"Alright." Theo pickedup and spunaround." Then we'll have surf and turf tonight."

After that, we went downstairs. Quinn knew that we were going out for dinner and did not say anything. She just

reminded us to be careful when we drove because of the slippery roads.

Theo huggedafter | got in the car and fastened my seat belt. "I didn't cback last night because | slept in

the office. | thought about you all night long and couldn't even sleep. | even thought about driving ha few

times."

Any woman would like to hear that, and | was the same. | looked up to see the love in his eyes and my heartbeat

sped up a little. "Then why didn’t you?"

"It was after midnight when I finished my work." Theo massaged my neck. "And | was afraid | couldn't bring

myself to leave you in the morning."

| felt that he was getting better at sweet-talking. | wondered where he learned to do that.

"When | woke up last night to see that you weren't back, | felt empty. | know that you've been very busy recently

and you were probably sleeping in the office because you worked till late. But I'm worried about

your lack of sleep and the stress you endure during the daytime. You might fall sick," | whispered to him because

| felt a little embarrassed toward the end.

When Theo saw that | was slightly flushed, he teased and asked, "If you feel sorry for me, you should serve m e

obediently, okay?"

The corners of my mouth twitched. "Is that all you think about?"

Theo laughed and nodded.

F*ck me...

This jerk was a master at ruining the mood!

Theo drove the car to the entrance of a surf and turf restaurant we often went to. He stopped in front of the

restaurant so that | could get down first as there were many people in the restaurant and the place was full.

Theo and | then went to a private room. | did not feel like picking stuff from the menu, so I left the important task

to him.

After ordering, he asked, "It's almost New Year's Eve. Carlson invited you to go to his place for New Year's Eve.

Do you want to go?"

| pursed my lips. "Of course, | want to go."

| was Carlson and Yvonne's goddaughter. They were like my family now. Of course, | was going to go to their

place for New Year's Eve.

Theo nodded. "Let's stay in Whaldorf City for New

Year's Eve this year, then. There's no point for us to go back to Salt City for New Year's Eve anyway."

It was true that there was no point for us to go back to Salt City for New Year's Eve. Theo was not close with his

uncles, and | was not close with my side of the family. If | went back, they were just going to be annoyed at me

the whole time. Everyone would just end up having a bad time, so why bother?

The waiter cover with the dishes and | quietly looked at Theo as he fedsof the food. After a long

time, | finally asked, "Did you manage to deal with the hospital issue?”

Theo raised his eyebrows. "Did you watch the news?"

| pursed my lips and said, "Everyone's reporting about i t. It'd be difficult fornot to know about it."

"It's being resolved." | could not tell what Theo was feeling from the look on his face and he sounded very neutral

too. "I think it'll be over early next year. It's no big deal."

The way he understated it madefeel sad, but | did not want to force him to tellabout everything that

was happening if he did not want to. That was why I could only ask, "What is Doctor Lynch doing now?"

"He's busy dealing with the current problem, of course. " Theo fedanother bite of lamb. "You don't have to

worry about it. Just prepare for the New Year's in peace and I'll be back to spend twith you after I'm done

with everything."

| could only nod helplessly.

Theo wanted to takehafter our dinner, but he received a call from Quinn. She insisted that we go to her

place for the night. Even though Theo was reluctant, she was still his cousin. Since she repeatedly requested it,

he could only agree.

When we got back, Theo went to take a shower and | lay on the bed as | mindlessly scrolled through my phone.

When he cout of the shower, he lay down next toand hugged me. "I may have to go to another city for

a business trip tomorrow."

| put the phone down. "How long will you be away?"

Theo shook his head. "I'm not sure."
