Chapter 1202
Ellinor took a sip of her lemon water. “Sophia, you expect me, a stranger, to deal with your insomnia caused by excessive curiosity? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?” Sophia shrugged and threw up her hands. “Alright! If you’re not keen on talking about the past, I won’t ask! Let’s eat; you need to fill up!”
Her phone started to vibrate.
Ellinor glanced down. It was a message from Bartlett.
“I’m here.”
She put down her lemon water, gathered her things, and stood up. “I’m full. My friend is here to pick me up; I won’t intrude on your meal any longer. Bye!”
Theo didn’t show any particular reaction; he pushed his phone towards her. “Moon, could I get your contact details?”
Ellinor looked at his phone screen. “Mr. Blanchet, don’t you already have my email address? If you need anything. Just email me. It’s not convenient for me to leave any other contact details.”
With that, Ellinor turned and left.
Sophia watched Moon’s back. “Thea, do you think that Moon could be…”
Before Sophia could finish, Theo stood up and followed her out.
Ellinor exited the restaurant and got straight into a white Bugatti. The car slowly drove away as the scene faded into the unfathomable eyes of Theo inside the glass door of the restaurant.
Inside the white Bugatti, Ellinor’s hand tightly gripped the seat belt as she let out a long sigh.
The car wasn’t going fast, but the way Ellinor was gripping the seat belt made the man driving a little worried. “Are you okay? Not feeling well?”
Ellinor shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Bartlett reached over, patting her shoulder in a comforting manner. “It’s okay; don’t worry, I’m here.”
Ellinor gave Bartlett a weak look. “Didn’t you say you were sending someone to pick me up? Why did you come by yourself?”
Bartlett gave a wry smile. “How could I not worry when you said you were having dinner with Theo? So I decided to pick you up myself.”
“There’s no need to worry; I played my part well. He didn’t suspect a thing.”
She was still wearing an incredibly convincing mask; even at close range, you couldn’t spot a flaw. Bartlett wasn’t worried about Theo discovering anything.
What he was worried about was her falling for Theo again.
“So, after half a year of not seeing him, how did it feel to have dinner with him today?” Bartlett asked tentatively.
“I felt nothing.” Ellinor leaned back in her seat casually and replied.
Bartlett raised an eyebrow. “You really felt nothing? You didn’t look like you felt nothing.”
“I felt very uncomfortable!”
Bartlett laughed. “That’s good; I thought the moment you saw him, you’d ditch me.”
Ellinor rolled her eyes. “When did I ever choose you? Don’t make up stories!”
Bartlett shrugged. “Okay, guess I overthought it. Since we’re out, where do you want to go? I can take you there.”
Ellinor waved her hand. “No need; I don’t want to go anywhere; just take me home. I’m really tired; I want to go back and sleep.”
