Chapter 410
“This is me telling it like it is! Because it’s Patricia we’re talking about here, she saved my life once and I owe her a solid If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother. I wanted to come in with you just now, but then Ms Howard suddenly got sick and was puking. She kept calling me, I couldn’t just….
Ellinor rolled her eyes and cut him off. “Theo, quit yapping, I got it!”
“Huh? You got what? Theo raised an eyebrow
Ellinor kept her cool. She sat up straight in his arms and said, “I get your dilemma Ms. Howard saved your life and lost something irreplaceable in the process. You’ve always felt indebted to her and can’t just abandon her when she’s in trouble, right?”
Theo didn’t deny it, I’m sorry, just give me some time to repay her kindness. I won’t let you down like this again”
Once everything was out in the open, Ellinor felt relieved, “It’s okay, as long as you trust me, I won’t be mad. Of course, repaying a favor is the right thing to do I can understand and trust you!”
Theo didn’t look happy. “I wouldn’t be mad if you were mad at me now.”
“I’m not mad, I’m not that petty!”
“But what if I’m petly?”
“Theo, you are petty about what? I didn’t do anything!” Ellinor was confused.
“Weren’t you in this room with Bartlett just now?” He asked with a stern face
Ellinor nodded frankly, “He’s your friend, so I asked him to lend me some clothes, then he brought me in here to rest a bit, got me a towel, and left!”
“You don’t need to explain, I know there’s nothing going on between you two, but I still mind you having too much contact with other men, and I can’t help but get mad. You,
on the other hand, don’t seem to mind me being around other women. Ellinor, sometimes I really wonder if I’m just optional to you
“Theo… are you feeling insecure and worried?”
Theo glared at her, ‘Yes! I am insecure and I am worried. I’m afraid that you might run off with someone else one day!”
As he said this. Theo held her waist tighter, giving her a little squeeze.
Ellinor’s body tensed up. “Theo, I haven’t agreed to be with you yet! Watch your hands!”
Theo didn’t seem to take her seriously and he tickled her waist, “You’re my wife, touching you is a crime?”
Enduring the ticklish sensation on her waist, Ellinor corrected him, “Not yet! We’re just in a sham marriage; we haven’t actually registered“”
If she hadn’t mentioned it, Theo would have forgotten about it.
“So, we register tomorrow?”
Ellinor blushed. “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t say I wanted to register marriage with you!”
Theo moved closer, he pressed his forehead against hers and whispered. “But I want to, will you? It’s on me!”
She could feel his warm breath on her face; it made her heart skip a beat, “Theo, stop joking; registering a marriage is not something to be taken lightly!”
“Then let’s take it seriously!”
Ellinor gave him a proud look, “Im not going tomorrow! We’ll talk about it later, which was depending on your performance. I need to think it over!”
Theo knew it wouldn’t be easy to win Ellinor over and he smiled helplessly, “Alright, take your time, it’s just a matter of time.”
Ellinor felt like a prey being hunted as she looked into Theo’s confident eyes.
She didn’t realize that her strap had slipped down to her elbow.
