Chapter 710


    I did not sleep the whole night. The doorbell rang the next morning. I opened the door, and


    unsurprisingly, I saw Theo.


    Our eyes met. We had not seen each other all night and he already looked a little wretched.


    He did not shave when he woke up this morning, and his clothes were probably the same as the


    ones he wore yesterday.


    "Can Ie in?" he asked, his voice sounding slightly haggard too.


    I nodded and made way for him.


    He looked at me with a warm gaze. "I''m sorry.”


    I had remained in the same posture the whole night, s o my body felt slightly stiff at the moment. I


    moved m y neck and sat on the bed, saying, "It''s not your fault. You don''t have to apologize."


    It was Quinn''s own intention toe to see me and drive me out. This had nothing to do with Theo.


    The man grabbed my arm and gave me a gentle tug. I was instantly pulled into a tight embrace.


    "This will not happen again."


    It sounded like a promise as well as an assurance.


    I nodded to indicate that I understood.


    I did not sleep all night and my heart was more or less at peace when I leaned on him now.


    I was tired and craved the warmth of his body. I closed my eyes and said, "If you''re not busy today,


    can you take a nap with me?”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    He smiled. "If this is your request, then I''m free the whole day."


    How could he possibly be free? I saw how busy he had been these days but I wished to be willful


    for just a little while.


    There must be at least a few days in one''s life where one lived for oneself.


    How great would it be if life could go on calmly and peacefully like that? It would be really great,


    though I knew that it was not possible.


    When I woke up, it was already dark outside. I had slept the entire day.


    Theo sat leaning against the head of the bed beside m e, aptop ced on hisp. Seeing that I


    had woken u p, he put theptop aside and lowered his head to kiss my forehead. "Did you have a


    good rest?"


    I nodded. "I had a sweet dream."


    "What did you dream of?"


    "I dreamt of everybody gathering in the small yard in Zenon eating watermelon." I cast my eyes


    down, my


    voice growing hoarse. "Everybody wasughing."


    Theo knew who everybody was.


    He gently sighed and held me tight. "I''m d that everybody''s happy."


    I did not speak further and recollected myself in silence.


    "I kept the vi for you for when you woulde back, but there are many bad memories for you


    there. Now that you''re back, what do you think about changing to another vi?"


    I smiled. "Aren''t you worried about having your photos taken by the media saying that you found a


    new lover and are keeping your mistress in a splendid abode?"


    He stroked my waist and rubbed his stubble on my face. "The part about a new lover is false, but a


    splendid abode is true." 1


    I pushed him away and said with a smile, "I''m not going to joke around with you anymore. I''m


    hungry, let''s order takeaway.”


    I went to the bathroom to wash up. When I came out and saw the room attendant in the room, I


    froze.


    Theo walked over. "I changed us to another room."
