âTheo, am I right?â
Ellinor turned around, raising an eyebrow at Theo Theo bowed his head, staring at her intensively. âHow do you know all these things?â
Ellinor smiled, playfully poking at the manâs robust chin, which was much higher than hers, âCause that little girl who saved you once was me!â
Theoâs pupils contracted, he clenched the hand of this mischievous girl tightly, âYou?â
Ellinor nodded, âYes, the day I went to bring you dry bread, I found you were no longer there! I thought you were taken by a wild beast, and I even buried some dry bread there as a memorial for you.â
Theoâs eyebrows slightly frowned. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
So it was her!
No wonder he always felt Patricia didnât have the innocence of that little girl who saved him.

Ellinor tilted her head. âTheo. whatâs wrong? Arenât you happy to know that your life-saver is actually me?â
The man came to his senses, feeling delighted about this wonderful fate. He held her hand and gently kissed it, his deep voice filled with charm.
âYou knew it long ago? Why didnât you tell me before?â
Ellinor rolled her eyes. âI just found out not long ago. I didnât think it was worth mentioning I didnât want to use this as leverage to make you do something for me! But today, I couldnât stand seeing you being pushed around like a fool.â
Theo hugged her tightly, âEllinor, youâre my savior!â
Ellinor was almost deformed by his embrace, âHey! Theo, youâre holding too tight. I can barely breatheâ¦â
At this moment, Patricia watched the man hugging Ellinor tightly, and her eyes turned red with jealousy, she simply couldnât believe it was true!
The little girl who saved Theo was actually Ellinor?!
How could this be? She couldnât accept it!
This must be Ellinorâs trick; it must be!
Patricia sniffed, complaining in grievance, âEllinor, after all that talk, you just want to take away my life saving favor to Theo. Donât you think youâve gone too far?â
Still being hugged by the man, Ellinor heard those words and gently pushed the manâs chest, indicating him to loosen up a bit.
Then, she looked at Patricia with a smirk, âDo I need to replace you?â
Patricia gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed as she challenged, âThen do you have any evidence to prove it was you who saved Theo? You just said it, and thereâs no proof!â
