Nina gave us a lot of presents when she returned from her honeymoon. Marius also no longer needed to wear several hats after she came back. Life was good for a time. He played with the gift Nina gave him in one hand and looked to be in good spirits. "Excellent, I can sleep from now on." "You make it sound as if we abused you." Shannon threw a glance at Marius after she unpacked the presents.Marius turned his gaze to me. "Sis Wan's gift looks more expensive. I want to see it."Saying that, he came up to me and tried to touch my gift. "I haven't even opened it yet. Is it really your turn?" I slapped the back of his hand. Marius was aggrieved. "Then let me watch you open it.""No. Nina said it's for Theo and me. So I'm gonna look at it back home.""Friends are really nothing once people are in a relationship."Hearing Marius' murmur, I glared at him. He seemed sensible enough and closed his mouth, saying nothing else.Shannon suddenly yelled as if she recalled something. Ma
I did not see Keith's silhouette for the first time ever upon arriving at Grant Corporation. Just when I was going to open the door, Theo stepped out. "Why didn't you come in since you're here?" I turned my gaze to Keith's seat. "I came here today for Keith specifically, but he's not here." "He took the day off today." Theo placed the documents he brought out on Keith's table before pulling me into the office.Keith had never taken a day off from what I remembered. He was always on call even if he were on leave. Seeing my deep frown, Theo snapped his fingers and called me back. "What are you thinking about?""I'm thinking about Keith.""You're thinking of other men in front of your husband?" Theo's brow was slightly raised, and he sounded a little jealous.I watched the corners of his mouth curl upward. "Oh, it's not like that." "What’s going on? You just said you came here for Keith, and then you're thinking about him."There was the apparent smell of jealousy in the ai
I was preparing to head back to Green Orange when Susan gave me a call. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since I saw her too. "Susan, long time no see.""Long time no see, indeed, Wanda. Do you have some time today?""Of course. Where are you? I'll go look for you." "I'm at the hospital."I was about to start my car but my hand paused on the wheel. "What? Why are you in the hospital? Where's Tyler?" Likely hearing the panic in my voice, Susan hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, it’s nothing big. Come over first. I'll wait for you here." "Alright." I arrived at the hospital and instantly saw Susan, who was standing at the entrance.I looked her over. "What's wrong, Susan? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing me so anxious, Susan could not help but smile. "I've just been a little tired recently. So…"She leaned into my ear and said to me softly. My shock when I first heard it turned to surprise. "Are you saying you're pregnant?" "Don't get so excited. I came fo
After saying goodbye to Tyler and Susan, I thought of looking for Kieth and Nibel again. Thinking about how big the hospital was and how my attempts would be futile, I gave up on the idea and went toward the entrance. What I never would have expected was to meet Nibel at the entrance. He also saw me and was faintly stunned before he smiled and greeted me. "President Lane, fancy seeing you here." I suppressed my complicated expression and responded to him, "Yes, I was accompanying my sister-in-law to her check-up. My brother just arrived. I’m about to leave since I’m no longer needed. What about you Mr. Nibel? Are you unwell? Or are you visiting someone?"Nibel smiled softly. I could tell he was coming up with something to say in his head.He let out a few coughs, perhaps to relieve his embarrassment. He then said, "Yes, I'm here to see a friend. His family is sick, so I came to visit.""I see you've good friends in Hatton too, Mr. Nibel."It was obviously just an ordinary comm
At a cafe near the hospital.I picked up the coffee in front of me and took a sip. It tasted a little bitter, and I frowned slightly. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Keith staring at me. He was obviously confused by my sudden invitation.Putting down the coffee, I smiled at him. "You probably find this weird, right?""Yes, a little." Although he was puzzled, Keith was still calm.He was, sure enough, one of Theo's own. He would not panic no matter what. I looked at him, my gaze full of admiration, before I slowly started, "You've been at Theo's side longer than I have. Technically, I shouldn't be asking you this directly since I've also taken you as my own people long ago like Theo. That's why there are some things that make me curious and I can't not ask you about them. I hope you don't mind." Keith listened to me seriously and frowned almost imperceptibly but quickly relaxed again. "Don't worry, Madam. Does this thing have something to do with me?" he asked. "Yes,
After leaving the cafe, I went straight back home.Caroline was surprised to see me when I came back. "Madam, why are you back so early today?" "I figured I'd make Theo dinner since I didn't have much to do today. You can go home early too, Caroline." Caroline used to live here quite often in the past, but since Nina and Jason got married recently, she went back two to three times a week to help Nina with her health."Alright. Thank you, Madam." "No worries. You hurry back home.""Alright. The fridge is stocked." "Okay." I smiled as I watched Caroling remove her apron before leaving the villa cheerfully.I first carried the children out to the sofa in the living room to let them play on it. Theo had customized the sofa so I did not need to worry about the children falling down.Seeing them crawling around happily, I went back into the kitchen to start cooking.After two hours, I was finally done preparing everything. Seeing that it was almost time, I grabbed my phone an
"Don't go."Grabbing onto him, I turned around and looked at Theo with a determined expression. "Neil's my guest. You're not allowed to chase him away."Looking at me with displeasure in his eyes, Theo then threw a glare at Neil who was behind me before turning around and entering the room without saying anything.I poked my head out and saw that Theo had already entered the room. Thus, I turned around and winked at Neil. "Let's go."I led Neil into the dining room. He looked at a table filled with food and said to me, "Did you cook all of this?""Yes. Quick, take a seat. I'll go grab some cutlery.""Then, let me help too," Neil said and was about to follow me into the kitchen but I stopped him. "No need for that. Just sit down." I shot him a look, asking him to interact with Theo more before entering the kitchen.I deliberately took my time to give them more time to interact with one another.However, Theo's voice came booming not long after, "Do you need that long to grab t
After Neil left, I went up to check on Theo.Pushing open the door to the study, I saw Theo looking up before looking away again when he saw me.It was as I expected.I closed the door and went downstairs to cut up some more fruit before bringing it up and placing it on the table. "You didn't have any just now. Eat some?"He immediately looked away from me and was unwilling to speak.What a petty and difficult man. I muttered silently. He actually guessed that I was complaining and said, "Don't think I don't know that you're complaining about me silently."I could not help being taken aback and let out a few coughs to cover up my embarrassment, "How could I dare? Will President Grant let bygones be bygones? Just take a bite."Picking up a small piece of fruit, I placed it near his mouth. Finally, Theo softened and he opened his mouth to eat it. "This means you forgive me now." I raised my brow, looking forward to his response with a smile on my face.After he was done eatin
