Chapter 739
At the Blanchet family’s villa.
After Balfour left, Ellinor took out her phone, which had been buzzing in her pocket.
It was a video call from Theo
Because she had been talking to Balfour, she hadn’t answered it.
Now that Balfour was gone, she could talk to Then.
After answering the phone, Theo’s handsome face appeared on the screen.
Theo’s normally cold and handsome features now looked annoyed. He had a chill on his face, “What were you doing just now? Why did you only answer now?”
Ellinor lazily sat on the sofa, “I was eating!”
Theo’s face darkened, “Eating? Whose cooking were you eating?”
Ellinor knew what was going on once he asked that question. Someone must have snitched!
She rolled her eyes, unhappily saying, “Why are you asking if you already know?”
Theo narrowed his eyes, not bothering to beat around the bush with this little miss, “What was Balfour doing at our house while I was gone? Why did he cook for you?”
Ellinor found his jealous antics cute, so she deliberately teased him, “Maybe he was just itching to show off his cooking skills in our house.”
The phrase ‘our house made Theo instantly pleased, but his tone was still somewhat unhappy, “Why are you eating food cooked by another man? Have you forgotten what I told you before? You’re not allowed to casually eat things given to you by other men!”
Ellinor pouted, “I didn’t eat it casually, I considered it carefully before eating it! Balfour isn’t that stupid, even if he wanted to harm me, he wouldn’t openly come to our house to poison me, right, Theo?”
The repeated use of our house‘ made it impossible for him to get angry with her. He sighed and asked, “What did he come to see you for?”
Ellinor said, “It’s a long story! You keep earning money, and I’ll tell you when you get home.”
Theo’s frown deepened; he was clearly dissatisfied with her answer.
Balfour wouldn’t step foot in the Blanchet family’s villa unless it was something big.
Today, he broke his rule for Ellinor, what he came for must have been very important, yet Ellinor wouldn’t tell him.
“Theo, look! What’s this?” Ellinor showed off her bounty of the day.
Theo looked at the notes Ellinor was waving in front of the phone. Theo, who wasn’t sensitive to money, just raised an eyebrow, “What’s up?”
“This is my pay from the few days I worked at the Howard Group that I demanded from Balfour today. Balfour has owed me for a long time Ellinor’s face was full
of excitement, like she had found a treasure. She excitedly told the serious man on the screen, “When you get off work, I’ll treat you to something delicious!”
Theo paused for a moment, looking at the lively young girl on the screen. His previously gathered displeasure instantly dissipated, “You’re so generous.”
“Of course!” Ellinor lifted her face proudly, “I normally wouldn’t invite people to eat with me. You’re really lucky!”
Theo’s lips slightly lifted, “Hmm? What delicious food are you planning to treat me to?”
