Chapter 202


    I told Cecilia, "Take care of yourself over there. I''lle over to see you when I''m free."


    "Okay! I''ll be waiting. Take care!" After a pause, she continued, "And don''t tell Mason that I''m here."


    I agreed and hung up the phone.


    "Thesagna is done. I tasted it and it''s really good." Theo ced the te on the table and


    scooped up some for me. "Try it.”


    I opened my mouth and took a bite. It was tasteless. I could not even tell what I was eating.


    He picked up another spoonful but I shook my head. I did not want it anymore because I had no


    appetite for i t.


    He did not insist and just put down the spoon on the te. He sat on the edge of the bed without


    saying anything. He just sat quietly with me.


    I felt bored, so I picked up a book to read. When Theo saw that I was reading, he went to the study


    to get some documents and came back to apany me.


    After a long time, my phone rang. It was a foreign number, and I assumed it was Jerome. ‘Cecilia


    sure works fast.''


    Theo stared at the number and looked a little suspicious but did not say anything. He just pretended


    to be absorbed by his work and buried his head in his files.


    I got up and went to the balcony to pick up the phone.


    "Holy sh*t, woman, what took you so long to answer the phone?" Even though I had not seen him


    for years, Jerome was still the same.


    I had not heard his voice for a long time but the sense of familiarity immediately overwhelmed me. I


    could not help myself and said, "Jerome, how are you?"


    "I''m doing good, but I''m a little sad that you haven''t contacted me. I know you''re married now so I


    didn''t want to bother you. If Cecilia hadn''t texted me today, I would’ve thought that you had


    disappeared from this world or something." Jerome sounded a bit disgruntled.


    I felt a little bad about it. I did not want to ignore my friends on purpose, but I was just an introvert by


    nature. After I got married, I felt even more unhappy, s o I did not keep in touch with any of my


    friends except Cecilia.


    Jerome continued nagging and did not wait for my answer. He continued, "Cecilia told me that


    you’re still in Salt City and you''ve been a little moodytely. What''s going on? Problems with your


    marriage?"


    I did not say anything. I had not seen him in years, so I did not know how to bring it up. Instead, I


    asked, "Are youing back soon? Let''s meet up!" "I was nning to go back next year, but


    Cecilia told m e about your situation and it sounds pretty serious. How about this? Let me finish up


    my work here and I’lle back to see you in a few days. Wanda, you know that you''re depressed,


    so you must learn to release your emotions. You can''t let another attack happen again, okay?"


    I massaged my aching brow bone and said softly, "I know."


    "You must take good care of yourself. You know how bad it can get. It might just kill you." His tone


    was solemn.


    I knew he meant well, so I just nodded obediently. "I''ll try my best to control it."


    When I saw Theo put down the documents in his hand and walk toward the balcony, I told Jerome,


    "We’ll talk more when you get back. I''m hanging up now."


    "Damn, you really haven''t changed one bit. You’re always the first to hang up," Jerome roared over


    the phone.


    I ignored him and hung up the phone. Theo came to m y side and looked at me indifferently. "Are


    you done with your work?"


    He nodded, took me into his arms, and kissed me on m y forehead. He said, "Let''s move to another


    ce.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    What do you think?"


    "Where do you want to move to?" Salt City was where Grant Corporation was established and the


    base of itsrge headquarters.


    "Whaldorf City. I''m nning to start expanding thepany over there."


    He sat down on a lounge chair on the balcony, pulled me onto hisp, and rubbed my stomach as


    he spoke.


    "Salt City isn''t bad, but it’s not as good as Whaldorf City. Since it’s the capital, it''ll be good for the


    company''s expansion. I also want our children to be born in a better ce so that they can get a


    better education in the future."


    Whaldorf City was the best in everything with a better economic outlook and location. If Grant


    Corporation wanted to expand, Whaldorf City was definitely a good choice. I knew that Theo had


    been preparing this for years.


    I furrowed my eyebrows and said, "Didn''t you previously say that now isn’t the best time to go? Why


    do you suddenly want to move? Wouldn''t that be bad for thepany''s expansion?"


    Thest time Zedd brought it up, he rejected it and said that they needed more preparations before


    they moved.
