Chapter 1302


    This did not seem like the first time the secretary had been asked this question, so she answered


    with great fluency, "Mr.


    Grant said we can''t put them because his wife doesn’t like it. There was once a bold secretary who


    ced a lot of nts in the office and it made Mrs. Grant really mad, so you don''t see any nts in


    Mr. Grant’s office all year round."


    The bold secretary she was referring to must be Nadia.


    Theo had not moved to Whaldorf City at the time, and Nadia was his secretary for a period of time.

    She ced plenty of nts in Theo''s office. As I was aware of her malicious intentions, I had an


    argument with Theo at the time. I was surprised that Theo still remembered that incident and


    continued to not have nts in his office even until now.


    After a few minutes, the office door opened and Theo walked in.


    I stood up from the sofa. When I saw him looking at me with smiling eyes, I said a little awkwardly,


    "My mom said you left in such a hurry, so she didn''t ask you to stay for lunch and told me to bring


    you lunch instead."


    Theo merely nodded without a word.


    He nced at the lunch boxes on the coffee table and then at me.


    I did not know what else to say and was a little awkward.


    "How am I supposed to finish two sets alone?" Theo tried to help me feel less awkward.


    Although I knew that I was wrong, I found it a little difficult to put down my pride after having just


    argued with him earlier.


    I pursed my lips and mildly said, "If you can finish it, then go ahead. I''m not very hungry anyway."


    Theo did not say anything and sat on the sofa. He opened the two lunch boxes.


    Seeing that the two sets were the same, he took both of them out and said to me, "Eat!"


    I pursed my lips. "I''m not very hungry. You should eat it.”


    Theo frowned. "Am I a pig to you?”


    Even though he was a man and had a muchrger appetite than women, he would not be able to


    finish two sets of lunch.


    What was this if not feeding a pig?


    I scratched my chin and sat on the sofa, picking up my cutleries.


    We ate in silence, neither of us saying a word.


    In the end, I took the initiative to say, "I''m sorry, Theo."


    I did not look at him and stared at the food the whole time.


    My sudden apology left Theo stunned.


    Aftering back to his senses, he mildly said, "Okay."


    He said one word and nothing else.


    I frowned, a little displeased by his perfunctory response. It was not easy for me to take the initiative


    to apologize, but he only responded with one word. Did he not know that it would make me really


    awkward?


    After waiting for a long time and seeing that he did not n to say anything, I sighed. I did not know


    whether I should get mad.


    After eating, he looked at me and asked," Come home with me tonight?”


    Although it was just a question, it did not sound like I had an option to refuse.


    I thought about it. Instead of directly refusing him, I said, "I just came back and want to spend some


    time with them. When I nearly died in the morgue previously, I thought to myself that if the heavens


    gave me one more chance to live, I''d mend our rtionship and spend my time with them. I''d tell


    them how much I love them." I continued after a pause, "I''m just an ordinary person who wants to


    enjoy the love of my parents just like other ordinary girls. I believe you understand."


    Theo looked at me with deep and profound eyes. After a long time, he said, "I understand, but don''t


    leave me tormented for too long."


    He used ''tormented'' instead of waiting because tormented was way more agonizing than waiting.
