To her, it was as if whatever she said, she would get.
At this moment, I did not know where I got the thought from, but I immediately stood up and promised her, "I agree with you on his behalf to let your daughter move in."
"Wanda, you..."
Before Nicky could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her mother. "It's fine, Daughter. Since they've agreed, we'll go back and pack your things now."
She turned to the reporter and the camera." You all heard it. Be our witness that I didn't force her."
After they left, I turned around and noticed that Theo’s expression was dark. He turned around and walked away. "Come to my office.”
He probably wanted to express his disapproval and ask me why I made the decision on my own, but I did not know the reason myself either. I just had the urge to agree on his behalf at that moment.
In his office, Theo had his back toward me, but I knew his expression must be hideous at this moment.
We stayed silent like this for an unknown period of time before he finally turned to look at me. "Why?"
He actually asked about it.
How was I supposed to answer? I did not know either.
After being stunned for a long time, I slowly replied, "I... I was..."
A long time passed, but I did not know how to answer. In the end, I could only say, "I don't know."
Theo said nothing for a long time as if he was choked by my answer.
He sat down in his seat irritably, again with a sunken expression. He did not speak.
Sitting down opposite him, I glanced at him cautiously. "I really don't know. When I heard that her mother would come over every day to give us hell, I couldn't help it, so I agreed."
