| froze, not able to understand what he meant by that in a short while.
| then saw him grabbing my arm. He gently rolled up my sleeve. Seeing the scratch marks on it, he said with a
frown, "You didn't hit back?”
I nodded. "I did, but I just trimmed my nails two days ago, so my scratches don't hurt. | merely yanked her hair a
few times."
He looked at me, a hint of exasperation emerging on his charming face. "If you don't have long nails, don’t you
know how t o use your fists and legs?"
| could not stifle my laughter any longer." I'm not like you guys. | can’t use both my hands and legs at the same
twhen | fight. It's not that bad, really, dally poured a basin of water on her, so we weren't really at a
disadvantage."
He looked atwith a face full of disgust." It was two against one yet you still got hurt. You weren't even the
one who poured the water. If Lally wasn’t around, then would you be disfigured by now?"

| did not say anything anymore and lowered my head like a child, whispering,"
| wouldn't have the guts to fight with her if Lally wasn't around. I'm definitely no match for her bold character.”

| followed behind him and crouched down after taking just a few steps. | watched as h e walked far away. | felt
particularly happy.
When he heard that it was all quiet behind him, he stopped walking and looked back a t me. He askedwith
his brows raised, " What's wrong?”
| looked up at him and pretended as though | was crippled. Without moving, | said, "I'm injured and can’t walk."
Theo facepalmed himself as helplessness was written all over his face. “Just tellwhat | should do."
| tilted my head to think about it and said," Carry me."
Theo stifled a laugh. "Is your leg injured?”
| shook my head. “It’s not."
Theo chuckled, "Why should | carry you, then?"
| pursed my lips and snorted, saying, "You can do whatever you want."
| planned to stand up after saying that.
| knew he wantedto say something nice, but sometimes, | simply refused to say what he wanted to hear.
Theo looked atwith eyes full of smiles.
When | walked up to him, he suddenly pickedup princess-style. His movements were deft.
| yelped and cried out, "Are you trying to startleto death, Theo?"
Theo smiled but did not say anything.

Especially when Theo did not explain anything when dining with Mr. Collins the other day. He kept going along
with what the old man said, acquiescing to his relationship with Elena.
After a long time, everyone just thought that they were a couple.
Seeing Theo carryingnow, everyone was bound to be shocked. All kinds of speculation would ensue.
Theo could not care less about what others thought and carriedinto his office without a crack in his
expression. He placedon the office chair.
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, I quickly asked, "Where are you going?”
He looked back atand raised his brows to ask, "To find ointment to dress your wounds, of course. Are you
planning to have scars all over your body?"
| twitched my mouth. "Go ahead, then.”
When he left the office, | lay flat on the office chair and flipped through the papers on the table lazily.
These were all documents that had been discussed in recent meetings. They were nothing important, so | lost «
interest after looking at them for a while.
