Chapter 907
However, Theo was clueless about what was going on, but seeing as Ellinor called him in such a serious tone, he turned a bit stern, “What’s up?”
Ellinor stared at him, asking. “Are you hiding anything from me?”
Theo’s face stiffened, but he quickly bounced back. He cupped her face in his hands, “Why the sudden question?”
Ellinor didn’t avoid his touch, but her expression remained unchanged. She just stared at him, “I had a dream that you tricked me; it was pretty nasty. So I wanna know are you keeping something from me? Have you lied to me?”
Theo let out a sigh after remembering her frightened face from her nightmare last night, “Are you still hung up on that nightmare? It was just a dream; don’t overthink it?
Ellinor, with a poker face, said, “Theo, just answer me. Are you hiding anything from me? Or have you lied to me? If you admit it now, I promise I won’t get mad. But if you don’t spill it now and I find out later, we’re done!”
Theo was a bit baffled by her attitude. He squinted, thought hard, and said, “No.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
Theo was silent for two seconds before he nodded, “Yeah.”
Ellinor silently stared at him, not saying anything for a while.
Theo’s hand slid from her cheek to her chin, lightly pinching it, and he leaned in to kiss her.
Ellinor turned her face away, avoiding his advance, “Theo, your grandparents are back today; you better behave!”
Not getting what he wanted, Theo furrowed his brow. He leaned in again and pressed his forehead against hers, “Why won’t you let me kiss you? You went to see your brother today, why didn’t you come see me?”
Ellinor was taken aback. She was surprised he knew she went to the Howard Group today, but then again, nothing much could surprise her here.
In Greenhaven, no one could keep a secret from Theo.
Ellinor was in a bad mood. She didn’t ask how he knew; she let him press his forehead against hers, but she kept her eyes down, not looking at him, “I didn’t acknowledge Balfour as my brother; don’t make things up!”
Since she wasn’t looking at him, Theo seemed a bit unhappy. He pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, “You won’t acknowledge him as your brother, but you let him hold your hand?”
There was jealousy in his voice.
This time, Ellinor ignored his jealousy. She furrowed her brows, “He just grabbed my hand out of nowhere; how did you know?”
Theo answered honestly, “Patricia sent me a photo.”
Ellinor huffed lightly, “You already know she isn’t your savior, but you’re still in touch?”
Theo started to laugh after noticing that she seemed to be angry, “Are you getting jealous?”
Ellinor glared at him, “What’s there for me to be jealous about?”
“Of course, about me and Patricia!”
‘Ha–ha!”
“Tell me, why did you go find Balfour but didn’t come find me?”
“I just didn’t want to bother you.”
Theo replied, “I don’t mind being bothered.”
