Chapter 159
Theo just gave her a cold glance, lifted her phone, and answered the call.
The voice on the other end of the line came through and Chase gently asked. ‘Ms. Mendoza, why’d you hang up without saying a word just now?
Ellinor fell silent
Theo looked at the guilty faced Ellinor, ‘Is this the ‘friend‘ you were talking about?”
Ellinor still had no response. He was actually my friend and subordinate, I just didn’t feel comfortable telling you. But she could never say these words
Luckily, she didn’t save Chase’s number Chase and Ida’s numbers have always been memorized, and as long as Chase doesn’t spill the beans, Theo would never know they’ve known each other for a while.
“Ms Mendoza, why aren’t you saying anything? Where are you? Do you want me to come over right now?”
Chase asked enthusiastically over the phone.
Theo squinted, slowly put down the phone, and held it near his mouth. In a cold voice, he said, “She’s married”
His tone was calm yet startling and filled with a strong sense of possessiveness, which firmly declared ownership.
Chase asked in surprise from the other end of the line, “What? Who are you?”
Theo coldly replied, “Her husband”
Chase was silent for a moment, then said in a heartbroken tone, “No! That’s impossible! I don’t believe it! Where’s Ms. Mendoza? I need to hear it from her…”
Before Chase could finish, Theo hung up the phone
With a grim look on his face, Theo handed the phone back to Ellinor and said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect you to be this impatient and call him back so quickly
Embarrassed, Ellinor chuckled, “It’s not what you think! When we were downstairs at Crescent Society, Mr. Larios said something strange to me I didn’t understand what he meant, so I wanted to call back and see if there was a misunderstanding…
Theo sneered, “A man publicly declares his love at first sight for you, and you don’t understand what he means? Do you need to call back and confirm? Ms Mendoza, do you think I would believe you don’t have ulterior motives? Or do you want to continue developing a relationship with him? Or maybe make it official?”
Ellinor was frustrated, “I’m not, I didn’t….
Theo firmly gripped her jaw, forcing her to look up at him, “Ellinor, how many times do I have to remind you? You are my wife now, you are not allowed to contact other men privately!”
Ellinor felt trapped, unable to escape his firm hold. She frowned in annoyance and said, “You re overthinking this! I’m not the person you think I am! We are not a real married couple, you have no right to check my phone; let alone answer my calls; that’s invading my privacy! Even if we were a real couple, if you keep doubting me like this, we would end up breaking up sooner or later!”
Theo,
Ellinor felt like her jaw was about to be crushed by him, “It hurts…”
Theo’s eyes flickered, he frowned, then let go of her.
Ellinor held her sore face, thought for a moment, and decided not to argue too fiercely with this man. After all, they still had to see each other often for the next two months! Besides, Sheila was still waiting for this gentleman to join her for lunch. If she didn’t calm him down soon, Sheila might notice something.
“Fine, I admit I was wrong. I’m sorry!”
She lowered her head regretfully compromising
Theo was slightly taken aback. Looking at her pitiful face, he wasn’t as angry anymore, “What did you do wrong?”
Ellinor pouted, “My mistake was making this call now, I should’ve waited until three months later! By then I won’t be Mrs. Blanchet anymore, and you won’t have any right to
control me!”
