When Ellinor came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet, she noticed only Belinda was there and instinctively looked around for Thea Belinda leaned in and said, âEllinor, Uncle just left. Heâs probably off to give Haillieâthat wicked woman a piece of his mind, all for your Ellinor froze and her brow furrowed Haillie was indeed nasty. She was sly and cunning pretending to be sweet while plotting Today, she even tried to kill Ellinor But, Theo, Haillie, and Jonah had been friends for many years. He wouldnât ruin the friendship just for her, a pawn who would be gone in three months.
Besides, Haillie was Patriciaâs bestie, and Patricia was the girl Theo had a crush on. He wouldnât do anything to Haillie.
As Ellinor was thinking. Belinda, grinning from ear to ear, grabbed her and said, âEllinor, let me dry your hair for you!â
âNo need. I let it dry naturally Ellinor casually rubbed her semiâwet hair with a towel.
But Belinda shook her head and said seriously, âNo way! The nights here are chilly If you go to bed with wet hair, youâll catch a cold! Plus, Uncle told me to take good care of you if you catch a cold and he hears you sneezing when he comes back, heâd blame me for sure!â
Belinda was overthinking, especially when it came to her and Theoâs relationship!
Ellinor had no choice but to let Belinda dry her hair. Belinda pushed her into a chair and started blowâ
drying her hair.
The hairdryer Belinda brought didnât make much noise and didnât interfere with their conversation. It was pretty good âEllinor, I saw that you guys brought back a bear from the valley. Are you going to roast it and eat it?â
Eat it?
With the right amount of heat and wind from the hairdryer, Ellinor, feeling sleepy, lazily answered, âThatâs an endangered animal, we canât eat it. If I hadnât stopped your uncle today, he would have killed itâ
Belinda was a bit surprised, âEllinor, you are so kind. Only you can handle my uncle like that!â
Ellinor was puzzled, âWhat do you mean?â
âHe didnât kill the bear because you stopped him. You donât know, but my uncle is a famous wildlife hunter. He hunts in the tropical jungles abroad every year to practice his shooting skills, and he never shows mercy to any wild animals. He only listens to you. If it was someone else, he wouldnât do it!â
Ellinor asked awkwardly. ââ¦Really?â
Belinda nodded vigorously. âYesâ Ellinor, you just married him a month ago, you probably donât know him well yet. Once you get to know him, youâll see how ruthless he is!â âHow can you badmouth your uncle like that? He seems pretty nice to you!â
âOf course, my uncle cares about me because weâre family! But heâs really ruthless, heartless, and brutal towards outsiders. He has a bad reputation, and his name alone scares the hell out of many people!â
Ellinor had heard about Theoâs brutal reputation before.
Thatâs why when she found out that the man she randomly kissed on the street was Theo, she was so scared!
But she hadnât really seen Theoâs brutal side yet. Was he really that terrifying?
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of their suite.
Who could it be?
Belinda turned off the hairdryer and ran to open the door.
