I pretended to be calm and met Nibel's eyes.
"Now that we’ve signed the contract, our next step is to develop Golden-O. Let's make a sample first. We’ll then try it out next time. I'll be leaving for today now."
Nibel nodded slightly. Keith then sent him off downstairs.
Theo turned his gaze to me after he left. "Wanda, you shouldn't be distracted."
"I know. I'm just worried..." I frowned. It did not seem right to say it out now since Theo had just signed the contract with Nibel.
Perhaps I was unable to let my guard down all at once after so many things had happened in the past.
Seeing through my thoughts, Theo covered the back of my cold hand with his own large one. "I told you I’d pay attention to Nibel. If anything goes wrong with him, it’ll be within my control. Don't worry."
This was not the first time Theo had told me this. I ought to believe him.
I nodded and smiled. “Alright. I trust you’ll be able to handle this properly.”
“It’s definitely because you’re exhausted. Your mind is still in knots after what happened with Delia before. I’ll have Keith arrange a vacation for us this weekend. Let’s go and relax, just the two of us.”
“This weekend? But Munchkin—”
“Don’t worry. He’d look forward to the both of us spending time.”
Seeing how excited Theo was, it would not be nice of me to reject him either. “Alright then.” I had indeed not gone out to relax with Theo for a long time. We could also take this opportunity to rekindle our relationship.
Having gotten my agreement, the smile on Theo's face became brighter. “Good. I'll have Keith choose a good spot.”
Since we only had two days, we did not have the convenience to travel too far. Thus, we went to a small town that was next to Whaldorf City.
This place did not have the hustle and bustle of a big city and was more tranquil. Walking hand in hand with Theo through the old town, I felt a special feeling in my heart.
His hand was big and warm. I felt reassured when he held me.
We were a couple in love, walking together down this small path with only a few people. I could not help but smile.
