Chapter 1258
“We both know damn well whether or not the kid is mine.”
Ellinor adjusted her bathrobe, flashing a flirty smile. “Mr. Blanchel, you sure are cocky, aren’t you? Are you so sure? How do you know I haven’t been with any other men?”
Theo squinted, his mood darkening. “You’d really trash your own reputation just to cut ties with me?”
Ellinor stayed silent.
Theo’s expression turned sarcastic. “Don’t worry, I’m not as low as you think. I’m not here to hassle you. But I hope you won’t get involved with any other men before my child is
born.”
Ellinor frowned, disliking his commanding tone. “Whether I see other men or not is none of your business!”
Theo glared at her. “Fine. Let’s see how you exercise your freedom.”
Ellinor asked cautiously, “What are you saying? What are you planning?”
Theo smirked. “Maybe you should get dressed first. You actually think you can go out looking like that?”
“Mind your own business!” Ellinor snapped, blushing with anger.
Theo didn’t say anything else; he just turned and left the room.
Bartlett had been knocking on the door and was taken aback when it suddenly opened. He tried to rush in to find Ellinor, but Theo blocked him.
“She’s changing. What are you barging in for?”
Bartlett was stunned and glanced at Ellinor in the room. She was standing there, and she seemed to be okay, so he sighed in relief.
Then Bartlett closed the door to Ellinor’s room.
“Theo, I know you and Ellinor used to have something, but she doesn’t want to be with you anymore. I hope you can respect her decision.”
Theo stared coldly at Bartlett. “And who are you to be telling me this?”
Bartlett paused and then smiled. “I’m speaking as Ellinor’s new suitor, is that okay?”
“No.”
Theo said, “Even if I don’t want her, it doesn’t mean you can pick her up. Stay away from her. I can let go of the fact that you helped her run away.”
Bartlett was taken aback, his smile turning cruel, “Theo, are we really going to fall out over this?”
Theo was taller than Bartlett. He looked down at him with an overpowering aura. “It’s not me who wants to fall out, it’s you who’s asking for it. You should have thought about this when you helped another man’s wife run away.”
With that. Theo turned and walked away.
After a few steps, he turned back and glared at Bartlett. “Aren’t you leaving? Are you planning to spend the night here?”
Bartlett shrugged. “It’s morning. What do you mean spend the night?”
Theo squinted. “Aren’t you leaving?”
Bartlett clenched his jaw, then put on his usual smile, knocked on Ellinor’s door, and said, “Ellinor, I’m leaving now. I’ll come see you later,”
Without getting a response from Ellinor, Bartlett followed Theo out
When Ellinor came out after changing, no one was at the door.
She opened the front door, and the elevator in front of her was slowly closing.
In the elevator were Theo and Bartlett.
Bartlett was smiling at her.
Theo was also looking at her; red veins could clearly be seen in his deep eyes.
Ellinor didn’t understand what Theo’s eyes meant, but for some reason, she fell he looked very tired.
Did she actually feel bad for him?
Was she nuts? After all that had happened, she still felt pity for that man!
