Chapter 955


    I looked at her with reddened eyes. I could not stop myself from embracing her. "Take care of


    yourself when Theo and I aren''t around.”


    After the shock, Quinn helplessly said, "Why are you suddenly so emotional? It''s not like you''re


    never going to see me again."


    There was a pang in my heart. I let go of her and held back the urge to cry, saying, "I know you


    didn’t envision an ordinary woman like me spending the rest of this lifetime with Theo. We had


    plenty of conflicts in the past, but I know you did it all for Theo''s sake. Besides, you''ve never done


    anything to hurt me. I know you''re just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You mean no


    harm."


    Quinn was stunned. After a long time, she realized what I was saying and asked with unease, "Why


    are you suddenly saying these things?"


    I smiled. "Thank you."


    I embraced her again after saying that, but the pain in my heart remained.


    There were no good or bad in this world, just different opinions.


    Quinn was kind to me now, so I regarded her as a good


    person and someone who was worthy of my kindness.


    Petra was the same.


    Quinn patted my back and asked a little worriedly, " Did something happen? Talk to me so we can


    find a way to solve it together.”


    I let go of her and said with a smile, "I do need your help on one thing.”


    "Hurry up and tell me." Quinn was worried about me and seemed a little eager.


    “Can you lend me ten dors?"


    II H


    Quinnughed in exasperation. “You piss me off. How could you make me worry on purpose?”


    Having said that, she pulled out a stack of bills from her pocket.


    Afraid that she would give all of it to me, I pressed down on her hand and drew out a ten-dor bill


    from the stack. I said with a smile, "Just ten dors will do."


    After driving away, I went back to the olddy who sold baked sweet potatoes and gave her ten


    dors before going home.


    Theo had not returned yet. I went back to my room to change into pajamas and went downstairs to


    sit on the sofa as I waited for him to return.


    Theo came back at half-past five.


    Seeing that I was not watching TV or reading a book and was merely sitting on the sofa in a daze,


    he asked worriedly, "What''s wrong?"


    I came back to my senses and looked up at him, saying with a smile, "Nothing. I''m just hungry and


    was wondering why you weren''t home yet."

    Theo sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulder, saying helplessly, "Caroline is making


    dinner. It should be ready soon. We’ll eat when she''s done."


    After a pause, he continued, "You don''t have any cash o n you?"


    I was stunned and thought that Quinn might have called to say something to him.


    I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat as I said with a smile, "I bought a baked


    sweet potato at a roadside stall but forgot that I didn’t have any cash on me. The olddy was really


    nice and wanted to give it to me for free, but I couldn’t bring myself to take it without paying. That’s


    why I borrowed money from Quinn and paid the olddy after leaving Quinn''s ce."


    Theo gently sighed. "The bank card I gave you is cashable. Just go to the bank and cash out some


    money if you need it next time."


    I pursed my lips. "Do we have any cash at home?"


    Theo nodded. "There are tens of thousands of dors i n the drawer in the study. Go and get it if


    you need to use it."
