Ellinor instantly froze, then nonchalantly crossed her arms and gave Byran a disdainful look âMr Howard, what do you think youâre doing?â
Byran appeared extremely uneasy, as if contemplating how to respond After half a minute, he finally blurted out, âEllinor, I want to pursue your Ellinor felt oddly calm, then boredly sized him up from head to toe, âAre you even legal?
Byran lifted his chin defiantly. âIn another six months, Ill be legall Ellinor yawned lazily âThen come find me when youâre legal!â
After saying that, she was ready to take off, clearly uninterested in carrying on the conversation.
But Pyran blocked her way with his arms, refusing to let her go.
Byran became serious âEllinor, stay away from Theo. He belongs to my sister! If youâre into rich guys, you can be with me. I can spoil you too, my family can give you whatever you needââ
Seeing that she couldnât escape his grasp, Ellinor leaned against a tree, looked at the boy in front of her, and chuckled.
âYou want me to be with you? You havenât even started working yet and youâre still living off your parents. What would I get from being with you? Would I have to support you?
Hearing Ellinorâs words, Byran felt humiliated but couldnât retort âIâm not a kid! Youâre only a few years older than me! When I have control over the finances, Iâll give you plenty of money to spend!â
Ellinor coldly watched the naive boy in front of her make his promises, and easily shrugged off his arm, âI appreciate your feelings, but I donât have time to wait for you to grow up Weâre not a good match!â
With that, she easily slipped away from Byran.
But Byran emphasized again, âEllinor, youâre not allowed to be with Theo. Heâs my sisterâs man!â
So the reason he said all that was because he wanted Theo for his sister. What he didnât know was that she was far from being his sisterâs rival. Her relationship with Theo was purely business, and it would end when the contract expired.
Thinking about this, Ellinor suddenly replayed what Theo had just said to her, âThen letâs not separate.â
He said it so casually that she didnât think he had thought it through.
Before this, Theo had mentioned many times that he wasnât interested in women like her. He could give her anything but feelings.
Clearly. Theo also didnât want to develop a more intimate relationship with her during their collaboration So what did he mean by ânot separatingâ?
Theoâs thoughts were always changing, and there were so many of them!
Ellinor paused, fell silent for two seconds, and calmly said, âYouâre overthinking it, Theo isnât mine, and I donât need to give him back to your sister! You should worry less about this and focus on your homework!â
Byran frowned and angrily retorted, âDonât underestimate me! Iâve already finished my homework!â
âThen stop showing up in front of me!â Ellinor, growing tired, quickly walked away But Byran kept following her, âEllinor, I donât care! Iâm going to start pursuing you from today. Just wait and see!â
Ellinor laughed, âYou want to chase me? First, get into a good college, and then we can talk about it! I like boys who are good at academics; otherwise, I worry it might affect my kids 1Q.â
As she spoke, she tapped her temple, clearly mocking Byranâs intelligence.
Byran was so angry that he started shaking. âEllinor! What do you mean? Iâm very smart!â
Ellinor ignored him and while humming a tune, she leisurely walked away.
Byran stood in place, frowning, then clenched his fist So itâs just about getting into a good college, that was not hard for him.
Ellinor, just wait You will be mine.
When Ellinor returned, she saw Theo sitting under a beach umbrella, casually chatting with Jonah and the other guys.
She really didnât want to approach them. Jonah always brought up embarrassing topics, and he would definitely make fun of Theo and her.
