Ellinor looked puzzled, and Theo squinted at her with a sarcastic grin, âStill donât get what you misunderstood about me?â
Ellinor snapped out of it and stared at him, âTell me, what did I misunderstand about you?â
Instead of answering the man pulled a folder out of the pocket on the back of the front seat and handled it to her Whatâs this?â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow and took the folder with confusion. Inside was a document all in foreign language.
Luckily, Ellinor could understand the language on the document. The title was an adoption agreement, and the rest was all about adoption.
In the top left corner of the document was a 2-inch photo, the boy in the photo was the same kid that had been with Patricia before The kid was adopted?
Ellinor furrowed her brows, looking confusedly at Theo, âIf heâs just an adopted child, why did I hear him call you âDaddyâ so naturally?â
The man rubbed his forehead with one hand, âI adopted him from abroad. Heâs still young and canât speak well, so he only knew how to say âDaddy and Mommy when he first cameâ
So Theo and Patricia didnât have a child together.
The man gave her a sidelong glance, âYou saw me interacting with the child and jumped to conclusions. Shouldnât you have asked me for clarification before making a decision? You just left without giving me a chance to explain.â
Ellinor glared at him, slightly annoyed, âDidnât I ask? I wanted to ask you then! I even called you, but you lied to me saying you were still abroad! If you didnât do anything wrong, why did you lie?â
Theo was taken aback.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he sat up straight and cleared his throat, âIâm sorry, that was my mistake.
I had planned to tell you the truth in person, I was afraid I couldnât explain it well over the phone and you would get angry.â
Ellinor scoffed, âA lie is a lie, and youâre making excuses that you didnât want to make me angry? The way you talk, it sounds like Iâm the one in the wrong and youâre the victim!â
Even though Theo appeared dominant, he always ended up losing when arguing with her.
âYouâre not wrong. I am!â
The man reached out and gently picked her up and sat her on his lap. Ellinor furrowed her brow, âWhat are you doing? Iâm warning you! Weâre not in a relationship now, you better respect me!â
Instead, the man held her tighter, âEllinor, canât I feel a bit wronged? You heartless woman, you left me without a word, not wanting me anymore!â
I just left reasonably after our collaboration ended!â
Ellinor was like an uncooperative child, trying her best to escape from the manâ¦
However, her feeble strength was no match for this strong man.
The manâs large hand pressed against the back of her head, gently yet firmly holding her head against his shoulder, calming her down.
At the same time, his deep, magnetic voice coaxed her, âEasy, just listen to me. I know I was wrong, itâs all my fault.
I didnât tell you beforehand and decided on my own to accompany Patricia to adopt a child, causing you to misunderstand. I was in the wrong.â
Hearing his sincere apology and explanation, Ellinor was stunned. She stopped struggling.
