The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513 

“Alright, I’ll hitch a ride with Mr. Blanchet.” 

She headed towards the fancy Mercedes. Collin had already beat her to it and opened the backseat door for her. 

Once inside, Ellinor was hit by a strong smell of smoke that lingered in the car. 

Theo was smoking, and even with the windows down, the smoke didn’t immediately clear. 

His recent smoking addiction seemed to have worsened and he was even continuously puffing away back at Pearl Moon. 

Considering the baby inside her, Ellinor felt uncomfortable in the smoke-filled car. 

But, after all, it was not her car, so she had no right to complain. All she could do was roll down her window to let the smoke out and politely said, “Thanks for the lift, Mr. Blanchet. You can drop me off at the freeway exit, I can catch a cab home from there” 

Theo was lounging, cigarette in hand, glancing at her. 

His mature and deep face was inscrutable. After a while, he let out a cold chuckle. 

Ellinor felt uncomfortable under his gaze, not understanding the meaning behind his chuckle. 

What was he laughing at? Was there something funny about what she just said? 

After a while, he finally asked her, “Where have you been?” 

“What?” 

Ellinor was a bit surprised, not immediately understanding his sudden question. 

Theo glanced at her, authoritatively saying, “I asked you, where have you been for over a month?” 

Ellinor blinked embarrassingly. “Oh, nowhere in particular, just hanging around.” 

Theo squinted, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke, his sarcastic tone revealing a suppressed emotion, “Hanging around? Your version of hanging around is quite careful, you left no trace. Did you not want me to find you?” 

Ellinor said casually, “I just like to protect my privacy. Is there something you wanted, Mr. Blanchet?” 

Theo looked at her nonchalant demeanor, quite displeased, wishing he could just strangle this cold-hearted woman. 

Theo frowned, “You said I wanted something?” 

Ellinor turned her face away from him, casually looking out the window, “I wouldn’t know, Mr. Blanchet, you’re such a mysterious man, I can’t figure you out!” 

Theo reached out a hand and gripped her chin, forcibly turning her face towards him.
