Chapter 40

Her voice was not as delicate or rude as usual, but surprisingly calm.

I was puzzled. What did she want to talk about?

I did not open the door but instead, I sent Theo a message. ‘Miss Reed is outside the door. She wants to talk to me.’

I also did not know why I sent that message to Theo.

Naturally, humans were greedy. Ever since I felt that Theo's attitude toward me had changed for the better, I subconsciously wanted more of it.

Right after I had sent the message, Theo called.

I went back to the couch and laid down before answering the phone. A whirlwind of emotions stirred in my heart.

“Where are you?” His voice was low and soft as if he were in a meeting.

“Inside the house,” I whispered.

“Do not open the door. Just go upstairs and have a good sleep.” His voice was very soft and gentle.

My heart skipped a beat. “Okay!”

After hanging up, I ignored Cindy, who was still shouting outside, and headed upstairs.

I noticed the study room door was left open when I passed the room.
