    Chapter 270


    Patricia tugged gently at Theo’s sleeve, saying softly. “Theo, I’ve met Ellinor. She’s, just as you said, a


    really nice girl. I like her too.” Theo’s gaze shifted from Ellinor to Patricia He lowered his voice, “Go


    change. I’ll have Collin take you home. Your folks are waiting” Though reluctant, Patricia obediently


    nodded, “All right, I’ll head back first”


    Theo gave a curt nod. When he looked up again, his brows furrowed


    Ellinor, who was just standing there a moment 200, was gone.


    While Theo and Patricia were talking, Ellinor slipped upstairs to her room. She felt really awkward just


    standing there.


    As soon as Ellinor entered the room, she noticed that things had been moved around.


    This was Theo’s bedroom. After joining the nchet family, she had been living here to y the role of


    Mrs. nchet better.


    Theo seldom slept here when he came back. He would just bathe and sleep on the couch, barely


    touching anything in the room.


    The servants cleaning the room didn’t dare to move anything either. But now, many things on the


    shelves and tables had been moved around.


    Even the bedsidemp, which had been on the left bedside table, was now on the right.


    Ellinor was used to sleeping on the left side of the bed Themp was ced there for her convenience


    when she needed to get up in the night. Now that it was on the right, she noticed it immediately.


    The bed sheet and pillows were elegant, without a single wrinkle. It was obvious that someone had


    tidied up this morning


    Could it be that Theo and Patricia had slept herest night?


    It made sense Theo brought his woman home. Why wouldn’t they sleep in his room?


    Ellinor frowned, feeling a bit ufortable.


    It didn’t feel clean here. She decided to go to the guest room.


    Just as she turned to open the door, Theo’s towering figure appeared, and his aura engulfed her.


    Ellinor instinctively took a step back and looked up at him.


    Up close, the signs of exhaustion on Theo’s face were even more apparent. The bloodshot eyes


    revealed his sleepless night.


    Elinor wonder how much Theo loved Patricia for him to lose hisposure like that.


    Elinor’s eyes turned cold. “Theo, you look tired today. You can have a room. I’ll go to the guest room.”


    With that, she tried to walk past him…


    But Theo coolly moved a step, blocking her way, his voice demanding. “Where were youst night?”


    His tone was low and calm, devoid of any wave of emotion, yet it exerted a strong sense of pressure.


    “I was at a friend’s ce,” she answered honestly


    Theo frowned, his gaze harsh, You dare note home now?”


    Ellinor also frowned What was Then trying to say?


    She was an adult, not a child. What’s the big deal about asionally staying at a friend’s ce?


    Besides, why should shee back?


    What if she saw or heard something she shouldn’t have? Wouldn’t that be awkward?Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
