Chapter 113

Theodore had already arranged the food on the table.

“So, you want me to hurry back?”

“Yeah, you go ahead,” Cynthia said with a smile.

“When you called me, you made it sound urgent. You insisted I needed to help you with this and that. I don’t think you really want me to hurry back,” Theodore teased.

It wasn’t really a dig at Cynthia from the depths of his heart. It was more like banter between two close people.

“Come on, Theo. Are you really going to pick on me for this? I didn’t know you were going back to divorce her. If I had known, I wouldn’t have held you back. I love you so much, and you should know what’s on my mind,” Cynthia said, sounding pitiful. She lowered her head more and more as she spoke.

“Do you need me to stay here with you? Should I really go back to have dinner with Rose and Grandma?” he asked, double–checking things.

“You should go. Don’t keep them waiting,” Cynthia urged.

Her desire was plainly evident in her eyes. Theodore knew this well, and naturally wouldn’t argue with her about it.

For some reason, Cindy kept holding him back the entire day. So, he stayed and didn’t tell her the truth.
