    Chapter 942


    Theo, after drying his hair, walked over to the bed and sat down, catching a glimpse of a message from


    Bartlett on her phone.


    He seemed a bit downcast and asked. “You still keep in touch with Bartlett privately?”


    Ellinor raised her head to meet his gaze. “Not really. He asionally hits me up, but I never respond.”


    Theo sounded a bit miffed. “When did you start saving his contact info?”


    Ellinor had no intention of beating around the bush. She answered truthfully, “The day we took our


    wedding photos. When we got back from Pearl Moon, he sent me a friend request. I didn’t ept it at


    first, but he kept sending it every day. Eventually, I felt bad for ghosting him and epted.”


    Theo moved closer to her, gently ruffling her hair with hisrge hand. “Don’t pay him any mind when I’m


    not around.”


    Ellinor blinked curiously. “I wasn’t nning to! But isn’t lie your friend? Shouldn’t I be polite to your


    friends?”


    Theo gazed into her eyes. “You don’t have to be polite to anyone on my ount. If you want to deal


    with him, do it. If not, don’t. It’s your call.


    Ellinor squinted her eyes. “So, you’re not too keen on your buddy Bartlett? I heard you guys grew up


    together?”


    “Even friends you grow up with can be close or distant.”


    “Oh… So, you’re closer with Jonah and Mr. Larios?”


    Theo slightly furrowed his brow. “We should get some sleep now. Stop worrying about them.”


    With that, he dove under the covers, carrying a hint of shower gel scent.


    Ellinor blushed, immediately feeling something was off. “Hold on, I haven’t showered yet! I’ll go shower


    now!”


    He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as if he couldn’t get close enough. “No need for a


    shower. Let me hold you.”


    Ellinor looked up at his handsome chin, protesting. “If I don’t shower, I won’t be able to sleep!”

    Theo leaned in closer, lightly rubbing her head. “You’ll be able to sleep if I hold you. Don’t worry, I won’t


    take advantage of you tonight. Sleep.”


    “But…”


    “Be good.”


    Ellinor was helpless. He held her so tightly that she couldn’t even move.


    Perhaps his odor was simply too alluring. She intended to wait until he fell asleep before showering.


    But she also ended up falling asleep unintentionally,


    The next day.


    When Ellinor woke up, she found Theo still next to her.


    Typically, he would already be at work when she awoke


    But on that day, as she opened her eyes, she saw Theo lying next to her, propping his head on one


    hand, wearing a teasing smile, She had no idea how long he’d been there.


    Ellinor felt slightly ufortable, frowning, “Theo, why haven’t you gone to work yet? Why are you


    looking at me like that?”


    Theo said, “There’s not much going on at the office today, so there’s no need to rush. I can still make it


    after you have breakfast”


    Despite the significant drop in nchet Corporation’s stock due to yesterday’s events, he remained so


    nonchnt. Shouldn’t he be hurrying to the office to pacify the shareholders?


    Ellinor smirked slightly. “Still, there’s no need for you to stare at me, is there?”


    Theo’s eyes narrowed a bit. “What’s wrong with looking at my wife?”
