Henry lowered his eyes slightly. "It's nothing."
He wanted to ask if she would like to be Theo's mother.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them aloud.
First of all, he didn't know how she felt about him. Secondly, although she liked Theo, could she accept being a mother this soon?
He wasn't sure.
Therefore, he decided not to ask until all the grievances were solved. Then, he would be qualified to talk to her.
"Alright. It seems like you don't want to say it again." Yvonne shrugged her shoulders, pretending to be disappointed.
Henry pursed his lips. "Sorry."
Yvonne waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. You should go to the living room and watch TV for a while. I'm going to start preparing so you can taste my cooking."
Henry said with some excitement in his eyes, "Okay."
After speaking, he left the kitchen and went to the living room.
It was his first time in her apartment, so he took a look around. The decoration and layout of her apartment were very simple. There were very few appliances. The entire living room had two sofas, a dining table, a TV, and nothing else. In short, he could see everything at a glance, which made him a little confused.
However, he didn't think too much. Perhaps she liked such a simple environment.
As he walked towards the sofa, he took off his coat and put it on the sofa armrest, then sat down.
But as soon as he sat down, he felt his back hit something. It was hard. Once he touched it, he realized it was a Rubik's Cube.
Henry frowned slightly and looked thoughtfully at the small Rubik’s Cube in his hand.
This was the second time that he had seen a Rubik's Cube in her place. The last time was in the hotel.
She said that the Rubik’s Cube belonged to a child next door. What about this?
While Henry was pondering holding the Rubik's Cube, Yvonne came out of the kitchen with a plate of fresh fruits. "Have some fruits."
She put the fruits on the coffee table in front of Henry.
Henry thanked her and then raised the Rubik's Cube." Do you have a child at home?"
Yvonne’s heart clattered for a while, but she pretended to be calm and replied, ’’Nope."
"Then why do you have a Rubik's Cube here?" Henry asked and twisted the Rubik's Cube twice.
Yvonne smiled faintly, "Did you forget that I told you before that there was a kid next to my hotel suite? I thought that he was cute, so I bought him some toys. The kid didn’t take all of it. There was only a Rubik’s Cube left, so I brought it with me."
"I see." Henry nodded and let go of the suspicion in his heart.
Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I'll keep the kitchen busy. Enjoy yourself."
Henry nodded. "Okay."
Yvonne left.
Henry put down the Rubik's Cube and placed it on the coffee table, staring at the Rubik's Cube with his deep eyes.
He suddenly remembered when Joe asked about Theo in the kindergarten, they mentioned something about Theo although they didn’t say Theo's name and identity. Theo was a child who really liked playing Rubik's Cube and he was extremely smart. Theo could solve the twelve levels of Rubik's Cube well when adults couldn't.
Sure enough, he was his son!
Thinking of this, Henry couldn't help but feel proud.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Sir, where are you?” Sue asked when she answered the phone.
Henry glanced at the kitchen and replied, "I'm here at Shannon's.”
Sue was surprised. "What? You're at madam... cough, Miss Smith's?"
After she sent Jacqueline back to her room earlier, Joe said that sir had left.
Unexpectedly, he went to madam’s place.
Did madam and sir show some signs of reconciliation?
"Yeah, I'm here at Shannon’s. Sue, what did you say earlier?" Henry narrowed his eyes.
Sue hurriedly smiled, "Nah, I just wanted to say that you went too far away, sir.”
"Too far?" Henry grasped the keyword. "Sue, you know where Shannon lives?"
