Chapter 391
Theo’s gaze remained fixed on Ellinor.
He took the suitcase from Ellinor’s hands and handed it to Devin standing by. “What are you up to
now?”
With that, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace as if afraid she would
really leave.
Ellinor felt it was inappropriate to be so intimate in front of others. She pushed against his chest in an
attempt to break free but to no avail. She had no choice but to explain to him helplessly.
“Mr. Blanchet, here’s the thing. When you went to the Mendoza family’s house, you were supposed to
enter through the front door and take Sheila, the bride! But you went through the back door and took
me instead! Now the cat’s out of the bag; they all know you took the wrong person that day Sheila

Sheila frowned, thinking that Ellinor was too blunt.
“Mr. Blanchet, it’s exactly as Ellinor said. The woman you were supposed to marry was me, and Ellinor
has always been a troublemaker since childhood. which led to this misunderstanding. I came to find her
today because I think she’s a country girl who doesn’t understand much. I’m afraid she’ll embarrass the
Blanchet family, so I think we should swap places and go back to where we belong.”
Theo understood the real purpose of Ellinor’s uninvited family. The courtesy in his eyes disappeared.
Ignoring Sheila, he looked down at Ellinor in his arms, displeased, “They make a fuss in our house, and
you join in them?”
“I didn’t make a fuss! Mr. Blanchet, you married the wrong person! You were supposed to marry her,
my sister was even in her wedding dress waiting for you at home that day!”
“Say that again?”
Even if he was really angry, his tone wasn’t harsh. It was like educating a child; he wanted her to
understand the seriousness of the situation without scaring her.
Ellinor frowned, looking somewhat displeased.
Theo didn’t want to delve into whether he had taken the wrong person or not, he softly asked Ellinor in
his arms, “What did you eat today?”
Uninvited guests had come to their house today, and he wasn’t sure if Ellinor had eaten properly.
“I had a bacon sandwich for breakfast, a bowl of noodles for lunch, and haven’t had dinner yet.” Ellinor
answered honestly.
After meeting the Mendoza family’s people in the morning, she had been staying upstairs. Both
breakfast and lunch were delivered by Devin, and she was quite full.
Theo’s expression relaxed slightly, “Hmm, what do you want for dinner?”
Sheila, on the other hand, watched as Theo showed affection towards Ellinor while being indifferent

by Ellinor.
She couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mr. Blanchet, I think we should let Ellinor leave while It’s still light. If she
leaves after dinner, it might be too late. She will be alone on the road with her luggage, which is very
unsafe.
Theo looked at Sheila, his gaze cold, “if she leaves, you won’t stay here either.”
Sheila was taken aback and looked hurt, “Why? Mr. Blanchet, you used to like me, right? You can’t be
fooled by Ellinor’s facade. She seems innocent on the surface, but she’s crafty and often plays the
victim.”
Tracy also seemed anxious. “Mr. Blanchet, listen to me; you misunderstood at that time; you were
supposed to marry Sheila, not Ellinor.”
Arnold, with all the authority of a father, pointed out, “Mr. Blanchet, that’s right! You were supposed to
marry Sheila, you mistakenly took Ellinor that day! It’s just a misunderstanding, we should swap them
back.”
