Mr. Collins invited me to a meal?
I asked curiously, "Why is Mr. Collins inviting me to a meal?"
"I told him about you. I haven't had a lot of friends since childhood, so he's happy that we're friends. He insisted that I drag you home to have a meal together.”
I chuckled. “Okay."
Mr. Collins had mentioned my mother when we dined together last time. I could use this opportunity to ask him about Mother.
After hanging up the phone, Theo asked m e with a faint smile, "Shannon?"
I nodded. "She invited me to dinner at Mr. Collins’ house."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "Are you not planning on bringing me along?"
After a long silence, I shook my head. "I think it'll be awkward if you go. Besides, Shannon and I will be doing most of the talking. You'll only be bored waiting for me because you can't even join in the conversation."
Actually, the main thing was that I would b e asking about my mother. I did not want him to know about it yet.
Theo did not insist further and merely asked with a faint smile, "Have you ever had a crush on Jordan?"
I nearly bit my tongue after hearing the question. I widened my eyes and looked at him with some surprise. I asked, "What are you talking about? Shannon and Jordan are already dating each other. Don’t say nonsense like that."
Theo sneered. "You were the one who said : t last time. You said you thought that
Jordan was a good man and worthy of your affection.”
