Chapter 397
Ellinor was cringing hard and muttered to Theo beside her, “Theo, this is all your fault! You should’ve
told me we were coming to a birthday party, we can’t just show up empty–handed!”
Theo shrugged, grabbed a grilled kebab from the barbecue stand, tasted it to see if it was cooked, then
handed it to her. “You didn’t even get me a gift on my birthday, why would I let you give one to someone
else first?”
Ellinor took the skewer, feeling helpless.
Theo may seem mature, but he can be so childish sometimes, always nitpicking over small things.
Not long ago, on Theo’s birthday, Ellinor didn’t give him a gift due to some misunderstandings caused
by Patricia’s sudden return to the country.
But she actually did buy him a gift that day while shopping with Belinda Wesley. But after seeing Theo
and Patricia hugging each other at Pearl Moon, she just tossed it away.

Jonah caught it, looked at it, and was flabbergasted, “Theo, are you serious? You’re really giving me
this beauty?”
“Don’t want it?”
Jonah quickly pocketed the car keys, “I do! This is awesome!”
Ellinor watched this unfold, pulled Theo aside, and scolded him, “Theo, it’s someone’s birthday and you
just casually give them a second–hand car, don’t you think that’s a bit reckless? Is this how you treat
your friends?”
Theo gave a slight smile and patted her head, “He doesn’t really lack anything, and this car is a limited
edition, one–of–a–kind model that you can’t buy even if you have the money. He has always wanted
this car, and I’ve never given it to him. I’m only willing to give it away today because of you!
Theo was such a smooth talker. He even said giving a friend a gift was because of her.
But that sports car really was a one–of–a–kind limited edition; you can’t buy it even if you’re loaded.
Theo usually took a business car for traveling; he almost never drove that car, which was pretty much
brand new.
And it was something the birthday boy had always wanted, so even if it was second–hand, it was still a
great gift.
“But, now that you’ve given the car away, how are we going to get home later?” Ellinor asked again..
“You can take me to ride the subway.”
“Theo, do you have any common sense?! This is the suburbs; it takes at least 2 hours to get back to
the city center by subway, and we have to switch lines several times! Most importantly, what if we miss
the last train?”
Ellinor was always accusing him of lacking common sense!
Over at the grill, Jonah was barbecuing chicken wings while eavesdropping on their conversation. He
was first shocked that his friend Theo would actually consider taking the subway, then found Ellinor’s
scolding of Theo quite audacious and amusing, so he chimed in.

“What’s there to worry about? If you really miss the last train, you two can stay overnight here. I have a
guest room with a brand–new comfy bed that’s big enough for both of you!”
Ellinor’s face immediately turned red, and she glared at Jonah, “You can keep it for yourself!”
Theo also gave him a cold look, “Go back to your grilling!”
These two were really hard to deal with
“Theo! Come up for a drink!”
Suddenly, someone called out.
Looking up, they saw a guy on the second–floor terrace of the villa waving down.
They could also see Bartlett Rex and Kemp Larios sitting on the outdoor terrace sofa, with Balfour and
Patricia there too, all looking down at them from above.
Theo, your buddies are calling you!”
