His serious gaze was like he was looking at a careless kid as he grumbled, "You've still got foam in your hair."
Ellinor froze, remembering how she had dozed off in the bathtub while shampooing her hair and fell asleep without rinsing.
She rolled her eyes and retorted, "How am I supposed to wash with you here?"
Without wasting his breath, Theo grabbed the shower head and commanded, "Close your eyes."
Ellinor was taken aback. Why did he want her to close her eyes? Was he going to wash her hair? Was he that caring?
"What are you waiting for? Close your eyes!" He ordered.
Ellinor was peeved after being commanded like this. She pouted but obediently closed her eyes.
Whatever, she would hold her tongue and avoid arguing with him.
Otherwise, he might snatch her bath towel again!
After seeing her obediently close her eyes, he checked the water temperature before lifting the shower head over her head and letting warm water rinse her hair.
His other hand gently and patiently combed through her hair, washing away the hidden foam.
He didn't know if it was because she was pregnant, but she seemed more scatterbrained and less alert than before.
Theo didn't trust Ellinor to bathe alone after seeing her act so ditsy.
He had come in while she was bathing, not to peep, but because she had been in the bathroom for a long time without any response, so he used the key to check on her.
Considering she was pregnant and so absent-minded, he was worried she might slip and fall, which could be serious.
