Chapter 284 I smiled slightly. "It's fine. Let's just sit on the second floor. Didn't you say that the second floor has a better view? I'd like to see it too." As I said that, I picked a window seat and sat down.
The doctor sat in front ofawkwardly and uttered softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-" I shook my head. "It's not your fault. Thanks for the recommendation. This place is pretty good. I like it very much." The seat I took was just two tables away from Theo and Cindy. He would be able to seeas soon as he looked up.
Unsure what the two of them were talking about, Theo remained indifferent as ever. On the other hand, Cindy did not look so good. The joy and superiority she displayed in front ofthis morning had disappeared. Theo raised his cup to take a sip of water and met my gaze as soon as he looked up.
Surprised, he put down the cup and looked fixedly at me. I was uncertain what he was thinking about.

I then retracted my gaze and chatted with the doctor, no longer looking at him.
The waitress served the desserts and I lowered my head to take two bites. I gave the doctor a thumbs up and a smile. "It's really good. I like it very much." The doctor's smile looked a little forced. She was clearly uncomfortable and darted her gaze at Theo involuntarily.
I understood her awkwardness because Theo and I were a couple, yet he was now having afternoon tea with another woman. It would be hard for anyone not t o overthink this.
After a very long time, the doctor looked atwith apprehension. "Mrs. Grant, why don't we go and greet Mr. Grant? It looks like he's having a discussion with the lady. Maybe we can leave together when he's done." Having a discussion? She was pretty thoughtful for making things seem less awkward.
I shook my head and said with a smile, "It's fine. It looks like Mr. Grant is almost done with his discussion now." In the distance, Theo had already stood up and was walking toward us. He sat besidewith a look of displeasure on his face, saying, "Didn't the doctor ask you to stay in bed and rest at home? You've just been discharged from the hospital!" I stuffed sdessert into my mouth, my gaze falling on Cindy who was sitting in the distance. She seemed really furious at the moment because she was staring atwith bitter resentment.
I was not sure what they had spoken about to make her so upset. Perhaps my presence had made her unhappy.
I turned around and looked at Theo, saying blandly," You should probably go back and continue with your discussion or I'll be hated again." "Wanda Lane." He frowned, his expression dark and sullen.
I stood up, a stifling sensation spreading in my chest." Keep it down. I can hear you. I'm sorry for interrupting you." I then looked at the dessert on the table which I had only taken two bites of and said to the doctor, "I'm sorry that I'll have to let you down despite your kind invitation. Should we pack these up and eat them at home?" The doctor looked awkward. She glanced at Theo, then atbefore saying softly, "Alright, I'll go and pay the bill." "I'll wait for you outside." I did not spare Theo another glance after saying that and turned around to walk downstairs.
I was in such a rush that when I walked out of the door, my body felt slightly tired and I waited for the doctor at the steps by the roadside.

She ran out after him while panting heavily. There were still moist tears on her face. "We're doing this for your own good, Theowy. Why won't you accept Mom and Dad's suggestions? Is it worth it to sacrifice everything for a child?" Theo did not look back at her and cup towhile taking my hand, saying, "Let's go!"
"I think you still have things to handle.
You should just go. I'll wait for the m doctor." I looked at Cindy and smiled slightly, Miss Reed looks like she still has things to say to you. You should continue." "Let's talk when we're at home." He frowned slightly. I could tell that he was not in a good mood.
"Mm, we have plenty of tto talk in bed at night. You should keep Miss Reed company for now," I said seriously while looking at him.
Theo did not say a word. Cindy, who was following behind him, could not stand it anymore. "How shameless can you get, Wanda?"
I froze. "That doesn't sound right, Miss Reed. How am I shameless? I'm o.m shameless just because I'm going to haye a discussion with my husband in bed? But you, Miss Reed, are pregnant before even getting married. Are you not shameless? Is it really necessary to pretend to be innocent at a tlike this?" X
