Ellinor snapped back to reality when Theo playfully tapped her nose Bending down to her level as she sat on the bed, Theo said in a gentle tone, âThe BBQ got burnt âcause no one was watching. I had someone make you a new one, and itâll be here soonâ
Ellinor wasnât really bothered about the BBQ anymore. The grilled chicken wings that Byran brought her were enough to fill her up.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she raised an eyebrow, âTheo, are you keeping some personal issues from me?â
Theo paused for a moment, then squatted down in front of her, looking earnestly into her eyes, shaking his head, âNoâ
âThatâs good then! Ellinor didnât push further She didnât really take Patriciaâs words seriously, if it werenât for Patriciaâs weird smile, she wouldâve forgotten about the rumor of Theo and Patricia having a child.
Having spent over two months with Theo, she may not know much, but she trusted him. Theo was not the kind of guy to shirk responsibility.
And Patricia, always playing the moral high ground, if she really had a kid with Theo, she wouldâve used it to manipulate the Blanchet family by now, she wouldnât be keeping it a secret âWhyâre you asking all of a sudden?â
*No reason, just curious! By the way, Theo, Byranâs grilled wings are good, wanna try?â
Saying so, she picked up a wing from the plate on the bedside table and held it to Theoâs mouth.
Theo chuckled, taking a bite, âMmm, itâs good. Eat up, weâll head home once youâre done.â
âOkay Ellinor nodded.
âEat up Thea ruffled her hair, feeling a pang of affection.
He just wanted to take her out for some fun today, but unexpected problems arose, leaving her soaked and cold.
it was all his fault for not taking care of her properly. This couldnât happen again.
By the time they got back to the Blanchet villa, it was already late in the night.
Theo walked Ellinor to her bedroom door, âI have to go overseas for a bit to handle something. Be good while Iâm away and donât roam around too much, donât make me worryâ
âHow long will you be gone?â
âAbout half a month.â
Ellinor frowned, âWhat could take that long?â
With a teasing smile, Theo said, âYouâll miss me? How about a goodbye kiss then?â
He bent down slightly, purposely turning his cheek towards her Ellinor smirked and playfully smacked his face, âTheo, have a safe trip. Good night!â
After saying that, she turned around, went into her room, and locked the door.
Theo was both amused and frustrated, why did he fall for such a tormenting woman?
During the half a month that Theo was away, Ellinor had the perfect opportunity to focus on the construction plans for the Blanchet Corporation building
