Theo grabbed a napkin, gently wiping some food grease from her mouth. âWho's getting the wrong ide
Ellinor frowned, pushing his hand away âExactly I'm the one getting the
wrong idea! If you keep acting all flirty, anyone would overthink i
Theo grabbed her chin again, twisting her face towards him and leaning in closer. âWhat if there's
no misunderstanding, and I'm acting this way because I like you?"
Ellinor was taken aback. âDon't joke like that, it's not funny!â
She hated people who just casually threw around the word âlikeâ
Just yesterday. Theo confessed his feelings for Patricia so openly, and now heâs saying he likes her
Does he think sheâs some kind of fool?
Theo gazed at her eyes, filled with a hint of resentment, âYou're right, I'm not acting like myself anymor
Who? Who affected him? Ellinor felt innocent and wanted to argue, âYou're the one...
He touched her lips coldly. âDon't talk, just listenâ
She stayed silent, quietly watching him.
He looked at her senously and sincerely, âI once said that I could give you anything but love Because in
had feelings for you:
Ellinorâs heart fluttered, and she looked at him doubtfully are you messing with me?â
She still didn't believe it, even after all hed said.
Theo laughed helplessly âStop making me angry Let me get a good night's sleep!â
He let go of her and leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes and looking utterly drained.
Seeing him so worn out, Ellinor felt a pang of sympathy
She knew this man had great power and influence. He could have anything he wanted. He didn't need
But she still got up and took a blanket from the hospital bed, covering him with it.
Ellinor looked at his face as she was tucking him in taking a good long look. She thought to herself: he"
She was so close to him that when Theo suddenly opened his eyes, she jumped back. âTheo, you're not
âAre you trying to steal a kiss?" He teased.
Ellinor laughed. âIn your dreams!â
Theo's eyes sparkled with mischief as he gently touched her face, âEllinor, stop shutting me out.â
Ellinor was a bit confused, âHaven't I already let you in?"
âI mean, into your heart."
With that, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Ellinor sat there, stunned She blinked her mind a whirl.
The next morning
Ellinor woke up in Theo's arms.
Her head rested on his arm, and it was only when she felt how hard it was that she woke up.
Thea was quietly watching her, he'd probably been awake for a while.
âUh. Theo how did we end up.â Sleeping together?
Just as she felt uncomfortable, a knock on the door broke the awkward moment.
Theo got up and opened the door
Patricia greeted him with a smile, âGood morning, Theo!"
She held a metallic thermos in her hands, âTheo, my mom made soup. I couldn't finish it by myself, so I
Theo turned to Ellinor, âDo you want some?â
Ellinor shook her head
She didn't trust Patricia, and her allergies hadn't cleared up yet. It was
best to avoid anything from Patricia
Theo turned back to Patricia and explained, âShe's allergic, she can't just eat anythingâ
Patricia smiled awkwardly, understanding, âRight, I should we thought of that?
At that moment, a doctor walked in with two police officers
âEllinor, the police are looking for youâ
Ellinorâs face changed, she frowned, âThe police are looking for me?â
The policeman showed his badge, âEllinor, come with us. You're suspected of being involved in a crimin
