Chapter 1568



"New business? Didn't Astral Cosmetics just start not long ago? Have you found a new business venture?"

I sat beside the study desk without looking at Theo's laptop screen.

I knew Theo would never hide the company's matters from me. He would tell me if he wanted to, and he would have his reason if he chose not to tell me now. There was no need for me to find out about it.

Theo reached out, gently swept his finger across the tip of my nose, and said, "Don't worry. It's not a big deal. Take a good rest and keep Munchkin company. I'll tell you about it once I've finished this."

I could not bear to disturb him anymore when I saw the weariness in his eyes, so I

said, "Don't stay up too late. Rest earlier."

Theo nodded again without saying anything.

I spent the rest of the night watching science and education channels with Munchkin. Perhaps it was because I was pregnant, my eyelids started getting heavy after watching it for two minutes. I did not know when I fell asleep.

I only knew that Munchkin was gently patting me when I woke up later.

I opened my eyes. I was covered with a blanket.

"Mommy, the show is over. Let's go back to our room and rest," said Munchkin.

I came back to my senses. Feeling sorry, I replied, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep.”

It's okay, Mommy. Daddy told me that you need more sleep now. We were watching a science and educational show just now. It's normal for you to fall asleep. But Mommy, don't fall asleep right away after eating dinner. I'm afraid that you'll gain weight and it'll be a burden for your body."

What this little kid said made me feel complicated. He was caring for me, but it seemed like he was mocking me for being lazy at the same time. I did not even know if I should be moved by his words or be mad at him.

"Okay, okay. Hurry up and go to bed. You must be tired after playing for the whole day," I replied.

I urged Munchkin to go to bed and pushed him into his bedroom first.

After tucking Munchkin in bed, I passed by the study. I initially thought of asking Theo to take a rest, but I could see he was still busy with his work with his head buried under the desk lamp.

I tiptoed out of the room and closed the door behind me, planning to wait for him in the bedroom.

I thought I had gained some energy back after taking a nap on the sofa, but I did not expect that I would fall asleep that quickly once I lay down on the bed.

I did not know how long I had been

waiting for him, and I only

remembered that I was suddenly

embraced in someone's arms. It felt

warm and put my mind at ease.

However, it did not take long before the sun came up. Theo had already put on his clothes and was getting ready to head out when I woke up.

Theo did not manage to make breakfast today. He planted a kiss on my forehead when he saw me waking up.

"Are you going to Whaldorf City again today?" I asked.

Theo nodded and answered, "Yes. I'll try to come back home before dinner. If I can't make it for dinner, go ahead and eat dinner with Munchkin first."

I rose to my feet and put the blanket aside." Don't worry. Just go. Munchkin and I will be waiting for you to come home."

I was not working for any company.

I had no idea what new business

venture Theo was busy with. It

seemed like there was nothing could do to help Theo except to take good care of myself.

Theo walked to the bedside and gave me a peck on the lips with his hands gently stroking my belly. "The three of you, wait for me to come back."

After that, he grabbed his coat and left for work. I heard him saying goodbye to Munchkin in the room. Then, there was the sound of the door closing. I could not help but feel sorry for him. It was too tiring for him to come back and forth for me and Munchkin.
