Chapter 1154
Elena could hardly sit still any longer. She suddenly got up and said, "Mr. Grant, I'll leave the papers here for you.
| still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first.”
Having said that, she took her bag and left with a sullen expression.
| looked at Theo with a speechless face. He was definitely doing this on purpose.
With that said, | was genuinely impressed b y Elena's patience.
From the moment we walked in, she had been keeping a smile on her face with great fortitude.
It turned out that one could tolerate to such an extent for one's crush.
| was not in the mood to eat anymore, so | put down the cutleries in my hands and looked at Theo. | said, "If you
don't like her, then tell her directly, Mr. Grant. What you're doing will hurt her."
"I've never been a gentleman anyway."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo spoke, his pitch-black eyes staring at me. "Besides, I'm a married man. Not going near any married man is
an act of morality she should abide by as a woman. | don't think | need to make that clear to her."
| was flustered by his gaze and blurted out," We've divorced. You're single now. Besides, everyone likes an
outstanding person, so it's understandable why she likes you."
Theo sneered. "If I'm that outstanding, then why do you want to let go of me?"
In terms of eloquence, few people could beat Theo.
Not wanting to waste my breath talking to him, | got up and said, "You're indeed outstanding, but that doesn't
mean we're compatible."
He got up afterand looked indifferently at me. "What do you mean by compatible, then?"
I had a feeling that he was deliberately seeking trouble, so | decided to bid farewell. "Since Ms. Mandez has left, |
don't think there's anything left for us to discuss. I'll be going back now."
After saying that, | planned to leave.
However, Theo refused to letleave and grabbed my arm.
My heart was in slight turmoil, but on the surface, | remained calm. | looked up at him and asked, "What's the
meaning of this, Mr. Grant?”
Theo raised his eyebrows. "I was the one taking care of you from the moment you fell into the pit in the resort up
until you were discharged yesterday.”
He bent closer toand said with a slight smile, "Even if I'm a stranger to you, I've made sacrifices and taken
great pain to save you and take care of you. You should a t least thank me, if not promise to marry me.”
| felt a gush of pressure and swallowed my saliva. | said a little nervously, "Thank you."
Theo chuckled. "Your 'thank you' sounds so insincere."
He had mesmerizing eyebrows and had always been handsome. He was even more charming now that he was
smiling.
| pursed my lips. "How do you wantto thank you?"

taken care of m e in the hospital for two days. | could not be ungrateful.
Ill have to think carefully about that,” Theo said while forcingback against the wall.
| was pinned between his body and the wall, unable to avoid or escape.
"If you're serious about thanking me, then stay here from tomorrow onward and take care of my meals. | don't
think this request i s too much to ask for. After all, that's what you're doing next door, isn't it?" His voice was low
and attractive, carrying an enchanting aura.
| frowned, refusing even without thinking." Theo, | take care of Jordan's meals every day because | receive a
salary for it. That's my job."
In other words, he was askingto take care of his meals without paying me? That was not how people repaid
kindness.
