Chapter 1118
A
Up until the last moment, Ellinor was still hoping that guy would spit out the truth.
But then, seeing his cocky attitude, Ellinor felt bored to death. She thought, “Seriously, how boring can this get?”
With a blank face, she looked at Theo, a face that once made her heart race, and said calmly, “Standing here, you’re just bothering me. Because I don’t want to see you right now!”
Theo’s eyes turned colder, asking. “You don’t want to see me? Ellinor, do I really piss you off that much?”
“Damn right, you piss me off!” Ellinor smirked sarcastically, her eyes filled with mockery, “Mr. Blanchet, I admit, I kissed you on purpose to dodge a blind date. My bad. But I’ve paid my dues. I owe you nothing now! And you-do you find it amusing to chase a woman who couldn’t care less about you? Well, I’m done playing!”
Theo’s brows furrowed, his gaze sharp, and he asked her, “Playing? You think I’ve been playing with you all this time, is that it?”
Ellinor laughed and said, “Speak up, isn’t it true? You seem to enjoy this whole charade! Enough is enough. It’s time to call it quits!”
She pushed him away and bolted, not wanting to give him a second glance!
Theo grabbed her again, yanking her back, then let go abruptly, “You’re not going anywhere! If you don’t want to see me, then I’ll leave!”
With those words, he lowered his head and walked out of the room with firm steps.
The door slammed shut. The noise was deafening.
The sudden commotion startled Ellinor, leaving her with nothing but emptiness in her eyes.
The room was warm, but she felt cold.
Woken up by the racket, Marissa Blanchet knocked on the door, “Ellinor? Are you in there?”
Even though she was disappointed in Theo, she wouldn’t lash out at an innocent person. So, she masked her true feelings, opened the door, and managed to smile, “Marissa, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Seeing her pale and worn-out face, Marissa felt a pang of sorrow, “Ellinor, I heard you and Theo arguing. What happened? Did that rascal upset you? Tell me, I’ll give him a good talking to!”
Ellinor shook her head, “It’s okay, he and I just had a little spat. Sorry for disturbing your peace. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine!”
She could tell Marissa really cared about her, even wanting to scold her own grandson for her.
But Theo’s problem wasn’t something that could be solved with a few words.
Marissa took Ellinor’s hand with concern, “Ellinor, I know my grandson can be stubborn and too straightforward. It must be tough dealing with him. He tends to forget everything when he’s busy and might neglect your feelings. I’ll talk to him when I get a chance. How dare he treat you like this, especially when you’re pregnant? He’s really regressing as he grows up!”
Ellinor forced a smile, “Marissa, thank you for understanding. Don’t worry about us; you should get some rest.”
Marissa patted Ellinor’s hand, “Alright, I’ll go back to my room then. You should also get some rest. Don’t let Theo upset you. It’s not good for your health and not worth it! I’ll talk to him first thing in the morning.”
Ellinor nodded, watching Marissa go back to her room. She was about to close the door for some peace when Veronica and Baber appeared from around the corner.
“Ellinor, wait, don’t close the door!”
Ellinor paused, looking at Veronica with indifference.
Leading Baber, Veronica approached and frowned, “I heard everything. You just lied to Grandma. The problem between you and my brother is far from a trivial spat. It’s like you’re on the brink of divorce!”
