The guy grabbed a chair, plonked down, and coldly watched her.
Ellinor didn't give two hoots about him and just kept munching on her barbecue skewers. After a while, she waved her skewer in front of the guy's mouth, grinning from ear to ear, "Here, have a bite."
The guy was taken aback, seemingly intrigued, so he slowly opened his mouth...
With a swift move, Ellinor pulled back the skewer and took a big bite, chuckling as she ate, "Weren't you saying you weren't gonna eat?"
Theo was no longer fuming, but he coldly said, "Are you messing with me?"
Ellinor reached into the plate with her other hand, got a fresh grilled skewer, and handed it to him, "Here, have this one. I'm not fooling around anymore! It's not appropriate or hygienic to share a skewer. I'll treat you to a new one! Give it a try, it's really good!"
Having been tricked once, Theo didn't trust her easily this time. He eyed her warily before taking the barbecue skewer.
This time, Ellinor really meant to feed him. She had no intention of pranking him again.
Seeing Theo take the skewer, Collin hurriedly tried to stop him, "You can't eat this filthy stuff!"
Ellinor shot Collin a glance, dismissively saying, "The skewers are tasty. They won't make him sick!"
Collin felt helpless. He couldn't control Ellinor, but Theo had never eaten this kind of stuff before. What if he got a stomachache...
"Mr. Blanchet..."
Theo waved him off, telling him to mind his own business.
