Chapter 889
Ellinor didn’t think she was anything special or particularly lucky to have a man who was so devoted to her
She just thought Theo was different from other guys. He made her feel secure, maybe he was a bit more loyal, and the rest was up to fate, so she just let things be.
But he really was different.
He got bored easily and he was pretty cunning too. He was always prepared, making it impossible for her to outsmart him.
That night, Ellinor pretended to sleep with her back to Theo. No matter how much he tried to spoon with her, she never turned around to face him.
She was pretending to sleep and ended up actually falling asleep.
She had a terrifying dream.
She dreamt of the time she was pushed into a dry well as a child. She was small and weak then, so she couldn’t climb out. She cried for help, but no one responded, and she was absolutely panicked.
She desperately stared at the mouth of the well, hoping someone would find her and pull her out.
Then someone did show up. It was Theo!
Theo’s face appeared at the mouth of the well. He was just standing there, looking down at her.
She was elated, thinking she was finally saved. She reached out, hoping Theo would pull her up, but he just coldly stared at her, not moving an inch.
She was confused and shouted out to him, but Theo just turned around emotionlessly and left. Then, someone put a large stone over the well, sealing it shut.
Everything was pitch black. No matter how much she screamed or pleaded, no one came. The air was getting thinner and thinner, and she felt like she couldn’t breathe.
Suddenly, she woke up!
She opened her eyes wide and found that her body was drenched in cold sweat.
And then she realized the reason she couldn’t breathe in her dream was because Theo was kissing her while she was asleep.
Because of the nightmare, Ellinor was not in a good mood. She couldn’t push him away, so she punched him hard
She wasn’t joking around and hit him with all her strength.
Theo was really hurt. He grunted and let her go, then, with a satisfied smile, he breathed heavily and whispered, “Why are you hitting so hard? Are you trying to kill your husband?”
When she heard the word ‘husband, Ellinor felt the situation was even more ironic. Whose husband was he? They didn’t have a marriage certificate, and he dared to call himself a husband? Pfft!
Ellinor said weakly. “I told you I didn’t want to do it today. How could you take advantage of me while I was sleeping?”
Under the moonlight filtering in through the window, Theo’s eyes were still a bit dazed. Obviously, he was feeling a strong desire.
Ellinor thought that if she hadn’t woken up from the nightmare, this guy would have definitely taken advantage of her.
Theo’s voice was slightly husky and sexy. “You were calling me in your sleep. How could I not think you were inviting me?”
Ellinor sat up and turned on the bedside lamp so she could catch her breath.
Under the dim light, Theo noticed she was sweating profusely. He immediately became serious and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Ellinor replied monotonously.
Theo came over and held her in his arms, gently rubbing her back. “It’s okay. It’s just a dream. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
But Ellinor was not comforted. She looked at him coldly and said casually, “I dreamt of you just now.”
Theo paused for a moment, “I appeared in your nightmare?”
She didn’t push him away, nor did she rely on him as before. She frowned and nodded, “Yeah.”
Theo finally understood why she had been calling him. He sighed helplessly, “What dream did you have? What did I do to you in the dream?”
Ellinor seemed a bit irritated, “Not just in the dream. When I woke up. I found you were really bullying me!”
