Chapter 658

Fred smiled but did not say anything else.

Theo took the initiative to pour him a glass of wine, his voice faint yet attractive. "Thanks for takingcare o f her all these years.”

I had never told anyone about the relationship between Theo and me. Although Fred suspected it,he had always been a gentleman about it and would not ask if I did not say.

Now that Theo had cleared the air, he knew what was going on.

After a few glasses of wine, the conversation and atmosphere warmed up. Both men seemed tohave quite a lot in common.

Theo was a business elite in Whaldorf City. If he was said to only be hiding his light under a bushelduring his time in Salt City, then being in Whaldorf City was the time he showed off all thosecapabilities.

In the three years I was away, he had turned Grant Corporation into a leading company in WhaldorfCity. Its status was unparalleled, and he became the most striking presence in the whole ofWhaldorf City.

A person like that did not only stand out among the ladies as he was equally admired by the men.

Munchkin was soon tired after eating. I brought him t o his bedroom to sleep, and when I came out,I saw both men sitting together watching television. They were not talking about anything else.

Tiana was also sleepy, so when Fred saw me coming out, he picked Tiana up and prepared to bidfarewell.

When the pair left, Theo got up to clean the table and I helped him.

"You've changed a lot, Theo." I put the cutleries in the sink. "How should I put this? You’re moredependable and charming now."

He looked at me. "You’ve changed too. You’re gentler and more beautiful now."

Were we flattering each other?

I burst out laughing.

He took the bowl from my hands and said, "I’ll clean them. You should go to the living room andrest."

Knowing that I would not win in this argument, I did not say anything else and washed my handsbefore leaving the kitchen.

I went to the bedroom to check on Munchkin. He was sleeping soundly, and that put me at ease. Ithen went t o the living room to watch the television.

When Theo was done cleaning, he came over and sat beside me. Leaning back against the back ofthe sofa, h e closed his eyes.

I glanced at him, retracting my gaze after just one glance.

I did not pay any attention to what was being played o n the television. My brain was a mess, aflurry of thoughts running through my head. I was also wondering why Theo had not said anythingand what he was thinking about?

Unsure how long it had been, I glanced at him once more and realized that he might have fallenasleep.

I got up and went to the room to grab a blanket. I covered it on his body.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Having no time to evade, our eyes met and I wassuddenly in a daze.

His eyes were glowing and looked particularly bright." I saw you in my dreams several times. WhenI woke u p and realized that you weren't around, that always left me in a daze for a very long time.”

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to reply.

His gaze was blazing hot, and my face was slightly warm. I cast my eyes down and said mildly, "Ifyou're tired, then go to the room to sleep.”

Seeing that I was about to leave, he quickly grabbed m y hand. "Will you be willing to go back toWhaldorf City with me?"

I pursed my lips. "I'm doing just fine over here."

"It's fine if you don’t want to go back to Whaldorf City with me." He was not disappointed. "It's prettynice here. In any case, I'll be wherever you are."

His gaze grew even hotter as though it could burn my whole body to the ground. With the words hewas saying, I turned away and said in a trembling voice," I'm tired. I'll be going back to my roomnow."
