PopularNovelChapter 1777
Back in the room, Theo sat in front of my dresser without saying a word.
"What's the matter? Why are you sitting here alone? What are you thinking?" | stepped forward and sat on the
bed opposite him.
| heard his slight sigh, and Theo turned his head to look atwith distressed eyes. " Next time, you have to
inform me."
| promised him while nodding my head. 'Alright. I'll let you know in the future."
Hearing his heavy sigh, | knew Theo must be blaming himself now.
As | held onto his hand, | looked at him with a small smile on my lips. "Theo, | didn't tell you because | was too
worried about Munchkin's safety. | thought I could solve it on my own."
| believed that Theo understoodand my current state of mind.
In the end, he merely sighed and said nothing.

Unable to bear to see him like this, | stood up, walked behind him, and hugged him from behind. "I didn't do it on
purpose."
He took my hand and held onto it. Then, he pulledup to him to face him upfront.
| could not look directly into his eyes. At this moment, there was ssort of hurt in his eyes that made me
unable to look at him.
I always thought I could solve such a thing on my own, but in the end, | still needed him to cto the police
station so that | could leave. | lowered my eyes and did not say anything.
Theo sighed again. He held my hand and said in a deep voice, "Wanda, | want you to believe that | can protect
you and Munchkin at the stime." He said these words so earnestly and so solemnly that | could not lift my
eyes to look at him. "Theo, I'm... truly sorry."
| had a lot of things to say, yet they all morphed into a single apology. Then, for sreason, my eyes gradually
becwet, and | burst into tears unconsciously.
This frightened Theo, and he quickly stood up to wipe the tears from my cheeks. "Why are you crying? Was too
mean?" He softened his tone and becextraordinarily gentle like the comforting warm sun in winter.
| shook my head and sniffed. "No. I just felt sorry for not telling you.
While sniffing, took the tissue he handedand wiped my nose. "I started thinking that if | had told you, things
wouldn't have escalated that way. We wouldn't have to go to the police station, and Nicky wouldn't have gotten
hurt again."
Truthfully, | was feeling especially guilty for making Nicky's injury worse.
"It's alright now. Everything's over, so let's not bring this up again, okay?" Theo's gentle tone was comforting me.
Thinking that he had a busy day and
how he even had to comfortat night, | quickly stopped crying. "Okay,
but I still feel regretful. If | hadn't
allowed Nicky to go in there in my
stead, she wouldn't have ended up in
this state."

Theo paused, lowered his head, and asked me, "She was the one who suggested it?"
"Yeah. She was worried that | might get hurt while pregnant, so she cup with the idea. We have to thank
her, Theo.
Nicky's savedtwice now."
"Okay. I'll follow your lead however you wish to show your gratitude toward her." Theo smiled slightly.
| wiped off the last drop of tears on my face and looked up to ponder. "Do you know her birthday? | remember
she toldit was coming up soon, but | don't know the exact date."
"That's not difficult to find out. I'll just have to look at her employee profile."
"Then I'll have to trouble you with that. I'll plan something and make sure she has an unforgettable birthday. Will
that be a good idea?" Joyous occasions would often make one forget about their worries.
Perhaps seeing that | was regaining a smile on my face, Theo did not try to stopand merely agreed. "Mm. It's
quite a good idea. We'll do it according to your wishes."
"Okay!"
