Ellinor cocked an eyebrow, âTheo, Rome wasnât built in a day ya know. Your sister turned out this way because you and your folks spoiled her silly when she was a kid. You canât just kick her to the curb.
Maybe you should have some patience, go a few rounds with her, and let her figure things out so she can change on her own.â
Theo froze a bit. Ellinor always knew how to look out for him.
He was tough on Veronica, but deep down, he couldnât bear to really kick her out.
Where would she go? Back to her flirtatious mom? Sheâd just get worse!
Veronica might be his half-sister, but she was his only sister and she meant something to him.
Back when he was swamped with work, he didnât have time to discipline her Since she was feeling lonely at home, heâd try to fulfill all her whims.
As she grew older, Veronicaâs flaws started to show She was lazy and arrogant, no one at school wanted to be friends with her.
She had been a real pain in the neck for him all these years Theo gently pinched Ellinorâs cheek You act like a little devil but youâre always so sensible that itâs heartbreakingâ
Ellinor rolled her eyes, Shoo, shool Iâm making noodles, donât bug mel With that, she wriggled out of his grip turned around and started to cook Theo, however wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. What noodles?
Ellinor frowned, âCbviously the noodles youâre gonna eat! Theo, did you forget you havenât eaten yet?â
âIâm not hungry Iâll eat later, let me aste of you first As he spoke, he took the bowl of egg mixture from her and placed it to the side. He twisted her around, held her close, and kissed her gently âTheo stopâ
Sometimes Ellinor really couldnât handle this mi kissing obsession. She had to question it She just wanted to make him some noodles, why was it so hard?.
Only after a long while did Theo let her go, but her legs were already weak To prevent him from making any more moi Ellinor shooed him away.
âTheo, go wait outside! Donât bother me here! I cant work with you aroundâ
He smiled. âWhy canât you work? Is it because youâre too nervous with me here?
Ellinor rolled her eyes, âIsnât it because you cant keep your hands to yourself? Go, go, go! Get out! Or I wonât let you eat when Iâm done cooking Theo stopped teasing her âAlright, alright, Iâm going. Be careful, donât burn yourself *
âYeah, yeah, whatever With that, Then left.
Finally Ellinor could breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on making noodles for him.
Just as the noodles were almost done, her phone rang. It was a call from Chase Ellinor answered âChase, whatâs up?â
Chaseâs voice was senous. âEllinor, I just received some news. Someoneâs been digging around in the village where you grew up â
Ellinorâs brows furrowed, âDigging into my past? Who?â
Chase replied, âOur sources confirm that itâs someone sent by the Howard familyâ
Ellinor squinted thoughtfully âHow far have they gotten?
