This man could be very deadly every time he was up t o no good!
I stared at him for a very long time before tilting my head to the side. "If you're going to keep telling me nonsense, then get up."
Theo let out a soft chuckle.
When I woke up the next day, Theo stood at the bedside staring at me with a smile. He looked very much refreshed.
I was feeling blue and wanted to scold someone. How could there be such a huge difference?
"Why don't you sleep a while longer?" Theo said with a smile.
When I saw his neat attire as though he was about to g o out, I asked with a blank expression, "Where are you going?"
"To pick Munchkin up." Theo leaned forward to kiss m y forehead. "If you don't want to move, then I'll go and pick him up myself. You can rest a while longer. You’ll be able to see him when you wake up."
I pursed my lips. "I want to go."
I was anxious about Theo picking him up. It was not
because I did not trust him, but mainly because Munchkin would be afraid and cry. He needed to drive, so it would be hard for him to handle it.
Theo carried me into the bathroom. After putting me down on the floor, he said aggrievedly, "I'm in pain too.”
I widened my eyes. "Which part of your body is in pain?"
He seemed perfectly fine to me, looking nothing like h e was in pain.
"My back." Theo loosened his tie and pulled down his collar, revealing his neck. "My neck hurts too."
I looked at the mark on his neck and blushed.
Theo left the bathroom. After I took a shower and put o n my pajamas, I went out and realized that he was not in the room. I walked out of the room and looked downstairs, only to see Theo walking out of the cloakroom. He looked very dapper after he was all dressed up.
I twitched my mouth. "What is he thinking?"
He was going to pick Munchkin up, yet he dressed as though he was going on a date.
The caretaker had prepared breakfast, so I went downstairs to have breakfast with Theo.
After sitting on the chair, I looked at Theo and helplessly said, "We're just going to pick Munchkin up. Why are you dressed so formally?"
"I need to leave a good impression on my son."
I could not stop myself from rolling my eyes. "This isn't your first time meeting him. Why didn’t you make an effort to dress up last night, then? Besides, he's still so young and won't even remember what you look like."
Theo raised his eyebrow. "No, Theo Grant's son is very smart even at this age."
