| had expected that this might happen before | chere. It was likely that Ronny also knew that Theo would
not have given his signature without explaining things first, so he allowed the people under him to acquiesce and
consider that he had already fulfilled my conditions. That way, they could bring him to the conference room.
"I didn't have a choice either. How could | have seen you without using such a naive statement?"
His tone was gentle. He seemed like he wanted to redeem himself, but he did not understand that my heart
would no longer beat for him.
"In that case, I'll wait until you recall your name. We can chat once you've signed it." | turned around and was
about to leave.
"You're already here. It's better to clear things up now."
| stood where | was, and he continued," Don't you have something for me, too? | looked down and noticed the
brown paper bag in your hand."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter thinking about it, | sat back down in my seat.
"Wanda, believe it or not, | have to tell you that I did this for you and Munchkin.
| sneered. "Really now? Tell me, then. How did you help us?"
| was really curious about what other reasons or excuses he would have to explain what he did.
Was giving Munchkin away to others actually helping us?
"This is not the place to talk. I'll slowly explain it to you when you chwith me."
Although his eyes were sincere, he was obviously avoiding my question.
| was about to refuse him when a knock cfrom outside the door. | looked back and saw Ronny pushing Alex
in.
"Mr. Grant, it's been a while."
| knew he did it on purpose.
"What are you saying, Mr. Hodds? Didn't we just meet two days ago?" Theo was really impolite.
"My wife and | are discussing private matters. Please wait a moment if you need something from me."
Theo had no sensibilities as usual even when he was on Alex Hodds' private
property.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Alex did not seem to mind. He chuckled. "Mr. Grant, you've misunderstood. | didn't
cto ask you to leave. | just wanted to tell you both that I've prepared a more comfortable lounge next door.
You two can talk there if you need."
| could not help but wonder if Alex would have made up such a reason like this just to cin?
"Since Miss Lane has just had her operation, she needs a lot of rest. | got people to prepare the lounge next door.
Miss Lane will be more comfortable there than in this cold conference room."
| had a bad feeling in my heart.
Sure enough, Theo frowned immediately." What surgery?"
He looked atfirst from head to toe as though he was looking for my injury. Then, he stared at Alex. "Didn't

| already understood Alex's intention then. At a loss, | wanted to hide the brown paper bag in my hand. However,
it was too late.
Theo noticed the subconscious movements of my hands. He stepped forward to grab the brown paper bag, then
he took out the documents inside it.
At this moment, Alex seemed afraid that Theo would not be able to understand it and explained
‘enthusiastically’, "It's all because we weren't attentive in protecting Miss Lane when we rescued her, so she
suffered a shock. Even though we already arranged for a doctor on the way back, we still didn't manage to save
the fetus..."

The smile on Alex's face finally disappeared this time, but | hated his expressionless face now even more.
