Chapter 1653
"lI won't be coming over. It's late, and there'll definitely be a traffic jam if | leave the city now. Play with Munchkin
on my behalf."
| grew even more worried when | heard the exhaustion in Theo's voice.
"I'm still worried. Why don't | get Munchkin and we'll cover to see you?"
While speaking, | began turning around just as Theo turned down my suggestion.
"It's alright. Everything is fine on my end. Enjoy yourselves."
However, | kept thinking of Jordan. He seemed perfectly respectable on the outside, but the tactics he pulled in
secret were terrifying.
Moreover, the fact that Theo was on his own madeeven more worried.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSpeople only seemed evil on the outside, and one could tell they were up to no good just by looking at
them. People like these were not scary as you would have advance notice and be able to protect yourself.
Insidious people like Jordan were the scary ones. His evilness was a part of him, and you could not see it even if
you tried.
In fact, you would not even know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes when he first struck. Only a
thorough investigation would reveal that he had orchestrated everything.
"Don't worry. He wouldn't have waited for so long if he wanted to strike. He seems to have another reason for his
visit this time." Theo's deep voice was like a relaxant that calmeddown significantly.
"Don't worry and enjoy yourselves in the manor. At least you know you'll be safe this way. I'll look into why he
cto France so that | can make sure you guys will be safe."
1 could not refute that.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Take care of yourselves, and don't leave unless | call and say so. The manor has a unique
security system. The people inside won't be able to cause any trouble. I'll feel less worried this way too."
| understood what Theo meant, but he raised another question in my mind.
"Did you know Jordan would be here before this?"
"I did not," Theo replied matter-of-factly.
"Perhaps he's been here for a long tand | just happened to bump into him today. I'm not sure, but I'm
grateful that he didn't take action the past few days. Moreover, | know you and Munchkin are safe since you're at
the manor now."
| was just about to ask Theo why he knew Shannon was here, but then | realized why. Theo had spent the past
few days with me, and Shannon's presence was the only reason | knew Jordan was here. Thus, it was not difficult
to connect the dots.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA slight frown appeared on my face when | realized how foolish | was getting.
However, there was nothing | could do about it.
Sighing softly replied, 'Take care of
+
yourself. Munchkin and | will be waiting for you to call." "Don't worry Have fun with Munchkin." I slowly turned
around after hanging up the phone. Water sprayed onto my face before | had tto react,
I had no idea what was going on. As my eyes shut instinctively, my arms rose upward too, showing that | was on
high alert.
However, a hearty laugh rang out.
