Chapter 221
He was a very particr person, someone who suffered from mild mysophobia. I could imagine how
hard it must be for him to spend the night in a bedroom that was only a few dozen square feet
without any clean clothes.
Yet, there was not even a word ofint from him. He was willing to stay here and keep me
company all night.
The next morning, he woke up at the crack of dawn.
I said with bleary eyes, "You’re off to work so early?" "I''m going home to get changed. I have a
meeting this morning. You can sleep a while more. I''ll ask Keith to buy you breakfastter and bring
you some new clothes. He''ll bring you to thepany for lunch after. I''ll apany you for the
pregnancy check-up in the afternoon."
"You don’t have to buy me breakfast. I’ll have some of the bread and milk that you boughtst night.
I have some clothes here. I’ll go look for you in the afternoon myself," I mumbled before turning
over, trying to go back to sleep.
He did not say anything more. He got up and left.
However, the urge to sleep had gone. He had been
particrly kind to me these days, and he pampered me so much. It was strange that I found him
more unfamiliar than ever before. He was not the cold-hearted Theo Grant I knew back then.
My imagination was running wild as Iy on the bed. Cecilia called and told me that she was going
back to Salt City today.
I offered to pick her up at the airport since I had nothing to do at home.
After asking for her flight number and time, I hurriedly got up and washed up. I left my car at the
company, so I could only hail a taxi to Grant Corporation. Then, I drove to the airport.
When I reached the airport, there was still another half an hour until Cecilia''s nended. The sun
was zing outside, so I decided to park the car and wait inside.
Once I reached the stairs, two figures a distance away caught my attention. He was tall and
handsome with a n imposing figure. The woman had a smoking hot body, looking beautiful and
elegant. Both of them were heading outside. They were so eye-catching that the people around
would look back at them. Some of them even though they were superstars and took out their
phones to snap some photos of them.
My eyes felt sore while looking at the good-looking couple. I took out my phone and called Theo.
"Where are you?"
"I''m in the airport," he answered. "Zedd got caught up with something this morning, so I had to
come to the airport to pick her up. Have you had breakfast?"
I was holding my phone and looking at him from far away. His straight face turned gentle when he
saw that it was me calling. There was a trace of a smile on the corners of his lips when he was
talking to me.
I felt my heart twitch for a moment, and it was beating fast. At least he was being honest.
"Look to your left," I spoke while looking at him.
He was startled and turned his face. He saw me standing on the stairs. He walked toward me and
pulled me aside, away from the crowd. Then, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you here?
It''s crowded here. It''s dangerous!"
"Cecilia ising back today. I''m here to pick her up." I looked up and saw Cindy who was ring
at me from far away. I said, "Miss Reed is still waiting for you. Go back to her. I have to go inside."
"Go inside and find a seat. Wait for me." He turned around and walked toward Cindy after saying
so.
I did not look at them anymore. After I entered, I found a seat at the corner and sat down. Running
into him here all of a sudden made me feel unpleasant.
However, there were always problems cropping up. Zedd was busy, so it was normal that Theo had
to pick her up.
Theo had never gotten over Cindy, and he never would.
I clearly knew that, so why did I still care?
After a while, Theo came back and sat beside me. He held my hands and said, "Don''t imagine
things. Zedd i s really caught up in something, so I had toe.”
I looked at him and smiled. "I didn''t say anything. And it''s perfectly fine for you to pick Miss Reed
up. I''m not that petty.”

This was really nothing to me. It used to be something usual back then, but now it was just me
being sensitive and weak.
After 20 minutes, Cecilia walked out pulling two big suitcases. She was slightly surprised when she
saw u s. "The sun must have risen from the west today. I''m s o overwhelmed to be picked up by
both of you. What a n honor!"
I smiled and did not say anything. Theo was the same. He took the suitcases from Cecilia and took
the lead a s he brought us out.
Cecilia looked at me and gave me a vague smile. "Did anything happen when I wasn’t here?”
