Chapter 252
Ellinor was speaking in a super aggressive tone, and it was downright rude.
What the heck happened?
A frown creased Theo’s forehead, “Why on earth are you all riled up out of the blue?”
Ellinor threw up her hands. “Theo, I’m not mad at you! I just feel like we don’t need to play house when no one is around, we don’t need to nurture feelings, either. We should keep some distance between us!”
The woman in Theo’s heart, Patricia, seemed to be making a comeback soon.
He seemed to have feelings for Patricia still
Therefore, she had zero interest in being a part of someone else’s love story.
Byran and Haillie were giving her a hard time because of this.
As for that night a few days ago, it was a last resort for her to be with Theo because he was poisoned. She would wipe that memory from her mind, seal it off forever like it never even happened
After this, when they don’t need to pretend to be a couple, she must keep a distance from Theo to ease her conscience!
All her words were driving Theo up the wall!
Till now, she thinks he’s just playing along with her.
She wouldn’t fail to notice his feelings for her if she paid attention.
“Keep a distance? Theo retorted, “Sure, then kindly remove yourself, don’t sleep in my room. After all, men and women should keep a distance, right?”
“Fine! I’m out!”
Ellinor nodded, forcefully shrugged off Theo’s arm around her waist, and bolted, she would sleep in the guest room!
She really left?
A vein popped on Theo’s forehead, he ground out his cigarette, picked up the water glass on the table, and drained it in one gulp.
He lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, he was seriously pissed.
What the heck was this woman playing at?
Suddenly, the vibration of the phone caught Theo’s attention.
Theo lazily blew out a puff of smoke, squinting toward the source of the noise…
His phone on the bedside table vibrated, which he gave Ellinor a few days ago.
Theo stubbed out his cigarette, picked up the phone, and answered it.
The call was from Belinda
“Theo, are you and Ellinor home yet?”
“Yeah.”
“Is Ellinor next to you right now?”
Recalling Ellinor’s recent behavior, Theo replied with displeasure, “She’s already asleep, what do you need her for?”
After confirming that Ellinor wouldn’t hear, Belinda relaxed a bit, her voice getting louder.
“Oh, I don’t need anything from Ellinor! I just wanted to ask if you guys had some kind of misunderstanding. You both were ignoring each other in the car, what happened?”
Theo said with a frown, “Mind your own business.”
Belinda grumbled, “Theo! I’m older than Ellinor by half a year, okay? And while I’ve only been engaged once and didn’t end up getting married, I’m sure I have way more experience in love than you do! Come on, Theo, tell me what happened, maybe I can help analyze it!”
Theo rubbed his temples, impatiently saying, “Nothing, she’s just pissed for some odd reason.”
Belinda immediately retorted, “That’s impossible! We, girls, don’t just get mad for no reason! Especially a smart woman like Ellinor, there must be a reason!”
Theo squinted, “And what reason do you think that would be?”
Belinda pondered, “Let me guess. Theo, have you ever told Ellinor that you like her?”
Theo remained silent
Belinda sighed helplessly, “I knew it Theo, you definitely wouldn’t say it directly! But if you don’t tell her, how is Ellinor supposed to know you like her?”
Like her?
