Chapter 771
“So, if you ever need help with anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, not him, okay, Ms. Howard?”
Ellinor’s voice was gentle, and her words left no room for objection.
At the same time, she kindly took Patricia’s hand and personally slipped the bracelet onto her wrist. “Just like that,
Ms. Howard. If you ever need help with anything, come to me. We’re both women, it’s much easier for you to ask
for my help than his.”
Ellinor had forced Patricia to accept not only the bracelet but also this seemingly considerate arrangement.
Who would have thought that Ellinor would play this card, effectively cutting off any chance for Patricia to contact
Theo privately.

After all that talking, Ellinor was tired. After she put on the bracelet for Patricia, she lazily stretched, “Let’s go, Theo.
I’m tired. Let’s go home and sleep”
Theo agreed with a smile. He had been quietly enjoying his partner’s balanced mix of grace and assertiveness. It
was simply adorable.
In his nearly thirty years of life, this was the first time someone had stood up for him and fought for his rights, with
a hint of possessiveness towards
him.
He had to admit, he enjoyed the process; hence, he hadn’t interrupted.
Everything Ellinor had said made sense; her arrangements were appropriate, and Theo felt good about it.
Before leaving, he said to Patricia, “Ms. Howard, I’m married now, so it’s not really appropriate for us to keep in
touch privately. Don’t worry, I’ll find the best nanny in the world to help you with the child.
If you have any problems in the future, please go directly to my wife. Collin will assist her in resolving any issues you
have. If there’s anything they can’t handle, my wife will let me know.”
Patricia’s heart was shattered, “Theo…”
Theo didn’t give her a chance to say anything else. He had already turned around to follow Ellinor, gently taking her
hand and wrapping it tenderly in his
own.
Patricia stood there alone, watching Theo and Ellinor leave. Jonah and Kemp exchanged glances, knowing they
should not interfere in this love triangle.

Jonah changed the subject with a laugh. “Kemp, now that Theo, who’s tightly controlled by his wife, has left. Let’s
have a few more drinks!”
Bartlett also took his eyes off Ellinor, smiling and nodding in agreement. He was ready to join them back at the bar
when Patricia suddenly called out to
him.
“Bartlett!”
Bartlett stopped, “Hmm? What’s up, Patri?”
Patricia said seriously. “I have something to tell you. Can we talk in private?”
Bartlett was slightly puzzled, but he nodded gently, “Sure.”
So they both headed to the terrace.
“Patri, what did you want to talk about?” Bartlett asked.
