"I won't be coming over. It’s late, and there’ll definitely be a traffic jam if I leave the city now. Play with Munchkin on my behalf."
I grew even more worried when I heard the exhaustion in Theo's voice.
"I'm still worried. Why don’t I get Munchkin and we'll come over to see you?"
While speaking, I began turning around just as Theo turned down my suggestion.
"It’s alright. Everything is fine on my end. Enjoy yourselves.”
However, I kept thinking of Jordan. He seemed perfectly respectable on the outside, but the tactics he pulled in secret were terrifying.
Moreover, the fact that Theo was on his own made me even more worried.
Some people only seemed evil on the outside, and one could tell they were up to no good just by looking at them. People like these were not scary as you would have advance notice and be able to protect yourself.
Insidious people like Jordan were the scary ones. His evilness was a part of him, and you could not see it even if you tried.
In fact, you would not even know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes when he first struck. Only a thorough investigation would reveal that he had orchestrated everything.
"Don’t worry. He wouldn't have waited for so long if he wanted to strike. He seems to have another reason for his visit this time." Theo's deep voice was like a relaxant that calmed me down significantly.
"Don't worry and enjoy yourselves in the manor. At least you know you'll be safe this way. I'll look into why he came to France so that I can make sure you guys will be safe."
