He asked that, clearly having done his homework on the matter.
Ellinor pursed her lips, answering truthfully, "That day at the hospital, Balfour’s blood type just happened to match that of a car accident victim. Seeing the poor little girl of the victim, I wanted Balfour to donate some blood, but he insisted I get an abortion in return. In desperation, I agreed."
Theo snorted, "Tell me, kind-hearted Ms. Mendoza, did you think to ask me before deciding to abort my kid?"
Ellinor furrowed her brows, "... What are you talking about? Your kid! Mr. Blanchet, you are mistaken, my baby has nothing to do with you!"
"Turn around and look me in the eye when you say that!" His tone hardened.
Taking a deep breath, Ellinor adjusted her emotions, turned her face, widened her eyes at him, and reiterated, "… she said again, my child has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing her like this, Theo’s frown deepened, he glared coldly at her, "Alright, let’s say it's not mine! Ms. Mendoza, you and your husband are so in love, how could you bear to have an abortion?"
Ellinor looked a bit lost, she stuttered, "Because we decided not to have a kid, and planned for the abortion…"
Before she could finish, she was suddenly pinched by the man's fingers on her chin, "You continue to tell lies!"
Ellinor blinked, looking out the window, "I'm not lying…"
She had to keep it up, but she felt so childish, so foolish!
In front of Theo, why couldn't she always keep calm, acting like a passive fool every time! She's so angry!
Theo stared at her for a while, then he released her chin, and coldly tossed an envelope at her, "Take a look?"
