Patricia first settled the kid into the baby seat, then warmly and considerately handed the menu to
Ellinor, “Ellinor, you order first, see what you fancy. Go ahead, choose anything you like!”
Ellinor shook her head, not taking the menu.
Bartlett, laughing, placed the menu between them. “No worries, we can just share one. What do you
feel like eating?”
Seeing this, Patricia chuckled and tested the waters, “Bartlett, you seem quite attentive towards
Ellinor!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBartlett laughed. “You caught on, huh!”
Ellinor gave a small smile. She initially thought Bartlett was keeping a bit of distance, but here he was
doing the same thing again.
While ordering. Ellinor felt a stern gaze from across the table glued to her, making her quite
uncomfortable.
The gaze was so chilly and cold that it made her scalp tingle.
“Theo, what would you like to eat?”
Patricia, holding the menu, turned to ask the man beside her, only to find Theo’s gaze firmly on Ellinor
across the table.
Her eyes dimmed for a moment, but very quickly, she started smiling again, asking once more, Theo?
What would you like to eat? I can order for you!

She quickly turned away, covering her mouth and coughing twice.
After patting her chest, she finally suppressed the nausea. When she turned back, she found all three
people at the table looking at her strangely.
Ellinor cleared her throat, took a tissue, and calmly wiped her mouth. “I’m sorry, I’ve had gastritis these
past few days and can’t handle greasy food.”
Theo squinted his eyes and took a sip of water.
His gaze was deep, as if he had began to suspect something. He was like a net that captured every
subtle expression on her face.
