I pushed his hand away, not wanting to acknowledge him.
Delia raised her brow lightly, revealing a sly smile. “Wanda has been really busy with work recently. I think you should let her get to her work first, President Grant. Her work is so important. We shouldn’t keep her.”
I could not help but shoot her a cold look after hearing what she said. What was she going to do now?
Theo's expression unexpectedly changed. “Wanda, what are you busy with? As far as I know, you don't have many projects on hand.”
The disappointment in my heart was growing more and more. Theo fell for Delia's simple words again.
If I said I was busy with work before, he would not question me like this even if he knew I did not have many projects.
“Theo, are you sure you want to question me like this?”
Theo's aura suddenly faded a bit, and he showed a trace of guilt. "Wanda, I don’t mean anything else. I’m just worried about you."
“I'm fine. I still have work to do at the company. I should go.”
Theo grabbed my hand. “Wanda, at least tell me what project it is.”
Sure enough, he still did not fully trust me. I laughed and thought to myself that the trust between us had indeed long collapsed.
It collapsed after I learned that they had a child between them and after he let Delia move in.
“What use is there telling you?”
“Wanda, stop being troublesome.”
“So, I'm making trouble again? I just don't think it's necessary to tell you.”
Delia stepped forward and held Theo's hand. This scene was such an eyesore that I turned away, not wanting to see it.
