Chapter 409

Theo snapped back to reality and dusted off the ash, “The clothes belong to Bartlett’s female secretary”

“And why would you bring it in?”

“I bumped into her at the door, and she asked me to bring it in for you.” Theo conveniently left out the

events that had just transpired outside the guest

room.

“Oh, I see.”

Ellinor vigorously rubbed her damp hair and walked over to the other side of the bed to check her

phone for any unread messages.

“Come here!*

Theo snuffed out the half–smoked cigarette in his hand and beckoned her over.

Ellinor’s face showed reluctance, she was irritated and didn’t want to get close to Theo.

But she wasn’t a fan of the silent treatment. After weighing her options, she put down her phone and

walked over to him, “You called me over for something?”

Theo patted his thigh, “Come here!”

Ellinor was speechless.

Was Theo asking her to sit on his lap?

No, that was so awkward!

She did walk over, but she didn’t plan to sit on his lap. She intended to walk past him and sit on the

other side of the couch.

But Theo, as if he had anticipated her thoughts, easily scooped Ellinor into his arms and placed her on

his lap.

Ellinor scrunched her brows in disgust, pushing him away and trying to break free.

Theo held her slim waist tightly, offering her no chance of escape, “Why are you avoiding me? I’m not

gonna eat you.”

“Who knows?!” Ellinor glared at him.

Theo found her feisty demeanor very cute; his grip softened unconsciously as he lightly hugged her

and ran his fingers through her still damp hair, “Alright, let’s stop messing around. Tell me why you

didn’t wait for me and went in alone?”

Ellinor replied irritably. “Because I was cold, so I went in first! If I had to wait for you, I would have

caught a cold!”

Theo looked at her with concern, pulling her closer into his arms, “I’m sorry, are you mad at me?”

Ellinor pouted, not avoiding his gaze, “Yes, that’s right! I’m mad!”

Theo liked this about her, she didn’t bottle up her emotions. Otherwise, he would have to guess her

feelings and probably misunderstand her.

“Is it because I didn’t come in with you earlier?”

“No.”

“Then tell me, where did I go wrong that made you angry?”

Ellinor didn’t beat around the bush and glared at him unhappily, “I’m mad because of your question

“What happened? Theo, were you doubting that I would hurt and bully your savior? Do you think my

character is that bad?”

Theo helplessly pinched her face. “Nonsense! You are my wife, how could I doubt your character? At

that time, someone was accusing you, and I wasn’t there; I didn’t know what happened, so I wanted to

ask you the truth so I could deal with the accuser.”

Ellinor seemed convinced by his explanation, but she still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Theo cooed softly again, “At a time like that, who else should I ask if not you? Should I believe what

others say and not listen to you?”

Ellinor pouted and her tone softened a bit, “You just know how to talk your way out of everything!”
