Chapter 701


    I nced at my phone. Half-past ten was not considered toote. I nned to take a look at


    Munchkin in his room.


    Worried that Munchkin would be too afraid to sleep in an unfamiliar environment or could not find


    the light switch when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, Theo had ced a nanny in his


    room.


    I opened the door and the nanny, who was lying on the bed, woke up.


    She switched on the lights, and when she saw it was m e, she immediately tried to get out of bed.


    I reached out to stop her and whispered, "I''m only here to take a look because I was worried."


    The nanny nodded with a smile. "Munchkin is sleeping very soundly. Don''t worry, I''ll take care of


    him."


    I pursed my lips. "If he has a nightmare at night and is looking for me, don''t worry about disturbing


    me even i f I''m asleep.


    "Alright, Mrs. Grant. I understand."


    Afraid that I would wake Munchkin up, I did not enter the bedroom to check on him. I exined a


    few more things to the nanny before leaving.


    I stopped in my tracks when I passed by the study.


    Theo was still busy at work at this hour. It seemed like he had a lot of work to do.


    I sighed lightly and went downstairs to the kitchen. I poured a ss of water beforeing back up


    again, knocking on the door of the study.


    "Come in." The man’s low and sexy voice came from the study.


    I pushed the door in and saw Theo sitting in his office chair with a pile of documents in front of him.


    "I suddenly feel like I''ve been transported to ancient times." I walked over and put the ss on the


    desk." And you''re the emperor."


    Theoughed and put down his pen, holding my hand. "You can’t sleep, my queen?"


    Iughed. "When do you n to rest?”


    Theo was not in his 20s anymore, and coupled with his bad stomach, staying upte had affected


    his health.


    He narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curving upward." Are you making an invitation?"


    It took me a long time to figure out what he meant by that. I could not help but blush, saying, "I’m


    just worried about you and want you to sleep early.


    Staying upte is bad for your health."


    I nned to leave after saying that.


    Sinceing to Whaldorf City from Zenon, he had been treating me with the courtesy of a


    gentleman and never overstepped.


    Had it not been for his obscure gaze at this moment, I would have almost forgotten about this.


    After taking only a few steps, he held me back. "Can w e talk, Wanda?"


    I was stunned for a moment and turned back to see the weariness on his face. This must have


    something t o do with work.


    I could not help but return to his side, raising my hand to stroke his brow. I asked softly, "How long


    has it been since you''ve slept well?"


    He looked up at me and raised his hand to encircle me in his arms. His head was resting on my


    lower abdomen, while his voice was deep and low. "It’s been three years.”


    Those four simple words left my body slightly stiffened.


    He held me in his arms, and there was weariness in his voice. "I was used to having you by my


    side, so I couldn''t sleep after you left. Every time Iy on the bed and closed my eyes, all I saw was


    you. That made i t even harder to fall asleep.”


    I cast my eyes down and looked at the top of his head, a little lost in thought.


    Theo did not say anything else after that and closed his eyes while maintaining the same posture.


    There was warmth lingering in the air.


    After a few minutes, I said, "Go sleep in the bedroom."


    He responded, pulling me back to the bedroom with a face full of weariness.


    We had been sleeping separately this whole time, but this time, he pulled me into the same bed and


    locked me tight in his arms as though he was afraid I would run away.


    I wanted to push him away at first, but when I saw his eyes closed and the weary look on his face, I


    could not bring myself to do it.


    I thought I would not be able to fall asleep but surprisingly, I could. I even fell into a deep sleep.


    When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes and saw the man''s stubbled chin. He was not


    awake yet and I was still tightly encircled in his arms, unable to move at all.


    I tried a few times and gave up. I looked quietly at his face as he slept.


    The man had charming facial features. His dark eyes were firmly shut; his curled eyshes were


    particrly good-looking; his face when he slept was calm and peaceful. His usual lofty and


    condescending demeanor was nonexistent, which made him seem exceptionally warm and calm.


    I could not help but reach out to touch his curled eyshes. At just the slightest touch of my


    fingertips, he woke up.


    Our eyes met. His gaze was as deep as the abyss, his starry dark eyes stirring slightly. "You''re


    awake?"


    I nodded and shifted my body, trying to struggle out of his arms only to be held down by him. "Sleep


    a little longer."


    I looked at the time. It was already past eight. I asked with a frown, "Don''t you need to go to work


    today?"


    He smiled slightly. "It''s okay to be a littlete."


    Sure enough, the boss was not afraid of anything.


    However, I could not continue sleeping, so I said helplessly, "I can''t sleep anymore."


    His lips moved slightly, his voice low and deep. "Lie down with me for a while.”


    I had no choice but toy down t. I stared at the ceiling in a daze.


    I suddenly remembered something and my body stiffened. "Theo, you-" 1


    He looked at me with a deep gaze. "I''m a normal man, after all."


    I still felt very awkward. "Let me go, I want to get up."


    He did not move. "I’ll be done in a moment."


    I did not move an inch.


    After a very long time, he got up and went to the bathroom.

    Ten minutester, he came out of the bathroom and I nced intentionally and unintentionally at


    him.


    He noticed it and asked with a smile, "Did I scare you?"


    I shook my head, my cheeks still burning. "The caretaker came up just now and said that breakfast


    is ready."


    He smiled. "You should go and wash up. We''ll go down to have breakfast together once we''re


    done."


    Even though we did not file for divorce back then, we had been separated for three years, so legally,


    we were divorced by default.


    It was unseemly for us to be together like that again. W e were both aware of it. i


    While we were having breakfast, Keith came over and said that the school enrollment had been


    arranged and Munchkin could be enrolled today itself.


    If Munchkin could go to school, I would no doubt want him to go. However, he was not very willing.


    Even so, I refused to spoil him when it came to schooling, so I decided to send Munchkin to school


    after breakfast.


    A lot of anxiety was involved when a child had a change of environment. Theo decided to take


    Munchkin to school with me.


    When we arrived at the kindergarten, a female teacher was waiting at the gate. She looked like she


    was in her 20s.


    When she saw Theo, she was a little shocked. "Mister... Mr. Grant. I''m the junior ss teacher. My


    name''s trainee Tammy."


    Her reaction waspletely normal. For three years, Theo had been building enterprises in


    Whaldorf City. His otherworldly good looks itself were enough to cause many women to fall for him.


    Besides, the scandals of him and Serena were the only things they heard in thest three years. No


    one had heard anything about him being married. With that, many believed that Theo was still a


    bachelor, which turned him into a subject of fantasy by many women.
