When he said that, I nodded and agreed without any hesitation. "Okay. I'll keep a distance from him from now on. When his parents' funerals are over, I won't even meet up with him."
Theo was pleased with my response and a smile appeared on his face. "That's my good girl."
After he said that, he kissed me on the lips.
Right after he kissed me, he pressed his lips to my ear and said with a smile, "It's time to serve me now."
When I woke up the next morning, Theo had already left the house. I washed up and went downstairs to see Quinn sitting on the sofa in the living room. I went over and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Quinn."
Quinn looked at me helplessly. "Good morning? It's almost noon and I've been sitting here waiting for you for almost two hours."
When Quinn saw the embarrassment on my face, she said with a smile, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Get some breakfast. I'd like you to go to someplace with me after that."
I nodded and hurried to the dining room.
After I had my breakfast, Quinn and I changed before we headed out the door. After we drove to the city center, she told me that we were going to look at some places.
I knew that she was not going to continue staying in the Zimmers’ house after she was done dealing with the funeral, so she had to look for a new place as soon as possible.
It was just that even though we were on a tight schedule, she was still very picky about the places we visited. After looking at properties a few days in a row, none of them took her fancy and it was starting to give me a headache.
There were only a few more days left till Marcus and Nancy's funerals. Since she was running out of time to look at properties, she had to stop for the time being.
On the day of Marcus and Nancy's funerals, Quinn and I got up early. The funerals were carried out according to customary practice and the burial ceremony was completed in an orderly manner.
In the cemetery, Matthew stood upright in front of Marcus and Nancy's tombstones with a frighteningly cold look on his face.
