Watching Ellinor blush in embarrassment. Theoâs smirk grew wider âEllinor, if you want to be a good wife, you gotta learn to call your husband âhoney âCall you âhoney?â Ellinor thought about his suggestion, then scoffed, âNah, I think Iâd get goosebumps!
Not willing huh?
Theoâs face darkened, his hand on her stomach pressing down harder Ellinor suddenly felt uncomfortable, she grimaced, âOuch, be gentle!â
Because of her cramps, her voice was weak. The phrase be gentle in this room, where only the two of them were, seemed rather suggestive.
Both froze, looking at each other with stiff expressions.
After a moment of silence. Theo chuckled, âHow gentle do you want me to be, hmm?â
His hand really did lighten up, tickling her stomach like a playful teaseâ¦.
Ellinor felt ticklish and was sure this man was just messing with her. Annoyed, she snapped, âHmph, you better take your hand off me and back off!â
Hand?
Theo leaned closer to her, âWhat are you so nervous about? Blushing like that?â
Ellinor put her hand on his chest, trying to push him away. âIâm not nervous, Iâm just, umâ¦.
Hot That word added another layer of suggestion to the already charged atmosphere.
hotâ¦â
She was uncomfortable, her face red from being teased, she bit her lip nervously Her long lashes cast shadows on her large, teary eyesâ¦
The usually careless Ellinor now looked so vulnerable, Theoâs eyes softened, his throat suddenly dry.
Fine, no more teasing!
He gave her a deep look, pulled his hand back and handed her a glass of water from the bedside table, âHave it.â
Ellinor took the water, âThanksâ
Theo got up and went to the bathroom.
Ellinor sighed in relief, today Theo was acting a bit offâ¦.
Meanwhile, at the front door of the Blanchet family home.
Veronica sat in her pink sports car, growing more and more irritated, and banged the steering wheel in frustration.
After a failed scheme, she had been scolded by her grandmother. In a bad mood, she went for a drive.
But now, she didnât dare to go home. Seeing her brotherâs car in the yard, she was scared, scared of being scolded againâ¦.
That damn Ellinor was her nightmare!
Ever since Ellinor married into their family, she felt like she was always in trouble. Even her doting grandmother was now constantly displeased with her, always urging her to learn from Ellinor Learn what from Ellinor? Her poverty?
As Veronica was feeling restless, she noticed a short, plump man sneaking around their front doorâ¦
Who was this?
Veronica got out of the car, watched for a moment, then walked over and asked, âWho are you? What are you doing loitering around our house?â
