Patricia knew Theo had been having Collin search for Ellinor non-stop for the past month.
She could even predict that if Theo saw Ellinor now, something she didnât want to happen would definitely happen. What if they cleared up the misunderstanding about the child on the spot?
No, she had worked so hard to push Ellinor away from Theo that she couldnât just stand by and watch them get back together Patriciaâs mind was racing, there were some things she couldnât bring up directly, so she deliberately tugged at Haillieâs hand Caught off guard by Patriciaâs sudden grip, Hailie initially froze. But then she turned to see Patriciaâs helpless, pitiful expression and couldnât help but feel sympathetic and an idea popped into her head.
âBallourâs in the restroom; I think it was Balfour who went in just now Haillie quickly explained.
Balfours inside?
Theo pulled his hand off the doorknob and turned around ready to head to the restroom in the hallway But before he could open the door, the ward door was pushed open from the outside, and Balfour walked in straight, âPatri, howâs Baber?â
Patricia and Haillies faces changed again when they saw Balfour come in Oh my god! Why did Balfour have to show up now?
They were totally busted, werenât they?!
Theo paused, looking at Balfour, then glanced at the locked restroom, squinting in thought.
Balfour, clueless about what had just happened, nodded at Theo in greeting. Then, youâre here too.â
Theo didnât respond to Balfour but instead turned to Haillie, demanding. âWhoâs really in the restroom?â
Patricia and Haillie exchanged embarrassed looks, both hesitating and stuttering unable to say a word.
Seeing the unusual atmosphere, Balfour quickly guessed what was going on and said, âQuintonâs inside. Theo, if you need the restroom, just turn left outsideâ
Quinton Theo stared at the restroom door for a few seconds, and the suspicion in his eyes gradually faded He never wouldâve thought that the girl heâd been desperately searching for for over a month was just behind that door.
There was a hint of fatigue in Theoâs eyes, âBalfour, since youâre here, Iâll leave the child and Patricia to you. I have to catch a flight, so Iâm leaving firstâ
Seeing Theo about to leave, Balfour frowned in discontent, thinking this guy was too irresponsible and did not care about Patri and the baby at all.
As Theo turned to open the door. Patricia ran up to him again, grabbing his sleeve.
Thenâ
Theo stopped and looked at her, âWhat now?â
Patricia looked up at him tenderly and said considerately. Then, itâs getting colder and colder, make sure to dress warmly when youâre on your trip.â
Theo nodded, âYou too, take care of yourself and the babyâ
Patricia smiled obediently. âDonât worry, I willl Theo, when you come back from your trip. Baber will be better.â
Without saying anything else. Theo opened the door and left.
Her beloved man had left, and though Patricia was reluctant to see him go, now was not the right time to keep Thea around because Ellinor was still hiding ip the restroom.
Thinking of Ellinor, a malicious smile crept onto Patriciaâs face as she glanced towards the restroom door Just now, Ellinor must have heard her and Theoâs caring farewells from inside, she must be green with envy, huh?
