Chapter 198
Janah looked at Bryan with a grin and said, âBryan, did you catch that? Theo wants another treat
from you!â
Byran's gaze was focused on Elinor Startled out of his reverie by Jonah, he stammered. âUh, Theo,
my bank card has been frozen by my bro. I blew my secret stash on the feast yesterday I'm broke
today, I can't host another dinner
Theo, expressionless, gave a slight nod, saying âNo worries, sheâs picking up the tab todayâ
Who? Elinor realized he meant her and instantly frowned, looking unhappy
Why should she treat these people? She barely knew them!
Plus, she was just a plus one that Theo brought along, right?
All eyes fell on todayâs host, Elinor...
Embarrassed, she quickly turned away.
After a brief pause, Theo smiled and gently ruffled her hair. "Hmm, Ms. Mendoza makes a good
point. Save your money for what you want, and use mine however you please Is that okay?"
Seeing that Theo didn't tease her, Elinor breathed a sigh of relief. She beamed, âTheo, don't worry! I
won't be shy about spending!â
A gentle smile played on Theo's lips as he watched her, his gaze softening
Not too far away, Haillie watched Theo and Elinor's interaction with displeasure. She found their
coziness irritating
She'd never seen Theo so attentive to a woman, listening so patiently as if making concessions.
This wasn't the Theo she knew!
After a moment of thought, Haillie put on a friendly smile and walked over, saying, âElinor, I didn't
notice you were here too. Is this your first time riding?â
Elinor turned to look at Haillie; her feelings towards this woman were tainted because of the watch
incident.
âNo, I've ridden a few times before.â
âReally? Haillie said, forcing a smile but thinking that Elinor was just putting on a brave face. How
could a girl with her background have had the chance to ride horses?
âWell, that's even better. We can have a little race laterâ
