He paused and halted his footsteps. His bottomless eyes tinged with icy coldness.
"Wanda, who are you talking to?” Cecilia heard noises and asked.
"Someone came to check on the gas." After I said that, I raised my hands and pushed Theo out of the door before closing it.
He raised his brows, and I saw anger in his icy-cold expression. It was probably the first time he was pushed out of the door.
"It's late. What's the matter?" I ignored his unhappiness and asked.
He stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets, fixing his gaze on me. There was no expression on his face. It took him a long time to finally speak. "I came t o bring you home.”
I was depressed, but it was not the time to fight with each other. I lowered my voice and spoke softly," Didn't I tell you that I’ll be staying here for a while? Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby."
"And I've told you, you can only stay at the villa until the baby is born. At least there's someone at home who can take care of you.” He would not budge. He
leaned on the wall and gave me that look, which showed he would not stop until he got what he wanted.
"Theo Grant!" I yelled angrily, "Can't you understand the human language? Can’t you let me cool down for a while?"
"We have a big house. You won’t be disturbed. And there’s Miss Woods to take care of you."
I...
He looked at me and continued to say, "If you insist on staying here, I'll have to move in as well."
He was saying these words in a serious tone. It was neither a threat nor a joke.
I was speechless.
I had no choice but to compromise. I looked at him and said, "Fine, I promise you that I'll go back tomorrow, alright? Let me stay here for one night, okay?"
He nodded his head gently.
I let out a sigh of relief and turned around. When I was about to enter the house, his voice came from behind." I’ll stay here and go back tomorrow as well."
"Theo, you’re doing it on purpose, right?" I was furious. I could not help but raise my voice, and the echo was loud.
"Yes. So you’d better come back with me right now," h e said firmly.
