Ellinor was confused. Had she done something wrong? Why was she getting blasted here?
âBetter not to point fingers at herâ
A deep voice suddenly drifted over from not far away. The volume was not loud, but it felt like a blast in the ear Everyone felt a chill and turned their heads to look He was a tall, handsome man with neatly combed hair, his striking features were perfectly displayed without a single flaw. He was like a walking sculpture, his face was expressionless, radiating an air of authority Theo Blanchetâs aura was intimidating.
Balfour squinted his eyes, looking at the newcomer with displeasure Byran was stunned He was surprised to find Theo here as well The rest of the people were silenced by the increasingly tense atmosphere.
Ellinor raised her eyebrows, also surprised at the manâs appearance.
But here, she had no friends, so Theoâs appearance felt like a comfort. She instinctively moved closer to him, looking up at the much taller Theo, âWhat brings you here?â
His stern gaze instantly softened, âItâs raining I came to bring you an umbrellaâ
Following Theo was Collin, who was indeed holding a black umbrella.
Was it raining outside?
Ellinor subconsciously wanted to look out the window, but there were no windows around. She couldnât see outside, nor could she see if it was raining.
He gently touched her face, âDid you have fun being out all afternoon?â
Fun? She just got a scolding!
Ellinor yawned. âIâm tired; I want to go home.â
He feigned displeasure, âYou do know what tired is, right? Werenât you having fun with others instead of hanging out with me? You got scolded but didnât even think to call me?
His tone and words made it seem like he was overly indulgent with her, treating her like a naive child.
She was at a loss.
âI didnât call, but youâre here, arenât you?â
âIf I didnât come, you wouldnât look for me!â Theo patted her head, his voice low but deliberately acting annoyed.
Ellinor was speechless.
This was a bit awkward.
Theo stopped teasing her and pulled Ellinor closer to him so he could protect her in his arms. He then looked up at Balfour, who had just been rude to her, ready to stand up for her âBalfour, donât be so heartless to a girl who once helped you. How could you criticize her like this?â
Balfour looked at Theo, his earlier angry expression now back to normal, âPot calling the kettle black, I see. Speaking of being heartless, youâre no better. Here you are hugging and kissing another woman.
Where does that leave your benefactor, Patricia? Theo, have you completely forgotten what Patricia did to save you?â
