Ellinor was dumbfounded.
What on earth was he saying?! How could he say such things in front of someone who was basically her brother-in-law?
Ellinor pushed him with all her strength, trying to break free from his grasp.
The man wouldnât let go, and she couldnât free herself.
Just then, Devin returned.
âEllinor, I found what you were looking for.â
At the sound of his voice, all three of them turned to look at Devin.
In Devinâs hand were garlic..
Only then did Ellinor find an excuse for the man to let go of her. âLet go of me. Canât you see what Iâve been waiting for is here?â
The man didnât know what she was going to do, but he obediently let go of her.
Ellinor stood up, took the garlic from Devin, and turned to swat them over Theo.
The man paused slightly but didnât dodge because her hits didnât hurt.
After swatting him with the garlic for a while, Ellinor handed them back to Devin and instructed him to throw them away.
Then, she sat back down in her original spot and said, âYou just got back from being in a place that was holding you captive. This should help get rid of any bad energy.â
The man listened and smiled slightly. âHmm, I really have a thoughtful wife. Now that the bad energy is gone, can we return to our room?â

It was so embarrassing for poor Moran.
Moran indeed felt awkward, but he was genuinely happy for Ellinor. The man she had spent three years waiting for was finally back. It wasnât easy.
He wisely stood up. âEllinor, it seems like you and Mr. Blanchet have something to do, so Iâll leave first.
If Veronica comes looking for me later, please tell her Iâll see her tomorrow.â
Upon seeing Moran leave, Ellinor felt a bit embarrassed and tried to make him stay. âWould you like to stay for dinner? We are not busy; he was just joking. Donât take it seriously.â
When Theo saw Ellinor talking to Moran, who once had feelings for her, his gaze turned unfriendly. His big hand circled around Ellinorâs waist from behind.
âDinner time is still far off. We really do have some things to attend to.â
His suggestive words made Ellinor blush. She had enough and then turned to whisper in his ear. âHe is now Veronicaâs boyfriend. Heâs your future brother-in-law. As the elder brother-in-law, carryou behave properly in front of him? Really!â
Upon hearing this, Theoâs eyes narrowed as he took another look at Moran. His tone was still serious, but no longer hostile. âWhen did you two get together?â
Being questioned by his girlfriendâs brother, Moran, who was about to leave, sat back down obediently.
âNot long ago. Itâs still a sort of new relationship.â
Theo raised an eyebrow. âWhat do you like about her?â
Moran felt a bit awkward. âUh⦠I canât quite put it into words.â
Theo snorted. âYou dare to court our familyâs girl without being sure of your feelings? Are you even serious?â
Moran looked determined. âI am serious about Veronica. Feelings are hard to express. Mr. Blanchet, can you express why you love Ellinor?â
