Chapter 390
Arnold looked up at Theo, who towered over him. He followed his friendly guide upwards with an elder’s air of superiority and nodded in satisfaction, “You’re pretty good; we can help each other out in the future!”
Tracy also chimed in with a grin, “You must be tired from working all day, huh? I’ll whip up some of my best dishes for you later!”
The Mendoza family’s sense of propriety was really poor and they all seemed to lack manners.
Theo’s face was impassive, his emotions unreadable. He turned to Devin and instructed, “Take good care of our guests, I’m going upstairs to check on her”
Yes, Mr. Blanchet.”
“Mr. Blanchet, wait for me, I’ll go upstairs with you to find Ellinor!” Sheila followed in Theo’s footsteps, deliberately sticking close to his towering figure. She wanted to show Devin that, as long as Mr. Blanchet was back, she could go upstairs. Let’s see if he dared to stop her in the future.
Of course, this was also because she was worried that Ellinor would shamelessly flirt with Mr. Blanchet and take advantage of him out of her sight. Theo stopped in his tracks and shot Sheila a cold look, “That won’t be necessary. Wait in the living room; I’ll bring her down later.”
Sheila was stunned.
She had not expected to be rejected, especially since Mr. Blanchet had just welcomed her.
Devin, who was not far away, saw Sheila’s futile efforts and thought she kind of deserved it.
Where did Sheila get the wrong idea that she held a place in Mr. Blanchet’s heart?
If it weren’t for Ellinor’s sake, Mr. Blanchet wouldn’t even bother talking to Sheila. Delusional was the perfect word to describe her.
Despite that, Sheila was oblivious to her own shortcomings and flirtatiously moved closer to Theo, “What’s the problem? Mr. Blanchet, I just want to go upstairs with you to find Ellinor, what’s the big deal?”
She was about to latch onto Theo’s arm.
Theo’s eyes turned icy; he sidestepped her, not allowing her hand to touch him, “What are you trying to do?”
Sheila’s enthusiasm was met with a cold reception. She was at a loss for words and startled by Theo’s sudden indifference.
“Uh…Mr. Blanchet…”
What was going on? Other men always happily accepted her advances; why was Mr. Blanchet so repulsed?
“Theo, you’re back just in time!”
Ellinor’s voice came from upstairs at this moment.
A hint of softness appeared in Theo’s previously stern eyes.
But when he saw Ellinor dressed neatly and dragging a suitcase, his brow furrowed once again.
Ellinor dragged her suitcase down from upstairs, stopped in front of Theo and said seriously, “Mr. Blanchet, I want to tell you that I am moving out. From now on, the position of Mrs. Blanchet will be taken over by Sheila!”
Sheila blushed and nodded, “Yes, Mr. Blanchet, that’s the situation. I wanted to go upstairs with you just now, so Ellinor could explain everything to you.”
“Aren’t you gonna explain this to me?”
