Chapter 1377

“Why the heck is he here?”

She asked Balfour, who was beside her, in a somewhat disgruntled tone, blaming him for not letting her know in advance that Theo would be there.

Theo slowly got up and came over, pulling out a chair for her himself. “You wish I’d never come back, don’t you?”

Ellinor snorted, “Do I even have a say in your travel plans?”

Theo didn’t rush to make excuses; he simply pointed to the chair he had pulled out with his chin. “Sit.”
