"She may not be rich, though. Maybe someone gave them to her. Who knows?"
| heard everything they said and subconsciously quickened my pace.
| was in a particularly good mood now and did not want strangers to spoil it.
When | got back to the dessert shop, Theo and Elena were not there anymore. They might have gone to the
company because there were work matters waiting for them to deal with. Otherwise, Theo would have given me
a call to askto get back so we could go to Quinn's place together.
| would be lying if | said | was not disappointed, but | could only comfort myself now.
| took a cab home. As | had informed Caroline this morning that Theo and | were going to have lunch at Quinn's
place, she did not make anything for lunch.
Seeing that | had returned, she hurriedly asked me," Have you had lunch, Mrs. Grant?"

| shook my head. "I'm not hungry."
| was exhausted from shopping the entire morning and planned to lay on the sofa to rest when | went back to the
bedroom. I did not expect to fall asleep
instead.
When | woke up again, the sky outside had already turned dark.
| glanced at the tand saw that it was already six o'clock. Munchkin had long been back from school.
After going downstairs, Caroline said with a smile," Dinner’s ready, Mrs. Grant. Munchkin has already had his."
After looking around, | did not see Munchkin and asked, "Where is he?"
"He went back to his room to play."
| nodded and went to the dining room.
After eating dinner, | went to Munchkin's room.
He was piecing a puzzle with great concentration.
When he saw me, he quickly greetedbefore going back to solving the puzzle.
After playing with him for half an hour, | planned to return to the room to take a shower.
When | opened the bedroom door and saw Theo sitting on the sofa, | was stunned. "When did you cback?"
"Why didn't you pick up my call?" Theo did not answer the question.
There was a hint of anger in his voice. I quickly took out my phone from my pocket and realized that my phone
had switched off by itself because it ran out of battery.
| pursed my lips and explained, "My phone switched off by itself because it ran out of battery."
He stood up from the sofa and looked atwith slightly cold eyes. "Where did you go?”
"| went shopping." | pointed to the shopping bags sitting on the sofa and said with a smile, "I bought you clothes.
They're a little different from what you normally wear, though."
| figured he was probably mad because | had shopped for too long and he could not reach my phone.

| was indeed in the wrong, hence | tried my best to coax him. "The money in my card wasn't enough so | swiped
yours. Do you want to put them on and see?"
He looked at me, the coldness in his eyes easing up a little. He said a little wearily, "No, rest early."
Having said that, he walked out of the room.
I found it harder and harder to understand him.
Staring at his back, | could not help but say, "Can we talk, Theo?"
He stood on the spot without turning back. "About what?"
| pursed my lips. "Tellwhat | did wrong to make you mad. | can only fix it if you tell me, no?"
He looked back at me, the anger in his eyes emerging." No, you're doing impeccably well."
| pursed my lips. "Theo, don't you think we don't look like a couple at all now?"
"Really?” He sneered a little. "What do you think a couple should be like? We've been married for years. Maybe «
it's twe conclude things.”
