Before this, she had never directly answered whether she missed him or not, nor had she ever initiated a call to him.
Theo couldnât help but chuckle, âI will be back in a few days, Iâm not done here, you just wait for me.â

Ellinorâs voice had lost its warmth, Ohâ
Theo didnât say anything else. hung up the phone, and busied himself with soothing the little tyke in his arms who wanted his mommy Listening to the short, busy tone from the other end of the line, Ellinorâs eyes completely cooled, her lips curling in self-mockery What a joke! She always thought she was rational, clear-headed, not a hopeless romantic, and certainly wouldnât blindly trust in love and a man But the truth showed that she was no different from any ordinary person!
When Patricia showed her the scar on her abdomen that day, saying she and Theo once had a child, she didnât take it to heart and didnât doubt Theoâs character for a second. She took it as a cheap lie Patricia made up to sow discord between her and Theo.
She was so certain that Theo wasnât the type of guy to mess around or shirk responsibility But just now. Theo lied to her. He was clearly in the country but lied about not being back yet.
So, could she conclude from this that Theo might have never left the country in the past half month and was always with Patricia and their child?
Ha! Was this necessary? If he wanted to be with Patricia, he didnât need to deceive her and act behind her back! He couldâve just told her, she would never interfere Her relationship with Theo started as a simple business partnership, and she had no right to interfere. If it werenât for Theo suddenly changing his tune and saying he wanted to start fresh with her and take their relationship seriously, she wouldâve never had any illusions about him.
She knew that because of the unknown grudge between the Blanchet and Howard families, the Blanchet elders were worried that Theo and Patriciaâs entanglement would deepen, so Mr. Blanchet was pressuring Theo to marry another woman as soon as possible.
It was only when she saw their child today that Ellinor finally realized that Theo had never let go of Patricia. His cold, indifferent act towards her was probably just a ruse to deceive the Blanchet family elders, and she was the fool who fell for it.
From stan to finish, she was a pawn Theo used to deal with the Blanchet family elders. To make her play the role of Mrs. Blanchet convincingly, Theo even lied about his feelings Was he really that despicable?
Some passersby began whispering.
âThat man holding a child over there is so handsome!
âHe really is! I saw his wife just now, sheâs also very pretty, she must be getting medicine for the child now!â
âTheir kid is so cute and adorable! The whole family is so pleasing to the eye!â
*With parents that good-looking, how could the child not inherit their good looks?â
Listening to the murmuring around her, Ellinor lowered her eyes and took a deep breath Chase gritted his teeth, unable to hold back, âEllinor, donât be sad, Iâll go beat that jerk Theo for you right now!â
Ellinor waved him off, speaking softly. âThereâs no need, letâs go.â
âBut that scumbag, he Chaseâs fist clenched with a crunch and he was clearly frustrated!
Ida pulled him back, âCalm down, donât cause trouble for Ellinor!â
At this moment, Theo seemed to sense something and turned around with the child in his arms.
