Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401

“You used to leave me hanging for so long without even a peep. Do you know how I felt? Now I’m going to give you a taste of your own medicine. Just wait; you’ll see me when I come back. You won’t just see me; you’ll be able to touch me too.”

Ellinor frowned. “Stop talking nonsense. If you don’t video call me, I’m really gonna lose it!”

Theo chuckled. “Chill, let me take a bath and rest. I’m beat. For a video call, I have to get dressed, even if it’s just my face. Don’t you think it would be a bit awkward for both of us?”

At the mention of him being tired, Ellinor backed down and began pouting. “Fine, go take your bath.

Forget about the video call; I don’t even want to see you anymore. Humph!”

With that, she hung up and let him take his bath in peace.

Ellinor felt a tinge of unease as she looked at the ‘call ended’ on her phone’s screen.

But Theo’s tone was relaxed when he spoke to her, so everything seemed normal. There was probably nothing to worry about.

She’d call him again before bed.

About half an hour later, Ellinor called again. Theo picked up, but his voice sounded a bit drowsy, so she assumed he was really tired. They said goodnight, and she hung up.

Then she went to sleep.

In her dream, she saw him getting beaten up and got so mad that she picked up a stick and started fighting the guy.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Thaddeus’ wife sent a wheelchair over for Theo and arranged for someone to help him get into the car and head to the City Hall in M State.

Sophia was reluctant to get into the car, but with things having escalated to this point, she had no choice but to get in the car, in fear of what might happen. between her father and Theo..

She was also afraid that her father might lose his temper and kill Theo for her sake She had no choice but to compromise and follow them to City Hall.

In the car, Theo was silent and looked unwell due to the pain in his body.

Sophia turned her head to look at him, feeling a great deal of heartache and melancholy.

“Theo, after all these years, have you really just seen me as a friend with no other feelings?”

She asked, seemingly unwilling to let it go.

“No.” Theo answered without hesitation, not wanting to waste another word.

Sophia gave him a bitter smile. “But I’ve never seen you as just a friend. I’ve been smitten with you from the get-go. You know?”

“I wasn’t aware.”

“Theo, from the first time I saw you, I felt something for you, but you seemed so hard to approach. So I chose to be friends with you, thinking that one day I might win you over.”

“It’s too late for all that now.”

“Love isn’t a race. I was here first! Why does Ellinor get to…”

“I met her long ago. She saved my life many years ago.”

“What good does marrying a country bumpkin like her do for your life? She’s not right for you!”
