"Whoa, really?"
"Ellinor, you're a lifesaver!"
"Ellinor, you're such a big spender!"
Ellinor's eyes were wide as saucers, a mix of shock and annoyance as she stared at Theo.
Holy moly! Who said anything about footing the bill? It's a given in any class reunion that everyone paid their way! There were over a hundred classmates here eating and drinking. Did he have any idea how much that would cost?
Seeing her scrunched-up face, Theo's lips curved up. He pulled back his hand that had been resting on her head, shoved his hand into his pocket, and sauntered out the door with grace.
After Theo left, the classmates started to admire the generous Ellinor. The girls huddled around her, asking about the handsome parent, and Ellinor casually dismissed them.
On the other hand, the boys, didn't dare to approach her. After all, her rich parent was in the next room. They didn't have the guts to face him.
Once she managed to wriggle her way out of the girl's questions, Ellinor sat down huffily, took out her phone and texted Theo: "Do you have any idea how unreasonable you're being?"
About half a minute later, Theo responded calmly: "What did I do?"
Ellinor gritted her teeth, "What was that all about? It was totally out of the blue!"
After a moment, Theo replied: "Just taking some precautions to ensure no one gets any ideas. Wouldn't want to end up a cuckold."
Ellinor immediately sent back an eye-rolling emoji!
Meanwhile, in the other room.
