PopularNovelChapter 158 Theo turned to look atbut did not say anything. His eyes were deep pools, but the emotions in them were unclear.
Deliberately ignoring the malice and anger in Tyler's eyes, I walked up to Theo, held his hand, and said again, "Let's go, let's go home." Theo looked atfor a long tbefore an attractive smile bloomed on his face. "Okay, whatever you say." After he was done speaking, he laced his fingers between mine tightly, turned around, and left with me.
I reckoned Tyler was not in the mood to get into a fistfight with Theo either since he did not say anything to stop us. He stood where he was and merely watched darkly as we left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a while, Theo spoke in a tone laced with humor." Were you worried aboutjust now?" I blocked his question out instinctively as we approached my car. I instead asked, "I'm driving back. Are you coming with me?" "You're followingback in my car." Right after that, he turned to Mason Lynch and said, "You, drive her car back." I did not reject him, and I followed Theo to his car. The driver was inside, waiting for us.
After I got into the car, I turned my head to take in the night view of the city. The streets were illuminated with fluorescent lights, accentuating the hustle and bustle of this sleepless town.
Theo leaned over and pulledinto his embrace. His warm and strong hands caressed my belly as he said softly, "Your belly is growing bigger and bigger. Don't go to the office anymore. Just stay at home, okay?" I shuddered and glanced back at him. "There are several things due that haven't been done yet. I don't think I can leave for now." I then paused. "The ad plagiarism matter hasn't been settled yet either." I had initially been waiting for him to ask about Tyler, and I had been contemplating how best to tell him about it. I did not expect him to keep quiet about it.
"I'll handle the ad issue, don't worry." Theo's warm hands were tracing circles on my belly. The heat from his palms radiated on my belly through my thin clothes. It was comforting, and it felt nice.
All things considered, the ad had been leaked from my end, so I have to bear responsibility. Also, the company acquisition was nearly complete, and I did not want to give that up as well. After sthought, I asked, "Why did you wantto be in charge of both the new product launch and the acquisition of the tech company?" "There's not much of a reason why, I just thought you'd be suitable for the jobs, so I delegated them to you." His answer was casual, but it felt as if he had not really answered me.
"That was an act of sheer folly from the very beginning. Do you know something I don't?" I was relentless as I kept asking questions.
Theo lifted his eyes, his deep gaze landing on my face. After a long time, he said, "Do you think I'm omniscient, that I can know what will happen before it happens? It's now after office hours, and we're a married couple, so shouldn't you be fussing overa s a patient?" He was blatantly avoiding the topic. I pouted, not asking him any more questions. The words flowed out fromnaturally. "Are your wounds hurting?" I was tired of having a ton of things weighing down my heart. If he did not wantinvolved, it was fine. I could have my peace. I had wanted to tell him about Tyler, but since he had not asked, I did not bring it up.
We got back to the villa quickly. Miss Woods cout to greet us, and when she saw that I was with Theo, she was stunned before she gleefully said, "It's good to be back! It's definitely more comfortable at hthan in the hospital. Since the food is also better, you can get better quicker too!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI had only realized that after Miss Woods brought it up. It was not yet tfor Theo to be discharged. looked at him and asked, "Is it really okay for you to leave the hospital just like that?" Theo shrugged and waved his hands. "It's fine, it's just a small surgery. Besides, Mason's around." If it was fine, why did you wantto feed you at the hospital every day? That was basically a method of torturing me. However, I did not say that out loud, merely grumbling in my heart.
"Right, Miss Woods, have you seen the box that Grandmother gave tothat other time?" I had been busy with several things/recently, so the box had slipped my mind. Tonight, Tyler had gottenthinking back about sthings, especially when it cto Grandmother, so I was suddenly reminded of that box.
Theo, who was changing out of his clothes, heard what I had said. His hands shook slightly but he soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened, continuing to change out of his clothes. I was slightly confused but did not look much into it a s I continued rummaging through the cabinets in the living room.
