StarNovelChapter 676 He looked at me. "There have been massive changes i n Whaldorf City in the last three years. Don't you want to go back and take a look?" Should I go back? It seemed that it was bound to happen sooner or later.
I did not say anything, so he thought I did not intend to go back. He sighed softly. "Mrs. Grant, I know you may not believe what I'm about to say and maybe even think that I'm speaking for him because I work for him, but I can assure you that everything I say is true." After a pause, he continued, "After your departure, there wasn't a single day when Mr. Grant did not miss you. There were several times when he could not hold himself back from wanting to find out your whereabouts, yet at the stime, he was afraid that you would not want to see him at all. He was afraid that you would be in even more pain after seeing him, so he suppressed his feelings for you. When he could not hold back any longer, he would numb himself with work and alcohol.
"In the first winter after you left, he got drunk and lay on the street all night. He caught a high fever when he went hthe next day. He said that the previous night was the happiest he's been all year because he saw you smiling at him and forgiving him." His eyes were a little pink, and his voice turned hoarse. "He's ruthless in the business world during the day and not a single weakness of his can be caught. But when night falls, he would get terribly wasted. Every night was a struggle to get by. The only way for him to get through it was to get himself drunk. Sometimes when he sawwhile he was drunk, he would pulland ask, 'Should I go and see her? At least I can look at her from afar.' But when he sobered up the next day, he would becreticent again." I clasped my hands together after hearing what he said.

I was quite shocked. I used to think that Theo would live life the way he wanted after I left, but certainly not like this.
After picking Munchkin up, we went home.
Keith got out of the car and said, "Mr. Grant is returning to Whaldorf City tonight." He said those words and left.
After dinner, I sent Theo a text. It was a simple message: [Safe journey.] A few seconds after the text was sent, he calledand said in a gentle voice, "Have you eaten dinner?" From the phone, he sounded like he was about to get on the plane. I nodded and looked at the dark sky. "Yes, I've eaten." "Wait for my return." His voice was very low, but I could still hear him.
I hummed softly and heard the boarding announcement on the other side. I said, "I'm hanging u p. We'll talk after you arrive in Whaldorf City." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, I was slightly dazed. Keith's words had thrown my heart into turmoil.
I thought I loved him at first, but then I gradually realized that I did not. The moment I knew I was pregnant, I started planning to leave. When I lost the baby, I knew he would be in a lot of pain, yet I still lashed out at him. When I learned that he had swapped the DNA report, I refused to listen to his explanation and left on my own.

I seemed overly selfish. That was why things turned out this way. A week after Theo left, I resigned.
Fred sat behind the table and asked me, "Does Mr.
Grant know about this?" "I'll tell him."
He fell silent for a moment and asked, "What are your plans for the future?
I could see despondency on his face but could only pretend like Cdid hot see it.
