Ellinor: "Hmm, indeed it's not him."
Ida: "Now that's interesting! It seems someone is stirring the pot, making everyone who sees this whole scene misunderstand! I think it's quite likely that Ms. Howard herself did it. What do you think?"
Ellinor had her suspicions too.
It's not that she didn’t trust Theo's explanation, or doubted his ability to investigate this minor matter.
But, she couldn’t help but think, what are the odds?
Patricia could have returned earlier or later, but she just happened to return on the day Theo set up a tulip flower field!
And on the day Patricia returned, someone just happened to publicly confess their love on the LED advertisement of the Century Bank building on the Bund to another girl with a similar name!
The kicker is, such a grand confession didn't even use the full name of the person it was meant for!
Who would know which girl it was?
Even the person themselves wouldn't think that the confession was meant for them, right?
Since they chose to confess publicly, they must be the kind of person who likes to flaunt their romantic relationships. If they like to flaunt, why would they be so secretive about the name?
It's contradictory, it didn’t make sense.
As for Theo ending the investigation after finding out that the person being confessed to on the LED advertisement order of the Century Bank building was named Diana, that's normal.
Patricia was his benefactor, and Theo felt grateful to her, he wouldn't doubt her.
No one would maliciously doubt someone who once saved them.
