Chapter 174
Theo looked ahead with a cold expression, not even glancing at her, and impatiently said, “Get off the car and sit in the back”
Ellinor felt angry She hadn’t said anything excessive, so why was this man getting mad? His emotions changed so quickly!
Fine, she would get off the car and sit in the back where she’d be more comfortable. No need to look at his face!
Ellinor unfastened her seatbelt, prepared to open the car door, and before leaving, she gave the man a glare. In that moment, she suddenly noticed that Theo’s hand gripping the steering wheel was clenched tightly, as if he was struggling to restrain something…
She furrowed her brows and tentatively asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Theo didn’t answer “Get off immediately!”
Ellinor began to sense that something was off. So she pulled the car door shut again, turned around, and looked at Theo seriously. “If you’re feeling unwell, don’t continue driving I can take over for you”
Suddenly, Theo turned his face to look at her, his gaze predatory, with an abnormal redness in his eyes….
Ellinor froze. “What’s wrong with you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Theo grabbed her by the collar and pulled her towards him. He held her head firmly in his hands and kissed her forcefully!
Ellinor was startled, her eyes widening, and she pushed him away with force…
What on earth was happening! The car was still in the middle of the road!
His kisses grew deeper, yet he seemed to feel it wasn’t enough, like he was under some sort of spell, greedily taking in her taste.
Ellinor became furious and fiercely bit him!
The pain made Theo regain some clarity. He stopped and forcibly maintained his composure. He released her, wiped away the blood from his lip, his breath heavy, and warned, “If you don’t want me to lose control, sit in the back!”
Ellinor realized something. She didn’t have time to be angry. She quickly grabbed his wrist and furrowed her brows. “What did you eat tonight?”
Theo struggled to control his desires as he looked at her. “What do you think?”
Ellinor figured it out. “Did you go to Moonscape Hotel tonight and meet Sheila Mendoza?”
Even in his almost unconscious state, mention of the hotel sparked annoyance in Theo’s eyes, and he sarcastically replied, “Wasn’t it you who asked me to go? Said you wanted to personally cook and make it up to me?”
Ellinor touched her forehead, understanding Sheila must have put something in his food. Now the effects were taking hold!
Sheila was always scheming to attach herself to powerful men. She and her mother would go to any lengths to achieve their goals!
The only thing that puzzled her was why Theo clearly had no interest in Sheila. He wasn’t the kind of person who was easily fooled So why would he easily eat something Sheila made in the hotel room?
Ellinor didn’t know that the only reason Theo was willing to try it was because he thought she made it herself.
Ellinor looked up and asked, “Tell me, what did you eat?”
The key now was to find the cause and solve the problem!
Seeing that Ellinor seemed to have some medical knowledge, Theo felt a surge of warmth, despite her cute and charming appearance.
Theo coldly turned his head, his voice hoarse, and said, “A dish with a particular type of fungus.”
It was that kind of mushroom! A relatively uncommon ingredient.
She had come across it in medical books before. This type of mushroom was known to enhance intimacy between couples, and consuming it would intensity pleasure for spouses, making it difficult for men to control their emotions. Its effects were incredibly potent.
The worst part was, there was no antidote for it.
Only sexual activity could dissipate its effects…
After reaching this conclusion, Ellinor immediately released his wrist, avoiding any physical contact that would stimulate his desires. “You seem to be under the influence of that type of fungus.”
