Seeing Belindaâs adorable face, Ellinor hesitated but couldnât resist. She nodded, âAlright, letâs go together then.â
Belinda was over the moon with Ellinorâs consent. âI knew youâd take me along. Ellinor. Haha!â
Theoâs face clouded over as their duo suddenly became a trio. He turned to Ellinor, âWerenât you just inviting me out to eat?â
Ellinor gave an exasperated reply. âHaving one more person only adds an extra set of cutlery, Theo.
Donât be such a tightwad!â
Belinda chimed in, âExactly. Theo! Iâm family! Canât believe youâre being stingy even with me. Youâre not even willing to bring me along for a meal?â
Theo gazed at her with a stern look, âIf youâre coming along, then sit down and behave!â
After being scolded by Theo, Belinda quickly returned to her seat.
Theo stepped on the gas, and the car quickly left the Blanchet Building.
After ordering a few signature dishes, Ellinor passed the menu to Belinda to order.
Belinda had no qualms about adding a few dishes she wanted, and she also ordered drinks.
Once Belinda had ordered, Ellinor took the menu back and handed it to Theo, Theo, is there anything else youâd like?â
Theo glanced at the menu and didnât take it. He scoffed, âDo I need to order anything?â
Ellinor knew Theo was upset. She smiled and said, âTheo, youâre the star of todayâs meal. Of course you need to order.â
Theo pretended to be angry, âOh, you remember that Iâm the star? I thought someone mistook me for a chauffeur today.â
Theo took the menu and ordered a few light dishes and some soup.
The two ladies had ordered pretty heavy dishes, and Ellinor, who was pregnant, couldnât have anything too spicy.
He was a bit miffed, but he was more concerned about Ellinorâs well-being.
Why was he upset?
Because on the way here, Ellinor had been chatting with Belinda, leaving him out.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Ellinor walked in hand in hand with Belinda, not once looking back at him.
Now seated at the table, Ellinor let Belinda order first and only remembered him, the so-called star, at the end.
Ellinor chuckled when she heard the light dishes Theo added, knowing he was considering her. She also didnât miss the displeasure on Theoâs face She was amused that Theo was actually jealous of Belinda.
Ignoring Belindaâs presence, Ellinor reached out to hold Theoâs face, âTheo, youâre overthinking things.
How could you be a driver? Thereâs no driver as handsome as you in the world.â
Theoâs cool and handsome face broke into a smile in a second. He gently patted Ellinorâs head, âWhoâs been teaching you to sweet talk like this?â
Belinda rested her chin on her hand, watching Theo and Ellinorâs sweet interaction enviously. Thinking about her single status, she lamented, âAh, when will I have a sweet romance like this?â
