, making people feel she was not simple But Ellinor didnât care about the manâs scrutinizing gaze, just sulkily looking at the expenditure bill on her phone.
She just paid the bill at the class reunion, and now her wallet was empty, with only over eighty dollars left on her bank card!
And the culprit who made her poor was the man sitting next to her!
The man was still making sarcastic remarks, saying her violin playing was good, really!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Ellinor got, âMr Blanchet, weâre not really married What Iâve learned or not is none of your business! After three months, weâll go our separate ways Why are you asking so much?â
Reprimanded by Ellinor, Theo frowned, âMs Mendoza, I just paid the compensation for a violin for you.
Why are you so unfriendly to me?â
Whatâs wrong with her attitude? Sheâs been very polite!
Ellinor glared at him, âMr Blanchet, that violin was broken by you, if you donât compensate, should I compensate?â
Theoâs face darkened, feeling misunderstood for the first time.
Ellinor grumbled angrily. âAnd if it werenât for you, I wouldnât have had to pay for dinner today spending all my living expenses!â
So thatâs why she was unhappy Theo raised his eyebrows, and teasingly smiled, âMs Mendoza, arenât you happy to have a gathering with your classmates? Youâre unhappy because you have to pay?â
âDo I have to pay for a gathering? Mr Blanchet, do you think everyone can be as lavish with money as you?â
Ellinor frowned, clearly dissatisfied. âItâs not a small gathering of a few people. Itâs a large class reunion where everyone defaults to splitting the bill. Because of your word, I lost a monthâs salary! Humph!â
Since they reached an agreement, Ellinor has always been patient in front of him, trying to avoid conflicts.
But today, he saw her getting genuinely angry.
Her resentful look, because of no money, made him think she was cute.
âIâll transfer all the money you spent today to you.â Theo calmly said.
âReally?â Ellinorâs eyes lit up. She immediately showed him her bank account number and entered the exact amount.
Theo She reacted really quickly, without any politeness!
Ellinor didnât think she needed to be polite with Theo. It wasnât her money to pay!
Theo jokingly pretended to be her parent, claiming she would pay, and her classmates misunderstood, If she didnât pay and left, it would look like sheâs avoiding the bill!
But if she paid, sheâll be broke!
Although she still had some money at Chaseâs, that money was buying her motherâs painting, not for spending!
Theo lightly laughed, took out his phone, and transferred the total amount she spent today.
Seeing the money in her account, Ellinorâs mood improved significantly Her previously scowling face fnstantly relaxed, and she started talking more âSir, do you know your actions today made my classmates think youâre my sugar daddy?â Sugar daddy?
Theo frowned, âWhat? Do I look like an old sugar daddy?â
Ellinor shook her head âThatâs not what I meant! Because you neither look nor are old enough to be my dad, they misunderstood, thinking youâre a sugar daddy whoâs keeping me for some benefits.â
After hearing her say this, Theo realized she might have been mistreated at the class reunion. He frowned.
