Ellinor never bought clothes that werenât comfy, and there were no formal dresses in her closet Even though she started Crescent Society, the social events were usually handled by Ida and Chase, while she, as the behind-the-scenes leader, only dealt with technical stuff, important decisions, and future direction, Knowing Ellinorâs dislike for uncomfortable clothes, Ida closed her laptop and asked curiously. âWhy the sudden need to borrow a dress? Whatâs up?â
Ellinor explained, âBalfour and I are going to a party tomorrow. He insisted that I dress up for the occasionâ
Ida nodded, âSo, after dinner, Iâll go with you to the tailor and get a new dress. Mine would be way too big on you.â
Ellinor thought for a moment, reached over, and gave Idaâs chest a squeeze, âRight, your boobs are bigger than mine!
Ida didnât hold back and copped a feel of Ellinorâs chest, then reassured her, âDonât worry when you have kids, theyâll grow!â
Shaking her head, Ellinor replied, âNo thanks! Iâm happy with what Iâve got. I think big boobs look better on other people, theyâd just be a burden to me.â
Ida nodded in agreement, âTrue, your figure is pretty awesome as it is!â
At that moment, Chase, sitting in the front seat, looked totally dumbfounded, âHey! Do you two even see me as a guy? How about considering my feelings when I canât join in?â
Ida gave Chase a glance; their familiarity with him had reached a point where they didnât need to hold back such subject.
Ignoring Chase, Ida asked Ellinor, âWhat do you feel like eating tonight?â
âWe could go to our usual barbecue place. I havenât been there in a while!
âYouâre pregnant now, you should be eating healthier. BBQ isnât good for you! Ida frowned.
Chase, however, was supportive, âA little BBQ once in a while wonât hurt! Youâve been feeling sick lately, itâs good that you actually feel like eating! Letâs go get some BBQ!â, Ida, unable to argue with that logic, stopped her objections Chase started the car and they were soon at the BBQ place.
As soon as Ellinor smelled the barbecue, she was eager to get out of the car.
Ida suddenly pulled her back, âHold on.â
Chase parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and said mockingly. âIda, I told you not to nag so much.
A little BBQ wonât hurt!â
Adjusting her gold rimmed glasses, Ida said seriously. Thatâs not it! Look over there, isnât that quy over there Theo?â
Ellinorâs mood sank upon hearing Theoâs name; she blinked and looked in the direction Ida was pointing.
It was Theol He was sitting alone at a small table on the side with a beer, a plate of barbecue, and a pile of fries on the table.
But the man was not eating or drinking: he was just sitting there, expressionless, like a king.
The lady owner of the BBQ place brought over a bottle of soda and chatted happily with him.
Theo didnât laugh but nodded in response to her
