| pursed my lips, feeling a bit upset.

I did not know why he was unhappy, and | did not know whether he was unhappy because of me.

Theo continued reading his book on the couch. | did not want to say anything anymore, so | just got up and

walked into the bathroom.

Once | was done showering, I lay down on the bed, getting ready to sleep.

After going walking so much, | would be lying if | said | was not tired.

Theo picked up his phone when it rang, but he did not say much. Instead, he got up and handed it to me. Then,

he returned to the couch where he continued reading his

book.

| glanced at the phone. It was Petia. | held it up to my ear and asked, "What's wrong. Mom?"

"Wanda, Munchkin is having a fever again. It keeps coming and going. I'm a little worried." Petra sounded

anxious.

He was having a fever again?

In the past, Munchkin would not have recurring fevers, not even when the seasons were changing.

| was a little worried too, but I was not in Whaldorf City at the moment. | had no way of bringing Munchkin to the

hospital." Mom, ask a maid to bring Muchkin to the hospital. Don't worry too much, it might just be a cold.

Perhaps he'll get better once the season has changed."

Petra sighed softly. "Alright, I'll ask someone to bring him to the hospital tomorrow. Your father and | have been

too busy these days. Once you and Theo are done with your matters in Limbia, please cback quickly. As for

you, don't just run around as you please. You should stay in Whaldorf City and learn how to manage the

company. Your father and | are old.

We're thinking it might be tto hand the business over to you and Cassey. You're both young, knowledgeable,

and capable. We can rest assured if the company is passed to both of you."

| never thought that they would decide to hand the business to me, so | refused without thinking. "Mom, you

know | don't like running around the workplace.

Besides, | have things | want to do too. Moreover, Xander and Cassey are both excellent. They're more than

capable. As long as you have them, you can pass sof your duties to them once you get tired." Even though

Petra was disappointed by my refusal, she still chose to respect my decision.

"My dear, I'll never force you to do something you don't want to do. But you're still a child of the Louis family.

These things have always belonged to you. You can't just neglect your responsibilities and pass them to

someone else."

| knew she was just trying to letbe mentally prepared. | made a sound of acknowledgment but did not say

anything else. After hanging up the call, | felt a sinking feeling in my chest.

| had never thought about these things before, so it was only natural that | would be a little lost when they were

brought up.

| placed the phone on the bedframe. Seeing that Theo was still reading, | sighed softly.

I had initially planned to give him a chance. After all, | was the one who went out on my own. Not only did | bump

into danger, but when he called me, Tory was the one who picked up. Of course, he would be mad. He was just

worried about me.

However, | was a little exasperated by what Petra said. Hence, | decided not to coax Theo into talking to me

anymore.

I lay down on the bed. Perhaps it was the shock that | went through, in addition to the exhaustion I felt from the

distance | had traveled on foot, | fell asleep quickly.

However, not long after | fell asleep, | was awoken by ssounds. | opened my eyes and saw that Theo was

intentionally causing a ruckus. He slammed the book on the coffee table. Then, he lifted the cup to take a sip of

water, only to put it back down loudly.

After that, he picked up the laptop and started typing noisily.

I knew he was still mad at me, but his childish actions madewant to laugh.

He was doing all that to get my attention.

Perhaps because | did not respond, he brought out a calculator out of nowhere and kept pressing the reset

button repeatedly. The monotonous mechanical beeping sounded over and over again.

How childish!

| sat up on the bed and stared at him, speechless. "Theo Grant, aren't you behaving childishly?"

How could a 30-something-year-old man do something so childish? I truly did not know what to say to him.
