Chapter 173
“That’s a relief” Collin heaved a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Ms. Mendoza, Mr. Blanchet would be hopping mad.
From the moment today’s incident happened. Collin noticed that Mr. Blanchel’s concern for Ms. Mendoza had far surpassed the definition of a contract marriage.
Mr. Blanchet cared about Ms. Mendoza. A lot.
“Mr. Blanchet, there’s a thunderstorm coming up. The helicopter can’t take off! I’ve arranged for a car nearby. It’s here now Why don’t you get Ms. Mendoza in the car first?”
Upon hearing this, Ellinor realized something. So they came by helicopter No wonder they arrived so fast!
Theo then ordered “You stay here and wait for the police to arrive. Make sure they nab those guys no one should slip through the net!”
Collin nodded, “Yes, Mr. Blanchet, III see to it!”
After giving instructions to his subordinate, Theo picked up Ellinor, turned around, and strode toward the car ahead.
Collin followed behind with an umbrella…
Ellinor felt a bit awkward. “Theo, I’m not hurt, I can walk…”
As she spoke, she tried to wriggle out of his hold…
Theo’s strong arm tightened, gripping her securely, and warned, “Don’t move! Keep fidgeting and I’ll dump you in the ditch!”
Ellinor stopped moving immediately, rolled her eyes and pouted. This guy’s good side doesn’t last more than three seconds!
Theo placed Ellinor in the passenger seat, then personally buckled her seat belt…
The two were very close to each other.
Ellinor felt uncomfortable, instinctively tried to fasten the seatbelt herself, but accidentally yanked Theo who was bent over her….
Pulled by her, Theo’s chin naturally rested on her collarbone Turning his head, his lips unintentionally brushed against her fair neck…
Theo’s throat went dry with heat. He swallowed, released her, and straightened up.
Due to the previous contact, Ellinor turned her face away in embarrassment, blinking awkwardly…
After Theo stood up straight, he stood by the car door and stared at her for a while, his gaze burning
At this moment, she looked oddly attractive.
Then, Theo reached out to close the car door for her, loosened his tie in annoyance, walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat, and got in.
It was pouring rain, and the car was driving on a country road, the windshield wipers swinging back and forth…
The two people in the car were silent, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Clearing her throat, Ellinor asked, “Theo, didn’t you say you wouldn’t care about me and let the kidnappers do whatever they wanted? Why did you come looking for me?”
Theo glanced at her. “You heard that?”
Leaning on her hand and looking out the window, Ellinor pouted and complained, “Yeah, I not only heard it, I also think you were being really mean!”
Theo gazed at the road ahead, his voice deep as he explained, “If I had shown any intention to save you then, those people would have been more cautious and might have tortured you in the cruelest way to provoke me. Moreover, this matter had to be handled secretly, we couldn’t let anyone know. Otherwise, more and more people would want to kidnap you to threaten me in the future. Even after our relationship ends, you wouldn’t be able to live a peaceful life.”
Yeah, that’s the truth!
Theo’s status was unique, and there must be plenty of people who wanted to find his weaknesses to manipulate him.
Ellinor sneered, propped her cheek lazily, turned her head to look at Theo, “So, you do realize that your actions can cause trouble for other people
Her eyes were challenging as she spoke, her lips red, her teeth white….
Theo’s eyes turned bloodshot, his throat even drier. Just a quick glance at her stirred a strong urge from within, his whole body frembling.
As a grown man, he knew exactly what this feeling meant.
Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes!
Ellinor was thrown forward by inertia, then yanked back by the seatbelt, leaning back in her seat, her face full of surprise, “What are you doing?”
‘Get out!” Theo said coldly
Ellinor was dumbfounded, her face full of confusion, “Why? It’s raining outside! What did I do wrong?”
