Ellinor stood up and dashed out of the coffee shop, afraid that Theo would leave if she dallied.
Belinda glanced outside the window and followed suit.
“Theo!”
Theo was about to get into his car when he heard a familiar voice. He paused and turned around.
He saw Ellinor walk briskly over and then casually jump into his arms like a child.
Theo instinctively held her, cradling her securely in his arms, “What brings you here?”
Ellinor hugged his neck tightly, “Waiting for you at home is so boring, so I decided to pick you up from work.”
A hint of warmth appeared in Theo’s eyes, “Pick me up? Aren't you sweet?”
Ellinor laid her head on his shoulder and whispered, “Don’t you like it?”
Theo chuckled, “How could I not like you coming to pick me up? But you’re not supposed to be gallivanting around given your current condition. Just wait for me at home; I promise I won’t go anywhere else after work.”
Ellinor hugged his neck tighter, she said firmly. “What’s wrong with my current condition? I’m just pregnant, not sick! Theo, I’m not fragile. The doctor said moderate activity is good for the baby, so our child will definitely be healthy and strong.”
Theo frowned, He wasn’t trying to limit her activities; he was just worried about her having any accidents outside. Besides, he was also worried that she might be targeted by those who had ill intentions towards the Blanchet Corporation, which could jeopardize her safety.
Theo held her, stroking her hair gently. He decided not to argue with her for now; they could discuss it properly when they got home.
The security guards on the side were taken aback by the scene. They worked at the company for years and had never seen Theo with such a gentle expression. This was definitely an eye-opener.
Theo glanced at them and then said to Collin, “You guys can knock off work now.”
