As the road was slippery, I dared not drive too fast and used more than an hour to arrive at the Louises' residence.
As expected, Theo was standing in front of the villa with snow covering his body. He had not only been standing there for an extended period of time but he had not budged an inch either?
His back was firm and upright. I felt a sour taste in my mouth.
I was just about to walk over to persuade him when Petra and Grayson appeared in my field of vision.
Petra was staring at me very closely, her face looking particularly haggard.
I avoided her gaze and walked up to Theo’s side. I did not say a word and merely stood in the snow with him in silence.
Keith was delighted to see me at first, but he was completely stunned now.
Theo turned sideways to look at me, his lips a little purple. His voice was terribly hoarse. "Go home."
I pursed my lips and did not move.
He frowned and looked at Keith. "Take Mrs. Grant
home."
At the sight of this, Keith helplessly walked up to me and looked at me while sighing softly. "Mrs. Grant, your body is weak and can’t stand such torture. Let m e take you home to get some rest."
I said, "Why should I go home when I'm already here?"
He was momentarily dumbfounded and blamed himself. "I'm sorry for not thinking it through."
Theo's expression was a little gloomy, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face.
