Ellinor was speaking in a super aggressive tone, and it was downright rude.
What the heck happened?
A frown creased Theo's forehead, "Why on earth are you all riled up out of the blue?"
Ellinor threw up her hands, "Theo, I'm not mad at you! I just feel like we don't need to play house when no one is around; we don't need to nurture feelings, either. We should keep some distance between us!"
The woman in Theo's heart, Patricia, seemed to be making a comeback soon.
He seemed to have feelings for Patricia still.
Therefore, she had zero interest in being a part of someone else's love story.
Byran and Haillie were giving her a hard time because of this.
As for that night a few days ago, it was a last resort for her to be with Theo because he was poisoned. She would wipe that memory from her mind, seal it off forever like it never even happened.
After this, when they don't need to pretend to be a couple, she must keep a distance from Theo to ease her conscience!
All her words were driving Theo up the wall!
Till now, she thinks he's just playing along with her.
She wouldn't fail to notice his feelings for her if she paid attention.
"Keep a distance?" Theo retorted, "Sure, then kindly remove yourself, don't sleep in my room. After all, men and women should keep a distance, right?"
"Fine! I'm out!"
Ellinor nodded, forcefully shrugged off Theo's arm around her waist, and bolted; she would sleep in the guest room!
She really left?
A vein popped on Theo's forehead; he ground out his cigarette, picked up the water glass on the table, and drained it in one gulp.
He lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke; he was seriously pissed.
What the heck was this woman playing at?
