The owner smiled and turned around to get busy.
Chapter 139
Theo asked casually, “You’re tight with the owner?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yeah, we come here often!”
“We?”
“Um… with my friends!”
Suddenly, he remembered how the owner had said he was more handsome than the previous man Ellinor had brought. So, she had brought other men here before?
Who was this previous guy?
Theo frowned, “Friend? An ex?”
Ellinor shook her head honestly. “Nope, I’ve never been in a relationship, so no exes! I just come here with some classmates and childhood friends!*
Theo immediately asked, “Classmate? The one who gave you the button?”
“Not him!” Ellinor answered without hesitation, then paused, “How did you know someone gave me a button?”
Theo kept a straight face, snorting. “Because I was around that day”
Ellinor thought for a moment, then remembered the graduation day when she had run into that male classmate while walking with Theo. He must have seen it.
‘He’s just a classmate, and we don’t really keep in touch. He said he wanted to give me the button as a keepsake. I didn’t think it was anything special, so I took it.”
Theo felt elated but kept his cool, “So, you have no idea what it means?”
Ellinor was puzzled, “What could a button possibly mean? I really have no idea. Let me look it up!”
As she grabbed her phone to search, Theo stopped her, “Don’t bother with trivial stuff. Eat up, let’s go home after.”
“Okay!” Ellinor was a little baffled, feeling that he was acting weird today. But she didn’t think much of it and focused on her kebabs. After eating, she felt full and satisfied
Sheila had intentionally made her skip meals all day, so she couldn’t help but overeat tonight. She was about to stand up with the help of the table when a gentlemanly hand suddenly extended towards her.
Ellinor blinked, looking up to see Theo frowning helplessly at her. After a moment’s hesitation, realizing she couldn’t stand up by herself, she took his hand to get up
Once she was on her feet, she thanked him and tried to pull her hand back, but Theo didn’t let go, leading her slowly towards his car.
Feeling embarrassed, she quickly said, “Wait, I haven’t paid yet!”
Theo nodded at Collin to settle the bill. With her hand held by Theo, Ellinor got shy
His rough, powerful hand was gently holding hers, not hurting her but preventing her from pulling away.
“Look, that guy is so handsome!”
“Her boyfriend is not only good–looking but also caring and gentle. Besides being envious, I don’t know what to say…”
