Chapter 314
Ellinor got Theo’s drift.
“Oh, Mr. Quinne was a senior from our university’s law department. He is warm–hearted. We owe our
problem–solving this time to him.”
“Warm–hearted?” Theo snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, gazing at her, “He’s quite a hard man to
please in Greenhaven, yet he’s willing to help you. You guys must be pretty close, huh?”
Theo was clearly questioning her.
Ellinor didn’t feel like explaining
She couldn’t find a reasonable explanation at the moment, and she also didn’t want to expose her other
identity.
The more words, the more mistakes. So she chose to keep quiet.
Just then, Belinda popped up, holding a small bucket, dipping a grapefruit leaf into the water and

Before Ellinor could react, she was splashed with water, choking and coughing….
Seeing this. Theo frowned, pulling Ellinor into his arms and wrapping her in his coat, “What the hell are
you doing?”
Belinda looked innocent, “I’m just trying to get rid of Ellinor’s bad luck!”
Theo scowled, cradling Ellinor like a small animal, wiping the water off her forehead, “Looks like you’re
the unlucky one here. Get that stuff away from her and stay back!”
Theo was pissed, and Belinda, scared, quickly stepped back, but still defended herself, “How could you
say that about me? I came especially to pick up Ellinor, even searched online for ways to get rid of bad
luck, and bought these grapefruit leaves and special bad–luck–removing water!”
“She’s allergic, just got out of the hospital, and you want her back there?” Theo’s face turned even
darker.
Belinda paused, finally understanding why Theo was so tense, and said guiltily, “Ah! I forgot! Sorry!”
“Don’t touch her with mystery stuff ever again!”
Belinda knew she was in the wrong and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry! I got it! Ellinor, are you
okay?”
Ellinor couldn’t help laughing, then snuggled her face into Theo’s chest, wiping off the water droplets
with his shirt.
Even though Theo was displeased, he let her mess around in his arms.
“What are you laughing at, Ellinor?” Belinda was confused.
“I’m laughing at your cuteness!” As Ellinor said this, she broke free from Theo’s arms, walked up to
Belinda, and patted her shoulders, “Belinda, thanks! I really should get rid of the bad luck. Things
haven’t been going too well, especially since I met Theo!”
Hearing this, Belinda felt smug. “Theo, did you hear that? Ellinor said you brought her bad luck, not
me!”
Theo was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two girls chatted and occasionally laughed, completely ignoring Theo.
The man’s face was cold. He stared at Ellinor, straightened out his shirt that she had intentionally
wrinkled, rubbed his forehead helplessly, then lit a cigarette.
“Theo, are you here to pick up Ellinor?”
Patricia came over, her voice sweet and soft.
She was just asking Haillie about the situation with Balfour, so she just got out of the police station..
As soon as she came out, she saw Theo standing at the door, so she ran over…
Seeing Patricia approaching, Belinda’s smile disappeared instantly. She snorted, saying unhappily.
“The most annoying person is here again!”
Ellinor silently watched Patricia, then glanced at Theo’s gentle expression, and looked away….
Balfour helplessly stood not far from a luxury car, waiting for his sister.
Patricia was so lucky. There was Balfour who loved her unconditionally. He had treated her like a
treasure since childhood, and she didn’t have to worry about anything, and whenever there’s a
problem, she just hid behind Balfour.
