Chapter 871
Ellinor cocked an eyebrow, “Theo, Rome wasn’t built in a day, ya know Your sister turned out this way because you and your folks spoiled her silly when she was a kid. You can’t just kick her to the curb. Maybe you should have some patience, go a few rounds with her, and let her figure things out so she can change on her own”
Theo froze a bit. Ellinor always knew how to look out for him
He was tough on Veronica, but deep down, he couldn’t bear to really kick her out
Where would she go? Back to her flirtatious mom? She’d just get worse!
Veronica might be his half–sister, but she was his only sister, and she meant something to him.
Back when he was swamped with work, he didn’t have time to discipline her. Since she was feeling lonely at home, he’d try to fulfill all her whims.
As she grew older. Veronica’s flaws started to show. She was lazy and arrogant, no one at school wanted to be friends with her.
She had been a real pain in the neck for him all these years.
Theo gently pinched Ellinor’s cheek, “You act like a little devil, but you’re always so sensible that it’s heartbreaking”
Ellinor rolled her eyes. “Shoo, shoo! I’m making noodles, don’t bug mel
With that, she wriggled out of his grip, turned around, and started to cook
Theo, however, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. “What noodles?”
Ellinor frowned, “Obviously, the noodles you’re gonna eat! Theo, did you forget you haven’t eaten yet?”
“I’m not hungry. I’ll eat later, let me have a taste of you first.”
As he spoke, he took the bowl of egg mixture from her and placed it to the side. He twisted her around, held her close, and kissed her gently
“Theo… stop…”
Sometimes Ellinor really couldn’t handle this man’s kissing obsession. She had to question it.
She just wanted to make him some noodles; why was it so hard?
Only after a long while did Theo let her go, but her legs were already weak.
To prevent him from making any more moves, Ellinor shooed him away.
“Theo, go wait outside! Don’t bother me here! I can’t work with you around!”
He smiled, “Why can’t you work? Is it because you’re too nervous with me here?”
Ellinor rolled her eyes, “Isn’t it because you can’t keep your hands to yourself? Go, go, go! Get out! Or I won’t let you eat when I’m done cooking!”
Theo stopped teasing her, “Alright, alright, I’m going. Be careful, don’t burn yourself.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
With that, The left
Finally, Ellinor could breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on making noodles for him.
Just as the noodles were almost done, her phone rang. It was a call from Chase.
Ellinor answered, “Chase, what’s up?”
Chase’s voice was serious, “Ellinor, I just received some news. Someone’s been digging around in the village where you grew up”
Ellinor’s brows furrowed, “Digging into my past? Who?”
Chase replied, “Our sources confirm that it’s someone sent by the Howard family
Ellinor squinted thoughtfully, “How far have they gotten?”
