Chapter 301:

Taken aback by Theo’s demeanor, Elyse found herself at a loss for words. “What’s going on with you? I haven’t done anything to warrant this. Can you stop acting like I’ve hurt you?” Theo nodded. “Fine.” His words were accompanied by a cautious scrutiny of her expression, fearing her reaction.

Alert, Elyse turned back to see a figure clad in black wielding a camera and snapping pictures frantically. “Stop!” She dashed after him in haste. Realizing he had been caught, the paparazzo swiftly stashed his camera and made a quick escape.
