She should be snoozing by now; no need to bother her.
Theo returned to his study, his face as blank as a sheet, to crash for the night.
First thing next morning,
Elinor groggily got up, freshened up a bit, tidied herself up casually, and then followed Theo downstairs to hop in the car.
In the car, she quickly dozed off on the seat.
It's not like there was anything to talk about with him anyway!
After a car ride of over two hours, they arrived at the Mountain Racecourse.
The moment Elinor got out of the car, a figure swiftly pounced over...
"Elinor!"
Belinda Wesley gave her a warm embrace, waking Elinor up quite a bit!
"Elinor, it's been forever since I last saw you; I missed you so much!"
Elinor gave a helpless smile and said, "Yeah, it's been ages!"
Belinda clung onto Elinor's neck, as if she wanted to hang her entire self on her.
Seeing Belinda's reckless behavior, Theo sternly said, "Back off; don't crush her."
Belinda, being scared of Theo, reluctantly let go, frowning, "Are you calling me fat?"
Theo gave her a glance, disregarding her words, and questioned, "How come you're here? Who are you with?"
Belinda replied, "Jonah told me he was holidaying here, and since my horse is also here, I thought I'd join in the fun!"
Theo frowned. "Does your mom know?"
