Chapter 999: Chapter 999

“Ellinor.”

“Ah?”

The man gently lifted her chin and then kissed her passionately.

Ellinor’s eyes widened slightly, feeling a bit awkward about the sudden action from the man. She pushed his chest with both hands but couldn’t push him away, so she gave up resisting.

After a while, the man finally released her with satisfaction, allowing her to breathe freely.

Then, he took a deep breath, exhaling slightly, and said to her, “Darling, I might be very busy in the coming period, shuttling between domestic and international matters. I won’t be able to come home every day.”

The flush on Ellinor’s face faded, and she raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you dealing with foreign business?”

The man nodded and said, “Yes, you can say that. But whenever I have time, I’ll try to come home and be with you.”

Ellinor thought for a moment. “Which countries are you going to? Maybe I can go with you?”

Theo’s eyes brightened, a hint of a smile in his eyes as he asked, “You want to come with me?”

Ellinor frowned and glared at him with a touch of petulance. “I don’t have much to do lately. If I go with you, it can be considered a trip!”

Theo just chuckled softly, his large hand gently patting her head. “You stay home and rest well. I’ll come back to be with you whenever I have time.”

Ellinor stayed silent for a moment and then nodded.

“All right.”

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Blanchet family’s estate.

Theo patted Ellinor’s head again and instructed, “You go back home first. Remember to eat well. I need to go to the company for a while and will be back to be with you in the evening.”

The stock market of the Blanchet family hadn’t fully recovered yet, and he probably had a lot of things to handle right now. Ellinor understood that, so she obediently got out of the car, lazily waved to him, and then turned to walk toward the grand entrance of the Blanchet family.

The man inside the car watched her walk to the entrance, then raised his chin slightly, gesturing for the driver to start.

Ellinor was about to enter the password for the Blanchet family’s entrance when her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and saw an unfamiliar incoming call. She answered, and the person on the other end immediately called out her name, sounding quite unpleasant, “Ellinor!”

“Who is this?” Ellinor asked.

The person on the other end said, “Step back three paces, and you’ll see me.”

Ellinor turned to look behind her; there was no one there. She looked left and right as well, but she couldn’t see anyone’s figure.

‘I’m sorry, I don’t have time to play this boring game with you.”

After speaking, she was about to hang up the phone. The person on the other end seemed to sense that she was about to hang up and hurriedly said, “Wait! Don’t hang up!”
