I nestled on the sofa and looked at Theo. "Keith is even more capable than before now."
He nodded, not saying much. He walked up to me and picked me up. Both of us squeezed on the sofa. It was not exactly cramped, but it was a little cramped compared to a bed.
All day long, he stayed at home with me and we quietly enjoyed the rare peace.
Mason did not come again, and neither did Quinn. My emotions finally calmed down.
On this day, Jerome came to see me. He sat in the living room in a languid and lazy demeanor, looking a t me as he asked, "What do you plan to do after the exam? Do you want to go on a vacation?"
I froze, then shook my head. "I haven't thought about i t yet."
He thought about it. "When the time comes, let’s go on a trip together."
Why did he suddenly want to go on a trip?
In my impression, he was an especially nerdy man. He would not want to move after staying in a place long enough. Rather than going on trips, he was happier staying at home.
Sensing my confusion, he sighed helplessly. "Maybe it's because I'm getting old now, I always feel dead inside if I don't go on trips and find things to do."
I nodded. “The world is such a big place. It's a good idea to see the world while you're still alive."
Jerome picked up the apple on the fruit plate and nibbled on it.
"I rented a studio in Whaldorf City before this and waited for the smell to dissipate after the renovation. Now that the smell has dissipated considerably, it's ready for business. You can go there and take a look when you're free."
I was still wondering why he was always in Whaldorf City. It turned out that he had moved his business here.
"What made you want to come to Whaldorf City?" I asked curiously.
It would be tough for him to start his counseling business in Whaldorf City without any network.
