What did the middleâaged woman mean when she said ârepairâ? Everyone there was an adult, and they all knew what she meant.
Only Veronica didnât get it.
Veronica frowned, unable to resist asking curiously, âRepair what?â
Her question drew disdainful looks from everyone present, leaving the middleâaged woman speechless.
Veronicaâs grandmother smacked her hand in annoyance, âKids shouldnât interrupt when adults are talking!â
Veronica pulled back her slightly stinging hand, clueless about what sheâd asked wrong. She sulked, âGrandma, Iâm not a kid anymore; Iâm even older than Ellinortâ
Her grandmother frowned, âThis isnât your business; go back to your room!â
âAlright, Iâll shut up.â
She didnât really want to go back to her room; she wanted to stay and see how things turned out.
Although she never really liked Ellinor, she didnât believe Ellinor was the problem child the middleâaged woman was making her out to be.
She had tried to find out what was wrong with Ellinor but found that, apart from being average, Ellinor had no issues.
Seeing Theo silent, the middleâaged woman seized the opportunity to say, âMr. Blanchet, you come from a prestigious family; you really shouldnât marry a liar like Ellinor, sheâs not worthy of you.
But itâs not too late; with your status and conditions, it would be easy for you to find a good girl after a divorce.â
Theo looked at the woman without changing his expression, âMaâam, it sounds like you know a lot about this ârepairâ procedure you speak of.â
âUhâ¦â The middleâaged woman was obviously awkward when it came to talking about ârepairâ
procedures; she said unnaturally, âIâve seen some ads and heard some girls wi `repairâ themselves so they could marry into a good family. Mr. Blanchet, you must be careful!â
Theo laughed. His laugh was cold and devoid of emotion, âI can judge for myself whether my wifeâs body has been artificially altered, thereâs no need for outsiders to worry From the day she was with me, she isâ¦â
Ellinor blushed at his words. If he kept going, she would be embarrassed.
Men have no shame!
*Enough, stop talking. Maâam, if you have any grievances, you can sue me in court; weâll go through the legal process.â
Ellinor interrupted him.
Theo hadnât finished speaking; he smirked slightly as his large hand covered Ellinorâs head, lightly stroking her hair, and teasing her in a low voice, âWhy so shy all of a sudden? Did you forget when you kissed me in front of everyone?â
Ellinor turned red, âTheo!â
Grandmaâs still here!
