Chapter 1345 Now, Ellinor was just sitting by herself, quietly sipping her coffee.Theo walked over, squatted down, and whispered to her. âThis coffee is cold. You canât gulp it down all at once; youâll feel sick.â Ellinor scrunched up her face, trying to dismiss his kindness. âItâs fine!â Theo knew she was just trying to rile him up, but he didnât get mad. âSweetie, half a cup is enough. You sit here and sip. Iâm going to check on the investigation, alright?â Ellinor made a noncommittal sound, seeming a bit distracted. Theo rubbed her head and then turned to walk down the police station corridor. After Theo left, Veronica helped Marissa sit next to Ellinor. Ellinor just gave Marissa a small smile, not seeming very warm. Marissa sighed deeply. âEllinor, I heard what you said to Sophia just now.â Ellinor looked at the older woman. âDid I shatter your image of me? Do you think Iâm not treating Theo well?â Marissa shook her head. âEllinor, I know youâre a good, honest girl. I also understand why you left without a word. I knew about Theo and Sophiaâs marriage, but I didnât tell you because I was afraid youâd get angry and leave Theo. Ellinor, I didnât mean to keep it from you. I knew Theo was forced to marry by his grandfather; he really had no choice. But if he didnât do it, his grandpa wouldnât have the surgery.â
Ellinor listened to her while intermittently sipping her coffee through a straw.
Marissa continued, âEllinor, you might not know, but since you left, Theoâs been in a daze. I havenât seen him smile once, and he sends people to look for you every day. Iâve seen it clearly; youâre his life!
And I can tell you still have feelings for Theo. You two are clearly in sync, so why let misunderstandings come between you? Ellinor, why donât you come home with me?â Ellinor shook her head. âNo, Iâm not going back yet.â Marissa looked disappointed. âWhatâs the matter? Arenât you willing to give Theo a chance to make amends?â âHeâs still married to another woman. I wonât live with a married man. When heâs divorced, Iâll go back.â Upon hearing this, Marissa felt like there was finally hope for the two of them. âEllinor, I understand how you feel right now. But if you donât come home, where will you stay?
Youâre almost due. Iâm really worried about you staying somewhere else.â Ellinor replied, âDonât worry, Iâm in good health and have a good place to stay. The baby will be fine.â Marissa wasnât planning on forcing her, but she felt like Ellinor may have misunderstood something. âEllinor, Iâm not just concerned about the baby in your belly but also about your own health. Childbirth is extremely dangerous for a woman. Iâm worried that there are no other female relatives to take care of you, especially since itâs your first time. Itâs making me very anxious.â âThank you for your concern, but I really donât have any issues. Until Theo sorts out his personal matters, I wonât set foot in the Blanchet villa. Thatâs my decision; I hope you can understand.â
