Ellinor sighed a bit. âAlright then, what song do you want to hear? I can play it for you, so our phone conversation wonât be too awkward or boring when we run out of things to talk about.â
Theo didnât feel awkward or bored at all. Even just hearing her shallow breaths was good company and comfort to him.
âI want to hear âThrough It Together.â;
Ellinor searched for the song title on her music player. After finding a lot of songs with the same name, she asked again, âWho sings this one?â
Theo replied, âChristopher.â
Ellinor found the song he was talking about and clicked play. The music started.
After listening for a bit, Ellinor suddenly felt a bit emotional. âI never really thought we had a big generation gap before, but now that Iâm listening to this song that you requested, I really feel it. Weâre not listening to music from the same era. Hahaha.â
The sound of Theoâs typing suddenly stopped. He paid attention to what she just said. âAre you saying Iâm old again?â
Ellinor sighed. âEven if I think youâre old, thereâs nothing I can do about it. Itâs a fact that youâre older.â
Theoâs face suddenly turned serious, and the atmosphere in the car became heavy.
As an adult man, he didnât care about a but in front of this young girl, he did mind that he was much older.
After noticing that Theo had stopped talking, Ellinor laughed. âWhy arenât you speaking? Youâre not mad, are you?â
âNo.â
Ellinor continued. âAlthough the song you chose is a bit old, itâs still pretty good, especially the lyrics.
Theyâre very fitting.â
The lyrics to âThrough It Togetherâ were very well written and really fitting.
Theo didnât reply to her but instead asked, âWhat do you like to listen to? Let me hear what you young people like.â
âYou might not like the songs I like.â
âNot necessarily; play it and letâs hear.â
Ellinor then played a high-decibel rap song for him.
Theo was at a loss for words.
He really couldnât appreciate this kind of noisy music.
The two of them continued to share music with each other and chatted every now and then, and before they knew it, three hours had passed.
The car arrived at Sophiaâs fatherâs house, Thaddeus Manor.
After telling Ellinor, âIâm here,â Theo put the phone that was still on the call in his pocket and got out of the car.
Outside the manor gate, there were already people arranged by Thaddeus waiting for his arrival.
âMr. Blanchet, we welcome your arrival. Our master had us waiting for you Theo nodded slightly. âTake me to your master.â
âOf course, Mr. Blanchet, please follow me.â
The man bowed slightly, making a very polite gesture.
Theo, with his entourage, followed him into Thaddeus Manor.
Finally, he came to a huge gym and saw Thaddeus, who was working out.
Even though Thaddeus was old, he still kept in good shape. Strong people were often very disciplined.
The young man leading the way reported, âSir, the Mr. Blanchet youâve been waiting for is here.â
Thaddeus put down his dumbbell and began smiling while looking at Theo. âMy son-in-law is here.
