âYour wedding with Ellinor was so low-key, Theo. You guys didnât even have a single photo taken!
Arenât you gonna take her for a nice wedding photo shoot now that sheâs back?â
Before Theo could answer, Ellinor responded, âNo need. Theo probably doesnât like to have his picture taken.â
Belinda frowned and turned to Theo, âYouâre not gonna skip wedding photos, are you?â
Theoâs gaze fell on Ellinor, saying, âOnce in a while, I can handle it.â
Ellinor looked at him in surprise. She had thought that the man who didnât want to marry her would also find it a waste of time to take wedding photos with her. She didnât expect him to agree.
Upon hearing that Theo was willing to take photos, Belinda immediately cheered up, âGreat! I have a photographer friend, Iâll book a wedding photo shoot for you nght now as a wedding gift.â
Ellinor was still uninterested, âBelinda, donât bother, weâll talk about it later.â
But Belinda didnât listen and went out with her phone to make a call.
Ellinor sighed helplessly âSo, you donât want to take a photo with me?â Theoâs voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm, intending to tease her.
Ellinor was taken aback, she turned her head and gave him a glance, âNo, I just donât want to waste your time doing such a boring thing.â
Theo gently patted her head, âItâs not boring. We should have a photo of us together at home.â
Ellinor didnât like the feeling of being oppressed, so she asked. âThen why donât you want to get a marriage document with me?â
After two seconds of silence, Theo softly said to her, âLetâs talk about the marriage document later, you donât care about that piece of paper, do you?â
Ellinor looked quietly into Theoâs eyes, they were so deep and cold, it was like they had no end.
As she came back to her senses, she gave a light laugh, âYeah, I donât care about that kind of thing.â
Indeed, she didnât care about those formalities, but Theoâs inexplicable refusal to get a marriage document with her was something she couldnât accept Even if she didnât care about the paper, she couldnât pretend nothing had happened with his vague attitude.
She felt a tightness in her chest, and the food no longer tasted good.
Theo served her a bowl of soup, scooped up a bit with a spoon, blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to her, âDonât just eat veggies; have some soup, okay?â
He seemed as if nothing had happened, continuing to care for her as always.
âThanks.â Ellinor took the soup. She didnât let him feed her, and she started drinking it herself.
Belinda ran back excitedly. âTheo, Ellinor, eat up! Weâre going to take wedding photos after this!â
Ellinorâs brows furrowed slightly, â¦Now?â
Belinda nodded, âNow is the peak season for wedding photography. All the slots are fully booked, up to three months in advance. I have a friend who specifically reserved a slot for us tonight, otherwise, we would have to wait a very long time!â
Ellinor wanted to tell them to forget it, she didnât feel like taking pictures at the moment.
But Theo spoke before her, âAlright, once sheâs finished eating, weâll go.
