Chapter 1693



I held his shoulders. "It's okay. You can't keep worrying like this because of this child.

"I have to go out alone, and one day, the child will also have to go out alone. Do you think you can split yourself into two and go with the both of us?"

I joked, but Theo did not answer. The sadness on his face did not recede.

"You stay at home. I'll call you if something happens. You don't have to worry so much."

Theo still did not speak.

I know his temper was flaring up, but he was just reluctant to get angry at me.

Otherwise, I would have been strictly forbidden to go out.

I thought about it and advised him from another perspective, "Even if you don't believe in Jordan, you have to believe in Shannon. With Shannon's personality, do you think he would allow Jordan to use her?"

Theo thought about it and thought it to be true.

Shannon and Jordan had a good relationship, and my relationship with Shannon was not shallow and surface-leveled. If Jordan tried to use Shannon, he would not be able to explain himself afterward if his plan failed.

The actual fact was that he would not take a risk with his relationship with Shannon.

"You're going into a big pool this time. You're not good at swimming in the first place, and you're also pregnant now." Theo was not worried about that anymore and started to worry about something else.

I laughed lightly. "What's wrong with that? There's still a coach around. And I'm not a kid anymore. I know how to gauge the safety of the situation." Theo still wanted to speak, but I preempted him. "If you're still worried, then you can go with me tomorrow."

My eyes fluttered with anticipation.

"I have a very important meeting at work tomorrow, so I may not be able to

accompany you."

Theo spoke with great difficulty, and I withdrew my expectant eyes.

I knew there was no way he could say yes, so I did not take it seriously myself. The reason I acted serious was just to give him some better advice.

"Yeah, since you have work to do, then I'll have fun on my own. Isn't it good that we're both occupied with our own things?

"If you say that you're worried about

me being at the pool, I can also say that I'm worried about leaving you alone in the office. According to your style of work, you're probably not going to eat on time again, right?"

Theo immediately became serious when I glared at him.

"No, I'll definitely eat on time. Otherwise, you can ask Keith to remind me."

"Come on, if Keith could make you would still be so worried? That's it, then. I'call you early tomorrow before lunch to give you a safety report and you'll eat well for me!"

Revealing my ultimate goal, Theo also had no choice but to compromise. "Okay, we'll go along with your plans."

The next morning, I still made Theo drive me to Nectarine Entertainment.

As soon as I entered the building, I felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange.

As I walked to the reception desk, the young lady immediately put down the newspaper in her hand and greeted me respectfully, "Good morning, Ms. Lane."

I nodded with a smile and walked toward the office area.

Out of curiosity, I looked back at her again. After seeing me leave, she immediately picked up the newspaper again and talked to the colleague next to her.

As I was walking to the office, people did not notice me at first.

I looked at them, and several people were all together in twos and threes. They were whispering as if they were discussing something but did not want others to hear.

When one of them saw me, he immediately called his colleague next to him. Only then did they disperse.

When everyone saw me standing at the door, they all stood at attention.

"Good morning, Ms. Lane."

"Good morning, Ms. Lane."

I looked at the unnatural smiles on their faces and guessed that something must have happened today.
