After all the food was served, I called Nicky for dinner, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.
After sitting down, she looked at Theo and spoke first, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, President Grant. I think I’ll head home after this meal. I'm aware of Wanda's kind thoughts, but this is rather awkward.”
The more understanding Nicky was, the more uneasy I felt. As soon as she said these words, I immediately objected. "No way. You live alone and have no one to take care of you." I looked at Theo and motioned for him to speak quickly.
However, the guy remained silent and simply ate his meal.
When she saw my gaze, Nicky chuckled. "
It's alright. I think I'll be fine soon enough."
"No can do. If it weren’t for you, it would be me who’s injured right now. I'm obligated to take care of you. Just go home when you're better. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease."
Perhaps no one would understand what I was doing, but I simply wanted to feel more at ease.
The two of us were at a stalemate, and at this moment, Theo said, "Just stay. It's nothing. It'll be good to have someone to care for you.”
His tone sounded indifferent, and one could not hear any emotions.
Nonetheless, he must have no objections now that he yielded.
"Theo’s approved of this as well. You should just stay without worries."
Under my enthusiasm, Nicky no longer tried to decline the invitation.
After the meal, I took her to her room." Caroline has just cleaned this room and prepared some daily necessities. Take a look around and see what else you need."
Nicky glanced around, nodding her head in satisfaction. "It's already very good. There shouldn't be anything else I need."
