Chapter 722
Veronica watched as Ellinor lazily sat up in bed, yawning. She found it hard to apologize to this country bumpkin she genuinely looked down upon. Theo,…”
In the video, Theo’s face was stem “If you don’t apologize, pack up your stuff immediately!”
Although Veronica was reluctant to apologize, she was still afraid of Theo. She quickly apologized and bowed her head to Ellinor, who was still in bed
“Ellinor, I’m sorry… What I said was wrong. I won’t talk to you like that again… Please forgive me; don’t let my brother kick me out.”
Ellinor didn’t give a clear response. Instead, she lazily stretched out her hand. “Give me my phone back. You can go now”
You can go now?!
Who was Ellinor talking to? What did she take her for?
Veronica almost blew up with rage at Ellinor’s dismissive attitude, but she had no choice but to calm herself. Theo was still watching her through the video call.
She didn’t dare argue with Ellinor anymore. She obediently returned the phone to Ellinor and then helplessly turned around and left.
Ellinor took the phone, and only after Veronica left did she look at the perfect face of the man on the screen and lazily said, “Theo, your sister Veronica is nothing like you
The coldness on his face immediately disappeared. “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll teach her a lesson when I get back”
“I’m not angry, just a bit annoyed!” Ellinor yawned, then casually asked, “Theo, when are you coming back?”
After saying this, she immediately realized that it was inappropriate She blinked awkwardly. “Um…”
Theo also paused for a moment, then smiled, “When do you want me to come back? I can come back right now”
Ellinor cleared her throat in embarrassment, “No need, I was just asking! Go to work, I’m going back to sleep!”
After that, she quickly hung up the video call and threw the phone away.
Ellinor covered her face with her hands and rolled on the bed. “Ah! So awkward!”
Why did she ask when Theo was coming back?
Theo had just left not long ago, so asking that made it seem like she missed him.
Ellinor, where was your dignity?
It had only been ten minutes since he left, and she sort of missed him. Now what?
Ellinor hugged the quilt they both used last night, buried her face in it, and took a deep breath, trying to catch his fresh scent.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep.
Veronica came out of the room with an embarrassed face, just in time to meet Devin, who was about to open the door with the keys.
Once Veronica came out, Devin sighed in relief, “Ms. Blanchet, you finally came out! Ellinor isn’t mad, is she?”
