Chapter 1215


    Chapter 1215


    Ellinor had juste down the stairs when she noticed Theo. She gave him a quick nce, then


    swiftly looked away.


    “I appreciate his offer, but I don’t want to grab a bite. I’ve got other stuff to do.” Ellinor politely declined


    Belinda.


    Belinda was a bit ticked off. “Auntie, what’s up with you? Why don’t you even want to share a meal?”


    Ellinor didn’t answer her question. Instead, she only smiled. “Belinda, I think it’s better if you just call


    me by my name now.”


    Belinda was a tad peeved. “Auntie, haven’t I always called you that? Why…?”


    “Justy off calling her Auntie if she doesn’t want it.”


    Before Ellinor could respond to Belinda, the window slowly lowered in the back seat of a distant ck


    business car, revealing Theo’s stern face.


    He was the one who just spoke.


    Belinda rolled her eyes in frustration. “Fine! Ellinor,e dine with us, or if you’re heading somewhere,


    my uncle can give you a lift.


    “No need.” Ellinor shook her head, ready to walk past Belinda and leave.


    Theo’s voice rang out again. “Get in the car, Ellinor. Don’t we need to settle this once and for all?”


    Ellinor paused; her heart felt like it was clenched in a vice grip.


    He was right; it was high time they settled things.


    Apparently, Theo didn’t have much of a hold on her, nor was he nning to be a clingy pain in the ass.


    She had wasted half a year hiding for nothing,pletely overthinking things.


    Ellinor turned to look at him. “Alright, let’s settle this!”


    Then she instructed Ida’s secretary to go back and then she walked towards Theo’s car.


    Belinda called down her already boarded boyfriend to sit in the front passenger seat, then tried to help


    the pregnant Ellinor into the car.


    Ellinor waved off Belinda’s help, signaling her to get in first.


    The back seat could only fit three people. Theo was already in the car. If Ellinor was the one who got in


    first, she would have to sit in the middle, right next to Theo.


    The implication behind Ellinor’s gesture for Belinda to get in first couldn’t be clearer. Belinda, of course,


    understood but resigned, so she climbed in first.


    No one noticed Theo’s expression change.


    After getting in the car, Ellinor kept looking at the scenery outside.


    She agreed to get in because Belinda and her boyfriend were present today. Otherwise, she might


    have had to face Theo alone, which she didn’t want.

    The atmosphere in the car was suffocating, and no one spoke.


    Even the usually talkative Belinda, now awkwardly sandwiched in the middle, didn’t know what to say.


    But staying silent was even more stifling.


    Belinda tried to lighten the mood, so she chuckled and broke the ice. “Auntie, where have you been all


    this time?”


    Ellinor replied. “I went to a quiet ce and spent some time alone.”


    Belinda asked curiously. “Were you all by yourself?”


    Ellinor grunted in a low voice as a sign of approval.
