Theo returned ha half hour after me.
"What is it?" | asked as | walked toward him, immediately concerned about what had happened just now.
However, Theo still acted as if everything was light and breezy as he guidedtoward the couch so | could sit
down. As he rubbed my stomach, he said, "Pregnant women shouldn't get triggered."
| stared at his face intently, hoping to detect something amiss. However, | still failed to notice anything.
| sighed and calmed myself down before | asked in a steady voice, "Did one of the security guards take the
photos?"
Theo slowly removed his hands as he sat besideand said, "This is a private villa, and security here has been
tight since it was built. Not a single thing has ever gone wrong since the people who can afford to live here aren't
any ordinary citizens. Yet, this happened. The photos were taken so easily, and no breaches could be spotted. |
can't cup with any other explanation other than it was done by a security guard."
His analysis made sense, and | nodded in agreement. "You're right, but this is no simple matter. The guards will

never admit to it unless you have evidence."
"If they did it as a favor, they would have done it for money, right? Perhaps you could check their bank
accounts?" | asked.
Theo was playing with my hair, and he chuckled after listening to what | said. "I've checked them, and there
weren't any transaction records. Maybe they accepted their payments in cash."
His voice sounded playful as he spoke.
Then, he abruptly leaned closer to my ear and said, "Your hair smells wonderful, Madam."
How did he still have the tto crack jokes at a tlike this?
| shook my head helplessly while reaching up to move his face away. "President Grant, how are you still in the
mood to joke around?"
"That's your fault. How could you be so mesmerizing?"
If Theo had not been next to me, | would never have known he was so corny.
| shook my head and gave him a

blaming look. "Theo Grant, stop fooling around." "I'm not fooling around," Theo replied with an innocent look on
his face. "I'll take
care of this. Don't worry and stay at home."
He was going to take care of things by himself again.

Theo seemed to sense my displeasure and placed his hands on my shoulders so he could turnto face him.
"Are you angry?"
"Do you think | could be happy?" | replied. | had a solemn expression on my face as | said, "It's been so many

| cut him off before he could finish speaking. "It's only been a few months, so it's not that serious yet. Besides,
my belly isn't showing yet. Who else other than an expert would be able to tell?"
My argument caused Theo to laugh
as he was rendered speechless. "Alright, | promise that you can take care of this issue. I'll ask Keith to go with
you so that he can help you look into anything you think of and also protect you."
"Alright. Thank you, Grant."
Perhaps it was because | had spoken too formally, but the look in Theo's eyes immediately changed as he
grabbed my waist and exerted pressure on it so | would fall into his arms, His voice was hoarse as he asked,
"What did you call meg "Theo," | called out. However, he was still not satisfied and tightened his hold so our
bodies would press even closer to each other. "We're husband and wife."
"Darling." | had never called him that before, and | felt embarrassed as | called out to him in a low voice.
