Chapter 529
Ellinor heartily laughed. Then she looked at him, “Mr. Blanchet, do you really think it was that simple? That something would happen between us just because of that one emergency?”
Theo looked confused. He stared at her for a while, seeing that she seemed neither guilty nor nervous, Slowly, he exhaled a puff of smoke, his confusion dispersing like the smoke, though not entirely.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “Where’s your husband?”
Caught off guard, Ellinor almost forgot that she was married. She blinked awkwardly and said, “Oh, him? He’s probably working his butt off at this hour!”
Theo fell silent again.
“Is Bartlett chasing after you?”
Ellinor was taken aback when she heard this question.
She didn’t expect the conversation to shift to Bartlett.
Well, Bartlett’s actions did seem like he was pursuing her. Denying it would seem like she was hiding something.
Ellinor candidly nodded, “Perhaps!”
Theo snickered, “You’re already married, can you accept another man’s pursuit?”
Accept? Ellinor squinted her eyes. Where did he get the idea that she accepted it?
She suddenly felt peeved and decided not to entertain his question anymore.
“If I want to, is there a problem?”
Theo looked at her coldly and his eyes filled with sarcasm, “I didn’t realize before, but your heart is quite big! You can accept two men at the same time and not
miss a beat with either!”
Ellinor was speechless.
She didn’t realize before that Theo was such a playboy. He could date two women at the same time, not miss a beat with either, and even have children!
The more they talked, the angrier she got. She didn’t want to speak to him anymore!
“Correct! My heart is not only big but also open. I want to offer a home to all the men in the world! So what? Mr. Blanchet, it seems like it’s none of your business, right?”
Theo frowned, “Ellinor, what do you mean by that?”
Ellinor felt annoyed and laughed flirtatiously. “What? Mr. Blanchet, are you feeling left out? Do you want to have a place in my heart too?”
Theo looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with offended anger and dissatisfaction with her careless attitude.
Ellinor laughed lightly, walked up to him, stood on her tiptoes, and said mockingly, “Sorry, but you’re just too old for me I’m not interested in old men. There’s a generation gap!”
After speaking, she even took the half–smoked cigarette from his hand and flicked off the ash in front of him, “Smoke less; it’s bad for your skin. You’ll age!*
Theo’s face darkened suddenly and his veins throbbed on his forehead.
Did she just call him old?
Was she with another man because of the generation gap?
Chase was indeed closer to her age and seemed like he was only a few years older at most. There wouldn’t be any communication issues due to an age difference.
Ellinor sighed, turned around and left, opting not to converse with him anymore.
Theo stood there with a stern face, staring at Ellinor’s retreating figure. He watched as she threw the half–smoked cigarette he had into the bin, then walked back to the private room with a determined stride.
His gaze sharpened again. Was her nausea really just a stomach issue?
He pulled out his phone and called Collin, his voice cold as he instructed him.
“Check if Ellinor has visited any gynecology departments in hospitals recently.”
