Chapter 158
Theo turned to look at me but did not say anything. His eyes were deep pools, but the emotions in
them were unclear.
Deliberately ignoring the malice and anger in Tyler''s eyes, I walked up to Theo, held his hand, and
said again, "Let''s go, let''s go home."
Theo looked at me for a long time before an attractive smile bloomed on his face. "Okay, whatever
you say."
After he was done speaking, heced his fingers between mine tightly, turned around, and left with
me.
I reckoned Tyler was not in the mood to get into a fistfight with Theo either since he did not say
anything to stop us. He stood where he was and merely watched darkly as we left.
After a while, Theo spoke in a toneced with humor." Were you worried about me just now?"
I blocked his question out instinctively as we approached my car. I instead asked, "I''m driving back.
Are youing with me?"
"You’re following me back in my car." Right after that, he turned to Mason Lynch and said, "You,
drive her car back."
I did not reject him, and I followed Theo to his car. The
driver was inside, waiting for us.
After I got into the car, I turned my head to take in the night view of the city. The streets were
illuminated with fluorescent lights, entuating the hustle and bustle of this sleepless town.
Theo leaned over and pulled me into his embrace. His warm and strong hands caressed my belly
as he said softly, "Your belly is growing bigger and bigger. Don''t g o to the office anymore. Just stay
at home, okay?"

I shuddered and nced back at him. “There are several things due that haven''t been done yet. I
don''t think I can leave for now." I then paused. "The ad giarism matter hasn’t been settled yet
either."
I had initially been waiting for him to ask about Tyler, and I had been contemting how best to tell
him about it. I did not expect him to keep quiet about it.
"I''ll handle the ad issue, don''t worry." Theo’s warm hands were tracing circles on my belly. The heat
from his palms radiated on my belly through my thin clothes. It wasforting, and it felt nice.
All things considered, the ad had been leaked from my end, so I have to bear responsibility. Also,
thepany acquisition was nearlyplete, and I did not want to give that up as well. After some
thought, I asked, "Why did you want me to be in charge of both the new productunch and the
acquisition of the techpany?" "There''s not much of a reason why, I just thought you''d be
suitable for the jobs, so I delegated them to you.” His answer was casual, but it felt as if he had not
really answered me.
"That was an act of sheer folly from the very beginning. Do you know something I don’t?" I was
relentless as I kept asking questions.
Theo lifted his eyes, his deep gazending on my face. After a long time, he said, “Do you think I’m
omniscient, that I can know what will happen before i t happens? It’s now after office hours, and
we’re a married couple, so shouldn''t you be fussing over me a s a patient?”
He was tantly avoiding the topic. I pouted, not asking him any more questions. The words flowed
out from me naturally. "Are your wounds hurting?"
I was tired of having a ton of things weighing down m y heart. If he did not want me involved, it was
fine. I could have my peace. I had wanted to tell him about Tyler, but since he had not asked, I did
not bring it up.
We got back to the vi quickly. Miss Woods came out to greet us, and when she saw that I was
with Theo, she was stunned before she gleefully said, "It''s good to be back! It’s definitely more
comfortable at home than in the hospital. Since the food is also better, you can get better quicker
too!”
I had only realized that after Miss Woods brought it u p. It was not yet time for Theo to be
discharged. I looked at him and asked, "Is it really okay for you to leave the hospital just like that?"
Theo shrugged and waved his hands. “It’s fine, it’s just a small surgery. Besides, Mason''s around."
If it was fine, why did you want me to feed you at the hospital every day? That was basically a
method of torturing me. However, I did not say that out loud, merely grumbling in my heart.
"Right, Miss Woods, have you seen the box that Grandmother gave to me that other time?" I had
been busy with several things recently, so the box had slipped my mind. Tonight, Tyler had gotten
me thinking back about some things, especially when it came to Grandmother, so I was suddenly
reminded of that box.
Theo, who was changing out of his clothes, heard what I had said. His hands shook slightly, but he
soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened, continuing to change out of his clothes.
I was slightly confused but did not look much into it a s I continued rummaging through the cabs
in the living room.
