Kemp asked, âSo whoâs driving?â
Theo turned to the little girl who had just suggested that he kneel on a durian, âBelindaâ
âOkay!â Belinda came over immediately Theo tossed the car keys to her, âYouâre drivingâ
Belinda had only had juice and soft drinks that day. She didnât dare drink alcohol because Theo was there.
She seemed a bit peeved as she took the car keys, âTheo, why on earth did you think of me for driving!â
Theo responded, âDonât yap, itâs windy outside, so get the car to the lobby entrance!â
âOkay!â Belinda went outside to drive the car.
She understood Theoâs concern. He was worried that Ellinor would catch a chill in the night air.
That was so heartwarming. Who wouldâve thought that the always tough Theo, when in love, would become so considerate.
She used to worry that Theo would end up alone because of his personality.
Belinda drove the car to the lobby entrance and honked the horn to signal that everyone could come out.
Theo and Kemp nodded their thanks to her, then helped Ellinor out of the lobby.
Theo!
The sound of Patriciaâs voice came along with the sound of her rushing down the stairs.
Theo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her with an expressionless face..
Patricia ran down, panting. âTheo, are you leaving?â
Theo nodded, holding Ellinor, âYes, itâs quite late.â
Patricia looked reluctant, âArenât you going to check on Baber one more time? After you left, his fever rose again.â
Theo frowned, âIsnât Balfour there? Let him call the doctor; if itâs serious, take him to the hospitalâ
Patricia nodded, âBalfour is with Baber, but what Baber needs most is his dad, notâ¦
Everyone present was well aware of Patriciaâs feelings for Theo and Theoâs feelings for Patricia.
This was serious, so even the usually talkative Jonah kept silent, feeling awkward for them.
Theo looked serious, but before he could say anything. Ellinor spoke up with a smile, âMiss Howard, since you know that the child needs his dad? Then you should hurry up and find him a dad!â
Patricia looked weakly at Ellinor, âEllinor, what do you mean by that? Isnât Theo Baberâs dad?â
Ellinor smiled, leaning against Theo, her tone light but her words strong, âIâm sorry, but Mr. Blanchet is the father of my child; he didnât father any child with any other woman.
Miss Howard, didnât you understand what I just said? Let me explain it to you!â
What Iâm saying is, Miss Howard, you should be spending your time finding a man who is willing to love you and your child instead of trying to make someone elseâs husband the father of your child. Thatâs not very ethical, donât you think?
Patricia looked awful, she was furious inside, but on the surface, she was still playing the weak and innocent, âEllinor, but Baber was adopted by Theo and I together.â
