Chapter 254
After hanging up the phone, Ellinor flopped on the couch, continuing to munch on chips while watching TV
Twenty minutes later, Belinda rushed in, practically dragging her out to go shopping for Theo’s birthday gift.
Ellinor was at a loss Why on earth would she need to get a gift for Theo?
She’s just a stand in actress, playing the part of Thea’s wife for free, and now she’s expected to buy him a gift?
Downtown shopping street
VK Mall
Belinda was deeply engrossed in choosing from a luxury store’s dazzling array of exquisite accessories
“Ellinor, what kind of gift do you think. Theo would like?” Belinda asked.
Nonchalantly trying on sunglasses, Ellinor casually replied while checking herself in the mirror, “No idea”
Belinda furrowed her brows, turned to her, and said exasperatedly. “Ellinor, don’t you care at all about Theo? Don’t you ever try to figure out his likes and dislikes?”
Ellinor put on the sunglasses, raising an eyebrow, “Why should I figure out his likes? Is Theo some kind of rare species? Will studying him get me a Nobel Prize?”
Belinda stood there stunned, this was the first time she saw a woman so uninterested in Theo..
“You’re something else, Ellinor It’s this aloof attitude that drives a man to conquer. No wonder Theo is so into you!
Into her?
Since when did Theo become infatuated with her? Belinda always loved to imagine things that didn’t exist!
“Ellinor, if you don’t want to pick a gift, just buy him a shirt or something. As long as it’s from you, Theo will definitely like it! I know a brand, and the men’s clothes are super stylish! Come on, let’s go check it out!”
Just as Ellinor was putting back the sunglasses, Belinda dragged her into a designer menswear store
“Ellinor, what do you think of this outfit for Theo?”
Ellinor couldn’t be less interested in the finely designed, high–end menswear. She shook her head and said, “I think he has plenty of clothes like these at home, and he has so many he can’t even wear them all. He doesn’t need more of the same.”
“Yes, of course, Theo has enough clothes, but if it’s from you, it’ll be different! Ellinor, as his wife, you can’t possibly give him any gift on his birthday, right?”
Belinda’s words reminded Ellinor that she was playing the role of Theo’s wife, so she should get him a gift. That way, she could avoid being caught out by the Blanchet family!
Ellinor frowned, her gaze suddenly landing on the clearance sale sign in the menswear store across
She walked over to the clearance section and casually picked up a white T-shirt, “This one will do!”
Belinda followed her, looking at the white T–shirt in Ellinor’s hand, she burst into laughter.
The design of the T–shirt was very ordinary, but it had a cute little kitten printed on it, which looked extremely adorable.
“Ellinor? Isn’t this a bit too cute? Isn’t it a bit too much for a mature man like Theo?*
Ellinor dismissed her, “Theo is too conservative with his clothing, always in suits and ties. This will change his style and make him a bit more approachable
Belinda ‘But this is too
Ellinor didn’t care if the clothes suited Theo’s style; the gift was ready, and whether he liked it or not was his problem!
“Excuse me, can you wrap this up for me?”
“Sure, please make your payment at the front counter.”
Ellinor pulled out cash from her pocket to pay for the discounted T–shirt.
She deliberately didn’t use her phone or bank card to pay but took out the cash she had on her.
Because she was using Theo’s phone at the moment, paying with her phone would deduct money from Theo’s account
Buying a gift for Theo with his own money seemed a bit off to her So, Ellinor broke her usual habit and used her own money
Taking the clange from the cashier, Ellinor said to Belinda Tve bought the gift! Let’s go. Il treat you to some bubble tea!”
Belinda looked a bit awkward, she could hardly imagine the look on Theo’s face when he saw the gift Ellinor had bought for him.
UU Coffee
“Ellinor, you really are unlike any other woman!” Belinda said while sipping on her coffee.
Ellinor casually asked calmly. “Really? How to?”
Belinda looked at her in surprise, “Other women would seize every opportunity to splurge on Theo, but you are giving him such a cheap gift! Yet, he still cares so much about you, it’s simply amazing!”
Does Theo care about her?
Ellinor laughed. “Even if the gift is cheap, the thought counts
Belinda looked confused again, “But as women, shouldn’t we be trying our best to win our boyfriend’s heart? Aren’t you afraid that he won’t like you if you treat Theo this
way?”
Ellinor looked up at Belinda and said, “There are two things in this world that we can never hold onto.
