Chapter 396
Ellinor was downstairs waiting for Theo to get changed and killing time by playing some mobile games.
“Alright, we’re good to go”
Theo’s voice echoed through the air.
Ellinor looked up and was somewhat surprised.
Theo had changed into a decidedly different casual outfit compared to his usual attire. His hair, post–shower, wasn’t combed into the usual rigid style. The short strands hung naturally, softening the hardness of his face.
“Are you done checking me out?” He walked up to her and flicked her forehead lightly.
Snapping back from her daze, Ellinor massaged her slightly pained forehead, stashed her phone into her pocket, and glared at him. “Can’t I even have a look?”
“You enjoy looking at me this much and still make me sleep in the study every night? How about I sleep in my own room tonight and give you a proper eyeful? How does that sound?”
7 just thought you looked younger now; don’t get any ideas!”
“So I usually look old?”
Without hesitation, Ellinor nodded, “Absolutely.”
“Well, now that you think I’m not old, shouldn’t you call me something else?”
Ellinor thought for a moment, “Not–so–old guy, I’m hungry. Let’s go.”
Theo was at a loss for words.
With no choice, Theo followed behind the already departing Ellinor.
Instead of calling a driver, Theo drove a sports car himself, taking Ellinor to a villa in the suburbs.
As Ellinor got out of the car, she found the house quite nice, as well as the surroundings. The smell of BBQ wafting from inside made her stomach grumble even more.
Before she could ask whose house it was, Theo, who had already parked the car, took her hand and led her into the villa.
The garden of the villa was meticulously maintained, clearly indicating a tasteful owner.
As they entered the garden, they saw Jonah Wyton basting chicken wings by the grill. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and smiled, “Theo brought Ellinor
over!”
Ellinor glanced at Jonah Wyton and then towards the floor–to–ceiling windows of the villa’s living room. It was filled with people and quite lively.
“Is there a special occasion today?”
Today’s my 30th birthday. I invited you guys over for a get–together.” Jonah couldn’t keep the smile off his face.
“Happy birthday!”
“Thanks!” Jonah smiled, then cheekily extended a hand towards her. “Don’t just wish me; where’s the gift?*
Ellinor was speechless
How was she supposed to know there was a birthday party here?
