Seeing Ellinorâs sympathetic expression, Theoâs anger disappeared, âOkay, then letâs have something to eat first, what do you want?â
Theoâs words made Ellinor feel a bit awkward. She was a bit puzzled, it couldnât be what she was thinking, could it?
She didnât dare to ask, afraid that he might think she was overly sensitive.
She rubbed her empty stomach, turned her face away from him, âI just donât want to walk anymore, Iâm too tired, anything will do.â
After saying this, Theo suddenly picked her up.
Ellinor was stunned, her face tumed red in shyness, âMr. Blanchet, what are you doing?â
Theo carried her, moving along the edge of the bridge, he looked down at her, âDidnât you say you didnât want to walk?â
âI was hoping you could call someone to pick us up, not carry me!â Ellinorâs face was full of helplessness.
The man continued to stride forward, casually saying, âIsnât your goal just to not walk? Whatâs the difference between me carrying you and taking a car?â
Ellinor was speechless. This man was a logic freak! how did she not realize before?
âMr. Blanchet, this is really embarrassing for me! This is Donebridge, every car that passes by us, they all give us strange looks, and maybe even take sneaky photos of us, donât you care about your image?â
âWeâre legally married. Why are you shy?â
âBut I feel so embarrassed!â
âDonât worry, any video or photo that captures my face, without my permission, wonât get published.â
Even if they canât publish it, this situation is still embarrassing, right?
Ellinor couldnât break free, so she just buried her face in his chest, let him be the one to feel embarrassedâ¦.
As long as she doesnât show her face, the embarrassment is all his!
Feeling the wind around them lessen a bit, Ellinor cautiously peeked out, sighed in relief, they finally left Donebridge!
âMr. Blanchet, Iâm really grateful! Youâve carried me for so long, so you must be tired! Let me down, I want to walk on my own now!â She tried to negotiate with him.
Theo looked down, put her down, a hint of mockery in his eyes, âYouâre light as a feather, do I look tired?â
âDoes a feather in your house weigh over fifty kilograms?â Ellinor glared at him unhappily.
The man chuckled, âYes, mine does.â
Ellinor was taken aback, her face turned red.
What was he implying? This Theo was really good at flirting!
Luckily she was rational enough, otherwise she would have been attracted by himâ¦
Ellinor looked around, âI donât think this place is suitable to call a taxi, there should be a subway station ahead, letâs go, weâll take the subway to the restaurant.â
The man had no objections, followed her on.
In the subway station.
When it was they turn, Ellinor was about to buy tickets, but Theo beat her to it and worked the ticket machine with ease, his nimble fingers buying two subway cards that pass through the cityâs business district.
Watching the manâs proficient operation, Ellinor couldnât help but recall the last time they took the subway due to the traffic jam and he had to call Collin because he didnât know how to buy a ticket.
âYou seem to be very familiar with the subway routes now?â
