I Never Regretted Leaving You by Lana Mora

Chapter 120

The butler turned around and left.

Theo, however, inexplicably becrestless and uneasy. “Grandma, | think it’s better forto avoid it.”

The Madam stared at Theo in astonishment and said, “You, the devil of this world, never used to care about

these formalities. How did you becso gentlemanly and refined now?”

Theo slipped away faster than a rabbit. “Grandma, you were talking to Ms. Thea about work. Your grandson

would disturb you here.”

The Madam saw him sneak into the study behind the screen and, without going far, silently allowed him to be a

deserter.

In a moment, the butler brought Thea in.

The Madam carefully observed the girl who seemed a little unusual to her beloved grandson. She noticed that

the girl had an outstanding temperament, a graceful figure, and a beautiful appearance, but there was a hint of

melancholy in her eyes. It was evident that she was a woman with a story. As a result, the Madam becmore

cautious towards Thea.

“Ms. Thea, please have a seat,”

Thea sat gracefully across from the Madam. Damien stated his purpose. “Madam, | am the design director of ‘A

Lifetwith You‘. Today, | am presumptuous to disturb you, but | would like to ask for an opportunity to

collaborate with you, Madam.”

After speaking, Thea took out the project brochure she had prepared in advance and respectfully handed it to the

Madam.

“Madam, this is our company’s new product. We are following a high-end luxury route. | heard that the Browns’

Global Trade Building has a vacant seat available for lease, and | hope you can give our company an

opportunity...”

The Madam looked at her slender and delicate fingers, which were clearly trembling slightly, indicating that she

appeared calm on the surface but was actually nervous and uneasy inside.

The Madam took the photo album and placed it on the coffee table. Her interest in the photo album was far less

than her interest in Thea herself. “How old is Ms. Thea this year?”

Thea was quite surprised and guessed that the Madam might be trying to indirectly inquire about her work

experience, so she said, “I am twenty-four years old this year. Although | haven't been in the industry for long, |

am very passionate about the fashion industry...”

The Madam interrupted her, “Ms. Thea, do you recognize my grandson Theo?”

Thea was dumbfounded.

She talked about work with the Madam, but the Madam talked to her about personal matters.

Off the mark.

She nodded reluctantly, “I recognize.”

The Madam had a knowing expression on her face, “No

wonder.”

Today, the reason why Theo suddenly chbecvery clear.

“Are you friends?” the Madam asked.

Thea was in a difficult situation. She really wanted to tell the Madam that she and Theodore were more than just

friends. They used to be inseparable, considering each other as family and relying on each other.

Thea'’s inherent melancholic tone made her constantly worry and feel uncertain.

She was afraid that once the Madam found out about her birth, she would act like those snobbish noblewomen

and prevent her from having any contact with Theo.

So she tried to downplay it as much as possible and said, “I guess so.”

The Madam was greatly shocked. After all, Theo, with his aloof personality, had never had any friends from

childhood to adulthood. Even if children approached him willingly, he never responded to them, no matter how

much they called out to him.

Now that he made friends,, Mrs. Sanchez no longer cared about Thea’s background. She believed that Thea

could change her precious grandson's personality. Thea was indeed an extraordinary woman.

Nature thought highly of her.

“Thea, my brother Theodore has a cold personality, just like a block of wood. Sometimes he has a bad temper

and can be a bit insensitive. However, deep down he is very kind-hearted. Since you are his friend, please be

more understanding of him. in the future. When he acts difficult, | hope you won't argue with

him.”

Thea was daydreaming.

Between the lines of the Madam’s words and actions, there was

an abundance of deep affection for Theodore. She felt a faint joy in her heart. Theodore was unfortunate, yet

fortunate at the stime.

The Madam suddenly fell silent and tapped her own mouth, reproaching herself, “Should I not have told you

these things? You won't despise my family Theodore because of this, will you?”

Thea shook her head and blurted out excitedly, “Madam, Theodore only shows his claws to those who hurt him.

He behaves well in front of me, and | really like him. | will never despise him in my whole life.”

The Madam was struck by lightning.

Oh my God, what did she hear?

“It sounds like you had a close relationship with my family’s Theodore, huh?”

Behind the screen, Theo couldn't help but curl his lips.

The enchanting peach blossom eyes were filled with a smile,

unaware.

“I would like to see how you answer my grandmother,” he eagerly awaited.

Thea cto her senses and was frightened to death.

“Madam, please do not misunderstand... | simply treated Theodore as a younger brother.”

The Madam said, “Nowadays, don’t you young people like to have relationships with a significant age

difference?”

Thea'’s face turned as red as a persimmon. “Madam, not only am | six years older than Theodore, but | have also

been divorced once. | have never thought of having any romantic feelings for Theodore. In fact, | have no plans

to get married again in my lifetime.”

The Madam remained silent for a long time.

“I was impulsive. Ms. Thea, | will carefully read your work, so go back and wait for my message.”

Thea left nervously.

Theo walked out with a calm and handsface.

The Madam glanced at Theo, who had a cold and tense face, and quipped, “Has she ever seen your icy

expression?”

Theo sat gloomily on the sofa, and suddenly a huge pit formed in the sofa.

“Why did Grandma ask her such strange questions?”

The Madam pretended to be foolish and asked, “What problem?”

“Grandma wanted to know about my relationship with her, so you cto ask me.”

The Madam couldn't help but ask “You are so carefully paving the way for her career, does your grandmother

still need to ask about your thoughts? Of course, grandmother wants to know, how does she treat you, the

person you like?”

Theo looked shocked, was his thoughts so obvious?

Suddenly, he becdespondent again. “You heard it. Your grandson is probably going to live a lonely life until

the end.”

The Madam felt that Theo was just at the age of making up new words to express his sorrow, and her affection

for him was nothing more than an experience on his journey of youth.

Therefore, taking a supportive attitude, | said, “I'm not so sure.”

Theo's dull eyes sparkled. “Grandmother, what wisdom do you have?”

The Madam said, “You were behind the screen, only hearing her voice, but not seeing her. You didn’t see how

nervous she was. Nervous to the point where her fingers were trembling, nervous to the point where her mouth

was dry. Theodore, this girl cares about you a lot, and because she cares, she can’t relax in front of me.”

Theo smiled with delight.

hope you trouble her.”

The Madam sighed, “If we talk about selfishness, Grandma doesn’t want you to find a woman with a complicated

love history. However, Grandma is afraid that you will follow your mother’s path, so she won't interfere in your

emotional issues. Just remember, Theodore, love others but also love yourself.”

“Thank you, Grandma.”

In the afternoon, Mr. Brown hurriedly rushed back home.
