Did he have no shame?
He truly left Ellinor speechless.
Veronica and Moran were taken aback for a moment and then nodded to each other in silent agreement.
Then they watched as Theo, in an assertive manner, carried Ellinor upstairs.
Ellinor was, of course, reluctant, but she gave up struggling. From what she knew about this man, the more she struggled, the more embarrassing it would probably get.
She couldnât predict what this man might do next, so she decided to let it go..
After watching her brother and Ellinor disappear upstairs, Veronica broke down in tears again. Her brother was truly back.
Thank goodness!
At that moment, a tissue was handed to her. âCome on, wipe your tears. Your makeupâs all smudged.â
After coming back to her senses, Veronica looked at Moran. She pouted and looked wronged. âAhâ¦
My brother is disgusted with me. Youâre not going to be disgusted with me too, are you?â
Moran couldnât help but laugh at her antics.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Afraid she would overthink, he moved closer and wiped her tears for her. âSilly! How could I ever be disgusted with you?â
Veronica blushed and took the tissue to wipe her own tears. âThen stop staring at me. My makeup is smudged, and I look hideous.â
Moran chuckled. âNo, you look adorable. Like a little kitten.â
Veronicaâs face turned even redder. âStop teasing me! Ahem, by the way, what were you and my brother talking about earlier? Did he say how he came back?â
Moran shook his head. âHe didnât explain much. I just expressed my feelings for you to your brother.â
Veronica blinked. âYou⦠What did you say?â
Moran took her face in his hands. âI told him Iâm serious about you and that I want a future with you.â
Veronicaâs eyes flickered. âWhat did my brother say?â
Moran looked a bit vexed. âWell⦠he didnât seem too pleased with me. He didnât say much.â
Veronica wrapped her arms around Moranâs neck and rested her head on his shoulder. âIt doesnât matter! My brother doesnât get the final say; Ellinor does.â
Moran smiled. âEllinor said the same thing earlier, so Iâm not worried anymore. I was afraid your family wouldnât approve.â
Veronica tightened her grip around Moranâs neck. âEven if they donât agree, Iâm still going to marry you!
But with Ellinor around, they canât really object, especially my brother. Heâs a total softie around her.â
Softie?
Moran looked surprised. âI didnât quite get that impression earlier.â
âYouâll understand once you get to know him better. He might seem tough on the outside, but in front of Ellinor, heâs like putty. She can make him do anything.â Moran laughed. âWell, thatâs good then.â
Upstairs, Theo carried Ellinor straight into a guest room.
Their bedroom was currently occupied by four children playing around, so it wasnât really appropriate for certain activities.
As soon as she was laid down on the bed, Ellinor felt a wave of warmth enveloping her. She was under the manâs shadow, and their eyes were locked onto each other. âWhat are you planning to do to me in broad daylight?â
Theo wasnât in a rush, and he just pecked her on the cheek. âWhat do you think? Donât you know what I want to do?â
Ellinor frowned. âStop it! We have dinner soon. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us. Itâs not right.â
Theo couldnât help but laugh at her. âSo, little miss, youâre quite confident about my endurance, arenât you? You think I canât finish before dinner time, huh?â
