But Theo had already spotted her. She had no choice but to go over, or she wouldnât have a way to explain why she didnât.
Ellinor sighed and walked over. âTheo, Iâm back Theo was sipping a cup of coffee when he glanced at her, âWhat did he tell you?â
Ellinor shook her head boredly. âNothing worth mentioning. Heâs too naiveâ
Theo suddenly felt unhappy. She had promised to tell him what Byran said when she returned. Was she lying to him?
Jonah patted the stool next to him, grinning âEllinor, have a seat. Letâs chat!â
Ellinor glanced at Jonah, she didnât want to chat with him at all. Heâd definitely make her uncomfortable.
Just then, Belinda ran over from a distance, âEllinor! Letâs pick a horse. Itâs cool in the morning and perfect for a horse race. Iâll get superâhot at noon!â
Ellinor looked at Belinda, then at Theo, and asked earnestly. âTheo, can I go?â
Although she wouldnât always obey Theo, he brought her here today, mainly to play the mole of his wife. So she had to respect his opinion.
If he let her go, she could leave his side.
Theo, who was originally upset with her for not telling the truth about Byran, felt happy again when he heard her asking for his permission He looked at her affectionately and nodded slightly, âGo have fun âThanks, Theo!â
After a small laugh, Ellinor turned around and followed Belinda to the stables.
Theo sipped his coffee, watching Ellinor until she was out of sight.
Jonah saw this and joked, âTheo, youâve become so gentle lately! What happened? Did Ellinor charm you?â
Theo glared at him, âDo you have a problem?â
Jonah shrugged, âNo problem, Iâm just curious about what magic Ellinor had to make you fall for her.â
Theo was expressionless, but he coldly replied to Jonah. âStop being so curious about other peopleâs wivesâ
Kemp spoke up. âHe just needs a woman to keep him in check!â
Jonah crossed his legs. âKemp, donât curse me just because you were once controlled by a woman!â
Kemp growled, âAre you asking for trouble?â
Bartlett stood up and laughed. âAlright, letâs not sit around. Letâs go horse riding. How about a race?â
Jonah leaned back in his chair, âBartlett, you guys go ahead. Itâs too hot for me!*
Bartlett laughed helplessly, âJonah, you arranged this outing. Why arenât you participating now?
Kemp said coldly, âIgnore him!â
Jonah retorted immediately, âKemp, how could you treat me like this?â
At the stables.
Among the hundreds of horses, Ellinor picked out a white one with a black spot on its forehead.
She was about to lead the white horse out when she heard someone say, âYou wonât be able to handle that horse. You better choose another one.â
It was Haillie
