Sure enough, he saw it.

Before Ellinor Mendoza could explain, the man approached her and said sternly, “Didn’t I tell you not to

drink anything strangers give you when you’re out? Are you just ignoring what I say?”

Since he was much taller than her, Ellinor had to tilt her head back to look at him, which was

uncomfortable. “No, I remember what you said

The man held her face in his hand, forcing her to look at him. “So you’re deliberately going against my

words, is that it?”

Ellinor explained uncomfortably. “It’s not what you think.”

The man’s face remained calm, but there was some displeasure in his eyes. “As my wife, you’re

drinking toasts with another man. What should I think?”

Ellinor knew she was wrong, but she was helpless. So she explained, “Because he has something I

want.”

The man’s grip loosened a bit, “What’s that?”

Although she didn’t want to tell him too much, she had no choice but to explain now. Ellinor had to tell

the truth: “Mr. Rex has three paintings in his gallery that I want, but he won’t sell them to me. He said if

I drink a toast with him, he would give me the paintings.”

Theo thought for a moment and let go of her, “You can just tell me you want something You don’t have

to drink under someone else’s threat.”

Ellinor lowered her head and said, “We’re not really married. I didn’t want to bother you or owe you

anything”

Theo looked at her coldly. “This doesn’t count as owing. I’ve said that I can give you anything but love,

as long as you play the part of my wife for these three months”

Ellinor looked at him and said frankly, “The fundamental nature of relationships between people is

rooted in mutual indebtedness. Whether it’s emotional or financial, owing and repaying create a

complex dynamic. If I owe someone or they owe me, it becomes challenging to part ways easily.

Therefore, I try my best to avoid such situations.*

Theo frowned, “You seem to be constantly waiting for the day to leave?”

Other women wished for a deeper relationship with him. Ellinor was afraid of having one.

Ellinor smirked. She was still upset about her chin being pinched by him. To get back at him, she

tiptoed and provocatively hooked her arm around his neck, “Well? Do you want me to cling to you?

You’d probably be more afraid of me clinging to you, wouldn’t you?”

Theo didn’t dodge, just looked down at her pretending to be innocent.

This little girl didn’t look good today. She was dressed in a ridiculous outfit, her face painted yellow and

her hair in two small braids.

However, her eyes were still clear and bright on her yellow face, like the moon in the sky.

She said things that were annoying, but she looked… attractive.

The man’s eyes darkened, and a lump formed in his throat.

Ellinor realized that her annoying action didn’t seem to annoy Theo. She felt something was off. She

frowned and asked, “….Theo?”

Their eyes met, and she saw the desire hidden in his eyes.

Ellinor was stunned, feeling an inexplicable discomfort, instinctively wanting to pull back her hand, but

was held by the man. She almost bumped into his chest, closer than before…

The man stared at her surprised and shy expression, his eyes growing deeper.

They were too close. They were like magnets, slowly approaching, face to face…..
