“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

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

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

"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

“Darling, let me tell you. Rosella City is really beautiful. We should have come here long ago.”“You went to Rosella already?” I asked, surprised that she'd gotten there so quickly.“It's not like you don't know me. Since I've already decided on something, the sooner I get it done, the better. I regret visiting this late. I really should have come a few years earlier.” It seemed like she liked it over there.“Did you look for a suitable store?” I asked.“Not yet. I plan to stay here for a few more days and look for them slowly. Let me tell you, the pace of life here is very slow. It seems like everyone is very relaxed. In addition to that, there are many schools, so the business of opening a shop will be good.”I sent her a message as we walked. The parking lot of the Grant Corporation was huge, and there weren't many cars in sight at this time. The whole place felt empty. Only the sound of my shoes clicking against the floor and the reverberations of my footsteps echoed around m
