Chapter 15

Ellinor’s face started turning purplish-red.

Marissa, having just caught her breath, quickly said, “Theo, let her go."

Only then did Theo loosen his grip, shoving Ellinor aside to ask, “Granny, are you okay?"

Marissa weakly waved her hand, “I'm okay now. I just had a dale pit stuck in my throat. Ellinor saved m

out”

Theo paused, looking down at the insignificant pit on the floor, then back at Ellinor, his brows slightly fu

Ellinor, pushed harshly to the ground, picked herself up and rubbed her sore arm..

She then walked over to Marissa and explained, “Marissa, I baked that dessert for myself this morning. I

She bowed sincerely, then straightened up to look at Theo, “Mr. Blanchet, I suggest you call

a doctor for a check-up, just to be safe”

With that, she turned and went upstairs, back to her room.

Theo watched Ellinor’s thin figure, his expression complex.

Marissa, having been frightened, was helped into her room for a rest.

In the afternoon, their family doctor came to check on Marissa, took her blood pressure, and confirmed

After the doctor left, a revived Marissa said, “Veronica, you go out, I have some words with your brothe:

Veronica was reluctant but left obediently at Theo's stern look.

Now alone, Theo walked beside the bed, asking. “Do you feel unwell anywhere?”

Marissa looked up at her tall grandson and smiled kindly. “I'm fine, Theo, don't worry."

“I'm glad you're okay.” Theo said.

Marissa asked, “Theo, how did you meet this Ellinor?"

“Coincidentally” Theo said.

Marissa slowly nodded. “That girl is good, I like her"

A hint of surprise flashed in Theo's eyes, then he squinted, “Just because she just saved you?"

He remembered that before he came back, his grandmother had even punished her. Now she liked her:

Appreciation shone in Marissa’s eyes, “Ms. Mendoza is calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogar

Indeed.

Theo thought about how he almost choked her just now, and didn't say a word.

“Theo, you haven't spent the night with her yet, have you?" Marissa asked.

The topic changed abruptly, and Theo's face turned serious.

Marissa joked, “You're almost thirty years old, what's there to be shy about!”

Theo didn't respond.

“Theo, I know, you rushed into this marriage to deal with your grandfather's pressure, but I think the wi

Theo didn't explain anything to Marissa.

Marissa continued, “On your wedding day, I was abroad with your grandfather preparing for his surger.

Theo's face was solemn, “Granny, I think...”

Marissa frowned, “If you don't listen to me, I'll tell your grandfather that you faked the marriage to dec

Theo rubbed his temples, “Granny, I'll have dinner sent in later. You should rest after eating.”

With that, Theo turned to leave.

Chapter 15

Marissa didn't give up. “I hope you two don't disappoint me.

When Theo returned to his room, he saw Ellinor sitting at the desk, writing something, not even looking

He walked behind her, looking at what she was writing. “Doing homework?”

Ellinor, focused on her work, retorted, “I'm copying your family rules! It's the 21st century and your fam

still has rules, how outdated.”

Theo took her pen, “No need to copy, no one will punish you again.”

Ellinor stretched, “Then I go take a bath and sleep.”

After the earlier clash, Ellinor had a deeper understanding of the power difference between her and The

Ellinor got up and walked around Theo, trying to stay as far from him as possible, but her arm was sud

“Ah!” She winced in pain, “What are you doing?"

Theo squinted at her, “You still feel pain?”

He was gripping her injured arm! When Theo

pushed her today, her arm hit the corner of the coffee table and got hurt.

Ellinor was unhappy, “This injury is also caused by you!"

Theo paused, then let go, “Go downstairs and have the family doctor treat your wound.”

“It's okay, I just scraped my skin, it’s no big deal” Ellinor didn't want to go downstairs. She shook off his

After she finished showering and changed into her pajamas, she prepared to go to bed.

“Come here!" The man’s voice rang out coldly.

Seeing Theo lazily leaning on a single sofa, his gaze proud like an emperor.

She had no intention to go over, “What's up?”

The man’s face was handsome as he slowly pointed to the medical kit on the table, “Let me apply medi

Ellinor smirked a little, “No need, thanks for your kindness!"

Theo's gaze deepened, he said, “You come over, or should 17"

Ellinor was fed up. She didn't want the guy to approach her bed. Gritting her teeth, she got up and exte

The medical kit was just delivered. Theo intended for her to treat her own wound, but she seemed to m

He'd never taken care of anyone before, and didn't intend to start now.

He opened the medical kit, dabbed a cotton swab into some ointment, and slowly applied it to the girl's

Ellinor had intentionally extended her arm to him in a fit of pique, she didn't expect Mr. Blanchet to act

Theo was expressionless, “I injured you today, and

it's my responsibility. As for my grandmother, don’t hold a grudge. She won't be here much longer.”

Ellinor shook her head, “Your grandmother isn't a bad person!”

Theo looked at her, “She made you copy house rules, don’t you think she’s bad?”

Ellinor pouted, “Only bad people make others copy house rules? That's probably the harshest punishme

She didn't continue. Theo's gaze became tense, “Would do what?"

She spoke too quickly earlier, and Ellinor felt no need to share her experiences with a stranger.

“It's nothing! Is the ointment applied yet? If it's done, I'm going to sleep!” She said.

After applying the ointment, Theo didn't let go of her arm.

Ellinor

assumed Theo still had concerns, so she assured him, “Don’t worry, I promised you I would cooperate fc

be annoying, but your grandmother is just misunderstood and protective of her

granddaughter. I understand and won't hold it against her"

Theo looked deeply Into Ellinor’s eyes.

He initially thought she would be difficult, but turned out she was quite understanding. Plus, she was ci

Ellinor had long, curled lashes and her small face had two dimples.

Theo suddenly stood up, startling Ellinor, “What?”

His long arm reached under her waist, lifting her up without warning!

Ellinor was scared as hell, “What are you doing?”

After she spoke, she was ruthlessly

thrown onto the bed. Theo took off his coat, loosened his tie, and started unbuttoning his shirt, his actic

Ellinor just

sat up to run, but was pushed back onto the bed by his large hand. This was her first time up close with

“Mr. Blanchet, you can't do this! Keep your cool, remember I'm not your type!” She shouted.

Theo's arms propped on either side of Ellinor's head, his gaze was like a wolf, staring down at her from

“What if I want to let loose tonight?” He said.

His strong body suddenly pressed down. Ellinor was about to scream, but her mouth was muzzled, “Mn
