NovelEnglishChapter 1841
At night, I lay in bed as I listened to Theo talk on the phone from the balcony.
| had to admit that his foreign pronunciation was very comfortable to listen to.
However, seeing the tight frown on his brows made my heart clench. Although I could understand the language, |
could only hear the words intermittently. It merely leftfeeling confused. When | saw the frown on Theo's face
grow deeper, | grew even more worried.
Could it be that something went wrong with the previous oversea project?
After a while, Theo walked in from outside and sawstaring at him with a big pair of eyes. He could not help
but chuckle and asked, "Have you been staring atthe whole time?"
I nodded slowly, then got up and looked at him with my legs crossed on the bed "I noticed the look on your face
earlier. Did something happen to the foreign project?"
Theo shook his head. 'They want to change sdetails, but | rejected them."

"It's against the rules to change the details of the contract at the last minute," | said without hesitation.
"Yes. So we won't agree to it. Rest assured, we've signed the agreement from an earlier time, so if they breach
the contract, they'll have to pay a large amount of compensation," Theo saw my concern and explained to me
with a smile.
His gentle and confident smile allowedto let go of the slight worry in my heart."
Mm. That's good, then."
Theo lay down as well. He stretched his arms aroundand put his chin on my head. "By the way, | called to
ask Jenny earlier, and she said that with the extent of Director Doyle's wound, the scar isn't permanent. It just
needs time, so don't worry too much about it."
It was just a matter of time.
| heaved out a sigh of relief. "That's good. If the scar on Nicky's face doesn't go away, I'll feel guilty about it for
the rest of my life."
"Silly girl. Don't worry too much. Even the doctor said that it'll be fine, so don't overthink it."
As | lay in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, my whole heart gradually calmed down. | could not
remember when | fell asleep. By the t| woke up, it was already morning.
The man besidehad long gone. He must have headed over to the company early in the morning.
Sometimes, | truly wondered how Theo maintained his mental state. He would stay up late almost every day yet
get up so early in the morning.
After washing up, | went downstairs, and Nicky just happened to be coming down. When she saw me, there was
a bright smile on her face. "Good morning, Wanda."
"Morning."
My eyes subconsciously drifted to the scar on the right side of her face. It seemed unrecoverable even though
she had used plenty of makeup. For a moment, | felt an unspeakable sadness in my heart.
"What's the matter, Wanda?" Nicky asked softly.
| cback to my senses and waved at her "It's nothing. Yesterday, Theo gave Dr. Jenny a call. She said that the

Hearing my words, Nicky seemed to smile in an unconcerned manner. "It's alright. won't take this matter to
heart. On the contrary, Wanda, you seem to be more worried about this than | am. You shouldn't be. Even if this
scar stays on my face forever, | wouldn't mind it No, no! Don't say such a thing. If this scar
is forever on your face, then I'll be uneasy for the rest of my life." | looked at her with a solemn look on my face.
Nicky looked atwith a profound
gaze. After a long while, she had a
slight smile on her face as she pattedon the shoulder. "The doctor said that it'll get better, so it'll surely get
better." After saying this, she walked pastand went to the table to sit down.
Looking at the smile on the corner of her mouth, | admired Nicky's transparency. From the looks of it, | could not
