Chapter 433
Before this, she had never directly answered whether she missed him or not, nor had she ever initiated a call to him.
Theo couldn’t help but chuckle, “I will be back in a few days, I’m not done here, you just wait for me.”

Ellinor’s voice had lost its warmth, Oh”
Theo didn’t say anything else. hung up the phone, and busied himself with soothing the little tyke in his arms who wanted his mommy
Listening to the short, busy tone from the other end of the line, Ellinor’s eyes completely cooled, her lips curling in self–mockery
What a joke! She always thought she was rational, clear–headed, not a hopeless romantic, and certainly wouldn’t blindly trust in love and a man
But the truth showed that she was no different from any ordinary person!
When Patricia showed her the scar on her abdomen that day, saying she and Theo once had a child, she didn’t take it to heart and didn’t doubt Theo’s character for a second. She took it as a cheap lie Patricia made up to sow discord between her and Theo.
She was so certain that Theo wasn’t the type of guy to mess around or shirk responsibility
But just now. Theo lied to her. He was clearly in the country but lied about not being back yet.
So, could she conclude from this that Theo might have never left the country in the past half month and was always with Patricia and their child?
Ha! Was this necessary? If he wanted to be with Patricia, he didn’t need to deceive her and act behind her back! He could’ve just told her, she would never interfere
Her relationship with Theo started as a simple business partnership, and she had no right to interfere. If it weren’t for Theo suddenly changing his tune and saying he wanted to start fresh with her and take their relationship seriously, she would’ve never had any illusions about him.
She knew that because of the unknown grudge between the Blanchet and Howard families, the Blanchet elders were worried that Theo and Patricia’s entanglement would deepen, so Mr. Blanchet was pressuring Theo to marry another woman as soon as possible.
It was only when she saw their child today that Ellinor finally realized that Theo had never let go of Patricia. His cold, indifferent act towards her was probably just a ruse to deceive the Blanchet family elders, and she was the fool who fell for it.
From stan to finish, she was a pawn Theo used to deal with the Blanchet family elders. To make her play the role of Mrs. Blanchet convincingly, Theo even lied about his feelings
Was he really that despicable?
Some passersby began whispering.
“That man holding a child over there is so handsome!
“He really is! I saw his wife just now, she’s also very pretty, she must be getting medicine for the child now!”
“Their kid is so cute and adorable! The whole family is so pleasing to the eye!”
*With parents that good–looking, how could the child not inherit their good looks?”
Listening to the murmuring around her, Ellinor lowered her eyes and took a deep breath
Chase gritted his teeth, unable to hold back, “Ellinor, don’t be sad, I’ll go beat that jerk Theo for you right now!”
Ellinor waved him off, speaking softly. “There’s no need, let’s go.”
“But that scumbag, he Chase’s fist clenched with a crunch and he was clearly frustrated!
Ida pulled him back, “Calm down, don’t cause trouble for Ellinor!”
At this moment, Theo seemed to sense something and turned around with the child in his arms.
