Chapter 209
But Theo had already spotted her. She had no choice but to go over, or she wouldn’t have a way to explain why she didn’t.
Ellinor sighed and walked over. “Theo, I’m back
Theo was sipping a cup of coffee when he glanced at her, “What did he tell you?”
Ellinor shook her head boredly. ‘Nothing worth mentioning. He’s too naive”
Theo suddenly felt unhappy. She had promised to tell him what Byran said when she returned. Was she lying to him?
Jonah patted the stool next to him, grinning “Ellinor, have a seat. Let’s chat!”
Ellinor glanced at Jonah, she didn’t want to chat with him at all. He’d definitely make her uncomfortable.
Just then, Belinda ran over from a distance, “Ellinor! Let’s pick a horse. It’s cool in the morning and perfect for a horse race. I’ll get super–hot at noon!”
Ellinor looked at Belinda, then at Theo, and asked earnestly. “Theo, can I go?”
Although she wouldn’t always obey Theo, he brought her here today, mainly to play the mole of his wife. So she had to respect his opinion.
If he let her go, she could leave his side.
Theo, who was originally upset with her for not telling the truth about Byran, felt happy again when he heard her asking for his permission
He looked at her affectionately and nodded slightly, “Go have fun
“Thanks, Theo!”
After a small laugh, Ellinor turned around and followed Belinda to the stables.
Theo sipped his coffee, watching Ellinor until she was out of sight.
Jonah saw this and joked, “Theo, you’ve become so gentle lately! What happened? Did Ellinor charm you?”
Theo glared at him, “Do you have a problem?”
Jonah shrugged, “No problem, I’m just curious about what magic Ellinor had to make you fall for her.”
Theo was expressionless, but he coldly replied to Jonah. “Stop being so curious about other people’s wives”
Kemp spoke up. “He just needs a woman to keep him in check!”
Jonah crossed his legs. “Kemp, don’t curse me just because you were once controlled by a woman!”
Kemp growled, “Are you asking for trouble?”
Bartlett stood up and laughed. “Alright, let’s not sit around. Let’s go horse riding. How about a race?”
Jonah leaned back in his chair, “Bartlett, you guys go ahead. It’s too hot for me!*
Bartlett laughed helplessly, “Jonah, you arranged this outing. Why aren’t you participating now?
Kemp said coldly, “Ignore him!”
Jonah retorted immediately, “Kemp, how could you treat me like this?”
At the stables.
Among the hundreds of horses, Ellinor picked out a white one with a black spot on its forehead.
She was about to lead the white horse out when she heard someone say, “You won’t be able to handle that horse. You better choose another one.”
It was Haillie
