Chapter 60
Theo grunted a response, “When did you get back?”
Bartlett stepped forward, grinning from ear to ear, “About a week ago. My return was quite rushed, I haven’t even had a chance to catch up with you and Jonah yet!”
Theo replied, “No rush, whenever you have time”
Bartlett chuckled, “Theo, we actually bumped into each other at the Twilight Bar last time, but you seemed pretty occupied so I didn’t bother you‘
“Really?” Theo’s face was expressionless, but a hint of chill flickered in his eyes.
Indeed, they had crossed paths at the Twilight Bar.
That night, Ellinor lost a game at the Twilight Bar and was punished to kiss a guy. The guy she was supposed to choose was Bartlett
Bartlett continued, “Theo. I heard you got hitched recently Looks like I missed out on the wedding feast!”
A smirk tugged at Theo’s lips, “My wife and I can treat you to a meal another day”
Bartlett paused for a second, then smiled, “Sounds good, I’ll be looking forward to it!”
Just then, Collin rushed in saying, “Mr. Blanchet, Ms. Mendoza isn’t feeling well. For some reason, she suddenly started having a nosebleed!”
Theo furrowed his brows and quickly headed towards the restroom…
Bartlett followed.
In the restroom.
Ellinor was bent over the sink washing her nose, the water in the white basin was tinged with red.
After washing up, she stuffed tissue into her nostrils to stop the bleeding
Turning around, she looked funny, like a little pig
Theo was watching her from behind, a touch of mockery in his eyes.
Ellinor looked weak, her large eyes listless, “Superior Sir, I’m okay now, we can go.”
After saying that, she took weak steps, walked past Theo, and tried to walk out on her own….
Theo frowned, turned around and caught up with her, lifting her up.
Ellinor was startled, “Superior Sir? What are you…”
“You’re in no condition, we’re going to the hospital!”
“I don’t want to go to the hospital…”
Theo looked at the pale, weak Ellinor in his arms, “Just listen to me! Your health is closely related to my personal issues until we divorce. I’m not interested in becoming a widower at this age!”
So that’s it Ellinor furrowed her brows, gave a dry laugh, “Sir, don’t worry, I won’t die even if you do!”
Seeing her frail appearance but stubborn mouth, a hint of mockery flashed in Theo’s eyes, ‘So, you’ll be a widow if I die?”
Ellinor giggled softly, “Sounds good, doesn’t it? As his spouse, I could inherit his vast fortune, and there’ll be one less nuisance at home?
Theo’s face changed, but he quickly laughed, “Seems like I need to watch out for you in the future!”
Ellinor gave him a glance, then turned her head away.
Whatever, let it be. No more struggles!
She was too uncomfortable, no energy left to struggle or walk…
Every step she took felt like walking on broken glass!
