Chapter 125 Cecilia turned her head around, looked at me, and spoke in a serious tone. "So leave Theo. I can take care of both of you." I was stunned for a moment when she suddenly said that. I hugged her and said, "Why are you suddenly talking about this? But TH definitely divorce him and leave. It's just a matter of time." She broke free from the hug, patted my shoulder, and smiled. "Alright, I just suddenly feel a little emotional. TH wait for you no matter how long it takes. And I've found a place in Rosella City. The living expenses are lower there. When the tcomes, we'll buy a villa and our lives will be better than they are here." Looking at Cecilia's tearful eyes while she pretended that she was having it easy, I suddenly realized that she had changed. She had changed into someone who had a lot on her mind and who was keeping things in her heart.
Maybe it was because of Xander. I did not think much of it either. I held her hand and said, "Don't worry. Just leave it to me. We still have a long way to go, and there's tfor that." "Yes, it's a long way, indeed. Let's stop thinking about it. Let's go enjoy the seafood buffet. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I didn't take my lunch just for this meal." Cecilia finally smiled and pulledalong toward the seafood restaurant.
It remindedof when we were still in school. Both of us did not have much money then. We had to save u p for a long tto have a delicious meal.
I was really poor at that time, but I was genuinely happy. When there were no worries, there would be no ties. My heart was free.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter dinner, we went back to Cecilia's house. Cecilia had specially designed a baby room. She painted the walls and decorated the room with cartoons. She even bought a crib.
"Is this what you've been busy with all this time?" I looked at the beautiful room with disbelief.
"Yes, I designed the room. I got all these things in the room online, and I picked them out myself. How's it? Pretty good, right?" While talking, Cecilia struggled to move the stuff that she had just bought into the room.
"You're always fighting with Theo. Now that you're alone, it's easy for you to run away from home. When you have a baby in the future, it won't be as convenient anymore. So I had to prepare a room for the baby. I won't mistreat our son..." I looked at Cecilia who was seriously assembling the baby chair while listening to her. I could not help myself as tears rolled down my face. I went forward and hugged her, bursting into tears.
Having her in my life was my greatest blessing.
"Alright, alright. I'm the baby's godmother. I'm supposed to do all these." Cecilia continued to work on the baby chair.
She did not allowto help and shooedout of the room. Then, she askedto sit on the sofa, watch television, and eat sfruits. My phone rang at this time. I picked up my phone and saw that it was Theo.
He was on a business trip. Why was he suddenly looking for me? I hesitated for a moment but still tapped on the answer button anyway. "Hello, President Grant." I was not intentionally keeping my distance from him. I just thought that since he was on a business trip, he probably called to ask about work. I was not doing anything wrong by addressing him that.
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. It felt like almost half a day had passed before he started talking. "Where are you?" His voice was deep and husky. He sounded tired.
"I'm at Cecilia's place. What's the matter?" I replied honestly.

Cecilia rested her hands on her hips and walked out of the room while letting out a sigh. She said, "I'm really getting old now. I only squatted for a while but I'm already having a backache." "Cover, letgive you a massage." I stood up and signaled her to cover.
"I'm all sweaty. I'll take a shower first." Cecilia went into the bathroom after she said that.
After a while, the doorbell rang. I looked at the tand saw that it om was almost ten o'clock it was probably the delivery guy for the food Cecilia ordered. I stood up and went to open the door.
Outside the door, there was a tall and lean figure standing there. He was was dressed in all-black attire, 16oking ΝΟ deadly serious and cold. I was startled. Was Theo not abroad on a business trip? I was stunned and asked, "Why are you here?" "Am I not welchere?" he spoke with his deep and husky voice, looking slightly exhausted.
After he said that, he lifted his leg and walked inside. I stepped forward, blocked him. I said gently, "Don't cin. It's inconvenient."
It was true. Apart from not wanting him to see the baby room that Geçilia had decorated, it was also because Cecilia would always put on a super short nightgown after she showered. X
