Chapter 36

Theo kept a poker face. “Maybe it wasn't

necessary before, but during our marriage it was. I won't allow my reputation to be tarnished. So, any t Ellinor rolled her eyes, turned her gaze to the street view outside the car window, and let out a sarcastic to? Aren't you also secretly meeting other women in public?”

Theo looked deeply at her. “Are you jealous?”

Ellinor seemed confused and pulled a grimace. “Jealous? We aren't really husband and wife! I'm pissed Theo lightly raised his eyebrows. “If I recall correctly, you didn't give me any notice the

last time you kissed me.”

Ellinor was momentarily speechless and her brows furrowed. “Cough! That's different, isn't it? I just pecl Theo smiled slightly. “Didn't do what?"

His playful tone made Ellinor blush, and she shut up in annoyance, saying, “Nothing!”

be a bland kiss and they would never cross paths again.

reading quickly. He then casually asked, “Do you need me to go with you?"

Ellinor shook her head. “Just some family matters; there's no need to bother you."

terrible. She turned on her computer and logged into her game.

Ellinor typed back, “Did you need something?”
