As my words fell, | kissed his lips.
Theo was stunned.

Theo nodded his head blankly.
| withdrew my hand that was holding his collar. When | was about to lie down, Theo unexpectedly pressed the
back of my head and kissed me.
After the kiss, Theo replied, "If it isn't because | have things to do, | definitely wouldn't let you go."

My heart tightened. "I'll pass the message to him now."
Zedd cursed in a low voice but | did not hear clearly what he said. All | heard was, "Why are you the one
answering his calls?"
| lowered my eyes and replied to him faintly, "He's taking a shower now. | answered the call because | was
worried that you might have something urgent to say to him. As soon as | answered, you said so much that |

"Wanda Lane!" Zedd was very angry. "You're really shameless. You should have interruptedwhen | was
talking earlier but you didn't do so. You intentionally wanted to hear what | was saying. You're really
problematic."
