Chapter 267
“Tomorrow. I have got everything ready,” Theodore replied with a smile.
Elaina frowned. “Tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I’ve prepared for a long time.”
Theodore continued, “Come on! I just feel that my business doesn’t develop well overseas. I want to do something to make my
company prosper.”
“Oh.” Elaina didn’t buy Theodore’s words.
“Ella, if you need help during my absence, go to Andrew. He can help you now,” Theodore said. He was still worried about Elaina.
Elaina nodded with sadness. “Theodore, if you are worried about me, stay. I need your protection.”
Theodore said nothing but smiled. He made himself clear.
Stay? How can I get over you if I see you every day? Theodore thought.
Elaina pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She knew that Theodore had made up his mind.
“I have an operation tomorrow, so I won’t see you off,” Elaina said. She felt it was difficult to say goodbye to Theodore at the airport.
It seemed that they had never parted with each other from little.
This speech shocked Theodore, but he didn’t insist. “Alright, work comes first. I am not a three-year-old kid. I don’t need you to see me
off.”
Elaina didn’t stay any longer because the stay deepened her sadness.
After Elaina left, Andrew complained, “You want Ella to see you off. Why weren’t you honest?”
“She’s upset. I know that.” How can I sadden her? Theodore thought.
“I bought breakfast for you. Do you like some?” Speaking, Jalen walked into the house with breakfast. He could tell that Elaina was in a bad mood. He also knew that Elaina felt sad because of Theodore’s departure.
What Theodore had done in his company recently attracted a lot of attention, so many people knew about his temporary departure.
Jalen felt good about Theodore’s departure. This departure gives both Theodore and Elaina some time. Most importantly, Theodore won’t disturb Elaina and me during this period. Jalen thought.
This thought was selfish, so Jalen would not share it with Elaina.
“Enjoy yourself. I don’t have any appetite.” Speaking, Elaina walked back to the sofa and huddled up in the corner.
Jalen walked over and pulled Elaina up from the sofa. “Theodore is leaving, but is it a big deal?”
“You don’t understand.” Elaina didn’t want to talk to Jalen.
“I don’t understand the relationship between you two. However, I know that Theodore just leaves for the time being. He won’t disappear forever. Do you have to make it a separation between life and death?” Jalen tried to make the case serious to wake Elaina
“He will be back. When he comes back, you are still his little sister. Isn’t that great?”
