He looked at me. "There have been massive changes i n Whaldorf City in the last three years. Don'tyou want to go back and take a look?"

Should I go back?

It seemed that it was bound to happen sooner or later.

I did not say anything, so he thought I did not intend t o go back. He sighed softly. "Mrs. Grant, Iknow you may not believe what I'm about to say and maybe even think that I'm speaking for himbecause I work for him, but I can assure you that everything I say is true."

After a pause, he continued, "After your departure, there wasn't a single day when Mr. Grant did notmiss you. There were several times when he could not hold himself back from wanting to replace outyour whereabouts, yet at the same time, he was afraid that you would not want to see him at all. Hewas afraid that you would be in even more pain after seeing him, so he suppressed his feelings foryou. When he could not hold back any longer, he would numb himself with work and alcohol.

"In the first winter after you left, he got drunk and lay o n the street all night. He caught a high feverwhen he went home the next day. He said that the previous night was the happiest he's been allyear because he

saw you smiling at him and forgiving him."

His eyes were a little pink, and his voice turned hoarse. "He's ruthless in the business world duringthe day and not a single weakness of his can be caught. But when night falls, he would get terriblywasted. Every night was a struggle to get by. The only way for him to get through it was to gethimself drunk. Sometimes when he saw me while he was drunk, he would pull me and ask, 'ShouldI go and see her? At least I can look at her from afar.' But when he sobered up the next day, hewould become reticent again."

I clasped my hands together after hearing what he said.

He stopped the car and turned around to look at me with a pleading gaze. "You care about him too,Mrs. Grant. Life is hard as it is, why make it even harder?"

I heard everything from Keith about Theo in the past three years that I did not know.

I was quite shocked. I used to think that Theo would live life the way he wanted after I left, butcertainly not like this.

After picking Munchkin up, we went home.

Keith got out of the car and said, "Mr. Grant is returning to Whaldorf City tonight."

He said those words and left.

After dinner, I sent Theo a text. It was a simple

message: [Safe journey.]

A few seconds after the text was sent, he called me and said in a gentle voice, "Have you eatendinner?"

From the phone, he sounded like he was about to get o n the plane. I nodded and looked at thedark sky. "Yes, I've eaten."

"Wait for my return." His voice was very low, but I could still hear him.

I hummed softly and heard the boarding announcement on the other side. I said, "I'm hanging u p.We'll talk after you arrive in Whaldorf City.”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, I was slightly dazed. Keith's words had thrown my heart into turmoil.

I thought I loved him at first, but then I gradually realized that I did not. The moment I knew I waspregnant, I started planning to leave. When I lost the baby, I knew he would be in a lot of pain, yet Istill lashed out at him. When I learned that he had swapped the DNA report, I refused to listen to hisexplanation and left on my own.

I seemed overly selfish. That was why things turned out this way.

A week after Theo left, I resigned.

Fred sat behind the table and asked me, "Does Mr.

Grant know about this?"

"I'll tell him."

He fell silent for a moment and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

I could see despondency on his face but could only pretend like I did not see it.
