After hanging up the phone, Ellinor flopped on the couch, continuing to munch on chips while watching TV Twenty minutes later, Belinda rushed in, practically dragging her out to go shopping for Theoâs birthday gift.
Ellinor was at a loss Why on earth would she need to get a gift for Theo?
Sheâs just a stand in actress, playing the part of Theaâs wife for free, and now sheâs expected to buy him a gift?
Downtown shopping street VK Mall Belinda was deeply engrossed in choosing from a luxury storeâs dazzling array of exquisite accessories âEllinor, what kind of gift do you think. Theo would like?â Belinda asked.
Nonchalantly trying on sunglasses, Ellinor casually replied while checking herself in the mirror, âNo ideaâ
Belinda furrowed her brows, turned to her, and said exasperatedly. âEllinor, donât you care at all about Theo? Donât you ever try to figure out his likes and dislikes?â
Ellinor put on the sunglasses, raising an eyebrow, âWhy should I figure out his likes? Is Theo some kind of rare species? Will studying him get me a Nobel Prize?â
Belinda stood there stunned, this was the first time she saw a woman so uninterested in Theo..
âYouâre something else, Ellinor Itâs this aloof attitude that drives a man to conquer. No wonder Theo is so into you!
Into her?
Since when did Theo become infatuated with her? Belinda always loved to imagine things that didnât exist!
âEllinor, if you donât want to pick a gift, just buy him a shirt or something. As long as itâs from you, Theo will definitely like it! I know a brand, and the menâs clothes are super stylish! Come on, letâs go check it out!â
Just as Ellinor was putting back the sunglasses, Belinda dragged her into a designer menswear store âEllinor, what do you think of this outfit for Theo?â
Ellinor couldnât be less interested in the finely designed, highâend menswear. She shook her head and said, âI think he has plenty of clothes like these at home, and he has so many he canât even wear them all. He doesnât need more of the same.â
âYes, of course, Theo has enough clothes, but if itâs from you, itâll be different! Ellinor, as his wife, you canât possibly give him any gift on his birthday, right?â
Belindaâs words reminded Ellinor that she was playing the role of Theoâs wife, so she should get him a gift. That way, she could avoid being caught out by the Blanchet family!
Ellinor frowned, her gaze suddenly landing on the clearance sale sign in the menswear store across She walked over to the clearance section and casually picked up a white T-shirt, âThis one will do!â
Belinda followed her, looking at the white Tâshirt in Ellinorâs hand, she burst into laughter.
The design of the Tâshirt was very ordinary, but it had a cute little kitten printed on it, which looked extremely adorable.
âEllinor? Isnât this a bit too cute? Isnât it a bit too much for a mature man like Theo?*
Ellinor dismissed her, âTheo is too conservative with his clothing, always in suits and ties. This will change his style and make him a bit more approachable Belinda âBut this is too Ellinor didnât care if the clothes suited Theoâs style; the gift was ready, and whether he liked it or not was his problem!
âExcuse me, can you wrap this up for me?â
âSure, please make your payment at the front counter.â
Ellinor pulled out cash from her pocket to pay for the discounted Tâshirt.
She deliberately didnât use her phone or bank card to pay but took out the cash she had on her.
Because she was using Theoâs phone at the moment, paying with her phone would deduct money from Theoâs account Buying a gift for Theo with his own money seemed a bit off to her So, Ellinor broke her usual habit and used her own money Taking the clange from the cashier, Ellinor said to Belinda Tve bought the gift! Letâs go. Il treat you to some bubble tea!â
Belinda looked a bit awkward, she could hardly imagine the look on Theoâs face when he saw the gift Ellinor had bought for him.
UU Coffee âEllinor, you really are unlike any other woman!â Belinda said while sipping on her coffee.
Ellinor casually asked calmly. âReally? How to?â
Belinda looked at her in surprise, âOther women would seize every opportunity to splurge on Theo, but you are giving him such a cheap gift! Yet, he still cares so much about you, itâs simply amazing!â
Does Theo care about her?
Ellinor laughed. âEven if the gift is cheap, the thought counts Belinda looked confused again, âBut as women, shouldnât we be trying our best to win our boyfriendâs heart? Arenât you afraid that he wonât like you if you treat Theo this way?â
Ellinor looked up at Belinda and said, âThere are two things in this world that we can never hold onto.
