Chapter 198

Janah looked at Bryan with a grin and said, “Bryan, did you catch that? Theo wants another treat from you!”

Byran's gaze was focused on Elinor Startled out of his reverie by Jonah, he stammered. “Uh, Theo, my bank card has been frozen by my bro. I blew my secret stash on the feast yesterday I'm broke today, I can't host another dinner

Theo, expressionless, gave a slight nod, saying “No worries, she’s picking up the tab today”

Who? Elinor realized he meant her and instantly frowned, looking unhappy

Why should she treat these people? She barely knew them!

Plus, she was just a plus one that Theo brought along, right?

All eyes fell on today’s host, Elinor...

Embarrassed, she quickly turned away.

After a brief pause, Theo smiled and gently ruffled her hair. "Hmm, Ms. Mendoza makes a good point. Save your money for what you want, and use mine however you please Is that okay?" Seeing that Theo didn't tease her, Elinor breathed a sigh of relief. She beamed, “Theo, don't worry! I won't be shy about spending!”

A gentle smile played on Theo's lips as he watched her, his gaze softening

Not too far away, Haillie watched Theo and Elinor's interaction with displeasure. She found their coziness irritating

She'd never seen Theo so attentive to a woman, listening so patiently as if making concessions. This wasn't the Theo she knew!

After a moment of thought, Haillie put on a friendly smile and walked over, saying, “Elinor, I didn't notice you were here too. Is this your first time riding?”

Elinor turned to look at Haillie; her feelings towards this woman were tainted because of the watch incident.

“No, I've ridden a few times before.”

“Really? Haillie said, forcing a smile but thinking that Elinor was just putting on a brave face. How could a girl with her background have had the chance to ride horses?

“Well, that's even better. We can have a little race later”
