Chapter 272
The guy’s arm stretched over from the girl’s back, grabbing her waist tightly, pulling her into him, and their bodies pressed against each other
Their breaths intermingled and their lips were about to touch
This sudden closeness made Ellinor’s heart race and annoyed her a bit.
What on earth was this guy up to?
Patricia just left!
If she hadn’t seen Patricia in her pajamas here and known that this guy and Patricia had spent the night together, she might have mistaken him for being somewhat nice to her, maybe even having some feelings for her.
However, this guy had just spent the night with Patricia, how could he still have the energy to joke around with her like this?
Men are so hard to figure out!
Snapping back to reality. Ellinor dodged the guy’s impending kiss.
She pushed him away with her hands, maintaining some distance, and said, “I get your point, I’ll let you know wherever I go in the future; you don’t have to remind me in such a way”
Theo stood upright, his eyes narrowing as he heard Ellinor’s words, his mood cooling down.
He looked at Ellinor, a trace of helplessness in his eyes, “You understand? What exactly do you understand?”
Ellinor glanced at him, “I get everything! She didn’t want to be too blunt.
He once said that besides love, he could give her everything
So she wouldn’t mistake him for having feelings for her.
Thinking over his concern for her safety was basically because he cared about his future with Patricia.
If she could make it safely until their divorce, he would just be a regular divorcee, remarrying wouldn’t be a big deal.
But if anything happened to her, he would become a widower, and Patricia would become his second wife.
Many families, let alone well–to–do families like the Howards, are superstitious about this.
Patricia is the darling of the Howard family, how could they agree to let her be someone else’s second wife?
They couldn’t be together in the first place because of family conflicts; isn’t this adding another hurdle?
He must be trying to avoid this situation as much as possible
But there’s no need to spell it all out as long as you get it in your heart. Speaking too straightforwardly would just make everyone feel awkward.
After thinking it over, Ellinor seriously told Theo, “I hope you won’t bring Ms. Howard home for the night again”
Theo hesitated initially, then his eyebrows raised slightly, peering at her with a probing look, “Why?”
Are you jealous?
Ellinor just shrugged nonchalantly. “You must have other houses outside, right? Even if there are no houses nearby, there would be many hotels for you to choose from. You can take Ms. Howard on a date anywhere outside, and I won’t mind. But if you keep bringing people home for the night, it would be hard for me to keep playing this Mrs Blanchet role. There are so many people at home, should I manage you, or not? I have no right to manage you. But if I don’t, and this gets to your family elders, and they find out that our marriage is fake, then the one in trouble would be you!”
