After speaking, I hung up the phone.
I did not bother to continue speaking to her. One could never wake a person who was pretending to be asleep.
I placed Theo's phone on the bedside table and went to change my clothes.
I stood in front of the closet. I was just about to unbutton my shirt when Theo hugged me from behind.
I was shocked. "How can you walk so silently?"
He laughed softly and said, "I've always walked lightly. Is this the first time that you’ve realized that?"
That was not the case.
I lowered my gaze to look at his injured arm. "Don't shower tonight. I’ll wipe you up with a warm towel later."
Theo smiled and said, "Alright."
He let go of me. I went to the washroom to brush my teeth and filled a bucket with water.
Theo sat on the bed obediently as he waited for me to wipe him up. He looked just like a child.
He did not say anything. He simply watched me quietly. He must be thinking of something.
I raised my eyes to glance at him. I asked him curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Theo raised his brows and said, "I thought that you'd be angry after picking up that call just now.”
I chuckled lightly and placed a towel in the bucket. I looked at him and asked, "What kind of projects are you the most worried about among all the projects that you invested in?"
