earlier, and since I'm already awake, | don’t plan to go back to sleep anymore." Shannon sounded a bit lazy.
"Do you want to join us for lunch this afternoon, then?"
If Jordan was not around, Shannon was likely to skip lunch out of laziness.
"No." Shannon refused decisively. "It's Saturday today. That iceberg is probably at home, right? I'm more afraid to
see him, so I'll pass. I'll have lunch in the mall."
Iceberg?
It seemed like an apt description.

| was a little surprised. Theo never read books like this. Keith must have purchased the wrong book.
| sat down on the sofa and started reading the book.
The author of this book grew up in a small town, so the book was a record of sof the things that had

After saying that, | got up and was ready to leave.
Not long ago, | was still thinking about signing the divorce papers with Theo when we were free. Now, we were
stuck together like glue. Fate was truly an inscrutable thing.
"Where are you going?" Theo wrapped his arms around my waist, not allowingto leave.
| sat down on his lap and said with a smirk, "Don't you want to have lunch?" "I'd like to have you." Theo rubbed
his face against my neck. "You smell so good."
My face blushed terribly.
Did this man not know how to control himself?
"Alright, I'll stop messing with you." Seeingstruggle, Theo said with a smile, "I'll ask Keith to bring you lunch.
