Chapter 1224

Theo walked up to the lady and handed her the basin.

The lady quickly thanked him.

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, I looked at Theo and said with a smile, "I thinkyou're more and more approachable now, Mr. Grant."

Theo smiled slightly and buckled up my seatbelt for me. "My wife will only love me more if I'mapproachable, no?"

"Indeed."

Theo was really charming when he was this warm.

The car started, and he held the steering wheel with his left hand while holding mine with his right.

I reminded him, "It's dangerous to drive like this."

He raised his eyebrows. "You don't trust your husband's skills?"

I smiled but said no more.

Now that I had recovered, I would have to go back to work too.

The robbery was still an unsolved mystery. Although I was anxious to replace the culprit, I had nonetwork and manpower, which would make the job extremely difficult. As such, I could only leavethe investigation to Theo and Jordan.

The project kicked off again. As the person in charge of the project, I had a lot on my hands.

Therefore, I rested for a day when I got home and went to the resort the next day. Shannon was atthe resort too. At first, she would either be having fun with Jordan or with me.

Later, everyone got busier and busier, so she stopped thinking about how to have fun and took theinitiative to help out.

After returning to our accommodation at night, Shannon lay on the bed and said with an aggrievedtone, "Why do you think I work from day to night without a salary? Worst of all, I don’t even have aroom of my own."

I smiled slightly. "Why don’t I tell Mr. Fredericks to hire you as an official employee of FredericksCorporations tomorrow? That way, you’ll get paid."

"I don't want a salary. I want an identity,” Shannon said with a smile.

That made sense. She did not care for that bit of money either.

I did not say anything else.

"By the way." Shannon patted her head. ' Jordan will probably be done soon, right?’

I glanced at the time. "Maybe.”

Shannon was immediately reinvigorated. She grabbed her pajamas and ran into the bathroom. "Youdon't have to leave the door open for me. I'm not coming back tonight.'

We were both adults, so her intentions could not be any clearer.

I smiled and sat down on the sofa to read some papers.

When Theo gave me a call, I remembered that I had forgotten to inform him that I was staying overat the resort today.

As I felt guilty, I asked with a particularly soft voice after answering the phone, "Are

you home?'

Theo’s attractive and melodious voice rang in my ears. "Almost. Have you had dinner?"

I was wondering how I should inform him that I was staying at the resort for the night.

When he saw that I did not say a word for a long time, Theo asked suspiciously, "What are youdoing, Wanda?"

I came back to my senses and quickly said, "I just had my dinner. Have you had yours?"

"I had mine too."

I smiled faintly. "Not bad. You know how to take care of yourself now."

I continued after a pause, "There are many things to do at the resort, so I’ll be staying here tonight."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, he said aggrievedly," You're so cruel for making me sleep alone at night."

In order to change the subject, I asked again, "Be honest with me. Who were you with during theday?"

Theo chuckled. "I've been with Zedd the whole day."
