Chapter 558

As Theo approached, Ellinor’s eyes flickered uneasily, “Because I can’t stand the smell of smokel

Theo frowned, leaning in even closer and mockingly blowing a puff of smoke above her head, his tone

dripping with sarcasm, “Don’t like the smell of smoke, huh? Then steer clear of me!”

After saying this, he extinguished his cigarette on the wall behind her and accurately tossed it into a

trash can up ahead.

Since Ellinor had been walking along the roadside wall, she had no choice but to lean back when he

stopped her until she had nowhere else to go.

Now, you could say Ellinor was cornered. She scrunched up her brows, glaring at the man unhappily,

“How am I supposed to get away from you like this? Mr. Blanchet, do me a favor and step aside. I’ll

make sure to keep my distance”

Theo seemingly saw right through her, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits, “Ms. Mendoza, are you

nervous?”

Ellinor was speechless.

He was way too close, beyond what was socially acceptable. Anyone would be nervous!

Theo made no move to back off; his gaze locked onto the girl’s eyes, as if determined to see right

through her.

Their proximity was uncomfortably close, their eyes met, and the tension was palpable.

Theo couldn’t shake the feeling that she didn’t really come off as married. It seemed like she was

hiding something.

“Darling, I get a little jealous when I see you so close to another man at our doorstep!”

Suddenly, a gentle yet reproachful man’s voice came from the other side.

Theo and Ellinor turned their heads almost simultaneously.

It was Chase Larios.

Chase looked at the two of them with a slight smirk on his face, “Mr. Blanchet, would you mind keeping

your distance from my wife? I’m a bit of the jealous type and don’t fancy other men being too close to

my wife!”

Theo’s eyebrows creased. He had just been doubting whether Ellinor was pretending to be married,

and now her husband showed up, seemingly jealous.

His suspicions vanished in an instant.

Theo withdrew his arm from the wall, stood up straight, and moved aside from her.

Finally freed, Ellinor immediately distanced herself from the dangerous man and walked towards

Chase.

Chase, the consummate actor, gently held her shoulders, speaking in a gentle whisper, “Darling, why

did you let Mr. Blanchet walk you home again? You shouldn’t always trouble others; remember to call

me next time, okay?”

Watching Chase’s act, Ellinor couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, but she had to play

along, “Oh, got it! Weren’t you in a meeting? I didn’t want to disturb your work! I bumped into Mr.

Blanchet not far from here. He helped me chase off some thugs, and then we walked back together!”

“Understood Chase’s smile was filled with warmth and consideration. He then looked at the man in the

distance with a stern expression, “Mr. Blanchet, you’re quite the good Samaritan, always so eager to

walk other men’s wives home!”

The statement was a clear territorial claim.

Theo’s complex gaze swept over Ellinor, who was standing next to another man. His icy eyes met

Chase’s, “If you cared about your wife, you would have sent more people to ensure her safety these

past few days and not let her go out to work. Fulfill your duties as a husband!”

“My wife works because it’s her personal preference. I respect her and will fulfill my responsibilities

towards her. Even if I fall short in certain areas, there’s no need for you to fill in for me.”

The atmosphere became noticeably tense.

Theo’s eyes were indifferent and arrogant and a hint of murderous intent seeped through. He sneered,

“If you didn’t leave any gaps, no one would be able to fill in for you!”
