Ellinor stared at him, her eyelashes fluttering and her mind suddenly in turmoil.
The usually articulate girl was at a loss for words.
"Mr. Blanchet, get out!"
She just wanted him gone, pointing at the bathroom door.
Because of her aggravated pointing, his gaze dropped, and his eyes slightly squinted.
His mischievous look was just like a cunning wolf’s.
Suddenly, Ellinor realized she had forgotten to cover her chest, causing her to shriek in embarrassment, curl herself up, and tightly hug her knees.
"Theo Blanchet, you're such a jerk!"
It was rare for her to call him by his full name, so she must have been really pissed off.
But he just laughed, amused by her flustered and angry expression.
He raised his hand, gently pinched her chin with his rough fingers, and lifted up her blushing face, "I prefer it when you call me Theo."
Both embarrassed and indignant, her skin felt burning hot, and her smooth shoulders were very soft.
With no clothes to hide behind, she had no escape and could only try to compromise, "...Alright, can you please go out first? Let me get dressed before we talk!"
He remained unmoved, still holding her chin and gently rubbing it, "You even fall asleep while bathing; you didn't even notice when I came in.
When you were living with Mr. Larios, were you this careless too? Unaware that someone could see all of you?"
Damn it, he really knew how to push her buttons.
Ellinor was nearly in tears from frustration, "Can't you be a little less obnoxious?!"
After seeing her scrunch up her face in anger, he couldn't bear to tease her any longer, so he reached out his long arm, grabbed a towel, and tossed it into the tub for her.
The towel was soaked by the water and floated on the surface of the bathwater.
Ellinor quickly grabbed the towel and wrapped it around herself. Now that she was completely covered, she could finally feel somewhat secure, no longer as exposed as before.
After wrapping herself up, she tried to get out of the bathtub, but before she could, his big hand pushed her back down.
She looked up at him in dissatisfaction, "Why won't you let me out?"
