NovelEnglishChapter 221 He was a very particular person, someone who suffered from mild mysophobia. I could imagine how hard it must be for him to spend the night in a bedroom that was only a few dozen square feet without any clean clothes. Yet, there was not even a word of complaint from him. He was willing to stay here and keepcompany all night.
The next morning, he woke up at the crack of dawn.
I said with bleary eyes, "You're off to work so early?" "I'm going hto get changed. I have a meeting this morning. You can sleep a while more. I'll ask Keith to buy you breakfast later and bring you snew clothes. He'll bring you to the company for lunch after. I'll accompany you for the pregnancy check-up in the afternoon." "You don't have to buybreakfast. I'll have sof the bread and milk that you bought last night. I have sclothes here. I'll go look for you in the afternoon myself," I mumbled before turning over, trying to go back to sleep.
He did not say anything more. He got up and left.

My imagination was running wild as I lay on the bed. Cecilia called and toldthat she was going back to Salt City today.
I offered to pick her up at the airport since I had nothing to do at home.
After asking for her flight number and time, I hurriedly got up and washed up. I left my car at the company, so I could only hail a taxi to Grant Corporation. Then, I drove to the airport.
When I reached the airport, there was still another half an hour until Cecilia's plane landed. The sun was blazing outside, so I decided to park the car and wait inside.
Once I reached the stairs, two figures a distance away caught my attention. He was tall and handswith a n imposing figure. The woman had a smoking hot body, looking beautiful and elegant. Both of them were heading outside. They were so eye-catching that the people around would look back at them. Sof them even though they were superstars and took out their phones to snap sphotos of them.
My eyes felt sore while looking at the good-looking couple. I took out my phone and called Theo. "Where are you?" "I'm in the airport," he answered. "Zedd got caught up with something this morning, so I had to cto the airport to pick her up. Have you had breakfast?" I was holding my phone and looking at him from far away. His straight face turned gentle when he saw that it wascalling. There was a trace of a smile on the corners of his lips when he was talking to me.
I felt my heart twitch for a moment, and it was beating fast. At least he was being honest.
"Look to your left," I spoke while looking at him.
He was startled and turned his face. He sawstanding on the stairs. He walked towardand pulledaside, away from the crowd. Then, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Why are you here? It's crowded here. It's dangerous!" "Cecilia is coming back today. I'm here to pick her up." I looked up and saw Cindy who was glaring atfrom far away. I said, "Miss Reed is still waiting for you. Go back to her. I have to go inside." "Go inside and find a seat. Wait for me." He turned around and walked toward Cindy after saying so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI did not look at them anymore. After I entered, I found a seat at the corner and sat down. Running into him here all of a sudden madefeel unpleasant.
However, there were always problems cropping up. Zedd was busy, so it was normal that Theo had to pick her up.
Theo had never gotten over Cindy, and he never would.
I clearly knew that, so why did I still care?
After a while, Theo cback and sat beside me. He held my hands and said, "Don't imagine things. Zedd is really caught up in something, so I had to come." I looked at him and smiled. "I didn't say anything. And it's perfectly fine for you to pick Miss Reed up. I'm not that petty." This was really nothing to me. It used to be something usual back then, but now it was justbeing sensitive and weak.
After 20 minutes, Cecilia walked out pulling two big suitcases. She was slightly surprised when she saw u's ve. "The su must have risen from the west today. I'm so overwhelmed to be picked up by both of you. What a n honor!"
I smiled and did not say anything. Theo was the same. He took then suitcases from Cecilia and took the lead a s he brought us out. Cecilia looked atand gavea vague smile. "Did anything happen when I wasn't here?" X
