Oh, he stayed up all night chatting with Patricia, how could he possibly sleep?
Seeing the girlâs disgusted face. Theo frowned and said, âYou got beef with me? What man doesnât grow a beard?â
Ellinor snapped back to reality, stood up from him, and moved slightly away before shaking her head, âNo, I think you look hot with a beard tooâ
What does it matter to her whether he keeps his beard or not? Who is she to judge?
âYou think Iâm hot? Huh?â A flicker of surprise passed through Theoâs eyes, compliments from her were hard to come by Ellinor was frank, âYou being handsome is a fact, it has nothing to do with what I think.â
âSo why are you so cold towards me?â
âSo, I should be all over you because youâre handsome? There are plenty of hot guys in the world, should I be all over them too? Seriously?â
Theoâs face darkened. He pulled her over to sit on the couch, forcefully put the cake on the table in front of her, and said coldly, âGet realâ Eat your cake!â
Ellinor reluctantly sat down, huffing in annoyance.
Fine, sheâll eat!
Despite her swollen hand, she managed to pick up the small fork She stopped making a fuss and started eating the cake obediently on the couch, occasionally sneaking a peek at Theoâs computer screen.
Theo also stopped messing around and focused on the documents on his computer, his long fingers occasionally tapping on the keyboard and making some annotations Ellinor felt bored and uncomfortable, she casually picked up the cake fork and asked, âWhen can I be discharged?â
âAt least three days.â
Three days! Thatâs too longâ¦.
She didnât want to stay in the hospital any longer!
So, she tried to negotiate with him, âAs long as I avoid what Iâm allergic to, I can go home and rest, right?â
Theo turned his head and looked at Ellinor, who was about to eat her cake; his face showed slight movement, and his mouth openedâ¦.
Seeing this, Ellinor paused, he was wanting some cake too?
And, was there a hint of threat in his eyes?
If she wanted to negotiate, sheâd have to feed him the cake first.
Getting the hint, Ellinor was a bit annoyed!
But she really didnât want to stay in the hospital for three days, so she was ready to put down the cake she hadnât eaten yet, get a new fork and feed him a bite.
However, before she could put it down, her wrist was caught by Theoâs large hand, forcefully pulling it over, and she passively fed himâ¦
Theo had no qualms about eating the cake from her used fork.
Ellinorâs heart skipped a beat. As soon as she came to her senses, she threw the fork away and got a new one for herself.
Theo frowned, âYou dislike me that much?â
Ellinor cleared her throat and sneered, âIsnât this a hygiene issue? Sharing utensils is like swapping bactena! You may not mind, but I do!â
Theo snorted, âItâs too late, weâve already crossâcontaminated.â
Crossâcontamination!
Although Theo didnât say it explicitly, he was clearly referring to that nightâ¦
That night, he was poisoned, and she lost her senses, they were intimate, their bodies wholly fused, their souls attracted to each otherâ¦
Thatâs something she wanted to forget!
Why did he bring it up again?
Ellinor couldnât bear it anymore and yelled, âTheo!â
Seeing the girlâs flushed face. Theo felt that he had avenged her earlier coldness, he chuckled.
He stopped teasing her, reached put, and patted her head, âAll right, eat fewer sweets, hot food will be here soonâ
Ellinor was taken aback.
Theo was moody one moment and cheerful the next.
Was there something wrong with his head?
She turned her face away, uttering a displeased âhmmâ.
Theo always teased her for no reason! So annoying!
Just then, her phone started vibrating Ellinor put down the cake fork and walked over to the cabinet to get her phone She had been using Theaâs phone recently, which was filled with his contacts Only Collin and Jonah Wyton would occasionally call And now, the incoming call was from a number she hadnât stored Ellinor picked up the phone, her hand wrapped in gauze, making it inconvenient, so she used her chin to slide the screen and answer the call A terrified voice from Patricia came through the receiver, âAh! Help! Donât, donât come any closer! Iâm scared, save me, hurry upâ¦â
Ellinor frowned without hesitation, she quickly walked over and handed the phone to Theo, âTheo, your Ms. Howard seems to be in some kind of trouble!*
