"So you're playing the violin for them?"
Ellinor said, "You think I want to? It's because some people intentionally spread rumours about the principal and me, causing misunderstandings among most of my classmates. Only when I play the violin will they apologize! The principal is an elder I deeply respect, so I have to help him clear things up!"
After hearing this, Theo looked at her sideways, then leaned in closer, "So why aren't you helping me clear things up?"
Suddenly a handsome face popped up. Ellinor jumped.
"What should I help you clear up?"
As Theo spoke, he leaned in closer.
"You need to clarify that I am your husband!"
The word 'husband' falling into her ears made Ellinor's heart flutter.
Regaining her senses, Ellinor instantly replied with disgust, "Forget it! I don't want people to know that I got married so early. I still want to marry the person I like in the future!"
Hearing her mention a 'future husband', Theo sarcastically replied: "Really? I'd like to see who dares to marry a woman like you!"
Feeling belittled by him, Ellinor asked unhappily, "What's wrong with me?"
Theo replied with an unhappy tone: "Ms Mendoza is so fierce, you would kiss any random stranger outside. What kind of person are you?"
Ellinor responded angrily, "I told you, that was an accident."
The driver suddenly hit the brakes. Due to inertia, the two of them, face to face, unintentionally leaned in, their lips colliding and then bouncing back...
Straightening up, Theo backed away from her, "Sorry."
He didn't mean to.
Ellinor blushed, she wanted to be angry, but she didn't feel that mad.
The awkward part was she had just emphasized that her first time grabbing him and kissing him was an accident, and just now, he obviously didn't mean to. How could she question him ? That would only make her more embarrassed.
She didn't say anything, only pushed Theo away, furiously wiped her mouth, turned her head, and rolled down the window, letting the wind blow, pretending like nothing had happened.
Seeing Ellinor like this, Theo was momentarily captivated.
The car stopped, the driver went to check, then came back to report: "Mr Blanchet, there's been a car accident ahead, causing a traffic jam, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass for a while."
