When Veronica said this, Ellinor had already plonked herself on the living room couch, turning a blind eye to Veronicaâs sarcastic remarks and just focusing on ordering takeout on her phone.
Veronica felt like she was punching cotton. Nothing she said could get to Ellinor, and it was super frustrating for her.
She raised her voice and continued, âYouâre taking ages just to order some grub? With the money in some peopleâs hands, they probably can only afford the cheapest dish!â
Patricia was about to burst into laughter, but she still pretended to be sympathetic, âVeronica, donât be like this. We should respect other peopleâs lifestylesâ
Veronica snorted as she rolled her eyes, âBut Iâm just stating the facts! Sheâs just a country bumpkin, sheâs not even in the same league as us! Even if she can attract my brother now, their values are not aligned, and they wonât last! Sheâs really clueless! How could she still live in our house?â
Ellinor couldnât care less about Veronicaâs sarcasm. She had already placed her order and paid. At the same time, Theo also received a payment notification.
Last night, Theo gave her all his passwords and several private bank cards, indicating his intention to spend the rest of his life with her Although Ellinor was not short of money, it felt pretty good to occasionally use her boyfriendâs money.
While Veronica was still spouting off, Ellinor acted as if she hadnât heard a thing. She lounged on the couch, turned on the TV, and waited for her food.
Suddenly, a glass of milk was held in front of her.
Ellinor looked up and saw Patricia offering it.
Patricia was smiling gently and innocently. âEllinor, your food might take a while, right? Have some milk first, donât starve yourself!â
Ellinor looked at the glass of milk with a clear lipstick mark on it. It was obviously Patriciaâs leftover.
Offering someone else your leftover milk? Patricia sure was an interesting character.
âEllinor didnât get angry, she gently pushed away Patriciaâs milk, flashed her a smile, and said, âThanks for the offer, but Iâm not that hungry yet. You can have the milk Disappointed, Patricia sat next to her and cheekily asked, âEllinor, why wonât you drink it? Is it because I drank from it? I thought you wouldnât mind, considering you accepted my ex.â
With a raised eyebrow, Ellinor glanced at her, âYour ex?â
Patricia laughed heartily, âYeah, isnât Theo my ex? You accepted him, but when it comes to milk, you suddenly mind?â
Ellinor looked at Patricia and asked, âDid he ever touch you?â
Patricia nodded. âOf course. Do you think Theo never had a girlfriend before you? Thatâs impossible!
How could a guy like Theo, with no shortage of female admirers, possibly be single till his thirties?â
Ellinor stared at Patricia seriously, and went silent for a while, making Patricia think that she believed her and was mad.
Then, Ellinor suddenly burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke, âMs. Howard, you tried to make me believe that you had a child with Theo, now you want me to believe you guys were intimate? You think Iâd believe you?â
Patriciaâs face stiffened for a moment, then she also started laughing sarcastically, âEven if he hadnât been with me, do you think a vibrant man like Theo couldâve only dated you?â
Ellinor smiled lightly, âI confirmed it in my own way; he indeed only had me.â
Patricia frowned. âYou confirmed? How did you confirm? I know how women can confirm, but how can men? Donât fool yourself, Ellinor!â
Ellinor chuckled softly, âHow I confirmed is not something I can tell you, thatâs Theoâs personal privacy!
Anyway, Iâm very sure Theo is pure and innocent!â
The confidence and determination on Ellinorâs face, along with the sweetness that leaked out unintentionally, were enough to make Patriciaâs face turn sour in an instant Patriciaâs grip on the milk glass tightened, as if she wanted to crush the glass and tear Ellinor to pieces.
Patricia still remembered how she purposely got drunk and stripped naked in front of Theo, but Theo didnât even spare her a glance, let alone touch her.
