Chapter 324
“Since I took the subway with you last time, I have a little understanding of the city’s subway line
planning.” Theo bent down to retrieve his subway card from the ticket gate, then took Ellinor’s hand,
turning her around to swipe his card and head towards the waiting area very naturally…
Ellinor, a little puzzled, even ignoring the fact that her hand was being held by a man, asked, “Why
would you need to know all this? With your status, you have a private car for transportation, it’s not
necessary, is it?”
“I remember a girl tell me last time she wanted me to kick my lavish lifestyle to the curb?”
Ellinor was speechless.
She recalled that she did say those words. It was during their last encounter at the horse field.
At that time, she was just trying to contradict Haillie, to make a point. She didn’t really want him to
change anything!
“I was just speaking off the cuff then, you seriously decided to experience regular folks‘ life because of

“Am I not a regular folk?”
“Of course not, you’re the greedy businessman type!”
“Did I exploit you?”
Theo chuckled at her words.
“Of course you did!” Ellinor declared confidently, “You exploited three precious months of my time and
got me tangled up in all sorts of trouble!”
Theo suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, “I’m sorry.”
His sudden serious apology made Ellinor feel a bit uncomfortable.
“Err… let’s forget it. I kissed you first, then you exploited me. We’re both to blame. As long as you stop
exploiting me once the three months are up, that’s all that matters!”
“No can do.”
*Didn’t we agree to end it once the three months are up? You’re not thinking of extending it, are you?”
“Are you that scared of an extension?”
“Of course! I can’t possibly be stuck with the Blanchet family forever, taking orders from you, right? I
expect you to keep your promise and give me back my freedom when the time comes!”
“Ellinor, I’m letting you go now and giving you your freedom.” Theo’s gaze darkened.
Ellinor’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
“Mm–hmm.”
“Thank you, then I’m leaving! We might never see each other again!”
She eagerly broke free from his grasp and turned around to make her escape….
But her wrist was firmly caught by him and she was pulled back!
He frowned at her, “Did I say you could leave?”
“Didn’t you say you were letting me go? You’ve already gone back on your word this fast?” Ellinor
looked puzzled.
“I’m letting you go, no fonger forcing you to play the role of Mrs. Blanchet. But, I hope you would

Ellinor stared at him in shock, questioning whether she heard wrong. Did he just ask her to become the
real Mrs. Blanchet?
If she’s not misunderstanding, is this gentleman indirectly proposing to her?
“Are you spacing out?” Theo rubbed her stunned face, hoping to get her attention back on him and stop
her daydreaming.
Ellinor snapped back to reality, but still seemed a bit dazed.
“Weren’t you just asking me why I wanted to learn how to take the subway?”
“I’ll tell you now. It’s because I’m worried that you might leave me one day, taking the subway alone.
What if I can’t catch up with you because I don’t know how to buy a ticket?”
As he spoke, Theo tightly held her hand, as if truly fearful that she might leave him at any moment…
Ellinor’s heart was instantly touched. Every word, every action of Theo’s left her confused, at a loss…
She even instinctively looked around, wondering if the elders of the Blanchet family were watching
them, which is why Theo was putting on this show with her…
Seeing Ellinor looking all around, Theo knew she must be imagining some irrelevant things again.
