"Can we be as intimate as before?" Elaina muttered to herself in a low voice and even mocked herself.
However, Theodore frowned. "Of course, unless you don't want to treat me as your brother."
"Of course, I do." However, as soon as she thought of Theodore loving her, Elaina could not pretend that nothing had happened. She even wanted to escape.
Theodore got close to her, put his hands on her shoulder, and said, "Ella, I know that it happened suddenly, and you can't accept it for a while, but you have to believe that my only wish is for you to be happy."
As long as Elaina was happy, Theodore could hide his love for her.
"I got it." Elaina nodded in a daze and sat up from the sofa. "I'll go back first."
Theodore said, "I'll give you a ride."
However, Elaina immediately shook her head at him and said, "No, I can go back by myself."
"Ella..." Theodore could not feel at ease.
