There were quite a lot of people whom I resembled. Someone once said I looked like Cindy, but later someone said I looked a lot like Petra. Now, someone was saying that I looked like a popular female celebrity.
"You should be happy, actually. It shows that you're very beautiful,” Fred said, switching the beer in my hand with fruit juice.
I nodded with a smile. "Indeed."
This was all just a joke, so it did not affect me much.
The after-effects of the alcohol were quite strong and I could not drink anymore, so after paying the bill, Fred and I left first.
He drove me home. "Munchkin will stay at my mother's tonight. I'll send him to school tomorrow morning."
I nodded and massaged my glabella. "I'll be going upstairs now."
Fred still took care of me, but because of Theo's presence, his care for me had gradually turned into a brotherly kind.
Adults knew how to weigh pros and cons. Theo had a n extraordinary identity, and his ability was beyond
the reach of most adults.
Fred knew that he did not stand the slightest chance i n front of Theo, so he gradually retreated and went from being romantically interested in me to the second-best choice, which was to take care of me like a brother. In fact, this was the best result.
When I saw Tyler, I had just stepped out of the elevator and was looking for my keys. He was standing and leaning against the door. There were cigarette butts on the ground.
It had been a very long time since we last met and he looked even more charming now. His long and slender body and haute couture suit had set off his extraordinary aura.
I did not make a sound and merely glanced blandly at him.
He walked up to me. He was a whole lot taller than m e. "Carlson told me that you're in Zenon. I thought you’d live in the old house after leaving Whaldorf City.”
I pursed my lips and merely said, "Come in and have a seat."
The lights in the living room were extremely bright. Tyler sat on the sofa, and the lights made him look even more dazzling. He looked at me with a dark and deep gaze. "Did you go to the old house to take a look before coming here?"
