He would not hesitate to do anything to achieve his goal. Therefore, I was worried that he would hurt Shannon.
Theo put the oatmeal he had blown cold in front of me and mildly said, "Have some oatmeal. It’s not hot anymore."
He took away the bowl of oatmeal in front of me after saying that.
Warmth filled my heart, and I could not help but smile.
I wanted to ask him something else at first, but he stopped me when I was just about to speak. "Finish your food before you say anything."
No conversing at the dining table.
He had always been like that, and I was already used to it too. I quietly ate my oatmeal.
After finishing my oatmeal, I retreated to my bedroom to change my clothes. When I was done changing my clothes, I went to the entrance hallway to put on my shoes.
I was a little slow at putting on my shoes, so Theo went to the garage to drive the car out first.
Just as I was about to finish putting on my shoes, the phone in my bag started ringing.
When I took it out and saw that it was from Amelia's mother, I quickly answered it. " Ma'am, how have you guys been?"
Nobody spoke on the other end of the phone for a long time. Even with a phone between us, the atmosphere felt strangely solemn.
Amelia's mother took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Sky passed away yesterday, Mrs. Grant. He said that he missed his mommy before he left. We brought him back to Whaldorf City today. There aren't many friends and relatives around us. You’re the only one who cared deeply for him when he was still alive, so if you have time, we hope you can come over to see Sky off for the last time."
I blanked out after hearing those words. Theo had already driven the car out of the garage. He waved at me, but I had no strength to even take a step.
Life was unpredictable.
