She said bluntly. “I don’t want to get tangled up in your messy love life with Ms Howard, nor do I want to
be blamed for busting up your relationship
Theo got her point, but it only pissed him off mote. “Ellinor, did you even ask me? Just assuming things
are how you think they are?”
Ellinor kept her calm “I don’t want to ask, and you don’t need to rush to explain to me it might give
people the wrong idea that you have feelings for me.
Theo narrowed his eyes, suddenly reaching out to twist her face towards his “Who’s around to get the
wrong idea?”
Ellinor stayed silent
Theo grabbed a napkin, gently wiping some food grease from her mouth. “Who’s getting the wrong
idea, huh?”
Ellinor frowned, pushing his hand away “Exactly I’m the one getting the wrong idea! If you keep acting
all flirty, anyone would overthink i
Theo grabbed her chin again, twisting her face towards him and leaning in closer. “What if there’s no
misunderstanding, and I’m acting this way because I like you?”
Ellinor was taken aback. “Don’t joke like that, it’s not funny!”

Just yesterday. Theo confessed his feelings for Patricia so openly, and now he’s saying he likes her
Does he think she’s some kind of fool?
Theo gazed at her eyes, filled with a hint of resentment, “You’re right, I’m not acting like myself
anymore. I never thought I’d be so affected by a girl”
Who? Who affected him? Ellinor felt innocent and wanted to argue, “You’re the one…
He touched her lips coldly. “Don’t talk, just listen.”
She stayed silent, quietly watching him.
He looked at her senously and sincerely, “I once said that I could give you anything but love Because in
my past life plan, there was no room for a woman. It was your appearance that changed my life plan.
I’ve only ever been with you That night, it wasn’t just the toxin, it was also. I already had feelings for
you.”
Ellinor’s heart fluttered, and she looked at him doubtfully are you messing with me?”
She still didn’t believe it, even after all he’d said.
Theo laughed helplessly “Stop making me angry Let me get a good night’s sleep!”
He let go of her and leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes and looking utterly drained.
Seeing him so worn out, Ellinor felt a pang of sympathy
She knew this man had great power and influence. He could have anything he wanted. He didn’t need
her to take care of him.
But she still got up and took a blanket from the hospital bed, covering him with it.
Ellinor looked at his face as she was tucking him in taking a good long look. She thought to herself:
he’s really handsome!
She was so close to him that when Theo suddenly opened his eyes, she jumped back. “Theo, you’re
not asleep?”
“Are you trying to steal a kiss?” He teased.
Ellinor laughed. “In your dreams!”
Theo’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he gently touched her face, ‘Ellinor, stop shutting me out.”
Ellinor was a bit confused, “Haven’t I already let you in?”
“I mean, into your heart.”
With that, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Ellinor sat there, stunned She blinked her mind a whirl.
The next morning
Ellinor woke up in Theo’s arms.
Her head rested on his arm, and it was only when she felt how hard it was that she woke up.

“Uh. Theo how did we end up.” Sleeping together?
Just as she felt uncomfortable, a knock on the door broke the awkward moment.
Theo got up and opened the door
Patricia greeted him with a smile, “Good morning, Theo!”
She held a metallic thermos in her hands, “Theo, my mom made soup. I couldn’t finish it by myself, so I
thought I’d share it with Ellinor”
Theo turned to Ellinor, ‘Do you want some?”
Ellinor shook her head
She didn’t trust Patricia, and her allergies hadn’t cleared up yet. It was best to avoid anything from
Patricia
Theo turned back to Patricia and explained, ‘She’s allergic, she can’t just eat anything”
Patricia smiled awkwardly, understanding, “Right, I should we thought of that?
At that moment, a doctor walked in with two police officers
“Ellinor, the police are looking for you”
Ellinor’s face changed, she frowned, “The police are looking for me?”
The policeman showed his badge, “Ellinor, come with us. You’re suspected of being involved in a
criminal case. We need your cooperation in the investigation”
