After all I said, he merely looked at me with his deep, dark eyes. It was hard to tell what he was currently feeling inside.
I thought he was mad and helplessly said, "Theo, you can't be so petty."
He smiled, his gaze falling on my face. A smile crept u p his brows. "What should I do to not seem so petty to you?"
I knew after seeing his behavior that he was intentionally teasing me, so I could not help but glare a t him angrily. I did not want to speak to him anymore.
I got up to leave, but he pulled me into his lap and encircled me in his arms. There was a chuckle in his voice. "Let them handle their own affairs. We’ll live our own lives, okay?"
Tyler was family to me, after all. I could not bring myself to watch him walk down the path of regret.
"Susan is a good woman. I'm afraid Tyler will miss out on her," I said worriedly while looking at Theo.
Theo lowered his head to kiss my forehead. "Since you couldn't persuade him, what else could you possibly d o?" "Should I tell Carlson?" I was unsure either. "If Carlson
learns about this, then he’ll make Tyler marry Susan."
Tyler would listen to Carlson and Yvonne.
He frowned. "You keep saying that Susan is a good woman but do you really understand her? Do you know anything about her identity and her past?"
I froze.
Theo helplessly smiled. "You know as well that Carlson and Yvonne didn't take you in as their goddaughter without making background checks. The Schumans value innocence, and you have a clean background. None of your identities are unseemly, but that might not be the case with Susan."
After a pause, he held my hand and our fingers intertwined. He continued, "Wanda, Susan may seem like an elegant and proper lady to you. You think she's in love with Tyler. She's also carrying his child.
"Therefore, you think that Tyler will not meet anyone better for him. But there are many things out there that can't be seen on the surface. If what you see is false, then you'll risk hurting Tyler instead.”
Was he asking me to get to know Susan first?
