Chapter 1287
Theo didn’t even glance at her. A cigarette hung from his mouth as he spoke, “Alright, get in”
A smirk flickered in Sophia’s eyes She then circled to the other side of the car and took a seat next to Theo.
Once Sophia was in the car, Theo slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and gave a slight nod to the driver, a signal for
him to start driving
The car started to move at a steady pace.
Sophia looked out at the passing street scene, then turned her head to Theo with a flirtatious look in her eyes.
Theo, you seem a bit out of it. Did you have another row with Ellinor?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo didn’t answer. He asked her coldly. “Where are you headed? Back to the hotel or the party venue?”
Sophia thought for a moment. “Tell the driver to take me back to the hotel. The party is almost over anyway, it’s
pointless going back. I’ll just ring up Jonah and the others to make sure the guests are taken care of.”
Theo grunted in response, giving the driver a look through the rear-view mirror,
The driver made a turn and started heading towards Sophia’s hotel.
Sophia didn’t stop pressing. “Theo, you haven’t answered my question. Is Ellinor still refusing to forgive you?”
Theo stubbed out his cigarette. “Enough about her.”
Sophia feigned a sigh. “Ah, seems like Ellinor’s misunderstanding about you is still deep. You treat her so well, so she
should trust you. Why wouldn’t she trust you?”
Theo let out a sarcastic chuckle but didn’t say a word.
Sophia tried to engage him a few more times, but when there was no response, she wisely quieted down.
She was afraid Theo would get annoyed if she kept pushing.
After about twenty minutes on the road, the car pulled up in front of Sophia’s hotel.
The driver parked the car and turned around. “Ms. Sophia, we’re here.”
Sophia smiled and nodded, then got out of the car. Before closing the door, she leaned back in. “Theo, you seem
upset. You probably won’t sleep well when you get home. Why don’t you come up to my place for a bit? You want to
have a drink with me?”

He tried calling Ellinor, but her phone was switched off.
He was filled with anxiety; he felt like he was about to explode.
Then the door suddenly swung open.
Byran looked like he had just woken up and was surprised to see Bartlett. “Bartlett, what brings you here?”
As soon as the door opened, Bartlett walked in without explaining. He frantically looked around the house. “Byran, is
Ellinor home?”
There was no sign of Ellinor in the house.
Oh crap!
Upon hearing that Ellinor hadn’t returned, Bartlett grew even more anxious.
Byran asked. “Didn’t Ellinor go to the banquet?”
“She did, but she left early! She should’ve been home by now!”
