He looked at me, and when he spoke, he sounded a little upset. "How am | being childish?"
| coughed, accidentally choking on my saliva. This man was too unusual. "Think about how you've been
behaving. Don't you think you're being childish?"
He was intentionally messing around and making noises to keepfrom sleeping. Was he not acting like a
child?
When he saw the anger in my expression, Theo burst out laughing. It was a hearty and boisterous laugh that
made his shoulders shake.
In all the tthat we had spent together, we had never shown each other our childish and vulnerable sides.
It was only in the recent two years that we had slowly started to let our guards down. Even though we had been
married for many years, we still felt like young lovers.

Moreover, we did not argue as much anymore. Even when we fought, we knew how to not hurt each other's
feelings.
After spending so much ttogether and going through so much, we were getting better at getting along.
| laughed along with him helplessly. "Theo, you might just makedie of anger one day."
"Who's the one pissing who off?" Theo pursed his lips. "You're the one who ran out on your own without telling
me. I'm the one who might die of anger."
He stopped for a moment, then squinted his eyes and asked, "Why did you go out alone?" "I've never been to
Limbia, and | was getting bored lying alone in the hotel room.
| wanted to go outside and check out the sights. | didn't think I'd run into trouble."
Theo walked over, sat down on the bed, and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. Then, he said softly in a tone
that sounded a little like | had wronged him somehow," Next time, no matter where you go, please remember to
tell me. Don't letworry about you so much, okay?"
Seeing the tired look on his face, | felt guilty.
He was a busy man, yet he still had to worry about me. He must be exhausted.
"I know." | assured him. "Next time, no matter where I go. I'll let you know."
When two people were in love, they would always be on each other's minds.
It was a blissful thing to have someone besides your parents always thinking about you.
| felt Theo's hands start to wander. | widened my eyes and asked him in an unsettled tone, "What are you trying
to do?"
"What do you think?" The man put his hand on my thigh, and his touch slowly moved upward. "You made me
worry. Aren't you going to compensate me?"

His voice was low and magnetic. He was deliberately trying to tease me. As he spoke, he gently blew into my
ears. It did not take long for my face to turn beet red.
"You... Find sother forms of compensation." | made my last protest.
| want you now."
The night was still long, and we did not hold back from our carnal pleasures.
Madam Mathilda's funeral was held on Sunday.
From my observations in the past few days, | could roughly understand Theo's other purposes of being here. One
was to meet Madam Mathilda, and the other was to develop the market here in Limbia.
Whaldorf City had many restrictions when it cto doing business there, but Limbia was different. Moreover, ©
he had formed a partnership with Tory. This would allow him to build his business here swiftly.
