Chapter 1214
"But aren''t you worried about leaving Mr. Collins here alone after you go to Whaldorf City?"
Shannon chuckled mischievously. "There''s a butler and caretakers here with him.
Besides, my grandma will soon be back from the sanatorium. He doesn''t really need me to take
care of him. Besides, it''s not like I’ll nevere back again. I cane back to visit him often."
After a pause, she continued, "I''ve wanted to go to Whaldorf City for the longest time but didn''t
because there wasn''t anyone to apany me. Now that I have you, my friend, I must go with
you."
Her words moved me for some reason.
In order to help here out of her mncholic mood, I joked with her, "You''re not going because
of Jordan, are you?"
I believed this was one of the reasons. The Fredericks’pany was in Whaldorf City. Jordan was
not going to stay here forever and would return to Whaldorf City sooner orter. A woman like
Shannon would definitely not be able to ept a longdistance rtionship.
Shannon gently coughed and said with a slightly crimson face, "It indeed has to do with him, but
you''re the biggest reason."
"Oh, stop it.” I continued to tease her, “I nearly believed in you."
"You have to believe in me."
Later, Shannon and I talked about something else and went to bed.
The next morning, I opened my eyes and realized that the room was very dark. I thought the sun
had note up yet, but after looking out the window for a while, I realized it was a cloudy day
today.

Shannon was not awake yet, so I crept out of bed and walked to the window to gaze out.
A cloudy day made for a perfect day to have a lie-in.
I nced at Shannon who was still asleep and left the room.
Theo''s room was next door. I walked to the door and saw that it was ajar. The nket on the bed
was folded neatly.
Theo was already up but not in the room.
I went downstairs and saw the caretaker serving breakfast in the dining area.
When she saw that I hade downstairs, she said with a smile, "Good morning, Ms.
Lane. Breakfast is ready. You can have it now."
I nodded and swept my gaze around the room but did not see Theo, so I asked," Have you seen my
husband?”
"Mr. Grant left after waking up this morning. He said that there was something urgent that he
needed to attend to, so he was in a hurry to go back to the city. He didn''t want to wake you up, so
he asked me to pass on a message. He asked you to go home earlier at night so you two can have
dinner together."
"Alright, I got it."
The project matters had not been solved yet, so it was normal that he was busy.
After having breakfast, I had nothing to do and went for a walk in the yard.
I saw Mr. Collins shoveling the ground and walked over to greet him. "Good morning, Grandpa
Collins."
Mr. Collins put down the shovel and asked me with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?''
I nodded and looked at the ground. “Are you nting flowers here, Grandpa?"
Mr. Collins chuckled. “Not flowers. I''m nting some sweet potatoes. I''ll be able to harvest them in
winter if I nt them now.''
He looked up to the second floor. "Is Shannon, that brat, still sleeping?"
I smiled slightly. "She slept verytest night, so let''s let her sleep a little longer.’
Mr. Collins sighed. "This child''s sleep schedule is all messed up. It''s a bad habit.’
Although he wasining, his tone was an indulging one.
Shannon and I left Mr. Collins’ ce in the
evening.
When we saw Jordan standing at the vi''s gate, we were both stunned.
Now, this was rare. What was a busy man doing at home at this hour?
After getting out of the car, Jordan expressed his intention of having a meal with Shannon.
I went home alone. Theo said that he wanted to have dinner together when he came home at night,
so I got ready to make dinner.
The refrigerator was full of various kinds of ingredients. I could make anything.
I made three dishes and a bowl of soup. Seeing that Theo had note home yet, I gave him a
call.
