Chapter 666: Chapter 666

“Major thanks to Mr. Blanchet for playing along!”

Chase could read between the lines in Theo’s words, but he wasn’t clued in on the specifics. He could only respond according to Theo’s drift.

Both men stopped talking, but the tension between them was as thick as the calm before a storm….

Thankfully, Ellinor appeared just in time, pulling her suitcase out of the bedroom, breaking the tension in the living room.

“Theo, I’ve packed my bags!”

Theo remained stone-faced, simply nodding and standing up from the couch, and walked over to her Chase also stood up, asking affectionately, “Sweetheart, why are you lugging around a suitcase?

Where are you headed, and why didn’t you give me a heads up?

Ellinor merely glanced at him, pulling a wry smile. “Enough with the ‘sweetheart, your act is starting to crack.”

“Ouch, has he seen through me?”

Ellinor ignored Chase’s reaction. She looked up at Theo, “Theo, we can leave now.”

To avoid any conflict between them, she needed to leave with Theo as soon as possible, lest he cause trouble with Chase….

Theo glanced at the small suitcase in her hand, raising an eyebrow, “Where’s the cat?”

The cat?

Ellinor was momentarily taken aback, but quickly caught on. She looked down at the cat obediently sitting next to Chase’s feet.

“Um Let’s leave the cat. It’s old and doesn’t like to change the environment. I’ll come back to visit from time to time.”

Would she come back more often? Theo frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything. He took the suitcase from her and wrapped his long arm around her, his large hand gently resting on her shoulder, “Then let’s go.”

Chase watched as Theo’s possessiveness over Ellinor was on full display, feeling a surge of pressure…

Theo’s possessiveness was blatantly obvious!

By the time Theo and Ellinor had left, Chase was still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened.

Did Ellinor just leave with him?

Didn’t Ellinor say she had severed all ties with that guy from the Blanchet family?

Suddenly, the door to another room opened, and Ida, looking as if she had just woken up, appeared.

Chase snapped back to reality, frowning, “Ida, so you were home!”

Ida nodded, “I didn’t go to the office today because I didn’t sleep well.”

Chase complained, “Why didn’t you come out earlier? Theo took Ellinor away!”

Ida said, “I heard.”

“Ida, do you think Ellinor willingly left with Theo?”

Ida flicked her medium-length curls, leaned against the door, and absentmindedly adjusted her glasses, “Less guessing about what Ellinor thinks. We won’t figure it out anyway”

Chase thought for a moment, he felt that Ida was right.

“But, how did Theo find out that my marriage with Ellinor was fake? Didn’t Ellinor and I put on a good show of being in love?”

Ida looked at him disdainfully, “With the way you act so wild and unrestrained, how could Theo not see through it?”

Chase realized he had given himself away and felt extremely embarrassed. He shrugged, “Uh, my bad!

But I can’t help it, I need to seek happiness every now and then!”

Ida looked at him with disdain again, “You should take care of your health!”

The Blanchet villa.

All the way there, Ellinor quietly sat in the car, behaving herself.

Because she knew her any struggle would be futile.
