All Chapters of The Doting Bigwig: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

"Why did you barge in?" Willow glared at Theodore.After a brief moment of confusion, Theodore calmly replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Cedar's room, and it's also the room I'm supposed to be sleeping in tonight."Willow was speechless for a moment.As Theodore glanced at the phone Willow had turned face down on the table, he recalled seeing her video chatting with two women when he walked in. Though he didn't see their faces clearly, he had an idea of who they were.Feigning ignorance, he asked, "What's the matter?""Nothing. I changed the sheets for you. You should go to bed early." Willow instantly grabbed her vibrating phone from the table before hurrying out.Seeing how flustered she was when she left, Theodore couldn't help but chuckle.Back in her own bedroom, Willow took a deep breath before pressing the answer button. Two pairs of eyes instantly filled the screen as soon as the call connected."Where is he? Where is that guy?" Penny kept looking behind Willow, but

Under the night sky, the woman's gaze was terrifying to look at as it was filled with resentment."You were the one who proposed to marry me. Are you planning to hide this from Willow forever? Why? I don't get you."Matthew turned to look at the woman. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the lamp and some other furniture were smashed to pieces inside.While the living room was in complete disarray, the echoes of their recent argument still lingered in his ears.If he hadn't experienced it himself, he could never have imagined that the once gentle and considerate Joey would turn into such a hysterical shrew.Matthew took a deep breath as an exhausted expression marred his face. "Joey, don't you think the most important matter right now is to find Lottie?""I don't see how these two things have anything to do with each other.""I don't have the energy to think about anything else right now. Can you please be a little considerate? Let's focus on finding Lottie first, ok

Theodore stopped patting her for a moment before asking in confusion, "Why?"Willow started to struggle for a bit but couldn't break free from his hold. She gritted out, "Let me go, and I'll tell you."Theodore stopped her from moving instantly and replied, "Then you don't have to say anything."What he said infuriated Willow. How could he not be curious at all? Was he even human?After a moment of silence, Willow couldn't keep it in any longer and decided to tell him. "Before we moved here, my mom, Cedar, and I were constantly moving from one rented place to another."Once, we were kicked out for not paying the rent, and my mom took us under a bridge to stay for the night."Theodore's expression froze slightly. He then furrowed his brows."That night, I suddenly felt something moving on top of me in the middle of the night. When I opened my eyes, guess what I saw?""Don't say it.""I saw a huge rat on top of me. It crawled into my coat pocket and stole a piece of my biscuit…"

"Thanks for giving me a ride."When they arrived at Joywell, Willow got out of the car and stood outside before thanking Theodore.Theodore calmly said, "I'll pick you up tonight.""There's no need for that. I'm not going back to my mom's place tonight.""I'm picking you up for dinner."Willow was taken aback, but before she could turn him down, the car window was already rolling up."Uh…"As she watched the SUV drive off, she knitted her brows together. She hadn't even agreed to have dinner with him yet. He was still as presumptuous as before.Back inside the car, Theodore wore a grim expression.Sean cautiously suggested, "Mr. Bassett, Linda said Ms. Jett likes Cushler cuisine. How about I make a reservation at a private Cushler restaurant for you two tonight? There's a newly opened one in Emperia.""Sure," Theodore responded indifferently. As he absentmindedly brushed his phone screen, he suddenly thought of something. "Has the final design for the Central Library project

Annie's words lingered in Willow's mind. Regardless of whether Cedar decided to work for Bassett Corporation or not, she hoped to resolve the tension between them sooner rather than later."Ms. Jett, how about we have dinner together tonight?""I can't. I've already made plans," Willow politely declined Annie's invitation.With a curious look, Annie asked, "With who? Didn't you come back to visit Mrs. Jett? Why would you have other plans? Could it be with Mr. Bassett?""Why would you think that?" Willow quickly denied it. "Can't I have plans with Joey?""He he. But Ms. Lane is on leave."Willow was a little shocked. "Joey is on leave?""Yup. Didn't she tell you? She said she had some matters to take care of and hasn't been to work for several days now.""Did she mention what kind of matters?""No. She's always been busy and doesn't come in often." Clearly more interested in Willow's dinner plans, Annie teased with a knowing smile, "Ms. Jett, you've got something going on, huh?
