After listening to my explanation, Theo furrowed his brows. I knew what he meant by that. He did not want me to keep Cindy around just because of this.
I reached out to smoothen out his eyebrows. "Don’t worry. She has a new target now and will never treat me like a stumbling block again.”
"What do you mean?” Theo smiled faintly. I guessed that from his perspective, this was an extremely dangerous thing.
He had a hard time getting rid of Cindy before this, only for me to put her next to him for work again.
His biggest concern right now was still the hard-earned baby in my belly.
"Do you know why she insisted on learning to walk in the hospital today? It's all because of Zedd."
Theo had something in mind.
"I went to her ward today, and Nadia was blabbering on and on in front of her so that Cindy wouldn’t interfere in her relationship with Zedd. I think Cindy really is jealous this time around."
I replied to Theo with a question, "She's already jealous of someone else. Will she still come to cling to you?"
This should have put Theo’s mind at ease, but half a second later, he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "So you're saying that I'm old and senile?"
I bit my lip to forcefully suppress my laughter as I did not expect Theo to use such adjectives. "I never said that." I knew that he wanted me to comfort him, but I wanted to tease him instead.
"Plus, you've been working overtime until late at night for two nights in a row. I'm worried that your hair will start falling out," I said while proactively looking at the top of his head.
As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I was pinned down onto the bed by him. He carefully protected my head and waist, but his body was pressed against mine.
"In that case, let’s check tonight, shall we?" After that, his large hands started to become restless. I could feel my body temperature gradually rising, but I was worried about the baby as well.
We were in the early stages of pregnancy, after all, so the risk was very high.
