Chapter1109
Ellinor shoved off the big hand on her face, grumbling, “You know exactly what you’ve been up to; do I really need to spell it out?”
Theo raised an eyebrow, trying to recall what he might have done but was clueless.
“Did I piss you off again? I just got back and wanted to kiss you. I even held back when you didn’t want to! What else did I do?”
Hearing him bluntly say “wanted to kiss you,” Ellinor’s cheeks flushed slightly, but her annoyance didn’t fade.
Since it had come to that, she decided to lay it all out.
“Theo Blanchet!” It was rare for Ellinor to call out his full name.
Typically, she only did this when things got serious, to which Theo immediately responded, “I’m here.”
Ellinor stared at him, asking, “While you were abroad, did you stay with any other women?”
The question caught Theo off guard. He thought for a moment, then it clicked, “So, you’re mad about that? I was wondering why you’ve been so cold!”
Seeing him dodge the question, Ellinor got even more pissed, “If you know why I’m mad, then why not just come clean? If you dare lie to me, either keep me in the dark forever or be prepared to cut ties with me!”
Seeing Ellinor so serious, Theo got a bit nervous. He reached out, pulling her into his embrace, “Why would you say something that scares me like that?”
Ellinor tried to break free but failed, so she landed a punch on him, “I’m serious, I’m not joking! If you lie, we’re done!”
Ellinor’s fist hit his chest, causing him pain. But he didn’t let go, instead he held her tighter and whispered, “No, I was just ona business trip. I didn’t stay with any other women! I wouldn’t dare!”
Though his words were filled with affection, Ellinor’s gaze turned icy.
“Are you lying to me? Before you came back, I clearly heard a woman’s voice when you were on the phone! And one day, a woman picked up your call, saying you were sleeping! What woman has the right to be in your room when you’re sleeping? Dare you say you didn’t stay with any other women?”
Ellinor felt disappointed. If Theo had told her the truth, she might have believed his explanation.
Maybe some female friend or colleague from out of town had to spend the night at his place due to some unavoidable circumstances, and nothing happened.
But he flat–out denied it, which was a blatant lie!
Seeing Ellinor’s face d’arken, Theo rubbed his temples, quickly explaining honestly, “You’re right, I was sleeping, but not at home; it was at the office out of
town.
Handling overseas matters is tough, so I had to work overtime that day, stayed in the office overnight, and didn’t go back to my place.
The one who picked up my call was a secretary there; she happened to hear the phone ringing when she was tidying up the office, so she answered.
I meant to call you that day and explain, but you didn’t pick up, and I forgot.
Due tomy tight work schedule, I couldn’t find time to properly contact you. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist coming back to you if I did, so I’ve been resisting checking my phone.
Sure enough, after your call yesterday, I missed you so much that I immediately flew back.”
