    Belinda chuckled and nodded, “Yeah! Don’t worry about me; I’ve already eaten!”


    Theo spoke coldly. “Then what are you still doing here?”


    Belinda was taken aback, thenughed. “Oh, Uncle, I get it leave you guys alone now. Off I go to see if


    my little pony has grown!”


    Ellinor was speechless


    After Belinda ran off, another spoonful of oatmeal was brought to her mouth.


    Ellinor looked down at the catmeal, then up at Theo and frowned slightly. “Theo, do we need to keep


    this act up in front of Belinda too?”


    She thought he was putting on a show?


    Theo was displeased, and the rare softness in his eyes disappeared, “Just eat your palmeal!”


    Ellinor thought Theo’s temper was strange. She opened her mouth to eat the oatmeal but was thinking


    about what a bad temper he had!


    While eating her oatmeal, she heard Theo call her name in a very serious tone.

    “Ellinor.”


    “What’s up” Ellinor looked at Theo, waiting for him to speak.


    Theo stared at her intently and was silent for about a minute before speaking again, “Remember, you


    don’t have to prove anything to anyone, especially not by hurting yourself”


    Ellinor was confused, “So, if I’m falsely used, can’t I prove my innocence?”


    Theo said, “No matter what happens, I’ll believe you unconditionally. You don’t need to prove your


    innocence to anyone else. You’re always innocent in my eyes. Do you understand?”


    Ellinor was stunned and felt very awkward.


    Why was he suddenly making such a promise–like statement?


    Another spoonful of oatmeal was brought to her mouth, but Ellinor shook her head, “Theo, I’m full. I


    can’t eat anymore”


    Theo didn’t force her when she said she didn’t want to eat. Instead, he casually put the spoonful of


    oatmeal into his own mouth and swallowed it.


    Ellinor was momentarily stunned and felt a bit shy when she saw Theo do this.


    Sharing a bowl of oatmeal and utensils was something only intimate people do!


    Theo was a clean freak. Why didn’t he mind eating and using things she had used?


    Ellinor felt a bit ufortable, “Theo, your behavior today is making me quite uneasy!”


    Theo continued eating her leftover oatmeal, casually saying. “If you’re ufortable, you’ll get used to


    it eventually.”


    Ellinor awkwardly said, “There’s no eventually! In two more months, our partnership will end. Once we


    separate, I’ll have to break the habits I’ve developed…”


    “Then let’s not separate Theo responded, his tone t as if stating a very natural fact..


    Ellinor was stunned. What was he talking about?


    Not separate? What did he mean by that?


    “Ellinor,e over here for a moment. I have something to tell you!” Byran suddenly appeared, his


    face serious.


    Before Ellinor could respond, Theo spoke first, “What do you need from her? Just say it here.”


    Facing Theo, Byran frowned, feeling pressured, “Theo, I want to talk to Ellinor alone…”


    Ellinor stood up, “Theo, I’ll go with him for a bit.”


    Theo frowned unhappily and coldly said, “Sit down.”


    Ellinor knew Theo had a strong need for control. She thought for a moment, then leaned in and


    whispered in his ear, “Theo, I’ll go listen first, thene back and tell you secretly”


    Theo’s mood suddenly improved and his stance was no longer as firm. He then responded with a low


    grunt.


    Without thinking too much, Ellinor followed Byran


    Arriving at the horse track’s forest with Byran, Ellinor asked him, “What did you want to tell me? Spit it


    out!” Suddenly, Byran raised his arm and leaned against a tree, effectively trapping Ellinor in his arms.
