Chapter 1345


    I pursed my lips, feeling a bit upset.


    I did not know why he was unhappy, and I did not know whether he was unhappy because of me


    Theo continued reading his book on the couch. I did not want to say anything anymore, so I just got up and walked into the bathroom.


    Cnce I was done showering, Iy down on the bed, getting ready to sleep.


    After going walking so much, I would be lying if I said I was not tired.


    Theo picked up his phone when it rang, but he did not say much. Instead, he got up and handed it to me. Then, he returned to the couch where he


    continued reading his


    book.


    I nced at the phone. It was Petia. I held it up to my ear and asked, "What''s wrong. Mom?"


    "Wanda, Munchkin is having a fever again. It keepsing and going. I''m a little worried." Petra sounded anxious.


    He was having a fever again?


    In the past, Munchkin would not have recurring fevers, not even when the seasons were changing


    I was a little worried too, but I was not in Whaldorf City at the moment. I had no way of bringing Munchkin to the hospital." Mom, ask a maid to bring


    Muchkin to the hospital. Don''t worry too much, it might just be a cold. Perhaps he''ll get better once the season has changed."


    Petra sighed softly. "Alright, I''ll ask someone to bring him to the hospital tomorrow. Your father and I have been too busy these days. Once you and


    Theo are done with your matters in Limbia, pleasee back quickly. As for you, don''t just run around as you please. You should stay in Whaldorf


    City and learn how to manage thepany. Your father and I are old.


    We''re thinking it might be time to hand the business over to you and Cassey. You''re both young, knowledgeable, and capable. We can rest assured if


    thepany is passed to both of you."


    I never thought that they would decide to hand the business to me, so I refused without thinking. "Mom, you know I don''t like running around the


    workce.


    Besides, I have things I want to do too. Moreover, Xander and Cassey are both excellent. They''re more than capable. As long as you have them, you


    can pass some of your duties to them once you get tired.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Even though Petra was disappointed by my refusal, she still chose to respect my decision.


    "My dear, I''ll never force you to do


    something don''t want to do. But


    you''re stitha-child of the Louis famjfy.


    These things have always belonged


    to youYou can''t just neglect your


    responsibilities and pass them to


    sorrieone else."

    I knew she was just trying to let me be mentally prepared. I made a sound of acknowledgment but did not say anything else. After hanging up the call,


    I felt a sinking feeling in my chest.


    I had never thought about these things before, so it was only natural that I would be a little lost when they were brought up.


    I ced the phone on the bedframe. Seeing that Theo was still reading, I sighed softly.


    I had initially nned to give him a


    chance. Aftetall I was the one who


    went outer’ my own. Not only did I


    bump inte danger, but when he.


    — oN


    called me, Tory was the one who


    picked up. Of course, he would be


    ma. He was just worried. about me.


    However, I was a little exasperated by what Petra said. Hence, I decided not to coax Theo into talking to me anymore.


    Iy down on the bed. Perhaps it was the shock that I went through, in addition to the exhaustion I felt from the distance I had traveled on foot, I fell


    asleep quickly.


    However, not kang after I fell asleep,


    was awoken by some sounds. I


    opened ry Byes and saw that Theo-


    was intefitionally causing a ruckus.


    He qimed the book on the coffee


    tablexThen, he lifted the cup to take


    a stp of water, only to put itback


    d6wn loudly. Content bnigs to


    After that, he picked up theptop and started typing noisily.


    I knew he was still mad at me, but his childish actions made me want tough.


    He was doing all that to get my attention.


    Perhaps because I did not respond, he brought out a calctor out of nowhere and kept pressing the reset button repeatedly. The monotonous


    mechanical beeping sounded over and over again.


    How childish!


    I sat up on the bed and stared at him, speechless. "Theo Grant, aren''t you behaving childishly?"


    How could a 30-something-year-old man do something so childish? I truly did not know what to say to him.
