I pursed my lips and did not say anything.
When the food came, Theo put his chopsticks down after a few bites. He did not like Japanese food that much. I glanced at him and said faintly, "You know, if you don’t like the food, you don't have to force yourself to eat it with me next time."
"You're trying to pick a fight again." Theo felt helpless.
I curled my lips and slyly argued, "Am not."
Theo snorted coldly, obviously not convinced.
Half an hour later after I finished eating, Theo settled the bill and we left the Japanese restaurant.
Just as we got in the car, Theo's phone rang.
I glanced at it and saw that it was Zedd calling. Then, I frowned unhappily.
'Is he seriously not going to give up?'
Theo answered the call and the two spoke for a while. I did not bother to listen to their conversation, so I just stared blankly out the window.
When he hung up the phone, I asked indifferently," Where did Zedd ask you to go?"
Theo started the car. "Windsong Clubhouse."
"Do you want to go?" I probed.
"No.-
Theo's answer satisfied me and I let out a faint laugh." What do you want to eat when you get back? I'll make i t for you."
"Forget it." He lowered his eyes and looked at my stomach. "I can't let you cook for me with such a big belly."
I smiled and did not say anything else.
When we were halfway back, my phone in my pocket vibrated.
When I took it out, I saw that it was Mason calling. I narrowed my eyes slightly and answered the call.
