Ellinor was speaking in a super aggressive tone, and it was downright rude.
What the heck happened?
A frown creased Theoâs forehead, âWhy on earth are you all riled up out of the blue?â
Ellinor threw up her hands. âTheo, Iâm not mad at you! I just feel like we donât need to play house when no one is around, we donât need to nurture feelings, either. We should keep some distance between us!â
The woman in Theoâs heart, Patricia, seemed to be making a comeback soon.
He seemed to have feelings for Patricia still Therefore, she had zero interest in being a part of someone elseâs love story.
Byran and Haillie were giving her a hard time because of this.
As for that night a few days ago, it was a last resort for her to be with Theo because he was poisoned.
She would wipe that memory from her mind, seal it off forever like it never even happened After this, when they donât need to pretend to be a couple, she must keep a distance from Theo to ease her conscience!
All her words were driving Theo up the wall!
Till now, she thinks heâs just playing along with her.
She wouldnât fail to notice his feelings for her if she paid attention.
âKeep a distance? Theo retorted, âSure, then kindly remove yourself, donât sleep in my room. After all, men and women should keep a distance, right?â
âFine! Iâm out!â
Ellinor nodded, forcefully shrugged off Theoâs arm around her waist, and bolted, she would sleep in the guest room!
She really left?
A vein popped on Theoâs forehead, he ground out his cigarette, picked up the water glass on the table, and drained it in one gulp.
He lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, he was seriously pissed.
What the heck was this woman playing at?
Suddenly, the vibration of the phone caught Theoâs attention.
Theo lazily blew out a puff of smoke, squinting toward the source of the noiseâ¦
His phone on the bedside table vibrated, which he gave Ellinor a few days ago.
Theo stubbed out his cigarette, picked up the phone, and answered it.
The call was from Belinda âTheo, are you and Ellinor home yet?â
âYeah.â
âIs Ellinor next to you right now?â
Recalling Ellinorâs recent behavior, Theo replied with displeasure, âSheâs already asleep, what do you need her for?â
After confirming that Ellinor wouldnât hear, Belinda relaxed a bit, her voice getting louder.
âOh, I donât need anything from Ellinor! I just wanted to ask if you guys had some kind of misunderstanding. You both were ignoring each other in the car, what happened?â
Theo said with a frown, âMind your own business.â
Belinda grumbled, âTheo! Iâm older than Ellinor by half a year, okay? And while Iâve only been engaged once and didnât end up getting married, Iâm sure I have way more experience in love than you do!
Come on, Theo, tell me what happened, maybe I can help analyze it!â
Theo rubbed his temples, impatiently saying, âNothing, sheâs just pissed for some odd reason.â
Belinda immediately retorted, âThatâs impossible! We, girls, donât just get mad for no reason! Especially a smart woman like Ellinor, there must be a reason!â
Theo squinted, âAnd what reason do you think that would be?â
Belinda pondered, âLet me guess. Theo, have you ever told Ellinor that you like her?â
Theo remained silent Belinda sighed helplessly, âI knew it Theo, you definitely wouldnât say it directly! But if you donât tell her, how is Ellinor supposed to know you like her?â
Like her?
