"Sendyour location. I'll be right there.
| was stunned. "Okay."
In the past, whenever | said that | was out on a weekday, Theo would be able to findinstantly as if he had
installed a tracker on my phone.
Now, | had to send him the location myself. That warmed my heart.
After hanging up, | sent the location to Theo. When | looked up, the smile on Fred's face had changed.
"Theo just finished work, so | had him cover."
"Is he that controlling?" Fred's tone sounded like he was half-joking and halfhinting at how bossy Theo was.
| did not want him to think of Theo that way.
"No, he's just stopping by. Besides, he's not as busy these days, so he wants to spend as much twith the kids
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtas possible."
"Tina, how have you been?" | turned to look at the two kids beside me.
The conversation just now madea little uncomfortable, and after Fred addressed the elephant in the room,
our conversation got even more excruciating.
| was very upset with his hostility toward Theo, and if he kept this up, | might not pay any more visits in the
future.
When the child saw me, her eyes opened wide. "I went to summer camp during the holidays. It was in a city by
the sea, and | saw lots of marine life, much more than in aquariums."
The kid gesticulated with her hands excitedly. It seemed like the summer camp had made a lasting impression
on her.
Fred kept quiet while Tina and | chatted away.
Not long after, Theo arrived. He sat down without ordering anything and said, "Mr. Cullen, it's been a while." He
took the initiative to greet Fred. "Mr. Grant, long tno see."
| gradually felt the awkwardness in the air. "Letorder a drink for you."
When I got up, Theo grabbed my wrist.
"No need, I'll just drink yours." Upon seeing that, the two children next tocovered their mouths and giggled.
They saw Theo grab my hand, and they started talking about it as if it were a scene
in a TV show, so | sat down embarrassedly.
On the opposite side, Fred's expression had completely changed.
Theo picked up the milk tea in front ofand took a big gulp.
| frowned a little as he usually was not one to drink milk tea, but he took such a big sip just to piss Fred off. Was
that really necessary? In Theo's eyes, it obviously was.
I saw both of them glowering at each other, and | did not want the kids to feel like something was off hurriedly
said, "Do you have any plans for tonight? We were planning to make meatballs today. Why don't you and Tina
cover?"
1-* 'Dear, we're having a family dinner today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Your invitation will make Mr. Cullen feel uncomfortable."
Theo interrupted Fred before he could finish his words, and the faint smile on Fred's face disappeared in an
instant.
After Theo was done talking, he
looked atand smiled. His words sounded like he was being considerate of Fred, but he was
really just brazenly turning down my offer on behalf of Fred.
It was just a meal. Did he have to be this petty?
Plus, Munchkin and Tina could have fun together.
"Aunt Wanda, | already have plans with my classmates this evening I'll be going over to their place for a chess
match, and I'm afraid the gwill last a long time. | won't be able to make it. I'll invite you and
Uncle Theo over next time. You can bring Munchkin over to our house for dinner." Tina acted as the peacemaker «
just in time.
