Anyway, since she got the ointment now, there was no reason not to use it.
"Thank you."
She expressed her thanks lightly, not probing into how he found out about her burn.
Opening the ointment, she applied it to her aching palm while saying, "All in all, I didn't hurt that kid. It was the waiter's mistake at the restaurant!"
At this moment, Theo's deep eyes seemed to lose focus. Through the smoky haze, his expression was hard to make out as he looked at her, "Did I ask you that?"
Ellinor frowned, "So, you didn’t call me over just to give me some burn ointment, did you?"
Theo didn't answer, squinting at her burned hand and the shiny diamond ring on her ring finger with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Ms. Mendoza, you're remarried now and still wearing the wedding ring I gave you?"
Ellinor fell silent.
"Remarried" was a misnomer. She had only collaborated with him before and it was not a real marriage.
Moreover, she didn't even like the diamond ring on her ring finger.
"I wish I could take it off, but I can't remove this custom ring! If you'd like, Mr. Blanchet, you could give me some special solution to take it off right now and I would happily give it back to you. So you can give it to your future wife."
Theo looked at her coldly and his eyes were dark as he said lightly, "No need. My future wife doesn't need hand-me-downs."
Ellinor was startled, then frowned.
His future wife didn't need hand-me-downs?
