She could feel his steady heartbeat under her hand, and she was certain he wasn't lying.
Ellinor gave him a puzzled look, "Really? A man in his thirties and never been in a relationship?"
Theo frowned, "I've been too busy."
Ellinor frowned and said, "A man like you without a girlfriend in your thirties, what a waste of your handsome face! You must have been popular when you were young, right? It's a pity that no one has ever had your youth!"
The man asked, "Do I look old now?"
Ellinor looked at him in his suit, mature and manly, actually thought he was still handsome, but decided to tease him a bit, "Well, good enough..."
Theo's face fell, he held her tightly by the waist, leaned in close, "Sure, I'm a bit older, not much experience in love!
Just because I'm older, it doesn't mean I can't keep fit with sports.
And, we can accumulate experience between us, we can slowly 'adapt' to each other, get to 'know' each other, right?
Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."
At the words 'sports', 'adapt' and 'know', emphasized by him, Ellinor's face turned red, "Er... what are you talking about! I don't understand!"
Theo squinted at her blushing face with a glint of amusement in his eyes.
The little girl who was just teasing him now blushing herself?
He chuckled, "It's okay not to understand, tonight I can explain it through practical action, you'll understand perfectly."
