She nodded her head and smiled. “Yes. We were just classmates at first. After we got into a relationship, our parents kept rushing us to get married. So, we’re getting ready to marry. I wanted to introduce him to you previously, but so many things have happened these days. I couldn’t find a chance to tell you.” That was nice. Women who were in a relationship had love in their eyes, and their gazes would sparkle as well.Indeed, many things had happened these days. I smiled and said, “I wish you happiness. We should eat together someday if we have time.” “Sure, Wanda. I’ll leave first.” Heidi looked so happy. She turned and left. I looked at her back while feeling envious. How good it was to be young, and how nice it must be to be in a relationship.That was when the phone rang. It was Cecilia, who invited me to go shopping in the evening. She had been staying at home these days because of Tyler. It seemed that she was bored. I hung up the call after I promised to meet her in
Cecilia turned her head around, looked at me, and spoke in a serious tone. "So leave Theo. I can take care of both of you." I was stunned for a moment when she suddenly said that. I hugged her and said, "Why are you suddenly talking about this? But I’ll definitely divorce him and leave. It’s just a matter of time.”She broke free from the hug, patted my shoulder, and smiled. "Alright, I just suddenly feel a little emotional. I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes. And I've found a place in Rosella City. The living expenses are lower there. When the time comes, we'll buy a villa and our lives will be better than they are here.”Looking at Cecilia’s tearful eyes while she pretended that she was having it easy, I suddenly realized that she had changed. She had changed into someone who had a lot on her mind and who was keeping things in her heart.Maybe it was because of Xander. I did not think much of it either. I held her hand and said, “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me. We s
He paused and halted his footsteps. His bottomless eyes tinged with icy coldness.“Wanda, who are you talking to?” Cecilia heard noises and asked. “Someone came to check on the gas.” After I said that, I raised my hands and pushed Theo out of the door before closing it.He raised his brows, and I saw anger in his icy-cold expression. It was probably the first time he was pushed out of the door. "It's late. What's the matter?" I ignored his unhappiness and asked. He stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets, fixing his gaze on me. There was no expression on his face. It took him a long time to finally speak. “I came to bring you home.” I was depressed, but it was not the time to fight with each other. I lowered my voice and spoke softly, "Didn't I tell you that I'll be staying here for a while? Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby.""And I've told you, you can only stay at the villa until the baby is born. At least there’s someone at home who can take care of
Fine. There was only one outcome if I persisted—another fight.I had no intention of fighting with him. Hence, I dried my hair and went to sleep. After ten minutes, Theo came out, lifted the covers, and lay down beside me. It had been a long time since I was so close to him. I was not used to it, so I squirmed my body to the side."You'll fall if you keep inching to the side." With his eyes closed, he scooped me and the blanket into his arms. He said in a deep voice, "We're husband and wife. Are you going to avoid me forever?" While his voice was calm, it sounded a little helpless.“I’m not avoiding you. You’re still wet and it’s uncomfortable,” I said. I did not want to talk about this with him. He let go of me and got out of bed. He picked up the towel and seriously wiped himself again. Then, he got back onto the bed and said, "Touch me. I’m dry now."“You are.” I turned over, lay on my side, and closed my eyes.He reached his hands out from behind and took me in his arm
After he spoke, he put on his clothes and left. Then, there came the noise of the car engine starting from downstairs. I could not help but sigh. People were envious of Theo for being rich, but no one knew how difficult it was for him.The world had always been fair. One would have to put in more effort than others if one wanted to have more. After a while, I fell asleep again.However, I was woken up by Theo’s phone call. “Hello.” I tapped on the answer button in a bleary state. “Rise and shine, lazy little bug.” On the other side of the phone, he spoke in a teasing tone with a happy voice. It seemed that he was in a good mood.“Get up.” It was indeed late. I got out of bed in a hurry. "Hurry up and wash up. Keith is waiting for you downstairs. Come and have your breakfast in the office." I could hear other voices from his side. He was probably busy.“I’ll have breakfast at home.” “I’ll be waiting for you.” He hung up the phone after he said that.I was startled for a
She lifted her head like a proud peacock, looking like she owned the whole world. I could not help but find it ridiculous. "Yes. You're worthy, especially worthy. You'd better keep your Theowy company. I'm going back." In the past, I might have felt inferior and upset, but it did not really matter anymore. I was too lazy to argue with her. I moved aside and was ready to head out. Even though I did not want to go looking for trouble, it did not mean others would leave me alone. When I took a step forward, Cindy stretched her foot out and tripped me. I staggered and failed to regain my footing, causing me to tumble forward. There was nothing around me that I could grab for support. I instinctively reached out to hold onto Cindy, and we both went crashing to the floor. As she was in front of me, she fell in a sitting position with her bottom on the floor. Then, there was a thud. Her head hit the door frame. “Ouch!” Cindy cried out in pain. Her voice was loud, alerting Theo
His handsome eyes darkened slightly. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Is this what you call fine?” There was anger in his tone. “I’m really fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.” I was being stubborn again. I curled my lips and spoke. He did not say anything. He took the cotton swab and dabbed it on the wounds. He was no longer as gentle as before and seemed to deliberately exert more force. It was so painful that I let out a gasp and cried out loud. “Theo Grant! Are you doing it on purpose?”“Didn’t you say that it doesn’t hurt at all?” There was a hint of teasing in his voice. He did not sound angry but his tone was not soft either. However, I was enraged. “You…” I was so furious that I could not say anything. He chuckled. Then, he treated my wounds gently just like how he did before. He even blew on them to relieve the pain.I pursed my lips and said nothing until he was done dressing the wounds.He put the first aid kit back, carried me back to his office, and put me on the s
"Lame." I lowered my head, not wanting to look at him anymore. I thought he had something serious to tell me. I did not expect him to just be bored and tease me. Heidi's working efficiency was consistently good. She had been working with me for the past few years. I seldom had to worry about her, and I felt assured working with her.I was feeling a little sleepy now. I yawned after a while of going through the stack of documents that needed to be signed.“Go inside and take a nap. I’ll help you sign them.” Theo put down his documents and took away the stack in my hands.Theo’s office was the same as the one I had in Nectarine Entertainment. There was a small bedroom in the office. However, even if I chose to sleep here, I probably would have a hard time sleeping with all those people coming in and out of the office. “No thanks.” I shook my head and pulled myself together. However, it was like he did not hear what I said. He put down the documents, lifted his hands, and carried
