Chapter 322
Theo took one look, then pocketed his phone, completely ignoring it.
Ellinor leaned against the steel railing of Donebridge, her hair billowing beautifully in the river wind, lo
She looked out at The Bund of Trent River, where she could see the tallest skyscraper in Greenhaven....
âWatch it, don't fall off!"
The man behind her grabbed her collar, just like he was grabbing a little rabbit.
In three seconds flat, the man ruined Ellinor's beautiful moment.
He lifted her off her feet, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable...
Sometimes she really thought the man treated her like a helpless
child, always managing her like this, it was so annoying!
âLet go of me! I'm not stupid, I wouldn't let myself fall off!"
Theo put her down further from the bridge, letting her feet touch the ground.
Then, Theo looked down at her, âYou think you're not stupid?â
âOf course I'm not stupid!"

He had just mentioned being in love...
Why was he comparing their current situation to being in love?
As she was pondering over his words, unsure if she had misunderstood...
Theo leaned over to look at her, âSo how do you young people date these days, can you teach me?â
Ellinor snapped back to reality, his words felt even more off, and she forced a laugh, âNothing much, ju:
Theo frowned, besides eating and drinking, everything else seemed like a waste of time to him.
âDo you also like to participate in these activities?"
Ellinor nodded, âI've been with my classmates before, it's quite fun!â
âAre you talking about male classmates or female classmates?â
Ellinor felt a bit flustered, it felt like when she was young, returning home after playing

parents.
She thought about it, she was not a child, she had nothing to fear, so she replied: âBoth male and femal
He was accused of being out of touch?
Theo's face darkened a bit, clearly trying to hold back his annoyance.
