Theo could not figure out whether I was in a good mood or not. He dared not to continue pleading with m e. He was only testing me.
I frowned with annoyance. "I have to wake up early tomorrow. Can’t you be considerate?"
"Then I'll wait until you come back from your business trip," Theo sulked and said.
I neither agreed nor disagreed. I shut my eyes and squirmed to the left. "Go to sleep."
Theo was not convinced and approached me again. " Promise me."
I knew I would not be able to sleep if I did not promise him. I could only nod my head helplessly. "Alright, alright. I promise. Please let me sleep."
"Okay, go to sleep." Theo was finally satisfied. He smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "Goodnight."
“Mmm."
I did not sleep well. I had nightmares. I woke up at seven o'clock in the morning and my head was hurting.
Theo could see that I did not look well. He was a little worried. “Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
I rubbed between my brows. "My head hurts."
"Then don't go. Just rest at home." While Theo was talking, he took out his phone. "Let me inform Matthew.”
I grabbed his hand and said hurriedly, "No, I have to go."
Theo pursed his lips unhappily. "You're still going even though you're feeling uncomfortable?"
I insisted and nodded my head.
He stared at me for a long time. In the end, he knew that he could not stop me. He said helplessly, "Then I’ll go with you."
"I'm not as fragile as a porcelain doll." I snatched his phone away and threw it on the bed. "I can't just stop working just because I have a headache."
After I said so, I turned around and entered the bathroom. No matter how he tried to convince me, I would not listen to him.
