At this moment, Little Bunny didn't know what to say. Theodore had used his influence for her, and she couldn't find the words to thank him enough. She was conflicted because she didn't want to ruin Addison's career, but at the same time, she felt like she had done something terrible to Theodore.
As they sat quietly at the dinner table, Theodore could sense her emotions shifting. He knew that he had gone above and beyond for her and hoped that it would make a difference in how she saw him.
While eating his meal, Theodore said with a hint of playfulness in his voice, "From now on, you should stick with me and not think about other men."
He meant that he helped her because he wanted her for himself. This made Little Bunny feel better because it gave her some balance in their relationship. At least, now she knew there was a purpose behind his actions rather than just being selfless.
She quickly nodded in agreement saying, "I promise I won't leave you as long as you don't push me away."
"Good." Replied Theodore.
He wasn't sure if he should be happy or not about this situation but ultimately, he had Little Bunny by his side.
The next day Addison was released from custody due to lack of evidence against him. The official explanation given by authorities stated that Addison had been set up while under the influence of drugs, which caused him to test positive during detention. After several days of observation, it became clear he did not have an addiction problem nor any prior drug use history. Therefore, no charges were filed against him.
This news caused quite a stir online as those who previously accused Addison were forced into silence after being proven wrong publicly. His reputation which once suffered greatly had now been restored even more so than before. The public was calling for apologies owed towards Addison.
Upon release from jail, one of the first things on Addison's mind was calling Little Bunny.
Little Bunny didn't want to put him though, but since she intended to explain thing clear with him so she finally answered the call.
"Hi, Addison."
"Little Bunny! I'm out!"
"I saw the news."
"Thank you. Was it Theodore..."
"We shouldn't talk about this anymore." Little Bunny interrupted him.
It was a violation, and it was best not to bring it up again.
"Okay," Addison understood. He just wanted to express his gratitude, which was genuine. In fact, he also wanted to apologize. If he hadn't intentionally mentioned it that night, Little Bunny wouldn't have gone to do drugs or helped him in the first place. He had taken advantage of her kindness.
"Don't call me again in the future." Little Bunny said bluntly.
"Is this because of Theodore's condition?" Addison asked.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I want to be with Theodore."
"He forced you into this." Addison insisted, feeling even more guilty now. If it weren't for his own career advancement, she wouldn't have been ruined like this. In fact, he regretted being released today; he had been brainwashed by Yuna, his agent.
"No, he's nice to me."
She hung up the phone feeling a bit disappointed. She suddenly wanted to cook for Theodore and eat with him. Last night he ate a lot of her homemade spicy food, which made her suffer from pepper fumes during cooking. But seeing how happy it made him made everything worth it.
"We can leave now." The agent said to her.
Originally there was supposed to be a dinner party in the evening but Little Bunny said she had something else to do with Theodore. Her agent didn't dare to stop her and immediately took her back.
In the car, the agent couldn't help asking, "Are you okay with Theodore?"
"What?" Little Bunny was confused.
"Theodore got Addison out, didn't he?"
Little Bunny remained silent.
"You begged for this with Theodore." The agent asked again.
"I used to think that maybe you and Theodore were... I used to think he isn't serious with you, just like how he treats others. But now I feel like it's not like that anymore. Theodore helped you so much and still stayed with you. Maybe he has no feelings for you, just like he wants possession of women as men do. So satisfying your needs is enough. Or maybe he loves you so much that he is willing to suppress all his emotions just to be with you."
"Don't say any more," Little Bunny actually didn't want others talking about her relationship with Theodore. "Theodore and I are still like before, not what everyone thinks."
"Nah, now I think he loves you too much."
