After leaving the bedroom, Theo glanced at his watch and said to Devin, who was not far away, "Don't disturb her now. If she hasn't gotten up for breakfast by ten, then wake her up."
Devin nodded respectfully, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ellinor."
"Good."
He agreed, then started walking towards the stairs. He stopped at the top of the stairs and added, "Don't let her eat too many snacks."
Devin was taken aback by Theo's meticulousness, then responded, "Alright, got it."
Even though he hadn't left yet, he was already missing her.
He'd never missed anyone like this before, so this must be what it felt like to be in love.
When he returned from his last business trip, she had disappeared, which had left a deep shadow in his heart that even turned into some sort of heart disease.
He took one last lingering look at the bedroom door but seemed a bit uneasy. After a while, he finally walked down the stairs.
...
After Theo left, Veronica Blanchet, who was hiding in the corner, came out with a sour face.
She had seen everything. Theo had instructed Devin on how to take care of Ellinor before leaving. He was so good to her!
She really didn't understand why Theo cared so much about Ellinor. Ellinor was just a country girl; how could she compare to a high-class girl like Patricia?
Veronica and Ellinor had never gotten along. She hoped that Theo would marry Patricia. Now that Theo wasn't home, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to mess with Ellinor?
