Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284

Theo didn’t let go of her, and he whispered, “I didn’t mean to deceive you. I had forgotten about getting the marriage certificate for a long time and only remembered it because I wanted to get mamed to you here in our home country.

I just wanted to tell you about it in detail after I canceled the marriage certificate with Sophia. I was afraid that if I told you beforehand, you would get angry and ignore me. Especially now that you’re pregnant. I didn’t want to upset you.

Because I knew very well that it was a situation that would hurt you.”

After listening to Theo, Ellinor was silent for a long time before she spoke.

“Mr. Blanchet, you’ve never actually believed that I could understand you. Now, I don’t care whether you and Sophia have any real relationship. There’s no trust between us anymore.”

With that, she tried to push Theo’s big hand off her, eager to escape this disturbing car.

When Bartlett returned with the bottled water, Ellinor was nowhere to be found.

He got worried, so he started looking around the venue but still found no sign of her. Then he ran into Sophia, who was drinking heavily.

He pulled Sophia aside. “Have you seen Ellinor?”

Sophia was taken aback. “Ellinor? Wasn’t she with you?”

Bartlett replied honestly. “I went to get her some water, and when I came back, she was gone.”

Sophia didn’t really care about where Ellinor went, but it suddenly crossed her mind that Theo had also left.

It seemed Bartlett also realized this, so he asked, “Where’s Theo? Where is he now?”

“Theo said he had something to take care of and left! But I’ll give him a call and see if he’s seen Ellinor!”

Bartlett nodded. He also suspected that Theo might have taken Ellinor away, but he didn’t feel it was his place to make the call.

Sophia and Bartlett moved to a quieter place, and she dialed Theo’s number.

The phone rang for a long time without an answer.

She felt like something was off, so she dialed again, and after a long ring, someone finally picked up.

“What do you want?”

Theo’s voice was very low; he sounded somewhat impatient.

Sophia didn’t know what was going on, but she asked, laughing, “Theo, we can’t find Ellinor. Bartlett is looking everywhere for her. Did you see her when you left?”

‘No.’

Theo replied coldly and hung up the phone.

Sophia shrugged helplessly at Bartlett. “Can’t help it! Theo says he hasn’t seen Ellinor.”

Bartlett narrowed his eyes; he didn’t believe Theo.

Knowing Theo as he did, even if Theo hadn’t seen Ellinor, he wouldn’t have been indifferent to the news of her disappearance. Therefore, Ellinor must have been with Theo.

“Sophia, the hotel should have surveillance cameras. As the host of the banquet, you should have the authority to check.” Sophia thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s check the surveillance footage now and see if Ellinor left early.”
