Chapter 1712



Theo returned home a half hour after me.

"What is it?" I asked as I walked toward him, immediately concerned about what had happened just now.

However, Theo still acted as if everything was light and breezy as he guided me toward the couch so I could sit down. As he rubbed my stomach, he said, "Pregnant women shouldn't get triggered."

I stared at his face intently, hoping to detect something amiss. However, I still failed to notice anything.

I sighed and calmed myself down before I asked in a steady voice, "Did one of the security guards take the photos?"

Theo slowly removed his hands as he sat beside me and said, "This is a private villa, and security here has been tight since it was built. Not a single thing has ever gone wrong since the people who can afford to live here aren't any ordinary citizens. Yet, this happened. The photos were taken so easily, and no breaches could be spotted. I can't come up with any other explanation other than it was done by a security guard."

His analysis made sense, and I nodded in agreement. "You're right, but this is no simple matter. The guards will never admit to it unless you have evidence."

"If they did it as a favor, they would have done it for money, right? Perhaps you could check their bank accounts?" I asked.

Theo was playing with my hair, and he chuckled after listening to what I said. "I've checked them, and there weren't any transaction records. Maybe they accepted their payments in cash."

His voice sounded playful as he spoke.

Then, he abruptly leaned closer to my ear and said, "Your hair smells wonderful, Madam."

How did he still have the time to crack jokes at a time like this?

I shook my head helplessly while reaching up to move his face away. "President Grant, how are you still in the mood to joke around?"

"That's your fault. How could you be so mesmerizing?"

If Theo had not been next to me, I would never have known he was so corny.

I shook my head and gave him a

l

blaming look. "Theo Grant, stop fooling around." "I'm not fooling around," Theo replied with an innocent look on his face. "I'll take

care of this. Don't worry and stay at home."

He was going to take care of things by himself again.

I did not say anything as I turned my head to the side and pursed my lips.

I did not feel very pleased now.

Theo seemed to sense my displeasure and placed his hands on my shoulders so he could turn me to face him. "Are you angry?"

"Do you think I could be happy?" I replied. I had a solemn expression on my face as I said, "It's been so many years. You should know me well by now."

Theo grew serious when he saw the solemn look in my eyes. "Wanda, I would love to let you take care of this if you weren't pregnant, but you're—"

I cut him off before he could finish speaking. "It's only been a few months, so it's not that serious yet. Besides, my belly isn't showing yet. Who else other than an expert would be able to tell?"

My argument caused Theo to laugh

as he was rendered speechless. "Alright, I promise that you can take care of this issue. I'll ask Keith to go with you so that he can help you look into anything you think of and also protect you."

"Alright. Thank you, Grant."

Perhaps it was because I had spoken too formally, but the look in Theo's eyes immediately changed as he grabbed my waist and exerted pressure on it so I would fall into his arms, His voice was hoarse as he asked, "What did you call meg "Theo," I called out. However, he was still not satisfied and tightened his hold so our bodies would press even closer to each other. "We're husband and wife."

"Darling." I had never called him that before, and I felt embarrassed as I called out to him in a low voice.

Theo did not pressure me further. His gaze landed on my bright-red face as he said," It's alright. I can teach you."

Then, he bent down and kissed me on the lips...
