Chapter 779: Chapter 779

Someone grabbed her from behind. As she was about to fight back, she was suddenly spun around, and a man’s fresh scent filled her nostrils.

Theo’s kiss was passionate and quick.

Ellinor thought she would fall backward while receiving his passionate kiss, but his long arm gently supported her waist, cherishing her as if she were a precious gem.

Finally finding a chance to catch her breath as her eyes nearly welled up with tears, Ellinor protested, “Mr. Blanchet, didn’t we agree to take it easy today?” Theo’s eyes were filled with tenderness as he panted lightly, “Take it easy; I’m just kissing you.”

Seeing him about to kiss her again, Ellinor quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, “Enough, I’m beat.”

He frowned slightly, gently removing her hand, “Why?”

Ellinor rolled her eyes at him, “What do you mean why? I’m just tired!”

Helplessly cradling her cheek, Theo asked, “Ellinor, why can’t you love me as deeply as I love you?

You always seem so indifferent.”

Ellinor blushed, “Mr. Blanchet, don’t you think you’re a bit too enthusiastic? Young people in love don’t get this heated, and I’m genuinely wiped out.”

Knowing she was tired, he decided to give her a break today.

Suppressing his own urges, he picked up Ellinor and gently sat her down on the bed.

He squatted down in front of her, looking at her tenderly He was only clad in a bathrobe; his hair was still wet and not styled as usual. It added a youthful touch to his face.

As Ellinor looked at him, she couldn’t help but marvel at how handsome this man was!

Theo noticed her staring and gently touched her nose, “I didn’t ask you in the car because there were people around. Tell me now, what’s the deal with you and Balfour? He actually came to our house for you this morning, and his attitude toward you at Pearl Moon had changed. Is it because of you?”

Ellinor didn’t hide anything from him and told him the truth, Well… to be exact, he’s my biological brother.”

Theo seemed surprised, “What do you mean?”

Ellinor shrugged nonchalantly, “I mean, I am the long–lost daughter of the Howard family.”

Theo looked at her, asking in disbelief, “You’re Pearl?”

Ellinor nodded, “Yeah, I think that was my name before.”

Theo furrowed his brows as if he had thought of something.

Ellinor roughly guessed what he was thinking, “Don’t worry, I won’t acknowledge that family, and I don’t consider myself a member of the Howard family. So the past conflicts between the Blanchets and the Howards won’t affect our relationship”

Snapping out of his thoughts, Theo smiled faintly and gently stroked her head, “Good girl.”

Ellinor blinked and then asked, “If the elders of the Blanchet family found out about my blood ties with the Howard family and strongly objected to us being together, would you listen to them and break up with me?”
