He did not sigh, but his tone was solemn as he said, "You've always known what | worry about."
"That's why I'm telling you you don't have to take this so seriously," | replied in a deliberately nonchalant tone,
hoping my relaxed way of speaking would influence him to feel the same.
We were not in the mood to have anything in particular when we arrived at the shopping mall, so we picked a
cafe at random and ordered a set meal.
Theo soon finished his food and took his tablet out so he could continue working. | grew bored and felt my heart
ache as | watched him work.
However, if | did not let him work now, my heart would ache even more when | watched him work late into the
night.
Thus, | had no choice but to finish my steak in silence.
We got into the car again when we finished our meal, and | felt myself growing sleepy.
Theo reached over to helpfasten my seatbelt, and | gazed at him with narrowed eyes.
"Don’t look atlike that. You're making things dangerous for yourself."
He did not grin evilly this time, and I could tell he was being serious.

| hurriedly shut my eyes obediently.
"Rest well. TH take you back to the office."
| hurriedly asked, "We're not going to the entertainment company?"
"Why would we go there again? You were so eye-catching this morning that everyone’s going to stare at you if
you go there now. How would you be able to rest?"
He had a point. The women enjoyed gossip so much that they had probably already caused a stampede in my
office.
Thus, | decided against it and obediently settled down in the passenger seat.
Theo's driving had becmuch steadier, and | did not feel a single bump even when we had already arrived at
our destination.
When the car pulled to a complete stop, he got out of the car and closed the door gently. By the t| opened
my puffy eyes, he had already cover to my side of the car.
He unfastened my seatbelt for me, and | was just about to get out of the car when he tookinto his arms.
That startled me, and | hurriedly wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Go back to sleep. I'll take you upstairs."
He turned and closed the door before striding over to the elevator.
| tightened my hold on him as | said, "Don’t do that. We're at the office now."
"Don’t worry. No one will see us."
| knew the elevator was for Theo's personal use and would bring us straight to his office, but | was still hesitant
to let him carry me.
Theo noticed that | was feeling shy and could not help but tease me. "What's wrong? We've already been a
couple for so long, but you still get shy?"
He pressed a kiss to my forehead as he spoke.
"I'm not feeling shy. I'm just..."
"Are you worried about how much you weigh?" he joked as he purposely tightened his hold on me.
"Don't worry. Even if you add Munchkin's weight on top of how much the two of you weigh, I'll still be able to pick
you guys up."
We arrived at his office while he cracked jokes. Then, Theo carriedinto the bedroom, where he placedon
the bed gently and took my shoes and coat off.
"Rest well. I'll be outside."

He ruffled my hair gently and turned to leave.
| grabbed his sleeve and bit down on my lip gently, unsure if | should bring it up or not.
What is it? Do you wantto accompany
you for a while?*
| nodded. | always slept best when he heldin his arms.
He had a meaningful grin on his face as he said, "That's a very dangerous request.
Think it through."
I let go of his sleeve exasperatedly.
“I'll do my best to finish my work now so | won't have to work late today. And then I'll pick Munchkin up with you
later, alright?"
"Make sure you take breaks too," | reminded.
| turned the TV on after Theo left the bedroom. After all that had just happened, | felt slightly more energetic and
thought | would be able to last till it was after working hours.
| did not expect to fall into a deep sleep before | even finished half an episode of the show.
The sound of my phone's ringtone wokeup sometlater. | gazed at the screen sleepily. It was Fred. &
