Chapter 535
Anyway, since she got the ointment now, there was no reason not to use it.
Thank you”
She expressed her thanks lightly, not probing into how he found out about her burn
Opening the ointment, she applied it to her aching palm while saying, “All in all, I didn’t hurt that kid it was the waiter’s mistake at the restaurant!”
At this moment, Theo’s deep eyes seemed to lose focus. Through the smoky haze, his expression was hard to make out as he looked at her, “Did I ask you that?”
Ellinor frowned, “So, you didn’t call me over just to give me some burn ointment, did you?”
Theo didn’t answer, squinting at her burned hand and the shiny diamond ring on her ring finger with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, “Ms. Mendoza, you’re remarried now and still wearing the wedding ring I gave you?”
Ellinor fell silent
“Remamed” was a misnomer. She had only collaborated with him before and it was not a real marriage.
Moreover, she didn’t even like the diamond ring on her ring finger.
“I wish I could take it off, but I can’t remove this custom ring! If you’d like, Mr. Blanchet, you could give me some special solution to take it off right now and I would happily give it back to you. So you can give it to your future wife.”
Theo looked at her coldly and his eyes were dark as he said lightly. “No need. My future wife doesn’t need hand–me–downs”
Ellinor was startled, then frowned.
His future wife didn’t need hand–me–downs?
Did he mean he wouldn’t want a second hand woman for a wife?
Was he mocking her for being touched by him and then marrying someone else?
Thinking about this, Ellinor felt very uncomfortable and retorted sarcastically.
“What a pity, Mr. Blanchet. Even if your future wife doesn’t want second–hand goods, she has no choice. Because you yourself are a second–hand good, having been married before. We’re all the same!”
Theo was taken aback and his face was full of anger.
His words were only referring to the ring, not her.
She misunderstood him and didn’t lose out at all, she just snapped back.
Theo stared at her for a while, not bothering to argue with her. He said unhappily, “After you apply the ointment, leave this place and go where you belong!”
“Huh?” Ellinor was stunned again, looking surprised, doubting if she had heard wrong, “Mr. Blanchet, are you saying you want me to leave?”
Theo slowly exhaled smoke, “Exactly, I’ll handle things here. You don’t need to stick around!”
Having said that, Theo threw away and stomped out his cigarette. He turned, opened the door, and strode out.
Ellinor stood still in the stairwell, looking down at the small tube of burn ointment, recalling Theo’s words and his attitude.
She felt very complex.
Did Theo never suspect from the beginning that she had hurt his son?
Did he call her over just to give her an out and a chance to leave safely?
