Ellinor blushed at the mention of her being called 'wife.' She immediately sat up and said, "I didn't take a bath last night, so I have to hit the shower now!"
Watching Ellinor rush into the bathroom and lock the door, he chuckled. Then got up and changed.
After Ellinor showered, he went to freshen up. Then they both left the bedroom to grab some breakfast.
However, the presence of an extra person in the dining room made Theo's face turn serious.
Seeing them come down, Marissa said with a smile, "Theo, Ellinor, come, join us for breakfast. I made seafood soup! Ellinor, give it a try and tell me if it's any good."
Ellinor replied with a smile, "Thanks."
Then she politely turned to Putnam, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "Good morning, Putnam."
Putnam, still brooding over yesterday's events, just grunted in response.
Ellinor didn't mind. She was about to sit down when she noticed Theo hadn't followed her.
She turned to look at Theo and saw that his gaze was fixed on Moran, who was sitting next to Veronica.
Marissa also noticed his odd behavior. She glanced at Moran and said, “This is Veronica's tutor. He arrived early today, so I invited him to join us for breakfast.”
Moran stood up courteously and smiled at Ellinor, "Good morning, Ellinor!"
Ellinor returned the smile and said, "Morning."
Then, Moran's gaze turned to Theo. The atmosphere between the two was a little strange.
