Chapter 270
Patricia tugged gently at Theo’s sleeve, saying softly. “Theo, I’ve met Ellinor. She’s, just as you said, a really nice girl. I like her too.” Theo’s gaze shifted from Ellinor to Patricia He lowered his voice, “Go change. I’ll have Collin take you home. Your folks are waiting” Though reluctant, Patricia obediently nodded, “All right, I’ll head back first”
Theo gave a curt nod. When he looked up again, his brows furrowed
Ellinor, who was just standing there a moment 200, was gone.
While Theo and Patricia were talking, Ellinor slipped upstairs to her room. She felt really awkward just standing there.
As soon as Ellinor entered the room, she noticed that things had been moved around.
This was Theo’s bedroom. After joining the Blanchet family, she had been living here to play the role of Mrs. Blanchet better.
Theo seldom slept here when he came back. He would just bathe and sleep on the couch, barely touching anything in the room.
The servants cleaning the room didn’t dare to move anything either. But now, many things on the shelves and tables had been moved around.
Even the bedside lamp, which had been on the left bedside table, was now on the right.
Ellinor was used to sleeping on the left side of the bed The lamp was placed there for her convenience when she needed to get up in the night. Now that it was on the right, she noticed it immediately.
The bed sheet and pillows were elegant, without a single wrinkle. It was obvious that someone had tidied up this morning
Could it be that Theo and Patricia had slept here last night?
It made sense Theo brought his woman home. Why wouldn’t they sleep in his room?
Ellinor frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
It didn’t feel clean here. She decided to go to the guest room.
Just as she turned to open the door, Theo’s towering figure appeared, and his aura engulfed her.
Ellinor instinctively took a step back and looked up at him.
Up close, the signs of exhaustion on Theo’s face were even more apparent. The bloodshot eyes revealed his sleepless night.
Elinor wonder how much Theo loved Patricia for him to lose his composure like that.
Elinor’s eyes turned cold. “Theo, you look tired today. You can have a room. I’ll go to the guest room.”
With that, she tried to walk past him…
But Theo coolly moved a step, blocking her way, his voice demanding. “Where were you last night?”
His tone was low and calm, devoid of any wave of emotion, yet it exerted a strong sense of pressure.
“I was at a friend’s place,” she answered honestly
Theo frowned, his gaze harsh, You dare not come home now?”
Ellinor also frowned What was Then trying to say?
She was an adult, not a child. What’s the big deal about occasionally staying at a friend’s place?
Besides, why should she come back?
What if she saw or heard something she shouldn’t have? Wouldn’t that be awkward?
