A smile broke out on his face, though it seemed a little forced. "The most important thing for me right now is t o take good care of you. Work isn’t important at all."
He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Are you hungry?"
I stuck my face on his chest, my voice a little muffled." I’m okay, Theo."
I was really okay. I just found it hard to control my emotions sometimes.
I had to lie to myself. If I was really terminally ill, then I would completely collapse.
He embraced me and patted my back gently, seemingly coaxing a child. "I know. You just need a good rest."
In the next few days, Theo did not go to work.
On this day, Quinn arrived. I did not want to see her, s o I went to the study.
After almost half an hour later, I heard Quinn screaming angrily from downstairs.
The room had a good soundproofing system, so I was unsure what she was screaming about.
I closed the book and walked out of the study.
"She'll destroy you. There are so many ladies from aristocratic families, all of whom are fine ladies, so why must you choose her? You and Matthew are both elites in the business field. You could work together and advance together. Why must you fight each other because of a woman?” Quinn was very emotional.
