Chapter 658


    Fred smiled but did not say anything else.


    Theo took the initiative to pour him a ss of wine, his voice faint yet attractive. "Thanks for taking


    care o f her all these years.”


    I had never told anyone about the rtionship between Theo and me. Although Fred suspected it,


    he had always been a gentleman about it and would not ask if I did not say.


    Now that Theo had cleared the air, he knew what was going on.


    After a few sses of wine, the conversation and atmosphere warmed up. Both men seemed to


    have quite a lot inmon.


    Theo was a business elite in Whaldorf City. If he was said to only be hiding his light under a bushel


    during his time in Salt City, then being in Whaldorf City was the time he showed off all those


    capabilities.


    In the three years I was away, he had turned Grant Corporation into a leadingpany in Whaldorf


    City. Its status was unparalleled, and he became the most striking presence in the whole of


    Whaldorf City.


    A person like that did not only stand out among thedies as he was equally admired by the men.


    Munchkin was soon tired after eating. I brought him t o his bedroom to sleep, and when I came out,


    I saw both men sitting together watching television. They were not talking about anything else.


    Tiana was also sleepy, so when Fred saw meing out, he picked Tiana up and prepared to bid


    farewell.


    When the pair left, Theo got up to clean the table and I helped him.


    "You''ve changed a lot, Theo." I put the cutleries in the sink. "How should I put this? You’re more


    dependable and charming now."


    He looked at me. "You’ve changed too. You’re gentler and more beautiful now."


    Were we ttering each other?


    I burst outughing.


    He took the bowl from my hands and said, "I’ll clean them. You should go to the living room and


    rest."


    Knowing that I would not win in this argument, I did not say anything else and washed my hands


    before leaving the kitchen.


    I went to the bedroom to check on Munchkin. He was sleeping soundly, and that put me at ease. I


    then went t o the living room to watch the television.


    When Theo was done cleaning, he came over and sat beside me. Leaning back against the back of


    the sofa, h e closed his eyes.


    I nced at him, retracting my gaze after just one nce.


    I did not pay any attention to what was being yed o n the television. My brain was a mess, a


    flurry of thoughts running through my head. I was also wondering why Theo had not said anything


    and what he was thinking about?


    Unsure how long it had been, I nced at him once more and realized that he might have fallen


    asleep.


    I got up and went to the room to grab a nket. I covered it on his body.


    At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Having no time to evade, our eyes met and I was


    suddenly in a daze.


    His eyes were glowing and looked particrly bright." I saw you in my dreams several times. When


    I woke u p and realized that you weren''t around, that always left me in a daze for a very long time.”


    I pursed my lips, not knowing what to reply.


    His gaze was zing hot, and my face was slightly warm. I cast my eyes down and said mildly, "If


    you''re tired, then go to the room to sleep.”


    Seeing that I was about to leave, he quickly grabbed m y hand. "Will you be willing to go back to


    Whaldorf City with me?"


    I pursed my lips. "I''m doing just fine over here."


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "It''s fine if you don’t want to go back to Whaldorf City with me." He was not disappointed. "It''s pretty


    nice here. In any case, I''ll be wherever you are."


    His gaze grew even hotter as though it could burn my whole body to the ground. With the words he


    was saying, I turned away and said in a trembling voice," I''m tired. I''ll be going back to my room


    now."
