    Chapter 272


    The guy’s arm stretched over from the girl’s back, grabbing her waist tightly, pulling her into him, and


    their bodies pressed against each other


    Their breaths intermingled and their lips were about to touch


    This sudden closeness made Ellinor’s heart race and annoyed her a bit.


    What on earth was this guy up to?


    Patricia just left!


    If she hadn’t seen Patricia in her pajamas here and known that this guy and Patricia had spent the


    night together, she might have mistaken him for being somewhat nice to her, maybe even having some


    feelings for her.


    However, this guy had just spent the night with Patricia, how could he still have the energy to joke


    around with her like this?

    Men are so hard to figure out!


    Snapping back to reality. Ellinor dodged the guy’s impending kiss.


    She pushed him away with her hands, maintaining some distance, and said, “I get your point, I’ll let you


    know wherever I go in the future; you don’t have to remind me in such a way”


    Theo stood upright, his eyes narrowing as he heard Ellinor’s words, his mood cooling down.


    He looked at Ellinor, a trace of helplessness in his eyes, “You understand? What exactly do you


    understand?”


    Ellinor nced at him, “I get everything! She didn’t want to be too blunt.


    He once said that besides love, he could give her everything


    So she wouldn’t mistake him for having feelings for her.


    Thinking over his concern for her safety was basically because he cared about his future with Patricia.


    If she could make it safely until their divorce, he would just be a regr divorcee, remarrying wouldn’t


    be a big deal.


    But if anything happened to her, he would be a widower, and Patricia would be his second


    wife.


    Many families, let alone well–to–do families like the Howards, are superstitious about this.


    Patricia is the darling of the Howard family, how could they agree to let her be someone else’s second


    wife?


    They couldn’t be together in the first ce because of family conflicts; isn’t this adding another hurdle?


    He must be trying to avoid this situation as much as possible


    But there’s no need to spell it all out as long as you get it in your heart. Speaking too straightforwardly


    would just make everyone feel awkward.


    After thinking it over, Ellinor seriously told Theo, “I hope you won’t bring Ms. Howard home for the night


    again”


    Theo hesitated initially, then his eyebrows raised slightly, peering at her with a probing look, “Why?”


    Are you jealous?


    Ellinor just shrugged nonchntly. “You must have other houses outside, right? Even if there are no


    houses nearby, there would be many hotels for you to choose from. You can take Ms. Howard on a


    date anywhere outside, and I won’t mind. But if you keep bringing people home for the night, it would


    be hard for me to keep ying this Mrs nchet role. There are so many people at home, should I


    manage you, or not? I have no right to manage you. But if I don’t, and this gets to your family elders,


    and they find out that our marriage is fake, then the one in trouble would be you!”
