Chapter 1173 Guilty
"Are you going to work as usual now?" Oscar refused the cigarette that Theodore offered and asked.
"Do you have something to do?" Theodore asked.
"I n to go to Kensbury City and take Salem with me." Oscar replied.
"To see Hannah?" Theodore chuckled.
Oscar didn''t deny it either.
"Hannah should still be moved by you, right?"
"No," Oscar remembered, feeling a bit helpless. "I''ve been to Kensbury City two or three times and
didn''t see her every time. This time, with Salem, maybe there''s hope."
"Good luck."
"You should leave work early too." Oscar said. "I saw in the news that Little Bunny had some trouble. If
you want to win her back, help her."
"Okay." Theodore nodded.
"I''ll go first."
"Bye-bye."
Oscar left.
Theodore felt mncholy again. He always felt like he was doing something wrong now for Oscar''s
trust in him was so great yet he was doing illegal things behind his back.
But he knew very well that if he didn''t help Little Bunny rescue Addison, she would carry guilt towards
Addison forever. Finally, Theodore picked up the phone and dialed, "Find someone else to take
responsibility and unify their statements. Addison took drugs while not sober due being maliciously
framed by someone else."
"Yes sir." The other end received the order but still had doubts, "Sir are you really going to do this?"
"If anything happens I''ll take responsibility."
"That''s not what I meant, I just feel..."
"Just do it like this for now. Find someone else responsible for it all and arrange everything for them so
they keep their mouth shut tight."
"Yes sir."
Theodore hung up the phone with a heavy sigh once again thinking about how many things were done
in secret before. But since he walked on a righteous path all these years, he had never used his power
illegally until today. He wondered if one day he might really die at Little Bunny''s hands. After finishing
everything necessary at work, Theodore left the office, thinking about how Little Bunny was waiting for
him at home. Despite his bad attitude earlier on, he didn''t want her to wait for him too long or even
starve herself without him there.
His driving speed was faster than usual as he headed home, only to find an empty room upon arrival.
That made he frustrated. Heughed at himself again. He always took Little Bunny''s words seriously.
But she was just being perfunctory with him. Their intimacy was just a formality, even when they went
to bed together or when she treated him well.
Feeling tired, Theodorey on the couch and waited for Little Bunny toe back. He didn''t know how
long he had been waiting until he heard the sound of the door opening. It must be Little Bunnying
back. But Theodore didn''t move and kept lying there, feeling someone approaching him. It was a
familiar scent. It must be Little Bunny who came closer and carefully covered him with a nket.
"I''m back," Theodore said as he opened his eyes suddenly, scaring her off guard.
"Did I wake you up?" asked she.
"No, I wasn''t sleeping." Replied Theodore as he sat up from the couch.
"When did youa back?"
"A few minutes ago."
"Did you have dinner?"
"What about you?"
"Not yet." Said she.
Theodore just stared at her.
"My agent called me to record a statement about Addison''s incident, which affected many
endorsements and brands associated. Hence they needed me to make an official statement quickly
before things got worse for their business deals. I thought it would only take half an hour but ended up
taking longer than expected because my agent wasn''t satisfied with the videos, so I took some time.
You said you''llte so I didn''t call you again." She exined.
"Um."
"I''ll warm up the food." Little Bunny said and and went to the kitchen. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Theodore watched her leave towards the kitchen area while wondering what kind of rtionship
existed between them. Was there any hope left for their future together? What was going on inside her
mind? Was she trying too hard just to please him or something else entirely different altogether?
As Little Bunny heated their meal in silence, she was lost deep in thoughts herself. With that statement
earlier today under duress from her agents, she could preserve her reputation. But in doing so, she had
to sever ties with Addison. If Theodore didn''t help Addison, she would be the ungrateful one.
However, she didn''t want to ask Theodore anymore. Upon reflection, saving Addison was a vition of
regtions and as someone in such a high position like Theodore''s he couldn''t abuse his power. He
had his own concerns and she shouldn''t force him.
After thinking about it all day today, she finally understood that owing something to Addison was just

something that needed to be done for now. In the future, things would return back to normal between
her and Theodore.
Little Bunny finished cooking the food and called out enthusiastically from the kitchen table, "Theodore
Theodore got up from the couch and walked over to join her at the table, where everything was already
set up nicely with utensilsid out neatly on top of it all.
"I heard you like these food so I learned some recipes online." Said Little Bunny excitedly while cing
dishes on top of tes before asking, "Please try them. If they don''t taste good, let me know so I can
improve."
Theodore simply looked at her, who seemed intent on using food as a way of tempting him.
"Go ahead," urged Little Bunny.
Theodore picked up his fork and took a bite of dry-fried pork, which were crispy outside yet tender
inside with an intense vor from red chili peppers mixed in perfectly throughout each bite making them
incredibly satisfying overall. It tasted even better than what most restaurants could offer.
He couldn''t reject Little Bunny anyway, especially when he saw how much effort she put into preparing
these dishes just for him and the chilli made her eyes tear up.
"I''ve taken care of Addison''s situation." Said he.
Little Bunny frozepletely.
"How did you manage that?" asked she.
Theodore chuckled softly before replying, "How else do you think?"
At that moment, Little Bunny felt an inexplicable pain deep within her chest, realizing how much
indebtedness she owed towards Theodore.
