“I heard that he had been here for the past few days,” Cecilia said as she put her hands in her pockets. She pouted and said, “Well, you had just aborted the Grant family’s offspring. Naturally, he would be in a bad mood.” I was stunned. Did Theo really drink all this alcohol because of the baby? “I am busy. I will head off first. Please be careful when you head back later.” It seemed like Cecilia did not want to see Theo anymore. She turned around to leave. The pungent stench of alcohol and smoke lingered in the room. The smell was so strong that I found it hard to open my eyes, and my stomach lurched. I immediately got up to open the windows. As a gust of warm air blew in, I felt a little bit better. “Theo Grant, wake up. Let’s go back home.” I walked over and shook his body lightly. “Uh…” He murmured and turned around to continue sleeping. “Theo Grant, wake up.” I continued shaking him, this time with a little bit more force. Perhaps he got annoyed because I kept

I immediately let go of him and turned around to tell him, “If you do not want to leave with me, I will ask Cindy to take you home.” Anyway, he had not returned to the villa these few days. He was probably together with Cindy then. After speaking, I took out my phone. He grabbed me tightly, holding me with both his hands. He then turned off my phone to stop me from making any phone calls. I was on the verge of breaking down. I stared at Theo in exasperation and asked, “What the hell do you want from me?” He did not want to leave with me, nor did he want Cindy to take him home. Did he intend to continue staying here? After some time, he asked me in a soft tone, “Do you hate me a lot?” After a short pause, he added, “I did not protect him well.”I was stunned. I did not know what to say. Theo was probably referring to our child. “Do you hate me?” He continued asking me. He was being stubborn again. I spoke to him gently. “You know that I do not hate you. I have always lo

The car was quiet once again. I started the car and drove back to the villa. On the way back, I rolled down the car windows and let the wind blow against my flushed face. After some time, I finally felt better. However, Theo’s words, “You owe me a child.” kept replaying in my mind. It seemed like he had really gotten himself drunk for the past few days because of our child. He must have genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not protecting the child well. When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions. But what could I do?Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never let go of for his entire lifetime. If I insisted on keeping the child, Cindy would threaten me with her life again. He would be the only one suffering then. I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I did not dare to imagine what would happen. Hence I had made the be

“Wanda!” Heidi shouted out behind me in an urgent tone. I knew that it was going to be hard for her, but I had no choice. I had to look for Theo and get him to come up with a solution to this problem. The company headquarters was located in the busiest street in the city center. The Grant Corporation owned the thirty-floor high-rise skyscraper. The first to the fifth floors were made into a shopping mall. The seventh to the twelfth floors were full of food and beverage enterprises, a cinema, a gym, and entertainment facilities. The building had a diverse range of businesses. The offices were located on the thirteenth floor and above. Theo’s office was on the highest floor.Theo’s office space was similar to other office spaces. It was developed in a simple professional all-black design. I felt a sense of seriousness as soon as I entered the room.Although it was a summer day, I could feel a cold sense of unwelcomeness. Theo liked the silence. The few people in the secretary’

“I will agree to any condition you have.” No matter what terms he had, he had to deal with this problem first.“I will tell you tomorrow. But you have to go to a place with me first today!” He was cold and emotionless.“No, the shareholders and funders are still waiting in the office.” I was not in the mood to go out with him at this time.“Keith, call Nectarine Entertainment and tell them that I will give everyone an explanation tomorrow.” He instructed Keith before walking out.“What are you waiting for?” He asked when he saw that I still had not moved. His handsome eyebrows were a little slanted, and his voice sounded slightly cold.I was stunned for a moment before I ran after him. Since he would make an appearance to explain, I believed everyone would be relieved. I did not need to worry about the situation in the company anymore.He drove to the outskirts of the city. On the way, he had a gloomy face and did not say anything. I said, “This matter started because of me. Afte

I left the courtyard and walked from the small path that I had just taken to the backyard. I did not expect the scenery to be even more enchanting back there. All I could see were beautiful green plants and colorful flowers as if I was in a sea of flowers.The owner of this house must be a rich and elegant person to maintain this garden so well-kept and beautiful.I walked along the tree-lined path and took in a breath of fresh air. I immediately felt much better.At that moment, a two to three-year-old looking girl ran past me. She was running around in a white satin dress.Suddenly, she slipped and was about to fall. Beside her was a fully bloomed rose covered in thorns.I rushed forward and lifted the child. Fortunately, I was fast enough so her body did not come into contact with the thorns.The little girl was frightened and cried out loud.At this moment, a handsome man in his thirties ran up to me and hugged the child to comfort him. He said, “Thank you so much for what y

“Does Mrs. Grant not know? Mr. Hendrick is very famous and has been developing his business in Whaldorf City. Countless rich and powerful ladies had tried to buy a bowl of his soup. I did not expect that I would be able to drink it today, thanks to President Grant. I did not live for nothing!”President John looked satisfied.Before long, the door was pushed open, and the waiter served all the dishes. Unlike the traditional type of banquet, which was mostly seafood and meat, the table was filled full of green food, but the arrangement was very particular. Similar to the garden, each dish looked exquisite in terms of form and color.At this moment, an elegant voice spoke from outside the door. “Theo, I have been brewing the soup you wanted for four hours. Let Mrs. Grant drink more.”A man walked in from outside. It was the man she had met in the backyard earlier. Behind him were the little girl and a young and beautiful lady. The lady should be his wife.“You are Mrs. Grant?” He lo

“Now?” I did not know what the person on the other end of the line said, but Theo turned to look at me.“I will get off here!” I guessed that Cindy was looking for him. I quickly signaled him to stop the car.He did not say anything and just parked the car by the roadside. “Zedd and the rest are looking for me. Take a taxi home first.”He said this out of the blue.Was he explaining this to me?My hand paused on the car door, then I nodded and closed it.Feeling flustered, I did not go straight home. Instead, I took out my phone and called Cecilia. “I am at Humanitarian Square. Want to come over?”“You damned woman. It has only been a few days since your miscarriage. Why did you not just lie down at home? Why did you go to Humanitarian Square?” Cecilia snapped.“If you do not come now, I am going to hang up,” I said deliberately, afraid that she would not stop nagging.“Stand there and do not move.” As expected, Cecelia relented and hung up the phone.She arrived in less than
