Chapter 890
Theo chuckled. ‘Is that considered bullying?”
Ellinor frowned and said, “If you only think about yourself without considering others‘ feelings, that’s bullying!”
Seeing her distressed look, he gently caressed her forehead, whispering, “Alright, be it in dreams or reality, it was my fault. Babe, can you stop being mad?”
His deep, magnetic ‘babe‘ sent her heart racing
Looking into his eyes, he seemed sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy.
She wanted to ask him why he didn’t want to get a marriage certificate with her.
She thought about it and felt that asking him this in bed might not elicit his true thoughts..
If she asked, he might think she was too eager.
Or, he might say, if you want to get a marriage certificate, then let’s get it.
This way, it would seem like she was the one pushing him, and that didn’t sit well with her.
Besides, what she really wanted wasn’t just a marriage certificate.
Ellinor felt a bit down after considering all this “Theo, could you leave for a while?” She asked.
He raised an eyebrow, “Where do you want me to go at this hour?”
Ellinor listlessly pushed him, “You can sleep in the guest room or the study. I want to have a good night’s sleep alone tonight.”
Theo clearly wasn’t keen, and he gently stroked her cheek, “I promise I won’t disturb you. You can sleep well”
“I don’t believe you!” Ellinor raised her eyebrows, deliberately moving her knee to gently touch his sensitive area, indicating her distrust.
Theo frowned, even a light touch from her got him all flustered
In the end, he got up and left the bed, but he didn’t leave the room. Instead, he went to the bathroom.
After a while, he came out, freshly showered with damp hair.
Ellinor was already asleep, hugging the quilt and leaning against the head of the bed. However, her brows were still furrowed, as if she were having a bad dream.
He sat beside her, gently stroking her forehead, trying to soothe her
Then he checked the time and calculated the time difference.
He picked up the phone on the bedside table, walked to the balcony, and dialed an overseas number, “When are you coming back?”
A crisp and enchanting female voice came from the phone, “Why? Do you miss me?”
The next day.
When Ellinor woke up. Theo had already left for work.
She habitually reached for her phone to check unread messages. However, there were no messages from him today. He hadn’t reminded her to eat breakfast as he usually
did
Ellinor sat still for a moment, then got up and went to wash up.
As she was going downstairs for breakfast, she ran into an elated Veronica.
Veronica was humming a tune when she unusually greeted her, “Good morning. Ellinor!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow as they walked downstairs together, ‘You’re in a good mood today?”
Veronica couldn’t help but grin, “Not bad!”
Ellinor sat at the dining table and noticed that Veronica was still basking in her joy. She asked her, “Where’s the bag you bought yesterday?”
The joy on Veronica’s face vanished in an instant. She blurted out as if struck by lightning, “My bag! I left it at the restaurant yesterday. I forgot to take it back! What should I do now? Someone must have taken it! I really loved that bag!
