Chapter 886
Ellinor snapped back to reality and looked at Theo, “Isn’t that the boy your sister has a crush on? I’m just helping
them out here, didn’t you notice?”
Theo squinted, “Isn’t that just the type of guy you used to go for?”
Ellinor was puzzled, “My type? Theo, how do you know what kind of guy I used to like?”
Theo’s voice grew deep, “You’ve said it yourself before that you like obedient boys. Don’t you remember?”

His action was quite suggestive in public, drawing looks from those around them.

Theo didn’t push her.

About half an hour later, they left the restaurant. Ellinor touched her stomach, “I’m full! Theo, let’s not get in the
car right away; let’s take a walk.”

After exiting the shopping mall, Theo led her into a quiet street where there weren’t so many cars and exhaust
fumes; it was perfect for a walk.
The two leisurely strolled, occasionally chatting, and they soon saw a primary school ahead during its dismissal
time.
Veronica was with Moran at the school gate, distributing leaflets to the parents picking up their kids.
Veronica, a girl who had been pampered and lived a privileged life since childhood, had never experienced this kind
of grassroots work.
When a parent impatiently refused the leaflets che handed out she turned hoot-rod with anger but had to hold back
