Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 31

Lillianna was equally perplexed as Lacey. 

It turned out Theo and Sam were cousins! 

"Remember to call your mother. She's worried about you." Sam reminded Theo.

"My cell phone's run out of battery. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to me. At least, that's what I believe." Theo chuckled. He then frowned at Lillianna and asked, "Is she the daughter-in-law Aunt Tilly mentioned?"

"Yeah," Sam replied blandly. 

"Twins are truly amazing!" Theo couldn't help but scan Lacey and Lillianna back and forth. 

"Sam, is this the cousin you mentioned working on Xeoct Hills with?" Lillianna asked with a curious frown. 

"Yes," Sam responded. 

"I see. I didn't know you were Mr. Henderson. Please forgive my negligence."

Lillianna smiled awkwardly. Terror overwhelmed her at that moment.

Theo Henderson was the only child of Vlakron's richest man, Freddie Henderson. He was also the only nephew of Lillianna's mother-in-law-to-be. 

He lived abroad for many years. Despite being younger than Sam, his business mind was anything but simple. 

In fact, he had made a fortune by investing in several foreign projects. 

Not to mention that he and Sam had collaborated two years prior to create a resort mainly for the wealthy. 

Now that the resort's construction was complete, he'd flown in from abroad to confirm the project with Sam. 

"By the way, Sam, didn't you say you were leaving today?" Theo turned to Sam and asked in puzzlement.

Preempting to answer, Lillianna timidly replied, "Sam said he wouldn't be going on any more business trips but taking me to the resort. Mr. Henderson, are you coming with us this afternoon, or are you staying with your family for a few days?" 

Sam lowered his head, noting the expectant look in her eyes. He felt guilty and clutched her close as he recalled how he had betrayed her that night. 

It was one of the reasons he had decided not to travel abroad but to spend time with Lillianna at the resort.

"What are your plans?" Sam asked Theo. 

"What are my plans, you ask? Well, I thought you would be away for a few days and had decided to wait for your return with Aunt Tilly. But now that you've changed your mind let's head over together. I'd only visit Aunt Tilly after we got back from the resort. Oh yeah, why don't you come along with us, Lacey?" After answering, Theo turned the question to Lacey. 

Lacey, who had been glowering, was taken aback by his sudden call.
