Jalen leaned back in his chair and smiled brightly, “I’m really curious. If Ella knew what you were thinking about her, would she still take you as her brother?”
Jalen was threatening Theodore, but Theodore was not angry. Instead, he asked Jalen,
“Mr. Halton, do you feel that your relationship with Ella is better than mine? Do you think she will believe you if you tell her?”
Jalen did not speak, but he knew very well that Elaina would believe in Theodore.
“Mr. Murphy, if you are willing to maintain a sibling relationship with Ella, I won’t say anything,” Jalen said.
“No matter what my relationship with Ella is, I won’t let you be with her!” Theodore snorted.
Just as Jalen and Theodore were arguing, the door to the study upstairs opened, andElaina and Andrew walked out.
“Theodore?”
Elaina was the first to notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the living room.
She looked at Jalen and Theodore in confusion.
When Theodore heard Elaina’s voice, Theodore’s gaze instantly softened. He turned around and looked at Elaina. “Ella, are you done with the restoration?”
“Yes. I’ve already sent the video to Captain Russett.” Elaina nodded. She walked to the living room.
“That’s good.” Theodore heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he said, “Will you stay for lunch? I will cook for us.”
“Sure,” Elaina said with a smile. “It’s been a long time since the last time I had a meal cooked by you.”
“Then I’ll go to the grocery store and buy some food. Do you want to go with me?”
Theodore invited Elaina in front of Jalen. Theodore wanted to prove to Jalen that Ella would always Believe him.
Jalen was silent. He looked at Elaina’s smiling face and then at Theodore. Jalen really felt that Theodore was a scheming man who was not easy to deal with.
Elaina was about to go out with Theodore. But when she saw Jalen standing at the side, She hesitated and said, “Mr. Halton, you…”
“I also want to have a taste of Mr. Murphy’s cooking. But I’m not sure whether I can stay.”
As Jalen spoke, he deliberately revealed his scalded arm, and his face even turned a little pale.
Theodore gritted his teeth and felt annoyed, but Elaina looked apologetic. She looked at Theodore.
“Theodore…”
“Mr. Halton saved my sister, so I should treat you to this meal,” Theodore said with a smile. Meanwhile, he suppressed the anger in his heart. “Mr. Halton, please wait at home. Ella and I will go buy groceries.”
“Let’s go together.” Jalen would never let Elaina and Theodore be alone with each other.
He didn’t want to give Theodore any chance.
Theodore pursed his lips, clearly unable to hold back his anger.
But Elaina was right beside them. Therefore, Theodore couldn’t get angry. Theodore could only say to Jalen, “Sure. As long as you don’t feel tired.”
“Of course, I’m not tired. It’s my pleasure to be with Ella,” Jalen smiled and walked to Elaina’s side.
Jalen’s words gave Elaina goose pimples. Elaina glared at Jalen. “Don’t think that I will tolerate you just because you’re injured. Listen, if you dare to say those sappy words again, I will definitely…”
As Elaina spoke, she raised her fist, meaning that she would punch Jalen with no mercy.
Jalen chuckled and deliberately dodged to the side. “Sure. I won’t say them again.”
Elaina and Jalen talked and laughed. Although most of the time, it was Jalen who was laughing and talking, Theodore still felt that this scene was very unpleasant.
Theodore was really jealous of Jalen.
Jalen could freely express his love for Elaina, but Theodore couldn’t. Theodore couldn’t even show it in the slightest because he was afraid that Elaina might see through it.
At this moment, Theodore wished that he was not Elaina’s brother. Theodore wished that he could express his love for Elaina as Jalen did. In that case, perhaps Theodore had already become Elaina’s boyfriend or even husband.
