Chapter 886
Ellinor snapped back to reality and looked at Theo, “Isn’t that the boy your sister has a crush on? I’m just helping them out here, didn’t you notice?”
Theo squinted, “Isn’t that just the type of guy you used to go for?”
Ellinor was puzzled, “My type? Theo, how do you know what kind of guy I used to like?”
Theo’s voice grew deep, “You’ve said it yourself before that you like obedient boys. Don’t you remember?”
Ellinor suddenly realized and nodded, “Oh, I didn’t forget, I still like that type
He thought she would explain it to him and say something smart to dispel the awkwardness, but she just admitted it straight up. Sometimes she was way too straightforward!
Theo’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightened, and he scoffed coldly, “No wonder I can’t win your favor.”
Ellinor fed Theo a piece of meat and said, “Theo, we all have our ideal types. At first, I was sure I wasn’t yours. As adults, we have to accept the gap between ideals and
reality”
The gap between ideals and reality? Theo scoffed coldly, so Ellinor had chosen him out of resignation.
Theo turned his face away in displeasure, refusing to eat the meat Ellinor handed him.
Ellinor didn’t push him, if he didn’t want to eat, she’d just eat it herself!
Theo stopped talking the usually mature and steady man actually started to give her the cold shoulder
Ellinor was helpless; knowing that he had taken time off work to pick her up, she tried to appease him, “Theo, although you’re not young anymore, you’re still handsome, and I really like you”
Theo glanced at her, “Just like?”
Ellinor frowned, “Isn’t like enough?”
Theo turned to her, pinching her chin up, “Why not love?”
His action was quite suggestive in public, drawing looks from those around them.
Ellinor knew Theo liked to kiss her, but she didn’t want everyone to see.
Ellinor moved Theo’s hand away and changed the subject, “Theo, you should eat quickly, I’ve already ordered for you!”
Theo didn’t push her.
About half an hour later, they left the restaurant. Ellinor touched her stomach, “I’m full! Theo, let’s not get in the car right away, let’s take a walk!
Theo would naturally accompany her. He took her hand and slowly walked out.
After exiting the shopping mall, Theo led her into a quiet street where there weren’t so many cars and exhaust fumes; it was perfect for a walk…
The two leisurely strolled, occasionally chatting, and they soon saw a primary school ahead during its dismissal time.
Veronica was with Moran at the school gate, distributing leaflets to the parents picking up their kids.
Veronica, a girl who had been pampered and lived a privileged life since childhood, had never experienced this kind of grassroots work.
When a parent impatiently refused the leaflets she handed out, she turned beet red with anger but had to hold back, looking utterly embarrassed.
