At the Blanchet familyâs villa.
After Balfour left, Ellinor took out her phone, which had been buzzing in her pocket.
It was a video call from Theo Because she had been talking to Balfour, she hadnât answered it.
Now that Balfour was gone, she could talk to Then.
After answering the phone, Theoâs handsome face appeared on the screen.
Theoâs normally cold and handsome features now looked annoyed. He had a chill on his face, âWhat were you doing just now? Why did you only answer now?â
Ellinor lazily sat on the sofa, âI was eating!â
Theoâs face darkened, âEating? Whose cooking were you eating?â
Ellinor knew what was going on once he asked that question. Someone must have snitched!
She rolled her eyes, unhappily saying, âWhy are you asking if you already know?â
Theo narrowed his eyes, not bothering to beat around the bush with this little miss, âWhat was Balfour doing at our house while I was gone? Why did he cook for you?â
Ellinor found his jealous antics cute, so she deliberately teased him, âMaybe he was just itching to show off his cooking skills in our house.â
The phrase âour house made Theo instantly pleased, but his tone was still somewhat unhappy, âWhy are you eating food cooked by another man? Have you forgotten what I told you before? Youâre not allowed to casually eat things given to you by other men!â
Ellinor pouted, âI didnât eat it casually, I considered it carefully before eating it! Balfour isnât that stupid, even if he wanted to harm me, he wouldnât openly come to our house to poison me, right, Theo?â
The repeated use of our houseâ made it impossible for him to get angry with her. He sighed and asked, âWhat did he come to see you for?â
Ellinor said, âItâs a long story! You keep earning money, and Iâll tell you when you get home.â
Theoâs frown deepened; he was clearly dissatisfied with her answer.
Balfour wouldnât step foot in the Blanchet familyâs villa unless it was something big.
Today, he broke his rule for Ellinor, what he came for must have been very important, yet Ellinor wouldnât tell him.
âTheo, look! Whatâs this?â Ellinor showed off her bounty of the day.
Theo looked at the notes Ellinor was waving in front of the phone. Theo, who wasnât sensitive to money, just raised an eyebrow, âWhatâs up?â
âThis is my pay from the few days I worked at the Howard Group that I demanded from Balfour today.
Balfour has owed me for a long time Ellinorâs face was full of excitement, like she had found a treasure. She excitedly told the serious man on the screen, âWhen you get off work, Iâll treat you to something delicious!â
Theo paused for a moment, looking at the lively young girl on the screen. His previously gathered displeasure instantly dissipated, âYouâre so generous.â
âOf course!â Ellinor lifted her face proudly, âI normally wouldnât invite people to eat with me. Youâre really lucky!â
Theoâs lips slightly lifted, âHmm? What delicious food are you planning to treat me to?â
