Chapter 1655



A chuckle rang out. "What's wrong? Did you meet couples displaying their affection for each other at the manor?"

He was cracking jokes, but I could not bring myself to feel happy.

"No. I just want to see you."

Theo seemed to sense my odd emotions and replied solemnly, "Alright. Ask Keith to bring you guys over. I'll wait for you at the hotel."

I got into a car with Munchkin after leaving the manor's grounds. As expected, the little guy fell asleep during the journey.

He carefully held a takeaway box the manor had provided in his arms. Even though he had fallen asleep, he did not forget to hold the box steady.

I fondled his fair, soft, and tiny hand. I felt miserable when I thought of Theo, whom I would see very soon.

This happiness had been hard to achieve, but 1 did not feel any bit of enjoyment toward it. Instead, I felt more worried and fearful.

I did not know what was happening to me either.

It happened to be the evening rush hour when we arrived in the city. Traffic was slightly congested, but at least the car could still make its way forward. That might not be too bad for those who drove, and in fact, some might even view it as a blessing in disguise. However, my current emotions made all this difficult for me to comprehend.

I felt like this traffic jam would make me lose everything.

I was so scared by the thoughts that had formed in my mind that I did not dare continue my train of thought. All I could do was pray that traffic would ease up as soon as possible so I could meet Theo soon.

Finally, after a nearly 20-minute traffic jam, I arrived at the hotel.

Keith drove off to park the car while I got out of the car with Munchkin.

When the bellhop saw that

Munchkin was fast asleep, he immediately retrieved a stroller, placed the little guy in the stroller, and helped me push the stroller until we arrived at the room. That helped conserve a lot of my energy.

Most importantly, I would probably have already arrived at the room if I needed to wait for Keith to come over and pick up the child.

I did not say anything, and Theo carried Munchkin into the room when he noticed the little guy was fast asleep.

When Theo finished tucking Munchkin in, he turned to look at me. I was still standing in the living room with a dazed expression on my face.

I stared at Theo, who was standing right in front of me, but I did not make a move.

He walked up to me and took my hand. "What's wrong? Did you get frightened?"

I embraced him. "I don't know why either. I was just scared. I didn't know what Jordan might do to you,

and I was scared that I would never get to see you again after this

holiday."

I sobbed like a child and could not even form logical, coherent thoughts. All I could do was tell him everything that was on my mind.

Theo seemed more relaxed when he finished listening to me speak. His hold on me also became much gentler.

In a soft voice, he said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm alright. He won't attack me here since my life is not what he wants. He won't touch me unless he has no other choice."

I did not feel reassured by what he said. In fact, I felt myself becoming even more anxious.

Feeling somewhat angry, I let go of his neck so I could glare at him. I was not expecting Theo's smile to grow even wider when I met his gaze.

"Alright, I was joking. Don't be mad. But it's also true that he would've made a move a long time ago if he truly wanted me dead. Why would he have taken the trouble to wait unti was in France? You know the sort of person he is too.

"He's after fame, and robbing me of my life won't help him at all. There's no need for you to worry."
