Chapter 403


    Chapter 403


    Ellinor looked utterly baffled. She stared at Patricia, who was putting on a show on the ground like she


    was a lunatic.


    Balfour Howard, who had just emerged from the vi, quickly rushed over, pushed Ellinor aside and


    asked coldly, “Beat it! What are you trying to do to


    Patri?”


    Without waiting for Ellinor to exin, he quickly bent down to help Patricia up from the ground, his


    heart aching for her.


    Patri, are you okay? Nothing serious, right?”


    Men were always much stronger than girls. Even though Ellinor was steady on her feet, she was


    almost knocked over by Balfour’s push


    She stumbled backward, trying to steady herself, but unfortunately slipped on the cobblestone path


    speciallyid out for the vi and fell into a nearby fish pond.


    The pond wasn’t deep, but the vi was near the mountains and the temperature was quite low at


    night. She felt a chill down to her bones after falling into the water.


    She managed to get her head out of the water but still looked like a drowned rat.


    Just as she was about to get up, a tall figure suddenly jumped down into the pond and swam towards


    her. The man reached out with his long arm and scooped her up.


    It was Theo!This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Ellinor shivered, “Theo, I’m cold…


    Theo quickly took off his coat and wrapped her soaking wet body in it, then carried her back to the


    shore. “There, there, you’ll be alright. Let’s go inside and change your clothes; you won’t be cold then”


    On the shore, Balfour nced at Ellinor, who was nestled in Theo’s arms, with a hint of sarcasm in his


    eyes. He walked up to Theo and said, Theo, before you leave, I think I should exin. I only pushed


    her away just now to stop her from hurting Patri further! Who knew she would fall into the water?!”


    Ellinor frowned. Was Balfour implying that she was pretending to be pitiful by falling into the water on


    purpose?


    Wasn’t Patricia the one who was pretending? Theo red coldly at Balfour, “That’s no excuse for you


    to be rough with a girl!”


    Balfour wasn’t in a hurry to argue. Theo, do you know? Your woman forced Patricia to kneel just now


    and even kicked her away! If I hadn’t seen it and stopped her, she might have stepped on Patri a few


    more times!”


    Theo paused, looking at Patricia, who was pale and shivering; his brows furrowed slightly, ‘Are you


    okay? Did you get hurt?”


    Patricia, still shaken, shook her head, “Theo, I’m okay; don’t me Ellinor. It’s all my fault. I made her


    angry…”


    Theo lowered his head to look at the bedraggled Ellinor in his arms and asked in a deep voice, “What


    happened?”


    Ellinor paused, then hopped out of Theo’s arms and said calmly. There’s no surveince here, so


    whatever I say can’t be proven! But I won’t ept being framed for something I didn’t do. If you don’t


    believe me, call the cops and have me arrested again!”


    After that, she walked alone into the vi, just wanting to warm up..


    Falling into the water and getting cold could cause a cold, and she wasn’t going to risk her health.


    As for Theo, since he didn’t trust her, so be it! She didn’t care!
