    Chapter 517


    She didn’t want him to know where she lived. So she politely said, “Don’t sweat it, Mr. nchet. I’d be


    really grateful if you could drop me off at the highway exit. I can hitch a ride back home from there”


    She kept her address under wraps, and he didn’t pry, simply telling the driver, “Take me home.”


    The driver responded, “Yes, Mr. nchet”


    Home? The nchet’s ce?


    What was that supposed to mean? She hadn’t misheard, right? She had no intention of heading back


    to the nchet’s home with him!


    Feelingered, Ellinor reluctantly gave up the name of her residentialmunity, “Harmony


    Residence.”


    With an impassive face, Theo gave a nod that indicated that he got it.


    Collin picked up on his cue and directed the driver to Harmony Residence.


    Having heard the conversation between Mr. nchet and Ms. Mendoza, he felt a pang of pity for Mr.


    nchet.


    Poor Mr. nchet had spent a month searching for Ms. Mendoza, only to find she already had a new


    husband. How was he supposed to take that?


    Soon enough, they pulled up at the entrance of Harmony Residence


    “Thanks for the lift, Mr. nchet. Take care” Ellinor said. Then she quickly got out of the car and


    hustled into the building.


    Collin was somewhat taken aback. He wanted to ask Mr. nchet where to next, but he noticed Mr.


    nchet had also gotten out of the car and was following Ms.


    Mendoza.


    Perhaps he didn’t believe that Ms. Mendoza already had a partner and wanted to verify it himself.


    Once inside the building, Ellinor hit the elevator button. As the doors were about to close, a big hand


    suddenly reached in and the elevator doors reopened


    Then Theo, without any expression on his face, stepped in.


    Ellinor halted and frowned in disapproval, “Mr. nchet, why are you tailing me?”


    Theo replied calmly, “I’m thirsty, so I thought I’d get a ss of water at your ce. I hope you don’t


    mind.”


    Ellinor was speechless.


    Mind? She minded a hell of a lot!


    What on earth was this guy up to?


    The elevator started moving. Ellinor made ast-ditch attempt to push back, “Mr. nchet, it’s pretty


    late and I am a woman after all. It might lead to misunderstandings if people saw you heading up with


    me.”


    Theo turned his head to look at her with a sharp gaze, “You have your partner at home, don’t you?


    What are you scared I’ll do?”


    Ellinor had no response.


    With no other option, Ellinor reluctantly led Theo into her home.


    She knew that no matter what excuse she came up with or how much she resisted, Theo wouldn’t back


    down. That’s just how he was.


    Once inside and having changed into slippers, Ellinor said a bit grumpily. “Mr. nchet, take a seat


    wherever you like, I’ll go get some water.”

    As Theo watched Ellinor head straight to the kitchen, he moved into the living room, scanning


    everything in the t.


    The floor was good, theyout was good, and the balcony view was great.


    Such a high end t was definitely out of reach for a fresh college grad like her. Could she really be


    married? Did they buy this ce when they got hitched?


    But there was no sign that she was married. There were no couple photos or wedding pictures.


    There were no men’s shoes at the door and there was no manly stuff in the living room. The decor was


    very feminine and nothing like a couple’s home.


    Just when Theo started to have doubts, there was a noise from the bedroom. Was there really a guy at


    home?


    Theo’s brows furrowed and he quickly turned to look.
