Chapter 176
The phone had been ringing for a while before someone finally picked it up
“Hello?” Bryan Howard said cautiously, lowering his voice a bit. “Theo, I’m doing my homework What’s up?”
“It’s me.” Elinor chimed in.
“Elinor?” Bryan’s voice lifted a bit in surprise, then he quickly tried to soften it again, sounding slightly irritated. “Elinor, why are you calling me from Theo’s phone?”
“I was wondering is your sister at home? She asked
Bryan was a bit puzzled “Why? You need to see my sister?”
Elinor hesitated, feeling it was inappropriate to tell Bryan directly. “Theo Blanchet needs her right now. Could you check if she’s available to come over?
Bryan was even more confused. “My sister is abroad right now, it’ll take her a while to get back. Why does he need to see her? Why doesn’t he just call her himself?”
It was then that Elinor understood their predicament. The person they needed was miles away!
“Never mind then! Bye!” Elinor said it abruptly.
Bryan was annoyed ‘Elinor, can you finish what you’re saying?”
Elinor didn’t have time for chit–chat and quickly hung up. She had originally hoped Bryan’s sister could help Theo out with some issues. But Pearl was abroad!
Elinor sighed in frustration Theo’s phone suddenly buzzed again. She thought Bryan was calling back, but the caller ID showed it was Theo’s friend, Jonah Wyton
Her first instinct was to hand the phone to Theo, but given his current situation, she decided to answer it herself.
“Theo, where are you?” Jonah sounded casual.
“It’s me Elinor said it flatly.
Jonah laughed “Oh, where’s Theo?”
“He’s in the shower, can’t answer the phone” Elinor said it bluntly.
Jonah paused for a couple of seconds, then laughed in surprise. “Oh, I get it! Sorry to interrupt.”
Elinor widened her eyes, blushing as she understood the insinuation in Jonah’s words. “Wait, don’t hang up!”
Jonah was about to end the call “Hm? Anything else?”
Looking out at the rainy scenery, Elinor thought for a moment and asked, “Does Theo have any ex–girlfriends?”
Jonah didn’t expect such a question at this moment and chuckled “Why? You want to know about Theo’s past?”
Elinor sighed “No! I mean, can you help contact one of his ex–girlfriends? Maybe she could meet him?”
On the other end of the line, Jonah was leisurely enjoying a glass of wine in a club. He almost choked on his drink at Elinor’s request. “What? You want to reunite Theo with his ex? All three of you together? Elinor, you guys…play these games?”
Elinor was initially confused, not understanding his meaning, and asked what he meant by these games‘. She frowned. “It’s not like that! He’s in a special situation right now, and he needs a woman to come
Before she could even finish, a large hand suddenly snatched the phone from her!
Elinor froze, turning around to find Theo standing behind her, having seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
