Chapter 1565

Ellinor saw his intention and gave the wheelchair a purposeful kick, sending it rolling perfectly to a stop right in front of the man.

Marcus glanced at the wheelchair and raised his eyes to meet Ellinor’s, uttering a subdued “thanks.”

He then moved himself onto the wheelchair, inch by inch, maneuvering it towards her. He reached out for the water bottle on the small balcony table, a bottle both of them had sipped from, and opened it to drink.

Ellinor was busy with her smartphone. She was sending messages, but her peripheral vision caught Marcus taking a drink. She lifted her eyes briefly to watch him, then lowered them again to continue texting.

“Ellinor, you seem to actually fancy me, don’t you?” Marcus suddenly said.

Ellinor paused her texting, didn’t lift her eyes this time, and candidly replied, “Yes, I do fancy you. Is there a problem with that?”

Marcus was taken aback by her straightforward and honest answer. “I thought you would hate me more by now.”

Ellinor snorted dismissively. “I do hate you, too. These two feelings aren’t mutually exclusive.”
