Chapter 434


    Theo had no shame and took this ''skill'' of his to a whole new level!


    I breathed in deeply and said, "Theo, my body is weak and frail, you know that. For the sake of my


    health, can we just sleep separately?”


    "That''s still a no." Theo squeezed me and hugged me tighter. "Why can''t we sleep in the same


    room? We''re a couple, so why do we have to sleep in separate rooms?"


    I pursed my lips. "I love my life and I''m worried that I’ll die young."


    Theo sighed and replied after a few moments of silence, "This won''t put your life in danger."


    I was sleepy and desperate to get rid of that idea in his mind, so I said, "We can do it next time.


    Another day, but just not today. I''m too tired to do anything now."


    "But you always say next time!" Theo looked displeased as he said that.


    Was that so?


    The next morning, Theo came over and gave me a kiss on my forehead when he noticed that I had


    woken up.


    "Get away from me." I ground my teeth. I had the


    sudden urge to maul him.


    I closed my eyes. "I''m going back to sleep."


    Theo looked like he had something urgent to attend t o, so he did not spend much time on me. He


    left after h e changed out of his sleepwear.


    I woke up after half an hour and decided to go to work.


    I received a call from Heidi right before I left the house.


    She wanted to meet me, and I agreed with delight.


    She arrived in Capital City on the third day after Benny was arrested. She must have already settled


    down after being here for so many days. I, too, thought it was time for us to meet.


    We decided to meet up at a coffee shop right below where Heidi was staying. It was a small cafe,


    and the patrons were mostly those who lived around the neighborhood.


    She seemed differentpared to thest time we met. She was vibrant and confident again. I


    realized she had gone back to her old self-full of vigor and vitality.


    "President Lane." She addressed me and bowed to me after I was seated. "I need to formally


    express my gratitude toward you. You''ve given me a second chance and a new lease of life. I’ll try


    my very best to repay your kindness."


    She sat back down after she finished talking.


    I smiled and shook my head. "I had my own motive when I agreed to help you, so you don''t have to


    thank _ . H me.


    She pursed her lips and replied, "Yes, you may have had another motive, but the benefits you


    gained are nothingpared to what I got. Plus, you even got yourself injured because of that


    incident. I understand that the main reason you agreed to help me is that we once worked together.


    I know that, but I still feel bad that you got hurt while helping me."


    This was why I admired Heidi. She was always so understanding and never let pride or arrogance


    get in her way.


    She put on a serious face and started to talk business. " I was sessfully recruited by Louis


    Corporation, and I got some information about themst night."Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
