Chapter 1378

Theo looked a bit surprised. “How can I deserve you if I don’t tackle this problem?”

Ellinor knitted her eyebrows. Her tone became serious as she clearly expressed her opinion. “The problem must be

resolved, but there’s no need to rush. You can wait until after I give birth.”

Theo saw the worry in Ellinor’s eyes and squinted a bit, pretending not to understand. “Oh? Why’s that?”

Ellinor lowered her eyebrows, feeling a bit embarrassed as she voiced her concerns. “If something happens to you,

I might go into labor at any moment, and I won’t be able to help you…”

Theo gazed deeply at Ellinor beside him as warmth radiated from his eyes. He had always been a self-reliant man;

he had been solving his problems on his own since childhood. Everyone around him depended on him, and he had

never experienced the feeling of being protected by someone else.

His parents had split up due to marital issues in their early years and went their separate ways, neither thinking

about taking him, the product of their marriage, with them.

As a child, his elders constantly reminded him of his heavy responsibilities. He couldn’t cry or show weakness. He

had to be strong to shoulder the responsibilities of the Blanchet family.

Even when he broke a bone as a kid, no one at home would help him.

They’d tell him, “If you can’t even handle these little bumps and bruises, how can you stand on your own or lead

the family in the future?”

Then they’d demand that he bear the pain and stand up on his own.

This was the first time he felt unconditional protection from someone else, a woman who sincerely wanted to

protect him.

It sounded ridiculous, but it was heartwarming..

He was truly lucky to have randomly bumped into such a gem of a woman that day at the coffee shop.

Theo gently pursed his lips, raising his hand to touch her face, but stopped just as he was about to touch Ellinor.

“I don’t have the right to touch you now. After I solve my problems, can I hold you?”

Ellinor frowned, remaining silent.

Even if he held her now, what could she do?

Hadn’t he always held her first and asked questions later? Why was he suddenly so polite today?

Theo spoke again, “If I don’t go to M. State to sort things out, who knows what extremes Sophia’s father might go

to? So, I can’t delay any longer.

I promise to be back in three days. I consulted a doctor, who said that at the earliest, you still have a week until

your due date. By then, I’ll be by your side, accompanying you into the delivery room to welcome our child.”

Ellinor still didn’t want him to go, continuing to knit her eyebrows. “Are you sure you can solve everything in three

days? You didn’t manage to do it that. quickly before, so can you do it now?”

Theo patiently responded, “I’ve already spoken to Sophia’s father on the phone. He agreed to meet. Ellinor, I never

break my promises. Won’t you trust me one more time?”

Ellinor did not doubt Theo. He definitely planned to return in three days.

What she worried about was that the situation with Sophia and her father might not be that simple. Had they set a

trap and were just waiting for him to

walk into it?

After all, M State was their turf. Although the Blanchet family also had influence there, it was nowhere near as

strong as the influence of those who had lived there for years.
