Chapter 871
Ellinor cocked an eyebrow, âTheo, Rome wasn't built in a day ya know. Your sister turned out this
way because you and your folks spoiled her silly when she was a kid. You can't just kick her to the
curb. Maybe you should have some patience, go a few rounds with her, and let her figure things out
so she can change on her own.â
Theo froze a bit. Ellinor always knew how to look out for him.
He was tough on Veronica, but deep down, he couldn't bear to really kick her out.
Where would she go? Back to her flirtatious mom? Sheâd just get worse!
Veronica might be his half-sister, but she was his only sister and she meant something to him
Back when he was swamped with work, he didn't have time to discipline her Since she was feeling
lonely at home, he'd try to fulfill all her whims
As she grew older, Veronica's flaws started to show She was lazy and arrogant, no one at school
wanted to be friends with her.
She had been a real pain in the neck for him all these years
Theo gently pinched Ellinor's cheek You act like a little devil but you're always so sensible that it's
heartbreakingâ
Ellinor rolled her eyes, Shoo, shool I'm making noodles, don't bug mel
With that, she wriggled out of his grip turned around and started to cook
Theo, however wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. What noodles?
Ellinor frowned, âCbviously the noodles you're gonna eat! Theo, did you forget you haven't eaten
yet?â
âI'm not hungry I'll eat later, let me
aste of you first
As he spoke, he took the bowl! of egg mixture from her and placed it to the side. He twisted her
around, held her close, and kissed her gently
âTheo stopâ
Sometimes Ellinor really couldn't handle this mi kissing obsession. She had to question it
She just wanted to make him some noodles, why was it so hard?.
Only after a long while did Theo let her go, but her legs were already weak
To prevent him from making any more moi
Ellinor shooed him away.
Theo, go wait outside! Donât bother me here! I cant work with you aroundâ
He smiled. âWhy can't you work? Is it because you're too nervous with me here?
Ellinor rolled her eyes, âIsn't it because you cant keep your hands to yourself? Go, go, go! Get out!
Or I won't let you eat when I'm done cooking Theo stopped teasing her âAlright, alright, I'm going.
Be careful, don't burn yourself *
"Yeah, yeah, whatever
With that, Then left.
Finally Ellinor could breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on making noodles for him.
Just as the noodles were almost done, her phone rang. It was a call from Chase
Ellinor answered âChase, what's up?â
Chase's voice was senous. âEllinor, I just received some news. Someone's been digging around in
the village where you grew up â
Ellinor's brows furrowed, âDigging into my past? Who?"
Chase replied, âOur sources confirm that it's someone sent by the Howard familyâ
Ellinor squinted thoughtfully âHow far have they gotten?
