"Send me your location. I'll be right there.
I was stunned. “Okay."
In the past, whenever I said that I was out on a weekday, Theo would be able to find me instantly as if he had installed a tracker on my phone.
Now, I had to send him the location myself. That warmed my heart.
After hanging up, I sent the location to Theo. When I looked up, the smile on Fred's face had changed.
"Theo just finished work, so I had him come over."
"Is he that controlling?" Fred's tone sounded like he was half-joking and halfhinting at how bossy Theo was.
I did not want him to think of Theo that way.
"No, he's just stopping by. Besides, he's not as busy these days, so he wants to spend as much time with the kids as possible."
"Tina, how have you been?" I turned to look at the two kids beside me.
The conversation just now made me a little uncomfortable, and after Fred addressed the elephant in the room, our conversation got even more excruciating.
I was very upset with his hostility toward Theo, and if he kept this up, I might not pay any more visits in the future.
When the child saw me, her eyes opened wide. "I went to summer camp during the holidays. It was in a city by the sea, and I saw lots of marine life, much more than in aquariums."
The kid gesticulated with her hands excitedly. It seemed like the summer camp had made a lasting impression on her.
Fred kept quiet while Tina and I chatted away.
Not long after, Theo arrived. He sat down without ordering anything and said, "Mr. Cullen, it's been a while." He took the initiative to greet Fred.
"Mr. Grant, long time no see."
