Even though Ellinor was no longer a little girl, she still blushed a deep crimson and punched him in the chest. "Can't you have some decency?"
Theo chuckled. "Why bother with decency in front of you?"
Ellinor's lashes fluttered as she pushed his chest. “Stop messing around! Don’t make me worry about you."
Theo raised his eyebrow. "Worry about what?"
Ellinor was a bit shy to say it out loud. "Your leg just recovered recently; it's... it's better not to do strenuous exercise."
Theo squinted his narrow, handsome eyes as his slender fingers brushed away the stray hair on her forehead. "Don't you want me?"
Ellinor, being a normal woman, admitted reluctantly. "Yes, but we have all the time in the world."
The man stared at her for a while, and in the end, he didn't tease her any further. He moved over, lay down next to her, and held her small hand as their fingers interlocked tightly.
"Alright, we have all the time in the world."
At dinner, the Blanchet Villa was filled with long-lost warmth and cheerfulness. Moran, as a future son-in-law, stayed for the family dinner.
No one knew that outside the Blanchet Villa, in a black sedan, was Sophia with a twisted expression.
...
At night, Theo was busy in his study until late before he returned to his room. Ellinor had already put their four children to bed.
Thankfully, the bed was big enough, or else it would not have accommodated her and the four children.
Theo came to the bedside, bent over to cover the children with the blanket they had kicked off, then sat on the edge of the bed. He watched Ellinor, who was sound asleep, and gently stroked her cheek.
The past three years must have been tough on her.
He had so much to make up for.
Perhaps sensing Theo's presence, Ellinor furrowed her brow, opened her eyes, and looked at him with a tired gaze. "Have you finished your work?"
