But Theo had already spotted her. She had no choice but to go over, or she wouldn’t have a way to explain why she didn't.
Ellinor sighed and walked over, "Theo, I'm back."
Theo was sipping a cup of coffee when he glanced at her, "What did he tell you?"
Ellinor shook her head boredly, "Nothing worth mentioning. He's too naive."
Theo suddenly felt unhappy. She had promised to tell him what Byran said when she returned. Was she lying to him?
Jonah patted the stool next to him, grinning, "Ellinor, have a seat. Let's chat!"
Ellinor glanced at Jonah; she didn't want to chat with him at all. He'd definitely make her uncomfortable.
Just then, Belinda ran over from a distance, "Ellinor! Let's pick a horse. It's cool in the morning and perfect for a horse race. It'll get super-hot at noon!"
Ellinor looked at Belinda, then at Theo, and asked earnestly, "Theo, can I go?"
Although she wouldn’t always obey Theo, he brought her here today, mainly to play the role of his wife. So she had to respect his opinion.
If he let her go, she could leave his side.
Theo, who was originally upset with her for not telling the truth about Byran, felt happy again when he heard her asking for his permission.
He looked at her affectionately and nodded slightly, "Go have fun."
"Thanks, Theo!"
After a small laugh, Ellinor turned around and followed Belinda to the stables.
Theo sipped his coffee, watching Ellinor until she was out of sight.
