A chuckle rang out. "What's wrong? Did you meet couples displaying their affection for each other at the

manor?"

He was cracking jokes, but | could not bring myself to feel happy.

"No. | just want to see you."

Theo seemed to sense my odd emotions and replied solemnly, "Alright. Ask Keith to bring you guys over. I'll wait

for you at the hotel."

| got into a car with Munchkin after leaving the manor's grounds. As expected, the little guy fell asleep during the

journey.

He carefully held a takeaway box the manor had provided in his arms. Even though he had fallen asleep, he did

not forget to hold the box steady.

| fondled his fair, soft, and tiny hand. | felt miserable when | thought of Theo, whom | would see very soon.

This happiness had been hard to achieve, but 1 did not feel any bit of enjoyment toward it. Instead, | felt more

worried and fearful.

| did not know what was happening toeither.

It happened to be the evening rush hour when we arrived in the city. Traffic was slightly congested, but at least

the car could still make its way forward. That might not be too bad for those who drove, and in fact, smight

even view it as a blessing in disguise. However, my current emotions made all this difficult forto

comprehend.

| felt like this traffic jam would makelose everything.

| was so scared by the thoughts that had formed in my mind that | did not dare continue my train of thought. All |

could do was pray that traffic would ease up as soon as possible so | could meet Theo soon.

Finally, after a nearly 20-minute traffic jam, | arrived at the hotel.

Keith drove off to park the car while | got out of the car with Munchkin.

When the bellhop saw that

Munchkin was fast asleep, he immediately retrieved a stroller, placed the little guy in the stroller, and helped me

push the stroller until we arrived at the room. That helped conserve a lot of my energy.

Most importantly, | would probably have already arrived at the room if | needed to wait for Keith to cover

and pick up the child.

I did not say anything, and Theo carried Munchkin into the room when he noticed the little guy was fast asleep.

When Theo finished tucking Munchkin in, he turned to look at me. | was still standing in the living room with a

dazed expression on my face.

| stared at Theo, who was standing right in front of me, but I did not make a move.

He walked up toand took my hand. "What's wrong? Did you get frightened?"

| embraced him. "I don't know why either. | was just scared. | didn't know what Jordan might do to you,

and | was scared that | would never get to see you again after this

holiday."

| sobbed like a child and could not even form logical, coherent thoughts. All I could do was tell him everything

that was on my mind.

Theo seemed more relaxed when he finished listening tospeak. His hold onalso becmuch gentler.

In a soft voice, he said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm alright. He won't attackhere since my life is not what

he wants. He won't touchunless he has no other choice."

| did not feel reassured by what he said. In fact, | felt myself becoming even more anxious.

Feeling somewhat angry, | let go of his neck so I could glare at him. | was not expecting Theo's smile to grow

even wider when | met his gaze.

"Alright, | was joking. Don't be mad. But it's also true that he would've made a move a long tago if he truly

wanteddead. Why would he have taken the trouble to wait unti was in France? You know the sort of person

he is too.

"He's after fame, and robbingof my life won't help him at all. There's no need for you to worry."
