Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Belinda looked at Ellinor with admiration and awe, “Ellinor, you are amazing! My uncle only eats at upscale restaurants, and you’re the only one who can make him willing to stay in this crowded, noisy barbecue place!”

Ellinor pulled a half–hearted smile It was not that she had any unique ability, it was just that he needed Ellinor to play lovey dovey with him in front of Marissa, that was why he generously invited her to dinner Theo glanced at Belinda coldly.

“Didnt I tell you to reflect on your actions at home? Who allowed you to come out?”

Belinda pouted and stuck out her tongue, “I don’t want to reflect at home! I got dumped by my boyfriend, and I’m not even married, I’m already unlucky enough! Uncle, how can you bear to let me stay at home bored”

Theo ignored her, looking at the curly haired woman and the young man beside her.

Byran looked at Theo, his eyes full of admiration, and greeted. “Hello, Theo.”

Theo nodded slightly in response, “Why are you three together? Where have you been?”

The curly–haired woman flashed a charming smile, adjusting her hair as she stepped forward, “Theo, Byran, and I were shopping and just bumped into Belinda at a nearby mall *

Theo responded indifferently, without further comment.

The curly–haired woman glanced at the new food on their table and enthusiastically said, “Theo, it seems you just started eating. We are also looking for a place to eat, why don’t we eat together?”

Theo didn’t answer but turned to look at Ellinor.

Ellinor was concentrating on grilling the meat. Realizing that Theo was looking at her, she immediately understood his meaning and casually said “Sure, I don’t mind!

After all, this meal was on Theo’s dime, she was just here to eat. She didn’t care about anything else.

After Ellinor expressed her opinion, Theo agreed, “Sit down then”

Watching the interaction between the two, the curly–haired woman looked a bit gloomy.

Belinda affectionately sat beside Ellinor, and the curly haired woman sat beside Theo.

Since there were only four seats, Byran had to sit on a chair brought over by the waiter After ordering different vegetables and meats, the curly–haired woman smiled and greeted Ellinor, “Hello. I’m Haillie Knotts, a long–time good friend of Theo.”

Ellinor took a sip of water and nodded in response, “Hello.”

Belinda looked at Ellinor with passionate admiration, “Ellinor, I forgot to ask you yesterday, how are you so good at video games? Did you study it before? You’re really amazing!”

Before Ellinor could respond, Byran scoffed, “Hmph, being good at video games makes her your goddess? Belinda, what kind of taste is that!”

Belinda frowned unhappily and glared at Byran, “My goddess is Ellinor, what’s it to you! You think your taste is so high, who’s your goddess?”

Byran raised his eyebrows proudly. “Do you know one of the two top hackers in the world, Snow Bunny? That’s the goddess in my heart! She will also be my future wife! I will definitely win her over and spoil her!

Upon hearing this, Ellinor almost spat out the beef she just put in her mouth, coughing nonstop Belinda immediately became nervous, Auntie, are you alright?”

Theo, who was being roped into a conversation by Haillie, instantly looked over when he heard Ellinor’s cough. He handed her a tissue, instructing her to spit out the food before coughing. “Don’t rush, no one is racing you to eat Haillie was stunned. She had never seen Theo care for a woman like this!

Byran sneered, “Really, such a drama queen!”

Haillie quickly intervened, “Byran, how can you talk like that! Ellinor was really choked Byran was dismissive, “Choked on a barbecue! I think she’s just putting on an act! Trying to look weak on purpose!”

Haillie sighed, “You kid.”

Ellinor wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”

Haillie also stood up. “Ellinor, let me accompany you!”
