Ellinor blinked, "I have no regrets!"
Theo chuckled lightly, "Are you sure about that? If I hadn't been there, would you have agreed to meet with that young fellow?"
Ellinor sipped her water thoughtfully. She blushed and nodded, "Yeah, I guess I would have!"
Theo's expression darkened, "At least you have the guts to admit it!"
Ellinor looked at him with clear eyes and was unfazed.
"Yep, I kinda wanted to meet Halley, but not for a date or anything. I just wanted to meet my idol and maybe get his autograph!"
Theo went silent and drank half a bottle of water, keeping his usual poker face.
Ellinor looked at his stern profile. Was he jealous?
She pondered for a moment and asked with a frown, "Didn't you have idols when you were a kid? You know, that innocent admiration and nothing else?"
Theo's eyes turned cold, "I didn't have a childhood."
He recalled the time at the Mountain Racecourse when Ellinor fell off the cliff and he went to rescue her.
They chatted at the bottom of the cliff, and Ellinor mentioned her idol, telling him with a longing look.
"The man I loved when I was eighteen was named Halley. I loved his songs and even imagined marrying him one day."
Her heart suddenly felt a pang of sadness. When she thought of all this, she apologized to Theo and explained obediently, "I just admire Halley's work and his voice, not him! If this upsets you, I won't admire him anymore!"
The icy look on Theo's face returned to normal within a second. He even seemed a bit surprised. He turned his head and looked at her incredulously, "Are you bullshitting me?"
Ellinor knew Theo was upset because he was jealous. It was a bit awkward, but it also showed his cute side. This trait, combined with his mature personality, created a surprising contrast.
She squinted her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "Do you have any finished works?"
Theo raised an eyebrow, "My works?"
Ellinor's eyes sparkled, "Yeah! You're so talented; I bet you have made tons of masterpieces in your free time! Can I see them? Maybe I'll be smitten by your talent and fall head over heels for you!"
