"Where's Theo? | don't see him."
She immediately began inquiring about Theo's whereabouts when she realized | would not be alone.
I understood that.
I chuckled awkwardly as | said, "Where else could he be? Wouldn't he be hard at work in the city?"
| was unsure how much Shannon knew about what was happening between us and Jordan.
However, | could tell that Jordan had protected her all this while. He had shouldered everything going on by
himself.
My guess was that he also found taking on everything by himself to be easier as it was not something to be
proud of.
Of course, if | studied the issue from a practical standpoint, | hated the way Jordan was dealing with things. At
times, | even found the way he squirmed about keeping secrets extremely unmanly.
Yet, if | switched to viewing the issue as one of Shannon's friends, | found it delightful that she could live without

No matter what, it would still be better than needing to worry about your husband's career while you were
pregnant.
Shannon was still gazing atexpectantly when | finished answering her questions. | realized something was
amiss, so | cup with an excuse to leave the swimming pool.
The server from the manor chose that very moment to walk up to the pool with the carrot juice | had ordered.
"Madam, here's the juice you ordered," he said as he lowered his head. There was an uncomfortable look in his
eyes, but he turned and walked off the minute he put my drink down. It seemed like he did not want to disrupt
our conversation.
Only God knew just how much | needed someone to butt in and disrupt our conversation at that very moment.
"I never expected to meet you here."
| could tell she was extremely excited, but | moved to sit on another deck chair because it made me
uncomfortable.
"Yeah, | didn't expect this either. Why does Jordan suddenly have work to do in France? | never heard you
mention such things before."
Given how things were progressing now, | might as well take advantage of the situation and ask more questions
to gain information.
| swear this would be the only t| treated Shannon this way.
"I'm not sure about that, but | think | heard it had something to do with the mecha competition."
My heart skipped a beat.
"All I know about the mecha
competition is that he was busy working on trade matters before this. Now that that's finally cto a close,
he's gotten busy working on something else again."
Shannon was visibly disappointed.
She did not seem worried about the fate of her family's business. Instead, she was merely concerned about
whether Jordan would have tto rest and take care of his
health or not.
"Isn't that a good thing?"

Munchkin ran over towhile | was speaking, and he arrived at a stop in front ofjust as | finished my
sentence.
Shannon beceven more excited when she saw Munchkin. "Oh, Munchkin, you're here too? Oh my, it's been
such a long tsince | saw you."
"Hello, Ma'am," Munchkin greeted politely as he turned to face her.
"Hello, handsyoung man. You were only this big the last t| saw you. | can't believe you've grown this tall
now!"
Shannon made a tic gesture as she spoke.
Though, to be fair, this was also the

entire appearance would change
estically in just a few days.
