That made sense.
I put down my phone and paid no more heed to the netizens’ comments.
I should be feeling sleepy, lying down in bed, but my consciousness was extraordinarily clear.
"Are you asleep?" I whispered.
"What is it?"
Theo's hoarse voice came from beside my pillow. He put his hand on my lower abdomen, and this abrupt action startled me.
"Do you think there’ll be more news later?"
Seeing Harriet's snarky appearance tonight made me feel like something big was going to happen.
"This is what you’re thinking about?" There was amusement in Theo’s confusion.
"Yeah," I responded softly.
He exhaled, then lay down on his back. "You already have the answer, don't you?"
Answer...
I did have an answer like he said, but I could not be sure.
The things I said to Shannon during the day were just to appease her. The truth was I had no idea at all. It was expected that Green Orange would be affected, but I did not know when this storm would pass.
"Trust your gut."
Theo's brief answer reassured me a little. I turned sideways and leaned in closer to him. "I don't trust it. What do you think?"
"I do."
In that sense, he was having the same thought as me.
My heart gradually calmed, and I nodded. "Then, it looks like I can’t be too hasty in clarifying the relationship. I have to wait for the news to be released first."
"Yes, get some rest, or you won't be able to work tomorrow," Theo urged me to sleep.
"Alright."
