Chapter 397


    Chapter 397


    Ellinor was cringing hard and muttered to Theo beside her, “Theo, this is all your fault! You should’ve


    told me we wereing to a birthday party, we can’t just show up empty–handed!”


    Theo shrugged, grabbed a grilled kebab from the barbecue stand, tasted it to see if it was cooked, then


    handed it to her. “You didn’t even get me a gift on my birthday, why would I let you give one to


    someone else first?”


    Ellinor took the skewer, feeling helpless.


    Theo may seem mature, but he can be so childish sometimes, always nitpicking over small things.


    Not long ago, on Theo’s birthday, Ellinor didn’t give him a gift due to some misunderstandings caused


    by Patricia’s sudden return to the country.


    But she actually did buy him a gift that day while shopping with Belinda Wesley. But after seeing Theo


    and Patricia hugging each other at Pearl Moon, she just tossed it away.


    Theo tossed his car keys to Jonah, “This is your gift.”


    Jonah caught it, looked at it, and was bbergasted, “Theo, are you serious? You’re really giving me


    this beauty?”


    “Don’t want it?”


    Jonah quickly pocketed the car keys, “I do! This is awesome!”


    Ellinor watched this unfold, pulled Theo aside, and scolded him, “Theo, it’s someone’s birthday and you


    just casually give them a second–hand car, don’t you think that’s a bit reckless? Is this how you treat


    your friends?”


    Theo gave a slight smile and patted her head, “He doesn’t reallyck anything, and this car is a limited


    edition, one–of–a–kind model that you can’t buy even if you have the money. He has always wanted


    this car, and I’ve never given it to him. I’m only willing to give it away today because of you!


    Theo was such a smooth talker. He even said giving a friend a gift was because of her.


    But that sports car really was a one–of–a–kind limited edition; you can’t buy it even if you’re loaded.


    Theo usually took a business car for traveling; he almost never drove that car, which was pretty much


    brand new.


    And it was something the birthday boy had always wanted, so even if it was second–hand, it was still a


    great gift.


    “But, now that you’ve given the car away, how are we going to get hometer?” Ellinor asked again..


    “You can take me to ride the subway.”


    “Theo, do you have anymon sense?! This is the suburbs; it takes at least 2 hours to get back to


    the city center by subway, and we have to switch lines several times! Most importantly, what if we miss


    thest train?”


    Ellinor was always using him ofckingmon sense!


    Over at the grill, Jonah was barbecuing chicken wings while eavesdropping on their conversation. He


    was first shocked that his friend Theo would actually consider taking the subway, then found Ellinor’s


    scolding of Theo quite audacious and amusing, so he chimed in.


    “What’s there to worry about? If you really miss thest train, you two can stay overnight here. I have a


    guest room with a brand–newfy bed that’s big enough for both of you!”


    Ellinor’s face immediately turned red, and she red at Jonah, “You can keep it for yourself!”


    Theo also gave him a cold look, “Go back to your grilling!”


    These two were really hard to deal with


    “Theo! Come up for a drink!”

    Suddenly, someone called out.


    Looking up, they saw a guy on the second–floor terrace of the vi waving down.


    They could also see Bartlett Rex and Kemp Larios sitting on the outdoor terrace sofa, with Balfour and


    Patricia there too, all looking down at them from above.


    Theo, your buddies are calling you!”
