Chapter 1198

I laughed. "Have you really learned your lesson?"

"I have." Theo had no qualms about pleasing me. "I’m absolutely loyal to my wife and will do as yousay as long as you don’t leave me."

I intended to tease him and asked with a smile, "What if I leave you?”

Theo's expression changed. "No way! This : s the only thing I can’t allow to happen!'

Seeing how anxious he was, I could not bear to tease him anymore. "Alright, I was just teasing you.Look how scared you are.'

I'm really scared." Theo buried his face in between my neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'll gocrazy if you leave me again."

My heart melted when I heard what he said.

I rubbed his head and changed the subject. "Was it true when you said that you'll listen to whateverI say?"

Theo raised his head and said without a single hesitation, "No."

I widened my eyes. "You're not keeping your word!"

Theo said somewhat cunningly, “How about this? If I don't want to hear something, then I'll just haveto make sure you don’t say it out.”

This bastard!

It was very late when we got home, so I went straight to the bedroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I saw Theo sitting on the sofa and reading a book. I walked over t o take alook and sat down next to him. " You seem to really like this book. I've seen you reading it severaltimes now."

Theo nodded his head and put down the book in his hands, sniffing my body. "Nice. You smell goodnow. There's no alcohol scent on you anymore."

After a pause, he discussed with me, saying, "Don't drink so much next time, okay?"

"I didn't drink a lot."

I began to argue. "I didn’t even feel dizzy. Lally and Shannon were the ones who drank a lot."

Theo pursed his lips and said to me with a serious expression, "Unless I'm around, you aren'tallowed to take even a sip of alcohol next time."

"You’re doing it again!" I widened my eyes a t him. "You're being bossy again!"

"I can't just let you be, can I? Besides, I'm your husband, so I have the right not to let you do thingsthat can harm yourself."

If he insisted on saying so, then I seemed t o have no reason to refute anymore.

As I could not win the argument, I gave up and handed him the towel before leaning o n him andclosing my eyes.

Theo was skilled at drying my hair, which made the experience very comfortable.

At the thought of the project, I could not help but ask, "Are you still planning to give up on theproject?"

Although Fredericks Corporations would suffer a great loss if he gave up, delaying it would harmFredericks Corporations just a s much.

"Don’t worry,” Theo mildly said.

How could I not be worried?

I gently sighed and asked, "Can you at least tell me roughly how long it'll be delayed?”

“You’ll have to ask Jordan that question."

I was not able to think for a moment and asked confusedly, "Ask Jordan?"

Theo raised his eyebrows. "Whether the project can carry on or not depends on how hard he works,no?"

I finally understood after he said that.

The project could only carry on if Jordan found helpful connections and carried out the operationswell, hence reducing even more losses.

"Have you figured out when you're coming back to Whaldorf City with me?" Theo was constantlythinking about taking me back t o Whaldorf City.

I opened my eyes and said with a smile," Didn't I already tell you? I'll only return to Whaldorf Citywith you after the project is finished. Otherwise, don't even talk about i t."
