Suddenly, I was amused by what Theo said.
I walked toward him and got in between him and the closet. I smiled and looked at him, "So, you're worried that I'll often bring Munchkin to see the puppy and come in contact with Fred. Then, we might fall in love and I’ll dump you?"
Theo lowered his head and gave me a cold stare. "How dare you?!”
I immediately shook my head. That was how I escaped.
After Theo was not giving me that look anymore, I was reckless enough to lean closer to him and say, "But Mr. Grant, aren’t you lacking some self-confidence? That doesn't sound like you.”
"You can't be too confident in yourself. Even if you don't have the guts to be with him, you can’t guarantee that Fred doesn't have any inappropriate ideas toward you," replied Theo.
I changed the playful expression on my face and quickly changed the subject of the conversation.
"It's not as serious as you think it is. Besides, Munchkin is going to elementary school soon. Even if he doesn't go to Whaldorf City and chooses to study in Zenon, it’s unlikely that I'll let him head to Tina's house every day. It’ll affect his studies.”
I tidied the shirt he messed up when he was taking it off just now. He was about to change into his lounge wear, and I squeezed myself in between him and the closet after Theo took off his coat.
While I talked to him, my hands unconsciously unbuttoned Theo’s shirt. I was thinking of helping him to get changed.
After I finished my sentence and realized what I was doing, my face was as red as a tomato.
It was not so easy to slip away anymore.
Theo took a step forward and closed the distance between us. He said, "There's some time before Munchkin goes to school. Before that, why don’t you prove it to me?"
My hands were pressing against Theo's chest, but I could not seem to stop the flames of passion burning in him.
I could even feel the burning desire in his chest because of me.
Not now. We'll be having dinner soon," I replied.
"Don't worry. We can have it later,”
