Chapter 748
Hearing Belinda’s sigh, Ellinor and Theo turned to look at her, both wearing a hint of worry on their brows
This love–crazy child would be better off keeping her love life on the low
Then, the waiter served up several dishes.
Ellinor loaded up Belinda’s bowl, who was spacing out, “What’s on your mind? Weren’t you hungry? Eat up!”
Belinda snapped out of her daydream and smiled, “Thanks, Ellinor”
Ellinor swiftly served her man next to her, saving this childish fella from feeling jealous of Belinda.
Belinda was quite the chatterbox, her mouth never stopped, even while eating, “So, Theo, have you and Ellinor tied the knot yet?”
The question made both Ellinor and Theo pause.
Tuming his head, Theo shot Ellinor a deep look, “Not yet.”
Belinda furrowed her brows seriously, “How come you guys haven’t married yet? Theo, aren’t you afraid that Ellinor might up and leave you one day? You should get a move on with the mamage! You need to keep a tight grip on the woman you won back!”
Theo was speechless.
Theo didn’t respond, his face was a mix of emotions. He grabbed the frosty glass of water next to him and took a silent sip.
Ellinor didn’t think much of Belinda’s words, but Theo’s silence caught her attention.
He didn’t seem to be planning to marry her?
Belinda assumed Theo was too shy to bring up marriage because he feared rejection.
So she stood in for Theo, throwing the suggestion at Ellinor.
“Ellinor, tie the knot with Theo tomorrow; the sooner the better! No need to drag things out.”
Ellinor glanced at the man next to her, who was still sipping water in silence. She pulled her gaze back, casually taking a bite of her food, “No rush.”
Belinda looked confused, “No rush? Why not? Haven’t you two had enough fun? Why aren’t you eager to get married? If I found someone I liked, I’d want to marry him right away!”
Ellinor nonchalantly lowered her eyes, “A marriage document is just a piece of paper. Its only purpose is to protect both parties‘ assets, making it easier to divide property if a divorce happens.
I don’t want his money, so what’s the point of us getting married? If we really want to split up, that piece of paper won’t stop us.
People who truly have faith in staying together for a lifetime don’t need that piece of paper.”
“Wow! That’s deep!” Belinda was struck dumb, then showed an admiring face, “Ellinor, you’re such a boss! I need to learn from you so I can have confidence in love and be able to let go as easily as I hold on.”
Ellinor gave a light smile, she didn’t say anything more and just carried on eating.
Theo was taken aback by Ellinor’s view of the marriage document, his face subtly changing.
He squinted his narrow eyes, deep in thought, then put down his glass of water, staying silent.
The atmosphere started to become a bit odd.
Although Belinda was a bit slow on the uptake, she could feel something was off.
She glanced at the silent Theo, then at Ellinor, who was just eating quietly. She felt baffled, what the heck was going on?
They were just fine a moment ago, why were they suddenly so silent?
Unable to bear the awkward silence, Belinda tried to change the topic, “Well, even if you don’t get a marriage document, you guys should definitely snap a set of wedding photos, so you can keep some precious memories.”
