Seeing my expression, Cindy glanced at Theo before her gaze fell on me again. There was a playfulness in her voice. "Theowy, your wife seems to be very interested in other men. Aren't you jealous?"
Hearing this, Theo's gaze also turned to me. A small smile tugged the corners of his lips. "I believe in Wanda. I also believe in myself."
He was showing his trust in me but also praising his own strength.
Cindy gave us a thumbs-up and pouted. "You guys are amazing. Still, it has been tough on you guys. If anything had gone wrong in any way, things would have been serious."
I nodded, not denying the hardships of this process. Even now, I get scared thinking about it. "Yeah, I hope we won’t have to go through any more turmoil in the future. Alright, let’s stop talking about this. Congratulations in advance."
"My parents are gone so Theowy will have to attend as my elder." Cindy's gaze on Theo was no longer possessive now. It had been replaced by the warmth and respect for an elder.
Theo simply nodded and agreed. "Of course."
"I offended my sister-in-law plenty of times before this. I’m here today to apologize. I hope you won’t mind, Wanda." Zedd picked up his glass and apologized for his past behavior.
I knew that he had a bone to pick with me because of Cindy but I have long since let it go. "Don't worry, I have long forgotten about it."
"That's good."
That noon, the four of us completely resolved the misunderstandings of our past.
After eating our meals, Zedd and Cindy went home to rest, while Theo and I went back to the office.
The moment we arrived at the Grant Corporation building, we bumped into someone who we should be bumping into in the hall downstairs.
"Nicky..." I whispered.
