Chapter 780
Theo squatted down. He was just a bit lower than Ellinor, who was sitting on the bed. He looked up at her with a sincere and smitten gaze. “Absolutely
not.”
Ellinor then asked. “What if they threaten you to break up with me?”
Theo chuckled. “In this world, no one can threaten me except for you”
Ellinor rolled her eyes. What can I threaten you with? Men’s words are all lies!”
Theo replied seriously, “Ellinor, to be honest, if I knew you were a daughter of the Howard family from the beginning, I might not have approached you. But now, I’m not letting you go, not ever.”
Ellinor was taken aback. She saw stars in his eyes, and suddenly she wanted to kiss him.
But she knew that if she actually did, it wouldn’t stop at just a simple kiss tonight.
Ellinor kept her wits about her, “Uh, Mr. Blanchet, I’m going to take a bath now.”
Theo asked softly, “Aren’t you really tired today? Do you want me to help you?”
Ellinor frowned, looking at him warily, “No! Don’t even think about it!”
Theo watched as she walked to the bathroom, chuckling. Take it slow; be careful not to slip.”
“I know!” Ellinor went into the bathroom, quickly closing the door behind her to prevent any intrusions.
Theo looked out the window as Ellinor went to the bathroom, his gaze complex.
The next day.
Ellinor was woken up by a phone call. While feeling very groggily, she reached out from under the covers to answer, “Hello?”
“Is this Ellinor?”
An old man’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Ellinor asked somewhat puzzled, “Hello, who is this?”
The old man laughed, “Ellinor! It’s me, Grandpa Dean!”
Grandpa Dean?
Ellinor was startled for a moment before becoming fully alert, “You’re Mr. Howard’s grandfather?”
The old man was very friendly, “Yes, that’s me! Ellinor, just call me Grandpa, there’s no need to be so formal.”
Ellinor wasn’t really fond of the Howard family, but she politely asked out of courtesy, “Grandpa Dean, what can I do for you?”
Dean enthusiastically invited her over, “Ellinor, are you free to come over for dinner at our house today? We didn’t really get to chat when we met yesterday, and I didn’t have the chance to properly host you. If you’re free today, why don’t you come over for dinner? I’d like to thank you in person for your help”
Ellinor politely declined, “No need, Grandpa Dean. What I did before was just what I should have done; it’s not a big deal. You don’t have to go through the trouble; I won’t be coming.”
“Your help was a big deal to me! I have high blood pressure, and if it weren’t for your help that day, I might have gotten overly angry because of that internet celebrity Ellinor, if you don’t accept my thanks, I’ll feel bad. Come have a meal, good girl!”
“Grandpa Dean, you’re not planning to set me up on a blind date, are you? I’m sorry, but I already have a boyfriend, and I have no plans on switching boyfriends at the moment.”
