Ellinor recently realized that it was useless to argue with a man in bed. So, she didn’t respond and said, “Theo, knock it off! Belinda's waiting for my call! She might be in a crunch; get up! We'll talk about your stuff later.”
The phrase ‘talk later’ could set a man's mind racing.
He didn't want to be a bother at this moment, especially when she was preoccupied with something else. So he got up and let her be for now.
Ellinor got up instantly, found her phone, dashed to the bathroom, locked the door, and then called Belinda back.
If she didn't lock the door, he'd definitely barge in again.
The call connected quickly, and Belinda's voice was cheery, as if she'd been waiting for her call. "What were you up to? I called you loads of times!"
"I left my phone in the bedroom and just went down to grab a bite. What's up? Anything urgent?"
Belinda's voice faltered again, "It's about Chase..."
"Chase?" Ellinor's wandering gaze focused instantly, "Did he mess with you?"
Belinda quickly denied, "No, no! He didn't mess with me... It's just..."
"Spill it!" Ellinor grew impatient, wanting to know what the heck was going on.
She'd just warned Chase to stay away from Belinda; did he just blow it off?
