After pouring a glass of honey water for Theo, the maid handed it to him to drink.
After a couple of sips. Theo waved it off.
The maids didnât push it any further and backed off.
Marissa sat down next to him, looking at him with worry written all over her face. âGo take a bath upstairs to sober up; youâre all grown up, and you still get yourself wasted. Itâs just not on!â
Theo seemed to have a bit of a headache. He leaned his head against the back of the sofa and placed one hand on his forehead to shield his eyes, ignoring his grandmotherâs words.
Marissa noticed a twinkling light from his suit pocket, so she reached out and pulled out his phone.
An unfamiliar number was displayed on the phone. Marissa seemed to get an idea, and a light flickered in her eyes, so she answered the call for him.
âTheo, are you home yet?â
She heard Sophiaâs concerned voice.
Marissaâs expression changed slightly. âHeâs home, Sophia. Donât worry, get some rest.â
After hearing Marissaâs voice, Sophia sounded a bit surprised, then she sensibly said, âOkay, Grandma! You should also get some rest.â
After hanging up the phone, Marissa rubbed her forehead. âTheo, what on earth are you planning to do now? Are you planning to accept Sophia, or do you want Ellinor to come back?â
Theo spoke, his tone unreadable. âGrandma, did you think that call was from Ellinor?â
Marissa fell silent. She did think that way just now.
Theo chuckled coldly. âNow, even if I really died, she wouldnât come.â
Marissa frowned. âNo, Ellinor is not like that! Theo, I know you care about her; I think you should take the opportunity to talk to her; she must have misunderstood your relationship with Sophia.â
Misunderstood?
If it were a misunderstanding, wouldnât she come to him angrily and give him a chance to explain?
But she disappeared for half a year!
When they met again, she was even wearing a mask, afraid that he would recognize her and bother her.
Was he no longer important to her?
Theo chuckled coldly again, his face full of sarcasm and anger.
âIâm sorry to have worried you about my personal affairs, Grandma. Iâll handle this. You should rest early.â
With that, he got up, grabbed his phone, and stumbled upstairs.
Veronica came over. âGrandma, thereâs such a big misunderstanding between my brother and Ellinor!â
Marissa sighed. âHave you been in touch with Belinda? What did she say about Ellinor?â
âI asked, and Belinda said she would sleep over at Ellinorâs tonight. She said Ellinor is okay.
