With an Icy tone. Theo said to her, âPut your clothes on!â Then he left her alone in the room without a second thought.
Of course, she believed that Theo wasnât the type to mess around. She knew all about his self-control and strict principles.
But why did such a disciplined man like Theo lose control when it came to Ellinor?
Why?
Suddenly, an unfamiliar number called. Thinking it was the food she ordered, Ellinor picked up the phone without any hesitation, âHello, whatâs up?â
However, the person on the other end didnât say anything for a while.
Ellinor furrowed her brows in confusion, âHello, whoâs this? Canât you hear me?â
âI can.â
It was a manâs voice Ellinor recognized it right away. It was Balfour.
She was a bit surpnsed that Balfour would actually call her himself.
Glancing at Patricia, who was sitting next to her with ill intentions, she wondered if Balfour was trying to contact her because of Patricia again.
Ellinor squinted her eyes and asked, âYeah, what do you want?â
Balfour said, âDo you have time to meet up with me today? I have something to discuss with you face-
to-face.â
âNot reallyâ
Without a second thought, Ellinor declined his request and wanted to hang up. She just wanted to keep her distance from these siblings.
It wasnât that she was scared, she just didnât want to get herself into more trouble and waste her time.
âHold on, donât hang up yet!â
Balfour guessed that she was about to hang up and stopped her in time.
Ellinorâs finger paused, âIf you have something to say, just say it over the phone.â
There was a sigh in Balfourâs voice, âIâve been feeling very sorry recently. Iâve misunderstood you a lot⦠Ellinor, can I see you face-to-face? I have something important to tell you. It wonât take much of your time.â
When Balfour invited her over the phone, Patricia was sitting next to her, drinking a cup of milk, and glaring at Ellinor.
Ellinor thought about it, âFine, then come to the Blanchet villa to find me.â
Balfour hesitated, âItâs not very convenient for me to go to the Blanchet villa, can you come out?â
âThen forget it!â
This time, Ellinor hung up the phone directly.
In the morning, Quinton called to say that Balfour wanted to meet her, and now Balfour called himself.
This was really weird.
