NovelEnglishChapter 205 After he said that, he fixed his gaze onand looked atwith a heartbroken expression.
I was not sure what he was trying to say, but admittedly, what he said made sense. Even so, I was not that bothered by it.
That was because I had already thought about all this when Grayson threatenedlast time.
I looked out the window and faintly said, "It's his decision. There's nothing much I can do about it." "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to do anything about it? What you have to do now is gain yourself a foothold and make sure you get your part of the deal before he leaves. You know how much of a shrewd Grayson is. You have to be ready in case he does anything malicious." After going in circles for a long time, I finally understood what Xander meant. I knew that he was concerned about me, so I did not say anything more.
The waiter served us our food. I happened to be a little hungry, so I lowered my head and began to eat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI had not eaten out for a long time, so I had quite an appetite.
"Wandy, are you taking my words seriously?" When he saweating, Xander slapped his forehead anxiously. "You look like you're going to be wiped out by them sooner or later. Even though you're not worried, I'm worried as hell for you." I placed a lobster on his plate. "Everything you said is only hypothetical. We're not at that point yet. Anyway, we should fill our bellies first!" Everything I owned was Grant Corporation's. As someone who had nothing, I had nothing to fear.
If Theo was really going to move to Whaldorf City because of Cindy, the worst that could happen would be a divorce. I was prepared for that, so what was there t o fear? When Xander saw what I was like, he was completely speechless. He cracked open the lobster leg with a lot o f strength and angrily said, "You might think I'm being nosy, but wait till you're crying." I just smiled faintly and said nothing.
He looked at my stomach and said, "Even if you don't care about what happens to you, you should at least fight for your child. You know, the baby will blyou in the future." I frowned. Although I knew his intentions cfrom a good place, I did not like how he was being. I looked at him and said, "I can take care of my own child.
Even if I don't have much money for him in the future, I still have you." When he heard what I said, he was overjoyed and put down his cutleries. He still had a jerk-like smile on his face. "If you can finally think straight and leave Theo for me, I'll treat your child like my own. I'll let him get whatever he wants and I promise that the two of you will live better than how you're living now." I...
I did not know what to say to him, so I just buried my head in my meal and turned a deaf ear to him as I ate.
I was embarrassed, but that did not mean Xander was embarrassed. He smiled as if nothing was wrong. With a wide grin, he continued talking.
"If you don't want to leave Theo, that's fine. I can be your son's godfather. That way, we'd still be a family and I'll treat him as my own son. When I'm free, I can take both of you out and..." My phone that was on the table savedin the nick of time. I picked it up and saw that it was Theo calling.
I did not want to answer it at first, but I did not want Xander to continue talking about this, so I decided to just answer the call.
"Where are you eating?" His voice was cold, and the horror of it penetrated through the phone.
"I'll chright after I'm done." I ignored his question because I did not want him to cover now. "Where are you?" He raised his voice and I could hear him suppressing his anger.
I did not say anything because I hated how aggressive he was being.

"I'm at the paella place." I hung up the phone angrily after that. I was a little angry with myself for falling for it every teven though I knew it was a threat.
Within five minutes, Theo walked in and sat down next tonaturally. He rested his long arm on the back of N my Chair, looked at the food on the table and said, "Have you eaten your fill?" I nodded my head. I was done and satisfied with my meal.
Xander looked at him with a forced smile, and his thin lips parted as he said, "President Grant, do you thow long it takes you to eat as well? You sure are a busy man." Theo did not turn his head to look at him, and his pair of deep eyes stared into mine. He replied indifferently, "Meh."
Xander was known to have a sharp tongue in the entertainment industry, but he usually took it down a few notches when it notches when he was with me. Theo ignoring him made him want to unleash his sharp tongue, so he spoke up with a provocative look.
"Is that lady earlier even 18 yet? Who would've thought that you enjoy younger girls? You can't even eat a el meal without landing yourself in trouble. Aren't you afraid that you'll make your side lady cry if you're here?" X
