"Of course not. But if you behave badly, it's hard to say." I teased deliberately while winking.
The irritable Shannon actually jumped up. I could imagine her expression now. "I knew it, you’re someone who’s out with the old and in with the new!’
I smiled slowly and said, "Don't take it seriously, okay? I'm taking a shower now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, I finished my bath, put on my pajamas, and opened the door.
Theo turned his gaze toward me as soon as I opened the door. "I thought you’d fallen asleep."
"I was talking to Shannon on the phone, so it took a while," I explained as I climbed into bed.
Theo looked down at me. "Did she also talk to you about Delia?"
"No, she was just worried that I’d ditch her for a new friend. It’s nothing."
"What I said earlier—"
Before Theo could finish speaking, I interrupted him, "I understand. I’ll be careful. Don’t worry, it's late, and I want to sleep. Good night."
After that, I turned off the small light.
I closed my eyes first, vaguely feeling that a long time seemed to have passed before Theo fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Theo had gotten up early again.
He seemed to have a lot of work at the company recently.
I thought to myself as I went downstairs after washing up.
"Madam, let's have breakfast."
"Alright."
"Madam, you have to tell sir that no matter how busy he is at work, he still has to eat breakfast,” Caroline looked at me and said earnestly.
Looking up at her, I said, "Theo didn’t eat?”
"No, he didn’t.”
