Chapter 282 I was a little lost in thought and could not help but recall Cindy's words when she said that my child would also be her child. Now that she had her own child, what were her words supposed to mean? After getting in the car, I kept thinking about this incident and felt suffocated inside. I looked at Miss Zuri and asked, "How do you know Miss Reed?" Miss Zuri froze, then asked, "You mean Miss Louis? I just got to know her. I used to work in the Louises so when Miss Louis chome, I was put in charge of taking care of her. Later, they heard that Mr. Grant was coming to Whaldorf City and was looking for a caretaker, so Miss Louis recommendedto take care of you because I'm experienced." "Cindy recommended you?" I froze. "Does Theo know this?" "I'm not sure, but Miss Louis did not sendhere directly. She toldto go to the recruitment agency to go through the procedures before coming to your house." I felt my heart clench.

Miss Zuri did not seem to notice it and continued, "It'll be Miss Louis' birthday soon. I heard that the party will be particularly grand this tbecause they'll be celebrating the family's reunion too. All the distinguished figures and gentries in Whaldorf City will attend. I'm sure Mr. Grant will bring you along!" I laughed. "I'm about to give birth and shouldn't be going to places. I'm not going anywhere." "You're right. It won't be convenient for you to go anywhere right now. Besides, it's also your birthday that day. Mr. Grant will probably stay at hto keep you company instead of attending the party!" As soon as she said that, I remembered that I shared the sbirthday as Cindy. I never celebrated my birthday, so I had completely forgotten about it.

"Maybe," I smiled and spoke tentatively, "You mentioned that Miss Cindy is getting engaged. Who's her fiance?" She shook her head. "I don't know either. Speaking of that, it's really strange. Judging from Miss Louis' status and identity, her fiance must be a very famous person but his identity has been kept a secret. All I heard is that he's someone nobody has ever seen. You know that a lot of things we servants hear are just hearsay, so we're not sure about the details either." I nodded and said no more.

When I returned to the villa, Theo was not home. As I was bored, I charged my phone and switched it on. I soon saw several missed calls. Sof them were from Jerome. I suddenly remembered Cecilia had spoken about his return to Whaldorf City.

Therefore, I made a call and it connected immediately after the first ring. "Wanda Lane, you heartless wench. If I hadn't made a call then were you planning to ignore us forever?" Jerome's discontented yell hurt my eardrums a little. Even so, I was in a pretty good mood after hearing the voice that I had not heard for a very long time. I could not help but tease, "Us? Who else is there?" He paused for a moment and cleared his throat before saying seriously, "Cecilia and me, of course. Don't you know that we're worried about you?" "I think Xander's more like it!" Hearing an old friend's voice in a foreign land putin a good mood, hence I began joking. "Looks like your relationship has improved. When are you invitingto your wedding banquet?" "Speak nonsense again and I'll tear your mouth off." Jersounded a little flustered and immediately changed the subject. "Sendyour location. I'll go and visit you." I teased him a bit more and sent him my address after hanging up the call.

I then looked at the other missed calls and saw several of them from Tyler. I did not call him and merely switched off my phone. I continued to sit in the living room in a daze.

Theo rushed back during lunchtand sawsitting on the sofa, daydreaming. He pickedup and putdown on the sofa so I was halflying. Then, he grabbed a blanket to cover my legs before pullinginto his arms while saying softly, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the hospital for a few more days?" "I don't want to stay in the hospital. We have doctors a t home, so it's the same. He can still check onat home," I replied softly.

He did not say another word and merely heldtight. I looked up at him. He still looked weary, as ever. The stubble on his chin was growing and coupled with his slightly unkempt hair, he looked particularly haggard. "Are you feeling very tired lately?" I asked.

"Well, I'm not tired of holding you." He closed his eyes and rested his chin on my shoulder.

I said no more when I saw him in this state. I initially had a lot of questions to ask, but I had no choice but to but had no swallow them back in. I allowed him.

to holdin silence as I stared out the window in a daze. His phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. I moved my body but he remained still. I said," Theo, your phone's ringing." X
