“Not in the mood for noodles?” Seeing that I was still holding the fork, Theo frowned and asked with a displeased tone.“That is not it. I will eat it right away.” After saying that, I lowered my head and ate two mouthfuls. My stomach was so uncomfortable that I almost wanted to vomit several times. In the end, I forced myself to swallow it.Theo took my noodle bowl and placed it away on the table. Without saying a word, he pulled me upstairs.I panicked and struggled to say, “Theo, what are you doing? I have not finished yet...” Even though it was worse than taking medicine, I had to finish the food because he made it for me.He still did not say anything. His face was grim.“I did not mean to.” I said, trying to explain. “It is because I have not been feeling well for the last two days. I could not handle the sudden smell of oil. Let go of me. I can finish the noodles.”However, he was not interested in listening. He pushed me into the room. “Go in and change. I will take you o
“You can have it. I have already eaten my dinner.” Theo pushed the bowl of porridge over and spoke in a gentle voice.I was taken aback by the situation in front of me.He knew all of Cindy's preferences. However, he did not know that I did not like fish soup or noodles with too much oil. That was why she was the one he truly placed in his heart. I could never catch up to Cindy in this aspect.“Wanda, you were the one who chose the place to eat tonight, right? You did not know Theo never eats hotpot, right?” Cindy reminded me with a “sincere” smile.“This was what I wanted to eat.” I did not say anything else. I lowered my head and cooked the hotpot ingredients.Cindy was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Wanda, I know what Theowy likes to eat. The next time you want to come out for a meal, you can ask me first. I will tell you in secret.”I was speechless. I have met b*tches before, but this is the first time I meet a b*tch with such audacity.“Theowy, the millet porridg
He strode with large steps to my side with a cold expression. “You are an adult. Do you not know how to conduct yourself properly?”I laughed angrily. “Perhaps I do not know how to behave, but at least I know basic courtesy and manners. I would not cling on to a married man nor would I favor other women in front of my wife.”“Wanda!” His expression suddenly changed. His eyes were fierce as he gripped my shoulders with both hands. His strength was great as he gritted his teeth and said word by word, “Are you trying to test my limits?”My shoulders felt like they were about to break from his grip. I fought back the heart-wrenching pain as a sneer formed on my lips. “Are you trying to kill me? I have already died countless times before. Why would I care about this?”He was so angry he could explode. His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth gritted together. He raised his fist and was about to hit me. I was fearless and glared at him coldly. Finally, he slammed his fist into the tree
The door slammed behind me, and I shrank back in fear, losing all my earlier boldness.He threw me onto the sofa with all his might. I instinctively held my belly and looked at his bloodshot eyes in horror. “W-what are you trying to do?”“Oh, now you are afraid. Were you not fearless earlier?” He sneered and held my chin with one hand. He said coldly, “Am I a cheater? Am I fickle? Am I unable to distinguish right from wrong? Am I disgusting?”The more he said, the angrier he got. He tightened his grip and his pupils constricted. “I did not expect to have such an image in your heart.”I had said some words out of anger earlier, but now that he held me tightly like this, my temper flared up again. I lifted my leg and kicked him.“Ah!” He pointed his trembling hands at me. “You...”This kick was not light, and I felt a little guilty. However, I still said defiantly, "Theo, are you still a man? You always use this method to deal with me. If you want to kill me, just do it. You do not
He looked like he was in pain. “But they did not get a chance to run out of the house. All of a sudden, the whole house collapsed, and they were buried alive in the rumble.”I was stunned. I did not expect this at all. I could not help but wrap my arms around Theo's shoulders and gently pat his back.“It is okay. The hardest part is over.” He did not seem used to being treated with such compassion. He pulled me back into his arms.He continued in a deep voice, “They were rescued after that. Grandmother hired the best doctor, but with their serious injuries, they still did not make it. They passed away one after another. Before they left, they entrusted Cindy to me.”I had always known how important Cindy was to him, but I never expected it to be like this.“Why didn’t Grandmother let Cindy marry you?” Cindy grew up with Theo and had even saved his life. Grandmother could have helped them get together.“Your focus is always so strange.” He smiled. It was a smile so clear and brigh
“Thank you for your concern, President Nichols. An outsider does not need to worry about the ownership of the Grant Corporation. You should mind your own business, President Nichols. It would not be good if the Grant Corporation was dragged through the mud because of your mistake.”It was early in the morning and I did not want to argue with him in front of the office. I turned and walked inside.“Wanda, you!” Zedd wanted to flare up, but when he saw the looks in the eyes of the surrounding employees, he sensibly shut his mouth.I took the elevator to Theo's office. It was still cold and felt solemn.Keith was busy at his computer. When he saw me enter, he looked up and said, “Miss Lane, the President is meeting with President Nicholas shortly. He wants you to wait in his office.”I nodded and entered Theo's office. I sat on the sofa and waited for him.Half an hour later, Zedd's voice came from outside the door. “Second Brother, have you considered Cindy's feelings before when y
"You're working overtime tonight?""Yes, I want to sort out these survey forms as soon as possible. What do you need?""Nothing. Do what you need to do then. I will go back first." He hung up afterward.Although feeling somewhat baffled, I did not want to dwell on it any longer. I went back to headquarters with Heidi to sort out the questionnaire because we were the only two people who had just been transferred back. We had to do everything ourselves.After sorting out the questionnaire, it was already eight o'clock. Heidi kept looking at her phone as if she had something on.“Get these forms sorted out and get off work.” I stretched and turned on my computer.“What about you? Do you have to work overtime?” Heidi looked at me."I will look through the information again." Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back. I want to understand the online technology companies that Theo mentioned first."Okay. Do you need me to order dinner for you?" Heidi asked before she left.“No, th
I walked over to him. “I thought you went home?”“Can't I come again?” He smiled and asked.I was speechless. It was true.“What do you want to eat? My stomach is growling.” He started the car and drove out.It turned out that he was waiting for me to eat with him. I secretly rubbed my stomach that had just been filled and said, “I’m hungry too. Let's go for Japanese food!”After entering the restaurant, I immediately regretted it. Theo ordered a lot of dishes and kept putting food in my bowl. My stomach was hurting due to overeating.When we got home, I touched my bloated stomach and dragged him outside for a few rounds before stopping.Back inside, he's still hanging around my room like he did last night. “Why don't you go back to your room?” I asked him as I dried my hair.“This is also my room.” Then, he stood up and took the hairdryer to dry my hair. “You can't just dry your hair with a towel. You have to dry it with a dryer before you can sleep. Otherwise, you'll have a h
