Chapter 943
Ellinor blushed at the mention of her being called ‘wife‘ She immediately sat up and said, “I didn’t take a bath last night, so I have to hit the shower
now!”
Watching Ellinor rush into the bathroom and lock the door, he chuckled. Then got up and changed.
After Ellinor showered, he went to freshen up. Then they both left the bedroom to grab some breakfast.
However, the presence of an extra person in the dining room made Theo’s face turn serious.
Seeing them come down, Marissa said with a smile, “Theo, Ellinor, come, join us for breakfast. I made seafood soup! Ellinor, give it a try and tell me if it’s any good”
Ellinor replied with a smile, “Thanks.”
Then she politely turned to Putnam, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, “Good morning, Putnamn.”
Putnam, still brooding over yesterday’s events, just grunted in response.
Ellinor didn’t mind. She was about to sit down when she noticed Theo hadn’t followed her.
She turned to look at Theo and saw that his gaze was fixed on Moran, who was sitting next to Veronica.
Marissa also noticed his odd behavior. She glanced at Moran and said, “This is Veronica’s tutor. He arrived early today, so I invited him to join us for breakfast.”
Moran stood up courteously and smiled at Ellinor, “Good morning, Ellinor!”
Ellinor returned the smile and said, “Morning.”
Then, Moran’s gaze turned to Theo. The atmosphere between the two was a little strange.
After a moment of silence, Moran said, “Good morning, Mr. Blanchet!”
This remark made Theo’s face even more grim.
Marissa, completely unaware of the backstory, felt that Theo’s attitude towards the tutor was somewhat rude.
Hearing Moran say Ellinor’s name, Marissa suddenly realized, “Ellinor, do you know him?”
Ellinor nodded, “He is an esteemed alumnus from my university.”
Then, Putnam snorted, “University, huh! Who knows if the degree you got is even yours!”
Marissa glared at him disapprovingly and whispered, “Can’t you keep it down during a meal?”
Even though Moran was an outsider, he understood the innuendo in Putnam’s words.
He had seen last night’s online public opinion.
He sent Ellinor many messages asking about the situation, but she didn’t reply.
He was worried, so he came early today to check on her
Seeing Ellinor and Theo together, he thought she was unaffected, which gave him some relief.
But after hearing Putnam’s ambiguous words, coupled with the significant drop in the Blanchet Corporation’s stock, he was worried again.
Despite the online doubts about her academic qualifications and performance, he knew Ellinor’s talent was no fraud. He had a crush on her back. then, so he paid close attention to everything about her.
Therefore, he couldn’t help but defend his ‘goddess‘. He said, “The rumors on the internet are false. Ellinor got into Creston University on her own merit. I can vouch for that!”
