Chapter 48
Was this guy starting to doubt her, tou, just like Byran?
They were just a couple for the show so they have no absolute trust.
Ellinor was a bit disappointed but didn’t really give a hoot She shook her head and coolly replied, “I didn’t nab it.”
Theo’s face was poker–faced, he just casually nodded and said, “Alright, let’s bounce.”
The food in the barbecue joint was strong–smelling, and the place was hot and noisy, not his cup of tea
They were about to leave, Byran paused, and his brow furrowed lighter.
He couldn’t swallow that it would end like this, he stepped in front of Theo and said, “Theo, she’s a thief, how can you still trust her?”
Theo squinted, “The thing wasn’t stolen. What do you want her to do?”
Byran stubbornly said, “But she’s a thiefl Theo, how can you let a thief stick around you!”
Theo’s face turned icy, he coldly asked, “Who are you calling a thief?”
Byran was a bit scared, but he still firmly pointed at Ellinor, “Her…”
Theo’s face turned stern, “Say that again?”
Haillie stepped forward, softly saying. That’s enough, Bytan, don’t say any more. I feel bad for causing such a fuss over my watch.”
She took the watch from Byran and walked up to Ellinor…
“Ellinor, if you fancy this watch, I can give it to you”
After saying this, Haillie put the watch on Ellinor’s wrist, smiling, “Consider it a gift for our first meeting”
Byran frowned. “Haillie, she’s a thief, why are you gifting her
your
watch!”
Haillie looked helplessly at Byran, “Byran, don’t say that. Ellinor probably didn’t mean to.”
Byran mumbled discontentedly. “Hallie, you’re too kind”
Ellinor looked at the watch on her wrist; it was delicate and beautiful, encrusted with a few large diamonds.
She laughed like she had gotten a treasure, appreciating the watch for a while, and then looked up at Haillie, “Is it okay? Isn’t this the last gift your grandfather gave you before he died? Can you really give me such an important thing?”
Seeing Ellinor’s naive expression, Haillie suddenly felt she was just ordinary, she smiled and said, “Of course. The watch is precious to me, but as long as it doesn’t fall into strangers hands, I don’t mind. Ellinor, I think we have a unique bond. So, gifting it to you is another kind of memory”
Ellinor smiled lightly and raised her eyebrows, “Then I should accept your kindness?”
Byran didn’t like the fake and materialistic side of Ellinor, he scoffed, “You actually took it!”
Ellinor just gave Byran a glance, ignoring him. She lifted her arm, swung the watch, and asked Theo, “Honey, if I say I like this watch, would you buy one for me?” The term “honey‘ gave Theo a jolt.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her intensely. “Sure.”
“That’s good!” Ellinor nodded in satisfaction, carefully took off the watch, and tossed it directly into the barbecue dish on the table!
Her action stunned everyone present, it was an expensive watch!
Haillie was in shock, her whole body trembling. “My watch…”
Byran shouted in surprise and anger, “Ellinor, what are you doing!”
Ellinor calmly took a napkin from the table, carefully wiping her wrist and fingers, her expression as if she had just touched something disgusting.
After cleaning her hands, Ellinor threw away the napkin, then said to Theo, “Honey, you don’t have to buy me any watch, just compensate Haillie for her watch!” After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving alone.
Haillie could no longer keep up her smile, she said awkwardly. “Theo, why is Ellinor acting like this…”
Theo watched Ellinor’s retreating figure with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He looked at Haillie, his expression returning to normal, “That’s just how she is, straightforward. Send the watch’s price to Collin, he will compensate you ten times later.”
Haillie was stunned, she said sadly, “Theo, we’ve known each other for so many years; you know I don’t care about the money of a watch, but that watch really meant a lot to me Isn’t Ellinor being a bit too much…”
