Chapter 197
She should be snoozing by now, no need to bother her
Theo returned to his study, his face as blank as a sheet, to crash for the night.
First thing next morning.
Elinor groggily got up, freshened up a bit, tidied herself up casually, and then followed Theo downstairs to hop in the car
In the car, she quickly dozed off on the seal
It’s not like there was anything to talk about with him anyway!
After a car ride of over two hours, they arrived at the Mountain Racecourse.
The moment Elinor got out of the car, a figure swiftly pounced over…
“Elinor”
Belinda Wesley gave her a warm embrace, waking Elinor up quite a bit!
“Elinor, it’s been forever since I last saw you, I missed you so much!*
Elinor gave a helpless smile and said, “Yeah, it’s been ages!”
Belinda clung onto Elinor’s neck, as if she wanted to hang her entire self on her.
Seeing Belinda’s reckless behavior, Theo sternly said, “Back off; don’t crush her”
Belinda, being scared of Theo, reluctantly let go, frowning. “Are you calling me fat?”
Theo gave her a glance, disregarding her words, and questioned, “How come you’re here? Who are you with?”
Belinda replied, ‘Jonah told me he was holidaying here, and since my horse is also here, I thought I’d join in the fun!”
Theo frowned “Does your mom know?”
Belinda seemed a bit guilty, she turned her face towards Elinor and asked with concern, “You look a bit out of it, didn’t sleep well?”
Elinor nodded. “I woke up too early and didn’t get enough sleep.”
Belinda grumbled. “Theo’s such a pain, he knew you had to wake up early for this today, but he didn’t let you get a good night’s sleep!”
Theo and Elinor were both speechless. What the hell was Belinda imagining?
“Elinor, let’s go! We’ll ride the horses; it’ll wake you up!”
Belinda pulled Elinor and dashed towards the horse track.
Theo sauntered behind them
Inside the racecourse.
In the open rest area, under the sunshade,
Haillie Knotts Bryan, Jonah, Kemp Larios, and Bartlett, all dressed in riding gear, sat there chit–chatting.
Belinda ran over, waving and shouting excitedly. “They’re here, they’re here! Theo and Elinor are here!”
Hearing the noise, Jonah and the gang looked over to see Belinda leading Elinor over.
And Theo was following not far behind them.
Barlett gave a smile to Elinor
Haillie, decked out in fancy riding gear, had her perfectly styled wavy hair tied up in a high ponytail to avoid it getting messed up while riding.
Her eyes scanned Elinor from top to toe, seeing her in plain clothes. A sense of superiority and pity flashed in her eyes, and she thought Theo wasn’t treating Elinor well, otherwise, why would she be dressed so simply?
Bryan, on the other hand, frowned when he saw Elinor, as if pondering something.
Jonah stood up, smiling and said, “Theo, you guys didn’t come last night, you missed out on the big feast Bryan treated us to!”
Theo casually stood next to Elinor and said, “No problem, he can treat us again today”
