Theo raised his head to look at me, a bright smile on his lips. "What’s wrong? Does the madam wish to act like a good wife and mother in front of others?”
"Aren't I?" I smacked his shoulder.
Theo let out a wince of pain, frowning. "Is this your show of it?"
"Are you complaining about your wife now?"
I stopped and stood aside with my arms wrapped around me as I pretended to be angry.
Almost instantly, Theo hug me from behind and said softly, "Whether or not you’re a good wife or mother, you’re the best in my opinion."
His words of affection were endless and intoxicating.
My anger dissipated as I turned around. "Enough. By the way, I’m getting off work early in the afternoon to go to Susan’s apartment. There are still some things I need to bring back.”
"Alright. Do you want me to go with you?"
"It's so close. There’s no need for that. Also, it’s only a few items. You should head home earlier and wait for me." I straightened his shirt under his suit jacket.
Theo responded to me obediently, "As you say, my wife."
That made me laugh. "I won’t disturb you anymore, then, President Grant. I'll go back to the office first."
"Alright.”
I left the office. Seeing Keith at the door, I smiled at him and then left the place.
That afternoon, I left Grant Corporation an hour earlier than usual and went to Susan’s apartment.
I had hired someone to come clean the place once a week. Now that I was taking away my stuff this time, I would also be returning the apartment to Susan.
After tidying everything up, I moved my things to the car.
I thought of how I would not be seeing Neil anymore now that I was moving back to the villa. This was probably my last time back here, so I ought to inform him no matter what.
Thinking of this, I went up to the door of Neil's house and rang the doorbell.
