Chapter 847


    "We can’t go visit you and the child empty-handed. We''ll see what toys we can buy. I''ve been


    meaning to ask what Munchkin likes to eat too. We''ll buy some vegetables and cook for him


    tomorrow."


    Petra''s voice came into my ears.


    I gently sighed and said, "You really don''t have to. Theo will ask someone to buy anything weck.


    You just have toe over."


    A low battery notification sounded from my phone. I took a look and did not wait for them to say


    anything else. I said, "My phone is running out of battery. Talk soon."


    After hanging up the phone, I looked out the window, lost in thoughts.


    Back then, Cecilia and I would share a bed. We often stayed upte talking about our lives in the


    future. We had agreed that neither of us would get married, and w e would work hard to earn money


    to buy a big house where the two of us would live. We would not concern ourselves with worldly


    affairs. The two of us would just live our own lives.


    If she were still alive, she would probably change her mind just like me.


    One’s mind changed with age. At this age, the happiest thing was to have our children, rtives,


    and family around us.


    At the thought of this, I remembered Quinn. As my phone was running out of battery, I sent Theo a


    text and asked him to bring Quinn over tomorrow.


    Although we had beef and would inevitably have conflicts in the future, we were still family, after all.


    After sending the text message, my phone shut offpletely.


    I continued drinking my coffee when someone eximed behind me. I subconsciously turned


    around to look. It turned out that Matthew had entered the coffee shop.


    His slender and cold body was straight and tall, though he seemed a little haggard and his short


    hair was slightly unkempt. He probably had not been putting any effort into taking care of his


    appearance.


    He had an indifferent personality and was now standing with two people who were full of smiles,


    which made him seem even more cold and distant.


    I sat by the window. If someone had not reminded him, he would not have turned to look straight at


    me either.


    Therefore, the waitresses standing beside him were probably the ones who told him.


    There were bad rumors about us going around. When I saw him looking at me, I quickly looked


    away I instantly regretted it in my heart. I should have left after drinking the ss of in water.


    Fortunately, Matthew did note over. He merely nced at me and found a seat with two of his


    peers.


    I put down my coffee cup and grabbed my bag to leave.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    When I got to the door of the coffee shop, I realized that it was raining and snowing outside.


    Rain that was mixed with snow felt way colder when i t fell on the body.


    I could run to my car in the rain and snow, but I was apprehensive of the cold. I stood at the door to


    pause for a moment.


    An umbre was held above my head. I did not turn sideways to look but I knew who it was without


    looking.


    "Did you drive here or did you take a cab?"


    The man''s voice was cold and nd. His slender body had blocked off most of the cold wind when


    he stood beside me.


    I looked up at the gloomy sky and said faintly, "I drove here."


    He nodded. "I can walk you."


    "No thanks," I said, refusing in a straightforward manner.


    The chuckle that entered my ears sounded selfdeprecating. "You don''t have to do this even if you


    hate me. I''m not a wolf or a tiger. You don''t have to avoid me."


    I pursed my lips and looked at my shoes that were wet from the rain. "You and Theo are both


    outstanding figures. You don’t have to hurt each other for someone who doesn''t deserve it."


    In the business world, it was best if everyone could work together for profit.


    He sneered. “Are you feeling sorry for me or Theo?"
