Veronica watched as Ellinor lazily sat up in bed, yawning. She found it hard to apologize to this country bumpkin she genuinely looked down upon. Theo,â¦â
In the video, Theoâs face was stem âIf you donât apologize, pack up your stuff immediately!â
Although Veronica was reluctant to apologize, she was still afraid of Theo. She quickly apologized and bowed her head to Ellinor, who was still in bed âEllinor, Iâm sorry⦠What I said was wrong. I wonât talk to you like that again⦠Please forgive me; donât let my brother kick me out.â
Ellinor didnât give a clear response. Instead, she lazily stretched out her hand. âGive me my phone back. You can go nowâ
You can go now?!
Who was Ellinor talking to? What did she take her for?
Veronica almost blew up with rage at Ellinorâs dismissive attitude, but she had no choice but to calm herself. Theo was still watching her through the video call.
She didnât dare argue with Ellinor anymore. She obediently returned the phone to Ellinor and then helplessly turned around and left.
Ellinor took the phone, and only after Veronica left did she look at the perfect face of the man on the screen and lazily said, âTheo, your sister Veronica is nothing like you The coldness on his face immediately disappeared. âAlright, donât be angry. Iâll teach her a lesson when I get backâ
âIâm not angry, just a bit annoyed!â Ellinor yawned, then casually asked, âTheo, when are you coming back?â
After saying this, she immediately realized that it was inappropriate She blinked awkwardly. âUmâ¦â
Theo also paused for a moment, then smiled, âWhen do you want me to come back? I can come back right nowâ
Ellinor cleared her throat in embarrassment, âNo need, I was just asking! Go to work, Iâm going back to sleep!â
After that, she quickly hung up the video call and threw the phone away.
Ellinor covered her face with her hands and rolled on the bed. âAh! So awkward!â
Why did she ask when Theo was coming back?
Theo had just left not long ago, so asking that made it seem like she missed him.
Ellinor, where was your dignity?
It had only been ten minutes since he left, and she sort of missed him. Now what?
Ellinor hugged the quilt they both used last night, buried her face in it, and took a deep breath, trying to catch his fresh scent.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep.
Veronica came out of the room with an embarrassed face, just in time to meet Devin, who was about to open the door with the keys.
Once Veronica came out, Devin sighed in relief, âMs. Blanchet, you finally came out! Ellinor isnât mad, is she?â
