Chapter 518
The bedroom door creaked open and out sauntered a plump cat.
The chubby furball must’ve thought its master was home, so it came out, only to find a strange man standing in the living room. Its fur bristled instantly, and it lunged at the stranger like a ferocious little tiger.
Theo looked at the cat with icy indifference, utterly unfazed by its threat.
Ellinor came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, finding her cat’s intimidation of Theo somewhat amusing, but she didn’t laugh out loud.
“Come here, don’t attack the guest.”
“Meow.”
Hearing its master’s voice, the fat cat immediately became friendly and rubbed against her feet.
Ellinor casually stepped over the cat and placed the freshly poured water on the table, “Mr. Blanchet, have some water!”
With that, she turned around and stepped over the cat again.
She needed to change out of her dress first, moving around in a gown was just too inconvenient.
In no time, Ellinor reemerged in comfy loungewear.
By then, Theo was sitting on the living room couch, holding the glass of water, while the fat cat continued to hiss threats at him.
Theo sipped his water emotionlessly as he eyed the cat with a hint of annoyance.
Ellinor picked up her cat, “I’m sorry, Mr. Blanchet. My cat isn’t fond of strangers.”
With that, she sat down on a single sofa with the cat in her arms, grabbed the remote, and turned on the TV.
The noise from the TV eased the awkward silence as she wondered when he would finally finish his water and leave.
Taking a swig. Theo asked, “Where’s your husband?”
A flicker of discomfort crossed Ellinor’s face, “He might still be at work.”
Theo narrowed his eyes, “What does he do? How could he still not be home this late?”
Ellinor frowned and glanced at him, “Mr. Blanchet, don’t you think you’re being nosy?”
Theo smirked, “I’m just curious to see what kind of man would live in such a girly house.”
Ellinor felt a bit awkward and fell silent
Ida had designed the house using a main color scheme of pink and all. The style was very much in tune with a young girl’s taste.
Despite her mature appearance, Ida adored pink.
Ida bought the furniture, couch, decorations, and basically everything in the house, and it was all pink.
As for Chase, although he was the revered vice president of the Crescent Society in public.
In private, Chase didn’t have much say in front of her and Ida. For example, in home decoration, he only had authority over his own room’s style, and his opinion on other matters was usually not taken into account
