He gently adjusted her face, leading her forward to catch the next subway.
As they walked, Theo called her name seriously again.
âEllinor, letâs start over.â
âHow to start?â
Ellinor tilted her head, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him puzzled.
âStart with dating. Would you reconsider me?â
Ellinor frowned slightly, and without much thought, she said, âI think weâre notâ¦â
Before she could finish âsuitableâ, she was interrupted.
âDonât reject me so quickly. Give me a chance to pursue you again. Donât worry, I wonât just make you adapt to my life, Iâll also adapt to your habits. You like taking the subway, eating at roadside stalls, and going to escape rooms. I can accompany you. Of course, Iâll also take you to enjoy topâtier gourmet food, let you enjoy the highest quality of life, and give you the best this world has to offer. As long as you like it, as long as I have it, Iâm willing to give it to you.â
These words spoken in a deep, celloâlike voice by a handsome man, and which girl could resist?
Ellinorâs heart raced, but she smirked sardonically, âDonât you feel embarrassed saying this? You were just with Ms. Howard not too long agoâ¦â
Her words were drowned out by the subwayâs arrival.
The subway rushed into the station, bringing the whistling noise, until it stopped.
Theo didnât know if he heard her words, he didnât respond, just holding her hand, they boarded the subway together.
It was rush hour, and the subway was very crowded.
There were no seats on the subway, only standing room.
Theoâs tall figure and demeanor stood out in the crowded subway.
Female passengers in the car kept stealing glances at him.
And Ellinor was squeezed against Theo, with no room to move.
Their bodies pressed together, they could even feel each otherâs heartbeat.
Ellinor felt a bit uneasy and wanted to move away a bit to keep some distance.
But she was surrounded by male passengers, and under Theoâs watchful gaze, how could he allow his girl to be in physical contact with other men.
His arm tightened around her, pressing her against him as he gently ordered, âDonât move.â
Ellinor was not happy, but then the man explained in a whisper in her ear, Thereâs nothing between Patricia and me, sheâs just someone who saved my life. I told you, she once saved me, and her health deteriorated for it. I owe her, so there are some situations where I canât ignore her.â
So he did hear her words before they got on the train, this was his responseâ¦.
âShe saved you, so you decided to marry her?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? She was only ten years old then, how could I marry her?â
âSheâs grown up pow, and you can marry her now!â
Theo knew Ellinor was just talking angry nonsense, and he felt a bit happy that she would get angry.
He smiled.
Being angry meant she cared about him.
Theo rubbed her head with his chin, âDo you want me to marry someone else that much?â
âDo whatever you want. I canât control you!â Ellinor grumbled.
âThen Iâll marry you, my body, my heart, all for you, do you want them?â
