Chapter 517
She didn't want him to know where she lived. So she politely said, âDonât sweat it, Mr. Blanchet. I'd
be really grateful if you could drop me off at the highway exit. I can hitch a ride back home from
thereâ
She kept her address under wraps, and he didn't pry, simply telling the driver, âTake me home.â
The driver responded, âYes, Mr. Blanchetâ
Home? The Blanchet's place?
What was that supposed to mean? She hadn't misheard, right? She had no intention of heading
back to the Blanchet's home with him!
Feeling comered, Ellinor reluctantly gave up the name of her residential community, âHarmony
Residence.â
With an impassive face, Theo gave a nod that indicated that he got it.
The elevator started moving. Ellinor made a last-ditch attempt to push back, âMr. Blanchet, it's
pretty late and I am a woman after all. It might lead to misunderstandings if people saw you
heading up with me.â
Theo turned his head to look at her with a sharp gaze, âYou have your partner at home, don't you?
What are you scared I'll do?â
Ellinor had no response.
With no other option, Ellinor reluctantly led Theo into her home.
She knew that no matter what excuse she came up with or how much she resisted, Theo wouldn't
back down. That's just how he was.
Once inside and having changed into slippers, Ellinor said a bit grumpily. âMr. Blanchet, take a seat
wherever you like, I'll go get some water.â
As Theo watched Ellinor head straight to the kitchen, he moved into the living room, scanning
everything in the flat.
The floor was good, the layout was good, and the balcony view was great.
Such a high end flat was definitely out of reach for a fresh college grad like her. Could she really be
married? Did they buy this place when they got hitched?
But there was no sign that she was married. There were no couple photos or wedding pictures.
There were no menâs shoes at the door and there was no manly stuff in the living room. The decor
was very feminine and nothing like a couple's home.
Just when Theo started to have doubts, there was a noise from the bedroom. Was there really a guy
at home?
Theo's brows furrowed and he quickly turned to look.
