"What are you thinking about?"
Ellinor snapped back to reality when Theo playfully tapped her nose.
Bending down to her level as she sat on the bed, Theo said in a gentle tone, "The BBQ got burnt 'cause no one was watching. I had someone make you a new one, and it'll be here soon."
Ellinor wasn't really bothered about the BBQ anymore. The grilled chicken wings that Byran brought her were enough to fill her up.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she raised an eyebrow, "Theo, are you keeping some personal issues from me?"
Theo paused for a moment, then squatted down in front of her, looking earnestly into her eyes, shaking his head, "No."
"That's good then!" Ellinor didn't push further.
She didn't really take Patricia's words seriously; if it weren't for Patricia's weird smile, she would've forgotten about the rumor of Theo and Patricia having a child.
Having spent over two months with Theo, she may not know much, but she trusted him. Theo was not the kind of guy to shirk responsibility.
And Patricia, always playing the moral high ground, if she really had a kid with Theo, she would've used it to manipulate the Blanchet family by now; she wouldn't be keeping it a secret.
"Why're you asking all of a sudden?"
"No reason, just curious! By the way, Theo, Byran's grilled wings are good; wanna try?"
Saying so, she picked up a wing from the plate on the bedside table and held it to Theo's mouth.
Theo chuckled, taking a bite, "Mmm, it's good. Eat up; we'll head home once you're done."
"Okay." Ellinor nodded.
"Eat up." Theo ruffled her hair, feeling a pang of affection.
